I think you have been advised wrongly... no links in ARTICLES especially ones you submit to article submissions; but you can have a link in your SigFile (the bottom few lines after your signature.) After all, people write articles to have hundreds of people read them, of course you want them to look at your program. Now blogs are a whole lot different and why I moved from article writing to blogging. Internal links in blogs are a plus. :-)

Didn't know you were talking about WA blog posts!! Thought you were asking about your OWN website.

Loes got you covered. Enjoy your weekend.

So now I am also confused. I guess you are asking about blogs here at WA, in this case Loes has answered properly. But the last sentence in your text looks like related to your site, if so you are free to make any links you find suitable. Jovo

I have no official word, but My understanding is that if it is a resource that will help someone, and is completely FREE you may get away with it. Even these links I send by pm at someones request.

Hi. You cannot promote any other links in WA, but as Loes rightly says below you can link to your website. If you want to promote a product or affiliate product, then you should promote them in your website where you may add blog posts. I guess it's just a way for people to not be spammed within WA which I think is a good policy to have!

Ow blimey, the witch hunt is getting of. I am speaking for myself now. I am not on the payrol of WA, nor do I have an official role to speak for WA.
My opinion:
The links you cannot use are those of other affiliate programs, links to promote products to gain custumers, links in which you ask somebody to join some org. etc.

You can place links to your website, to give people further info to the blog you wrote though, or to articles where you have your information from. All links which are helpful to others for building their websites.
You also can share links for joy and entertainment:)

Spam is un - asked link sharing for your own gain.

Hope that makes it a bit clear:)

Laura is correct. Your question has me scratching my head...because most, if not all the posts we put on our sites, usually contains a product link of some kind. So again, where are these comments originating from?

My understanding is that "external links" - which lead to more information on the subject at hand, from a trusted source, are fine. In fact, my Yoast SEO check advises me to include a few in each post and each page content.

What is frowned upon by Google is lots of external links that lead to affiliate recruiting sites and/or promotion/sales of your wares. You can include one of those, but 2 or more is a no-no.

What Kyle suggest in his training is to use "internal links" in your posts that take the reader to a page on your site that has the offers of affiliate sign-ups and/or promotion/sales of your wares.

That way the vast majority of your pages and posts are in good compliance, and the one recruiting/sales page is balanced well with the overall useful and helpful info on your site.

That's my take, and how I do it - any others care to chime in?

Hi! Where are you getting the comments from, because blog posts are often FULL of links to all kinds of things. Like this blog post http://trackmaven.com/blog/2014/01/10-elements-of-the-best-performing-blog-posts/ - it's full of links to examples, other blogs, datasheets, etc etc. Providing the links are clear and the page isn't cluttered with them, then go for it I say! x

A lot of good information, I can't think of anything to add. Let me know how it turns out.

777 has you covered. Just change the status of the Page to Draft. Then you can cut and paste any or all of the content from the Draft page to the new Blog Post. That's pretty much it. Although if Google has already indexed the page, you may need to remove the Page URL. I have never done it, but it is my understanding that you can use Webmaster tools to remove the URL. You might type Webmaster tools in the Search box above to find out how to use it.

Copy and paste the work you wish to move to word. Then the work that is left behind. Think about it is there any way u can ad content to it to motivate it to fit where it is change the content a bit and the direction a bit. So it is still a candy but it is not a Christmas candy it is an Easter bunny candy. That way you get two for one.

Then the one you copied and pasted to word. Re read it spiff it up a bit put some blush and mascara on it and a little eye shadow add an extra dimension to it so it doesn't look like you are just doing random copy pasting and whala you have a new blog you can put where you originally wanted.

Hi. You still have the page? Always double check the Text html see which area to keep or which to set aside from. Copy and paste to notepad or anywhere to save your precious works and documents

Hey Angela you can unpublish a page or post by selecting draft. You don't have to delete it.

Here's the steps on how to convert your post or page:
1. Go to you plugins page on your website dashboard and search for ptypeconverter.
2. Install the plugin and activate.
3. Go to Tools then click on pTypeConverter.
4. Go to the Convert tab and filter your list by Post or Page whichever content type you want to convert.
5. Tick the posts or pages you want to convert then select the type of content you want it converted to and hit on the Convert! button.

Leoemery would probably know this as I am sure he has answered others asking this. I think he gave an answer when Indiem asked this.

There are two good answers to a similar question here at WA:

Click on "Pages", find the page you want to delete and move the mouse pointer over the title. This will bring up a control menu which will have Trash on it.

go to your site dashboard , select the page you want to delete. and you will see options to edit save or delete just select delete and your done

Copy the text onto your clipboard and then delete the page which was created and click >Pages >All Pages navigate to the page you want to delete and select Trash and it will delete. Then Add New Post and paste your text and click Publish. I hope that helps.

you should be able to delete it from the published stage.

Thank you all very much for the assistance! Cheers!

put it where it can be seen soon as youir site loads

Hi Angela. You have your solution now but you might be interested to know that there is a video on Youtube about "Three Ways To Add PDF Files To Your WordPress Site" (cannot copy the link here).

I use FileZilla :) Edit Website Files Via FTP

Hi Angela, it sounds like you received the same advice I would have given. Good luck with your PDF transfers.

Go to Media in your Wordpress dashboard, hover and choose "add new," you canthen upload it from your PC. :)

Type "how to upload pdf" here at WA in the search box and you will find plenty of tutorials
