Just interested to know how many people utilize the featured image application when publishing a post? I know it is optional, but interested to get a handle on any arguments for
Like Phil said, It gives the visitors a visual image of what your article is about. I use featured images in all my posts.
what causes less work for your visitors - an image or words...
an image can stop a person and then they read the caption ( or in this case the snippet)
a featured image can also help with seo as you add the alt text ( if you can adding hte keyword for the post as the image should be relevant to the post topic)
it can - if you display it - help visitors know that they have navigated to the right place as it gives continuity as they move from blog roll to post including the same image.
it also give visual stimulation to an otherwise boring blog roll of text...
just my thoughts.....

Thanks in advance.
Hi Lee, I think that you've got some great answers here from fellow members already, but I wanted to let you know that submitting your post's url via Google Search Console may help. It won't be instant, but it can expedite the process of getting your new content indexed and regularly crawled.
Log into your Google Search Console, then paste the URL of your post into the URL input at the top that says "inspect". And then inspect the URL, then click on "Request Indexing".
It helps if it is a quality article with a faqs page and the keyword research is spot on
Times vary as the wise Andre (apache1) has pointed out. I composed an article related to this if you are so inclined to check it out. How Google Indexes Your Website in 2025

Where do people tend to put their Affiliate Disclosures on their blog posts? Top, Middle or Bottom?
I put Mine on top of the article. I created a pattern to speed up the process. Added a color background so it stands out.

if you are getting close or ove 30,000 visits per month then you will easily be able to affor upgrading or even moving from wa to another hosting without limits.

You may check the responses on those threads. Raw, Unique, Content Clicks Quick question? what is a a number that you seem to see conversions start to happen? ==
Yup, your Max Monthly Website Visits

If you get more, you can always upgrade your subscription. However, you are responsible for the traffic.

Thanks for your reply, so what would happen to any more than the 30,000 cut off if I did not straight away upgrade, would they not be able to view my content online?

It would be nice to know how people monetize their websites by promoting WA? Is it by just putting some relevant text in their affiliate disclosure? Putting text on their Abou

There’s actually step by step training in hubs that walks you through this. (When creating a hub choose that you want to make money online by promoting WA and you’ll unlock it.)
The key is thinking about what that target audience wanting to make money online would be making searches for. You then create content that’s the answer to those searches. Hubs is great at coming up with topic ideas. “How hard is to build a website?” “How does affiliate marketing work?”… and then of course you have your review articles “Is Platform XYZ a scam or legit?”… It’s no different than creating content for any other niche. You deliver value in a way that’s easy to understand and demonstrate why WA is the vehicle they’re looking for.
Basically just reverse engineer the process that brought you here 👍🏼
Relevant content/traffic => Relevant promotion. It is no different than achieving success in any niche, and converting at a high rate.
First you want to make sure you are attracting an audience that is relevant to the product you are promoting (in this case WA), and once you have that, you want to tie in a promotion of WA, outlining the benefits and value to the audience in a relevant way.
This approach will lead to maximal conversions. :)
I have made a banner and use it, but I also put text links in each article as well. The most important thing, though is to talk to a targeted audience

Yes, I use the featured image. Add the alt text to the image which is good for SEO
