Two tags are required before a blog post can be published. I tagged two names of co-members. I wonder what happened after that. Is it like that of Facebook? Could someone tagge

Hi - the tags are not meant to be the names of members. They should be words related to the subject of your blog. For example, if your blog was about your family, your tags could be father, mother, brother etc.

Nothing happens when you tag someone. They are not notified, it is not like Facebook or Twitter.

That is a big help. Thank you very much. It settles the question bothering me. I wonder why those names were accepted in the process.

And they are not required before a blog post can be published either, as Benjamin50 asks in his question, meaning that you do not have to add tags if you don't want to.

I tried to ignore putting in the tag. The result was that I could not publish. Even if I tap the “publish” button, it always showed the message that I tag at least 2. When I have tagged the two names (which should have been words related to my question), it was only then that the “publish” button functioned. Thanks for joining the discussion, Simon.

Hi Benjamin50
I have a few published posts on my site that do not have tags on them so you do not have to add them if you do not want to. I would not know why your site is insisting that you need to add tags.

Are you referring to your site as the website itself, the one conected to google? What I am referring to is the blog post within our WA community, like this one we are writing on now.

There are several blog topics we encounter in our community. Some are great. Others not so great. What do you think is the most useful blog topic?

I blog about things I have found helpful or useful in the hope that others might find it useful to learn about it too.

I agree. Thanks for the info.

pretty much ditto what Heidi said... ;)

Agreed. Thanks.

I was informed by Kyle that my website was indexed. I read from other members that their post or their review or their blog was indexed. Are there any differences among them?</

Good job. Keep up the good work

Thanks for dropping by. Have a nice day!

Congratulations! Your website is moving forward!

Thank you. I appreciate your time for dropping by. Have a nice day!

That's terrific Benjamin. Your first step in being visible on Google.

As others said. Each post you write will be looked at by Google to be indexed, so that hopefully you can end up on page one and get lots of organic traffic.

Wishing you more success

Lily 😊

Thank you for the info. Have a nice day!

Congratulations, Benjamin! That's great to hear! Keep up the good work!

Charlotte

Thank you very much.

Well done Benjamin!

Like Philip and Heidi said, each individual post or page gets indexed on its own.

As your site matures, the faster each will index. (generally speaking)

congratulations on getting indexed!
cheers!
jeff

Thanks for sharing your ideas. You did give time to satisfy my query. I appreciate it much. Cheers!

Hey Benjamin,

Your website is your house. Your posts are your rooms to invite guests to read a while.

Post or article or blog,, or reviews = synonyms but varying content types, are basically the same in essence.

It is content and each post is like a page in your book (your website.) It houses all of your words.

So, your website is where people come to read your words. Your reviews, posts, blogs etc are pages in your book, or furniture in your house, that attract guests to stay a while and read.

I hope that explains it adequately enough Benjamin.

I appreciate so much your explanation. You are a true helper to your colleagues. Now I know. Thanks a lot! To your continuing success, Cheers! —Benjie

My pleasure Benjie :-) .

I made a comment to a certain blog post. I was surprised to see that it was in another’s blog post. I tried to delete it but I cannot. I copied and pasted it to my intend

Oh no! How unfortunate. I'd like to know that myself for future reference.

Charlotte

We now have the solution given by our friend, Jeff. Kindly look into his answer below.

You can ask owner of website only

Thank you. It was a blog in our community, just like this one we are writing on. I requested the owner of the blog but he can not delete it also. He just left it that way.

We now have the solution given by our friend, Jeff. You may look into his answer below.

If it is here you can delete

Hey Ben...

Is it a comment on a blog here at WA?
If so, there is a tiny, tiny light gray arrow in the top right corner of your comment. If you click on that, a small drop down menu will give you the option of editing or deleting your comment.

I do also agree with Heidi and Vitaliy regarding comments on someone's website. Once the comment has been approved/accepted by the website owner, the owner will have to delete it.

Hopefully our comments help out.
Have a great rest of your day Ben!

jeff

You are great! I saw your tiny light gray arrow and tap it. There it was saying, “delete comment” and “report spam”. Fantastic! Now I know.

Thank you so much, Jeff. Cheers!

Thank you Ben. Glad to help. ;)

If you posted on someone else's website, this is not possible unless the site owner erases it themselves Benjamin.

A friend said he just finished level 2. I asked him the question above. He can not give an answer as he said he has no knowledge of Affiliate Bootcamp.

Looks like you got a good answer from Diane, as usual.

Hi - there are 2 separate training courses, with their own different lessons.

The Online Entrepreneur is for those who are building their website based upon a niche subject of their own choosing and wish to promote products from the likes of Amazon.

The Affiliate Bootcamp is for those who want to write about the money-making online niche and specifically to promote WA.

You can do whichever one you want, but it is not recommended to do both at the same time.

I appreciate your help. You clarified thoughts in my mind. Now I understand. Thank you very much. Nice to have members who are ready to help. To your continuing success! Regards.

Your friend is right. They are two separate courses. Level 2 is for the online certification course which you are currently enrolled in. Phase 2 will be for the boot camp
If you are interested in the boot camp, you may let the management know.
Depending on your depth of knowledge in Affiliate Marketing, I would suggest you finish your certification course before diving into the boot camp course.

Thank you very much. I am on the boot camp training. Now I know the difference. Great to have colleagues who help.
. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. I am grateful that my little advice helped you sort out the differences
