Hi All:

This will not be a long post (well compared to normal) as most of what is covered will be given in two very important links I will provide from Google.

So you are going through the training ( well I hope you are) and writing content, which is great

Over the years and especially the last couple of years with Google Helpful Content updates to which I am sure, most have been affected even I know the super affiliate here. and for most, not in the positive of ways either, unfortunately.

We have seen many changes to the way Search Engines work. Especially Google who is looking at how well we write content and if it is really helpful or just a waste of writing time hence, not ranking as well as one would like because it is not up to par as it could and should be.

.

My question to you is:

How good do you feel your content is, and how do you know you have done what is needed?

Close enough is really not good enough, more so these days online.

Have you done a self-assessment or just relied on feedback, etc?

You might even ask,

How can I know if it does what it is supposed to do?

Which is to first gain followers to my site and getting their trust while showing my authority with the content I produce.

The ultimate result would be getting my readers to click the links to either buy the products or services I am promoting and the final result which I remind you is a benefit that is making a commission as a result of your good work and effort.

For those making sales, commissions regularly, that is great, even then, you can push further and expand on your earnings perhaps those can do even better.

Guidelines

Are you getting followers to your site in the first place?

Are they regular followers?

Are you making commissions as a result of your great work?

Well for most that depends on the quality of your content and how you go about writing helpful and unique content that benefits first and foremost your readers.

Well here is your way of checking out.

Those who have been in the mix will certainly know the first one which is the Google E-E-A-T- Guidelines link is below.

For those new to the scene I strongly urge you take proper time to read it through as it is for your benefit.

Now when you read that it will give you a greater understanding of what Google is looking for however, it doesn't stop there.

Here is where it is also vital you take proper time. I said proper time and not skim though.

If you are really serious about having a successful business online then you will make time otherwise you are just wasting time for yourself.

This way I am providing the links below as it covers what you need to look at, check to see if you are providing within your content that is asked of and apply what needs to be fixed, adjusted or re-done if necessary.

This checklist will show you what you need to ensure you are covering what is required to not only help the readers intent but also give you a greater opportunity to rank in Search Engines especially Google, but don't underestimate Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines.

Google Search Central

Both links are from Google Search Central and you can later looking around their site for more details on many aspects which are all important for you and your success online.

I suggest you first save their links somewhere and with the bottom link I strongly suggest you copy and paste what they say and use that as a checklinks before you publish your content.

There is much stated in this guideline, so don't take it lightly with what it states.

But like in Kyle latest post you keep going over the hurdles and not give up.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/kyle/blog/the-hurdles-are-part-of-the-path-keep-jumping-over-them

Here by reading, applying what you learn from the guideline and don't forget the same with all the training you have within WA will help you lesson many hurdles.

Later you can look at all they have and see what else you can gain from what Google is seeking over the years.

Treat this as part of your research in order to be successful online.

That is all; the rest is up to you

Wishing you well

As Always
