2015 is looking good for all of us Calvin, don't you think.

Don't stress over your review. I say publish now and come back as you evolve your comfortable writing style.
You could maybe add some links as examples of how people can make websites about their interests.
Nathaniel has some great stuff you could share in your review.

Go well from me.

I should left it published, sleep it over for a night, you can adjust it anytime, greetings Loes

I suggest.. leave it! That's a great review. Just add a few more pics/images if you can, and I think your audience is going to love it. I know I do.

Hi Calvin! Well, that's not an easy audience to connect with, so don't be so hard on yourself. Awesome idea though. I'm having brain block the past few days myself, I think part of it is the business of the holidays. You can always go back and edit it later, that's the beauty here. I just read your 'getting started' page and think it's terrific! I would just leave the review for a few days and go back later...save it as draft and work on something else until you're ready to publish it. Happy New Year Calvin! All the best to your success!

Hey guys! Thanks for all your feedback. I'll just not worry about it for now and focus instead of getting through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Best of luck to you all! :)

I, myself, keep an average of 400-1000 words.
When I read a post, and it is over 1000 words, it must be a hell of a post to keep my attention:)

Hi Calvin, how're you doin'?
Jay did a live Video Class called 4 Seasons of Keyword Research which explains how and why some posts are short, some medium, some long. Check it out.
Go well from Janelle.

I would not make a point of writing 2000 word posts all the time (just my opinion). It is hard to keep your reader's attention for that long of an article.

I also would not worry so much about the word count, but instead, think about how my post is clearly communicating what I wanted it to. If it is too short, I probably didn't cover the topic well enough. Having someone else read it and getting another opinion always helps and gives you an idea if you need to write more to be effective, as well.

If short posts were good for SEO, people could churn out crappy little 200 word article all day long. (Like in the old days).

Calvin Konichiwa. Your gut is telling you that your work is incomplete...not wrong.
Along in the course we will learn about ' child pages' , 'parent pages' , ' categories', and probably other menu stuff.
For now...your website is navigable( I checked it), relative and informative. It's good. You are going to need to include some images.
Work along with the training.
I found it helpful to read ahead (just read) a few lessons, just to get my bearings.
Go well from J.

no difference between page or post, it's up to you.

I agree with Carson. I occasionally add quotes to my site but I always insert/add the quote to an image to avoid the duplicate content issue. That way search engines do not see the text. ~Jude

Hi Calvin,

Keep in mind that a quote page is going to be 100% duplicate content and this could negatively affect your rankings. Your audience is looking for your opinions, your quotes, and your thoughts. I'm not sure how a quote page would benefit your site. It might be "neat", but that's not going to improve your business, rankings, or overall perception.

Rather than your visitors reading quotes, I would much rather have them reading helpful and relevant content that they were searching for. I think a quote page is a distraction, duplicate content, and something that will be of little value to the overall performance of your site.

Carson

I think it's a fine idea. As you incorporate them into other posts, you can link back to categories of similar quotes. Just be sure to have some imagery there as well, it will help readers recall what they've discovered. Great idea!
