I have 26 comments and responses.
Just keep building your content, SEO'ing, keywording, etc., comments are a by-product and your ranking will keep improving.
I know, it can be weird and kind of frustrating. WA uses this amazingly complex algorithm to judge site health, and sometimes you are in a stop-gap "glitch" (I call it) area.
My main niche site was cooking along when I was starting building it, and was at "Site health is getting better" ... I kept adding content, keywords, getting comments, SEO'ing, and one day my rank was "Site Health Needs Work"! I was like, WTF?!
I thought sure it was a mistake, a glitch on WA's part, and left a comment as such. But I got a reply from Carson saying if that's what it says, that is exactly what it means. I just shrugged, kept on building out the site, and pretty soon it was not only in good health again, but now ranked as "Site Health is Pretty Good".
Go figure, eh? But just keep on keeping on, it's little bumps on the long road.

I ran across this today and wondered if anybody has used it or heard of it.

Thanks. Jim
Thanks for sharing this interesting gadget. Based on the other's opinion, it seems like the "bot" lurking around. Unless, some WA experts will say..go for it...I would. Meantime, I will keep an eye on it. Have a great Monday!
Hey Jim, had a quick scan on youtube. Some people are promoting the heck out of it. From what I can gather, it looks like some sort of follow generating bot. You create a 'faceless' account. The bot generates the followers in your particular targeted niche. Then you monetize in whatever way you can. It sounds like something you could possibly make money with UNTIL, Twitter catches on to it. Like I say I only had a quick scan at it. How much does it cost BTW?
At $19.00 I am not sure that they will fulfill everything that they promise? If you had have said $97.00 I might have been more interested. I would do a little more research on it Jim. See if you can find it on one of the affiliate market places and get some real info on it. Who knows you might even end up promoting it? ;))
I have not heard about this either, but did a quick look up on reviews and found this: Lee Cole review of the WP Tweet Machine plugin basically says it will work, but you need a lot of followers. You may want to check out a few reviews on Youtube
Thanks
Sheila
I did check reviews. I have 174 followers, but I thought this was supposed to get you followers. Jim
I am not quite sure! I really have to listen to the reviews again. I think it would be a great thing to have if it gets more followers and helps run the twitter account.
I tried to look up reviews of this but they are all good and offering bonuses to sign up, lol. Now I do not know about you, but when I see that I get nervous.

I get the following message when I try to see my site map. I have looked everything over and over again looking for a reason.
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Loca
Hi, Everyone.
I have a similar issue with setting up a site map, only mine says error : "no url found" . The url is right there, next to where you copy and paste "sitemap.xml". I followed the directions exactly about 10 times, so now I need to reach out. Any ideas.
Hi Jim, I found this on WA maybe it will help you. AIO Sitemap HELP - XML Parsing Error: no element found
I don't know Jim I hope someone responds with an answer. I went through a verification struggle and am still not sure that my site maps are recognized.
I remember seeing a box concerning element but haven't been back to it for a while. Is your site verified?

I have been told by another training source I was using that WP updates will probably mess with your plugins and post. How true is this and how do you cope with it? Thanks, Jim
updates can conflict with your plugins, the thing is we need to do updates it helps protect our sites I have a practice site that I use to test stuff out in and it helps pinpoint a plugin I need to change
Good question. I get the same message as well,but very skeptical about updating. May be it will be a good idea to backup your content before updating just in case anything happens.
Not normally a problem but sometimes you will see a message on the plugin that it has not been tested with your version of Wordpress. If you are using a plugin that states this you may have a problem. Could you let me know what plugin and what version Wordpress?
Yes this has happened to me... Also I have had situations where the plug-in required the ability to connect to an outside site, and the host (siterubix) does not allow....
It is possible with there are still code writing error in the actual guts of the theme itself
It rarely happens just when having outdated plugin that do not keep in dates but it is a rare case so just to be in the safe side that we choose plugin carefully before installing it =^-^=

This is really stupid on my part for not knowing this. I have been doing this for a year, only a month here and it seems many know how to do this. Did I miss it in a lesson? I
level 2 training will teach about getting your site ranked, it might be covered there, have to still complete to find out.
Shoofar has you covered as far as site traffic is concerned. The best way I've found for seeing where your posts and pages are ranked on Google is using this site: http://whatpageofsearchamion.com/
It is even better than using "incognito" searches (opening up a "private window" that is not prejudiced by your machine's cookies) - I used to use that, but over time I found that even the incognito searches, if done on my own machine, were coming up the same as a regular window search in Google - which is, of course, misleading and inaccurate, slanted in your favor.
What Page of Search Am I On will give you the same results that someone who doesn't know you from Jack, living anywhere in the world, will get.
I was interpreting that google ranking is "a snapshot" taken at the moment when someone clicked your site.
Thanks to you I understand more.
Site may be on better or worse position but no one will click the link so that position won't be counted by google.
But will be displayed by sites mentioned by you and others in this thread ;)
Thanks!
Do you have a google webmaster tools configured ?
If you have:
1. go to your search console
2. go to "search traffic" (this is traffic generated by your site)
3. click "search analytics" and select all the boxes (one of them is your position) - green line. Above the chart google will display also your site average position.
--->image below
I can't find google webmaster tools. I have looked for that before. The other site I am associated taught me nothing about this kind of stuff.
I use the tool below sometimes and it is quite good. Now and then you have to try again later, but it usually works for me.
https://www.searchenginegenie.com/google-rank-checker.html
I used it a few minutes ago and it worked for me.
It's very easy to use and they have many free tools listed in the right sidebar.
I've attached a screenshot of the keyword search I did for one of my recent posts
~Jude
Yes, try at a different time of the day. Free things always cost a bit in time and patience. ~Jude
Try this https://www.google.com.my
Then just put in your the name of your site, it should show you all the pages you are ranked with, I must say, I was presently surprise.
Hey Jim the only stupid question is the one not asked.
Type what you want to check in the search bar at the top of the page.
Then you will get a number of searches to check out.
If it isn't there at the bottom you can find more pages to check.
The Google page has a search bar in the middle of the page.
I have put my blog title in and it takes me right to my page.
A better indication is if you just pick some of the key words.
For example, the whole title showed me at no. 1 but when I just did some key words I dropped to 8 or 10.
I hope this helps,
Marty:)
Try conceptwealt's link. I tried that with both my sites and they ranked
the pages and everything. I don't know what that means in relation to every thing else but at least it's recognized. I think I'll try it again and be less specific.
Marty
As Smite said below, If you have Jaaxy you can use it to check. Just go to the site rank tab on top. Enter your domain.. Enter your keyword and search. If it doesn't come up, don't get worried. If it's an older post, think about reanalyzing it to get it to rank. If it's a newer post.. Just stack some comments and social shares.
Also, there are numerous free app's out there can check for anyone who doesn't have Jaaxy
http://whatpageofsearchamion.com/
You can check on jaaxy. Just go to jaaxy and type in on site rankings and it will show you or tell you not found on 1st 20 pages!
Hope that helps!
Sheila
I just tried and no results found. That's disappointing. Oh well, I'll just keep pounding away. Thanks. Jim
You can type other keywords throughout your pages. Such as other phrases and see if they are ranking!
Maybe that will help!
