I'm trying to find a comment I made a few days ago to a blog written by a fellow Wealth Affiliate member. I was trying to find my "timeline" here, a quick reference as to what
That's a great question Anne, I'm not sure if there's a quicker way either. I usually scroll through my browser history when I'm trying to find a site I had visited. I usually can't remember the site, lol... but scrolling through my history sometimes rings a bell. Not sure if that's helpful here. You may find the site you left a comment on but it won't provide a timeline.
Hey Anne
Is this related to your WA blog or your site?
Wishing you well and a terrific day
Thanks for your reply. It's one of three members here. I have the habit of deleting my emails after I make a response so I'm back tracking through my deleted emails to find it :). I'll get there! I was just hoping there was an easier way.

Is there a timeline of your comments made here?

Click on the bell next to the dollar sign at top menu ,there you can see notifications on responses of blogs you participated in :-)
If it is not to WA posts, but a blog outside WA, you can find the link back in the comment section, under Sitecomments - Comments offered ,you find the links to where you gave comment , if they are approved ,usually the owner has commented too, simply click to link to go back to blog. Unfortunately , no notifications by WA when commented on your comment as WA does not own the blog,

I have an AIOSEA score for every article I've published to date, that is until my last post. For my last post, under the column "AIOSEO scores" my post reflects a N/A. I am hav
Hi Anne, as Bola mentioned, AIOSEO only really helps you with your on-page SEO. And even then it's really limited because it doesn't consider your competition.
It can be good as a sort of checklist to make sure you've covered the basics, but what you really want to be doing is analyzing the competing articles for the keywords you're targeting.
When you type your keyword into Google you'll see the search engine results page (SERPS). Those results are exactly what Google is looking for, which is why Google is giving them a good ranking. With that knowledge, you can kind of reverse engineer your content to make sure you're covering everything the top-ranked articles are covering, and then improve on what they've done by adding some points or data that the top pages are missing.
SEO plugins can definitely be helpful, but they can also provide a false sense of confidence by indicating your content is good enough to be ranking in the top spots,. However, whether your content is good enough for a top spot or not can only be determined "relative to the content that's already ranking in the top spots".
There are paid AI tools that can do that for you, but unless you're producing mountains of content or outsourcing, in which case those tools can help you put together a quick content brief within a few minutes to send to your writer ... you can do fine without them. It's just a matter of going through each post in the top 10 and making a note of all the points they are covering and it's also good to get an average word count. For example, if the top 10 posts are all big 5000+ word articles or "ultimate guides", it's going to be hard to outrank them with a 1500 word post.
On the other hand, you might find they are all under 1000 words and not very thorough at all. Some of them might not even be that relevant to the search query "intent"... which usually means Google couldn't find any good articles to answer the searcher's question. In that case, they will be a lot easier to outrank.
Plugins and tools are extremely helpful at some things when it comes to raw data, or delivering and analyzing certain metrics, but there are other things we are better at doing ourselves :-)
Thank you so much! I love the idea of reverse engineering and improving on what you see in the top articles listed. I hadn't considered that before. I do visit those that come up at the top of the SERPS for ideas and facts but that is an excellent recommendation!
I'm learning everyday and appreciate your help!

Hi Anne,
There are so many facets to SEO.
(Tags, excerpt length. headers in your article ,
,
, your article title, permalink and target keyword etc.)
Whilst using the free AIOSEO will help you, let me say two things:
1. It is does not provide a complete picture, because it is only doing the on page SEO
2. You want to revisit the training materials to master this aspect of your business.
If you really want to have a comprehensive SEO, you should consider the pro version.
Hope this helps
Then when you create a new post or page the AIOSEO section should show up automatically and if you fill in Title and meta description you should see a score .
You are right, it is easy and not difficult.
Look below after the article, Fill in the title, meta description. Keyword, and other requirements.
Don't forget your image SEO. After all is done, look below and you will see your AIO prompting you on your omissions for corrections
All the best
