I signed up last year with the yearly Premium Plus BF offer.. and my renewal date is in the coming days... I was going to resign on the BF offer coming but it looks like my mem

It's the best bang for your buck... when I first started, I missed that first one because I was on the fence... but then another opportunity came and I jumped on in. I would like to believe that you have the best offer and you would be grandfathered if there were any changes. It makes sense the price goes up not down. The value here is unmatched. The price we pay is better than what's out there w/o community and training.

When it comes closer to Black Friday Kyle will let us know what deals they have.
Also whatever price you are paying now for membership will be the same unless you take any offers if they have anything this Black Friday for a better deal.
We will know more in a few days before the Black Friday is mentioned by Kyle not before.

Thanks Andre... much appreciated my friend... and nice to hear from you :)

Chris

Most welcome Chris and good to hear from you too.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and week ahead.

Andre

You too my friend!

Cheers Chris will be heading off to bed soon 10.40 pm Sunday here.

Take care

Andre

You are locked in at your current member price, if you took the Black Friday deal last year that is what you will pay at renewal.

Yes of course... I am grandfathered in at that price... this is why I am asking if the pricing this year for the Black Friday offer will be the same.. or are more discounts being applied?

Do you know or have you heard something?

Thanks

Chris

Generally it will be around the same price I have never seen it drop one year to the next

OK great.. thanks for letting me know.. I appreciate it!

Chris

Hi Chris,

Kyle will let us know about any upcoming Black Friday deals soon.

Maxine

Thanks Maxine

No problem, Chris.

Unfortunately I cannot add images to questions so need to try and explain the best I can

First off.. I will not spam my site link here... rules... but it is on my WA pro

Google has toyed with us all during this update.

I have seen a comment by Jay in regards to him ending the relationship with Google.

I jumped on the idea and began indexing to Bing instead of Google and the result was an increase in traffic and impressions.

Just an idea, but here is some info you can read.

I no longer worry with GSC

Michael

You can check in Jaaxy for your ranking as a plus member it shows you the first 20 pages. just remember that with all the HCU from Google they have screwed many site owners. Some have shown small signs of increase after the August update but lately now many are losing some of these increases but once more due to Google doing some more changes. Google still hasn't got it right as usual

Thanks mate.. I will take some solace in what you say lol... just difficult to see no movement sometimes when we work hard at something

Yes... got ya Abie... thanks

Here you can see when the March hit... it was gradually improving then boom.. then never recovered..

You can do this in the comments section by clicking the clip and attaching screenshots.

Please keep us updated on your progress here, Chris!

I'll see what happens abie yeah... I'll let you know

Can't say I have had that,but the community will certainly help you out with out doubt

Hi Chris

You can change SEO plugins and you will not lose the basic SEO optimizations like internal links, image alt text, etc.

Take note of your general settings in SEO Framework and duplicate those in the new plugin.

Disable, but don’t delete SEO Framework until you have everything working properly with the replacement plugin.

Alternatively, you can ask Site Support to make you a staging site to test out new SEO plugins to see which one you prefer and disable SEO Framework on your original site until you get it sorted. This will not affect the way your real site functions.

Frank

Good advice Frank... Thanks for your input my friend.. I appreciate it

Yes I was advised this from Site Support

Hi Abie

Yeah, if he disables it and that solves the problem then he could try to reinstall it. Also, check for a conflict with another plugin or code in the theme he is using.

It may ultimately come down to a process of elimination.

You’re welcome, Chris. 😎

Yeah only the one SEO plugin abie

That's very strange.

There more to the story, tell us!

Abie

More annoying than Strange Abie :/

So I don't think it will be a problem. I think most people I know use RankMath or Yoast. I would deactivate the plugin and install one of those.

Thanks sir.. but do i need to go back through all of my pages and posts and rewrite all the titles, descriptions, social images etc? I have a lot of pages lol

I guess I do. I have never used SEO Framework. Only Yoast and RankMath and have never seen anything like this. I know SEO Framework is also well regarded.

Another thing to try is just disable the plugin and see if the problem goes away.

I seem to be having issues with my Site Kit.. When I go to the site kit dashboard or the Site Kit setting the screen is simply blank... last week it gave me some red warning s

I reached out to site support.. and they resolved the issue... thanks for getting back to me all of you... just been very busy and did not have time to get back to you all at the time..

Many thanks again!

Chris

I'd head to site support for a resolution.

Help tab top menu.

Abie

Hi - several people had problems a couple of weeks ago, and I believe that Site Support had to move them to another server.

So, that's probably the best option, to contact Site Support.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry about the situation, because I know that such a situation could be frustrating.

I would have suggested you try the site kit reset, but since you said you did that earlier and now you have nothing.

I don't know if this would help.

Do you have a VPN on? When I have mine on I get all kinds of weird errors with site kit, analytics etc

When I am trying to sign in I keep getting a red warning message saying they are experiencing a Server error.. this has been the same for 48 hours when trying to get in...
<

I just logged in without an issue. Silly question and maybe it's been already mentioned but have you tried clearing your cache?

Yeah I tried that.. still the same thing happening

Hmm OK, I'm sorry I'm not sure what else it could be.

Hey Chris,

As I write this I am logged into 3 different Reddit accounts via 3 different browsers, hahaha!! I had to be different.

Best thing to try is to open an incognito tab and attempt to login from there.

Admittedly, the message you're receving was quite common in Septmber/October 2023 when Reddit received a massive boost in authority, search appearance, and rankings (when you're getting close to 1 Billion visitors per month you can expect certain server issues every now and then), but I've not seen it recently.

As I say, check via an incognito tab first, if that works, then clear your browsing history on your computer.

The only other thing I can think of is your location, but I don't see that as an issue.

Partha

Yeah thanks Partha.. Even in an Incognito window I get the same message... We Had A Server Error... weird

Just read about this on Reddit (I would share the link here, but you probably won't be able to read it, LOL).

But, there's been quite a few people saying the same, but all have found that it eventually resolves itself, usually somewhere between 2-7 days.

My guess, as Reddit has pretty much owned the rankings for the last 8 months they get massive spikes in traffic, so this will cause server outages every now and then.

The only other thing you could try is to open a new Reddit account (via a different email address<---- I know most people know I do things by scale, but I have over 100 Reddits accounts, so no problem opening new ones), and then seeing if you're getting the same message.

If so, this would be a location-based thing, and unfortunately you'll just have to wait it out.

But, as I say, I've found about 20 threads all from the last 3 months, so at a guess this will be the massive amount of traffic that Reddit has been getting recently!!

Ok thank you.. I will give it a few days and see if it sorts itself out... I appreciate your advice my friend!

Chris

It works fine for me. I just signed in, and it's no problem. I hope yours will work shortly.

Ok thanks for letting me know :)

I don't use Reddit but I just went into reddit.com with no problem. It came up fast and clean.

ok thanks Phil... maybe an issue on my side then!!

Much appreciated
