I have not personally but, please read this:

Thanks. I ran their scan and naturally there were several erroneous listings which I didn't understand. When you click the next page they, of course, want money so I just left the site. I noticed an email from them which makes sense, but I deleted it right away. Now here's the kicker - they actually called me before I even had a chance to delete the email. That's ridiculous. Talk about hungry. He wasn't terribly pushy and I got him off the phone fast enough but fair warning anyone if you run their "faux" scan they have your number. I agree it's bogus. I am just as hungry as everyone else but I won't cheat people to put food on the table.

WA Affiliate Program
Updated

Or can I speak with them one on one and direct them with a link to the sign up page and still receive credit?

No you do not need a WA promotional site.

Just click on where it says "$ WA Affiliate Program" in the left side menu under "Affiliate Program" and at the top of the page you will see your affiliate link. Just share that link with others.

Thank you!

Just as long as you give them your affiliate link to WA it will be fine.

OK Cool - Thanks Tommy. I wanted to do a site at some point I just have other priorities and I have someone maybe interested.

I see several blogs out there but most of them have to do with pointing the domain to WA and that is done already. I purchased a new domain ie: carolannsnaturalpets.com and when

Your domain name from namecheap should have showed up within minutes if you did it right. Here is a training video I created.

You will need to create a website for your new domain name and then redirect it if I am not mistaken. Because before a domain name can show on the net it has to be published.

Hi Tommy - sorry I was out most of the day. Murphaloid actually pointed me where I needed to go and after a couple tries I got it to work. I'm not going to build anything on that new domain (yet) I just want it to go directly to the affiliate site for now. Thank you for responding ;)

I'm not completely clear on what you're trying to achieve Carol Ann. it's not possible to have a url with .com in it twice!

You can have it so that when people type in 'carolannsnaturalpets.com' it automatically redirects them to 'lifesabundance.com'. Is that what you mean?

yes

Ok, the best bet I think is to go to the admin panel of whoever carolannsnaturalpets.com is registered with, and there should be some options in there to redirect it to 'lifesabundance.com'. There is a tutorial here:
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/385/77/how-do-i-set-up-url-forwarding-for-a-domain

OK thank you!

I am going to try to post a training later today on how to do this once I test the results. Thank you for your help Murphaloid!

I am getting read to build a second website. The niche is somewhat the same as the first ie: all natural products but for humans not animals and my domain is carolannsusacorner.

Looks like your covered

Carol, you can have a sub-domain. That is an option for another site.

Isn't that sort of what I asked/am doing? Now I'm really confused. Did Kyle do a tutorial on this? Do you know?

I haven't seen any training here on creating a sub-domain, but if you want to add one, then the simplest way is:
Websites & Hosting > Domains (tab) > Add Subdomains (tab).
Then when you add the sub-domain, you add a prefix to your domain name, so mydomain.com becomes something like sub.mydomain.com
The Sub-Domain will be a completely separate site to the parent domain, so you can have a completely different theme if you like, or run with the same theme. You can use it for translating into another language too, EG. mydomain.com in english, de.mydomain.com in German, es.mydomain.com in Spanish, it.mydomain.com in Italian etc

Thanks for the tip! It's a bit off the track of what I originally had in mind but I think I can make it work I just need to think it through. ;)

So you can only have one website for every domain that you possess, that's just the way it works. It would kind of be strange to have 2 in one domain, that would kind of confuse the people that are seeing your site, so it would not be very helpful to do that. So I would say if you want to make another site, start off with the siterubix domain and once it looks really good then just buy another domain for $11 with Namecheap. Hope this helps Carol :)

Thanks flor - I did have a plan - Natural products -one for pets one for humans - so they would have different content same practical niche. I was confused right along why the site wasn't indexed as www. and then the name instead it was Http// with the domain name. I'm not sure what I will do next now. Unfortunately the real training comes after the name is chosen so it is what it is now.

Yeah, wouldn't stress about it. You'll definitely figure it out :)

You can add letters to your original and buy that one

One website per domain

I don't know what made me think I could have more. I wouldn't have been so vague with the name them. I would have been more direct. C'est La Vie I guess. One more hurdle to overcome. :(

Search Engine Optimization

I've done everything.. I can't find my website out there and I go through all the pages when I pull up the keywords. The only thing I see out there are what I throw out there fr

to see your rankings you need a software program that will check your rankings for each keyword. You may try and open a free Jaxxy account..this does have a site ranking feature inside it.

Or you can try and just do it the old fashioned way....google your keyword and see if your page shows up in the first 10 pages.

As for getting ranked, many things factor into this. keyword density, comments left on your site, links to your pages, how old your domain name is and more.

try and not get too discouraged, getting ranked for keywords does take some time.

Keep building new pages for new keywords, keep learning all you can about SEO, article writing and other stuff and keep the faith.

I promise you that eventually you will start to get ranked. The best thing you can do right now is keep adding content, keep yourself busy improving your site and stay motivated.

It will eventually pay off

Gerald

Thank you. I have a Jaxxy account. I've googled the keywords and my page doesn't even show up in any of the pages let alone the first 10. I have had some traffic (very little) mostly just WA and family and I add content at least 5 days a week. I have a pretty popular niche but it's what I'm passionate about. I thought I would at least appear somewhere by now since posting to Google + is pretty instant.

Jaxxy doesn't find me either but thank you now I know where to go and check anyway.

your pages can also show up in a search engine for a keyword slightly different than from the one you targeted.

what is your website address?, I can go take a look at it if you want

Gerald

my website is carolannsusacorner.com and I've pretty much tried them all lol. Thank you so much for helping me. I even did a copy/paste of my page titles and it still doesn't show up. What does show up is when I do a shout out from Google + to send traffic to my website because of a new post or update. Bizarre how that shows right away

So I tried "carolann pet natural" and 2 of my Google + posts sort to page 1 recipe page on my site does also. Then I tried "carol pet" and my Google + posts are on page 1. Now I don't know if it's bc I am the one searching or not but I did the search that way - just say someone forgets the name of my domain but knows its about natural/pets and me. I changed the name of my pages at one point but not the name of my recipe page after creating it. Could it be that the other pages need more time to index?

Nice site, you may want to break your paragraphs up a bit, they should be no more than 2 to 4 sentences long.

you have alot of amazon products on your site, which I believe requires an affiliate link from amazon.

each link is spidered by google. Google may be seeing your site as an over-hyped affiliate site, from all the affiliate links. even though it is not, google may not see it that way.

try and use a plugin called pretty link. you can download and install it directly from your dashboard.

it will convert affiliate links into URL's embedded with your own domain name. You can even tell pretty links not to allow google to follow your links.

It also has the ability to track hits to each link. You may also try and do a couple of reviews on the products you are recommending.

this way you can do some internal links to your review page, which google likes and it offers more content to your readers

Thanks I'll try some of these suggestions. If you look at my pages I have comments next to several of the links and before them with recommendations. I also have posts with the ingredients of the foods I am recommending and one of them I have a post with a video on how to prepare the foods so I'm not really lacking in that area. I'm almost thinking I have too much going on. My amazon links are affiliate links also :). Most everything on my site has a story if you read what I posted above and below the items.
