Compelled to Say Diet's Don't Work - EVER!

Sorry to tell you folks but they don't - never have never will.more of that in a while.What compelled me to write this is Kyle's recent post;https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/kyle/blog/its-never-about-th...He talks about diet in there but his post is about business and I have to agree with him wholeheartedly. Actually it's quite difficult to disagree with Kyle'comments as they always make so much sense. He's a common sense kind of guy.I've been here for 16 years so have a fair idea of what he ha

The Dumbest Person at WA

Learning Something About Myself

I'm EXTREMELY UncomfortableOver the years - too many to mention, I have always stuck to niches that I am very familiar with and yet I haven't been a raging success. Sure the odd sale here and there and some months are good.For months I have been asking myself why this is - ever since Amazon decided to cut my pay!My Search for A Big Ticket ItemI figured if I am going to make a few sales they may as well be high paying ones and so I went in search of something worthwhile.A couple of folks here

Can someone Please tell me Who Stole it?

Just Disappeared!My table of contents has gone AWOL since just before the lockdown.I haven't changed a thing but something has changed.I use Elementor and for some obscure reason my last couple of posts do not have a "Table of Contents".Has anyone else had this problem and if so how have you resoolved it please?TIA

How long is too long?

I think I am overdoing it.My last post - a "best of" type covers 12 products and runs to 6,600 words.It takes me forever to do and I am wondering if it is worth going to that length.I don't know how to reduce it without detracting from the info it contains.I think my next 10 posts will be short and sharp (less than 1500 words if possible) just to give me some relief from these lengthy posts.Anyone know if 6,600 is too long (it is easy reading though with bullet points and lots of images)Lawren

Top Of The Cherry Tree

I found what I thought was a good low-hanging keyword.Wrote a shortish post and published it.Less than 3 hours later I am in position #1 on page 1 of Google. I think the training works - let's hope any readers enjoy my post enough to click through to checkout.Now for the next oneEDIT: Checked on Jaaxy and it is number one across all three platforms - Bing, Yahoo and Google.Long may it last

A First For Me

Ranked and Sales Within MinutesI've never had the opportunity to put any success posts up but what just happened to me is freakish.First of all the time right now, here in New Zealand is 11.25 pm.At about 10.45 pm (guessing as I didn't actually make a note of the time) I notified google and Bing of my latest post and requested indexing.At 11.14 I called it a day and as the last item for the night I checked my Amazon stats.I have 4 sales off the new page! Now wide awake I checked with Jaaxy and

Google Only Knows What We Tell It!

And in this particular instance "we" is all website builders, that's you, me, all WAers and a big chunk of the rest of the world.The "Google It" CryWe've all heard it and all said it - "Google it!", because Googles supposedly knows everything and buried in the archives somewhere is the correct answer or answers to whatever you are looking for.But is it the right answer?Well I am here to tell you it isn't (always) and maybe even seldom is, but don't blame Google. They're working on; it all the t

"Real Time" in Google Analytics .

Quick and fun poll.What is the maximum number of visitors you've seen on your site in Google Anlytics in "Real Time"?Oh I long for the days I can log on and consisitently see a lot of visitors on there.I think my record is 4 ... pretty bleak I know (but I am working on it!)So what is your highest number in "Real Time"?
