Search Engine Optimization

I am curious if this will ever be an option again? I am fortunate to have been grandfathered in with 50 available sites. But if I delve into local SEO and it takes off, I might

When the time comes, they can contact the co-founders Kyle and Carson and discuss their options.

Thanks for that. I thought I had seen a 4th membership level in the past that offered more sites, but I may have been dreaming..lol.
Thanks and Have a Great Day!

That came with a dedicated server, but it has now been omitted.

Ahh, yes I do remember the dedicated server being part of the package.

No problem, Chuck :)

Like how to create a sig file or an address book? Or is it a what you see is what you get?

Thanks and Have a Great Day!

Hey Chuck,

What email software are you using to forward your domain email addresses to?

If you use gmail, then you can setup your domain email to be used properly inside your gmail account. Here's a video to show you how: Once you have done that, you can easily setup a signature. Here are some informative Google pages to help you:

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/8395?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop

Google searching for how to setup an address book you can find more help from Google.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank You!

The purpose of the email for your domain name is to give your website visitors a place to contact your business. It is not meant to be a management of your contact list.

So you set it up and what you see is what you get.

Resource

That's what you see inside your webmail.

If limited you may want to do a forward instead.

Thanks Abie,

Sure, I check settings I have included a screenshot.

I remember reading awhile back that the training was going to be updated when all of this new stuff was introduced. I would like to start my training over and I am waiting for

Congrats on going Premium+ Chuck! Was there something specific about the training which was not updated when you went through it? It depends on when you last did it, but it's frequently updated.

Of course, now there's the whole new layout for Wealthy Affiliate, so if you start right now, the training modules will probably reflect the old layout still. I'm not sure how fast Kyle's getting new videos up. The functions of Wealthy Affiliate are still the same, but now the menu is on top, so you may have to experiment navigating to find certain things.

Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find something!

Hello Nathaniell,
Nothing specific at all. Honestly I have been inactive for the last couple of months and it has been awhile since I looked at the training. I know when I was going through it some of the videos were out of date and didn't apply to some things (No I don't have specifics and yes I know the way everything changes it would be just about impossible to keep up.) I do remember reading something from Kyle awhile going saying the training was going to be updated and was just wondering what the time frame on that was. It does look like that has started to happen.
Thanks and Have a Great Day!

I know with the new look of WA a bunch of stuff was updated. Hopefully the Google+ training is finally gone LOL. There will always be a couple things which are "out of date" just because platforms update their stuff every couple of months, so it's hard to keep up with exactly everything.

The main thing to look at is if the processes still work, e.g. WordPress from 6 years ago and WordPress from today work pretty much the same.

If there's something you find that's outdated though, definitely let Kyle know. He's always open to updated and remaking stuff when it's no longer relevant.

I know ...
Training is being updated as we go along.

hey hi Chuck ...

Kyle has been updating the training on a rolling basis ...

suggest you get rolling whenever you'd like to get learning and building on your on line biz ....

all the best ... :)

Hey Chuck,

Kyle has been updating the training all along. So, if you wish to take the training over again, go ahead now.

Am sure you'll find some lessons have been updated since you went through the Online Entrepreneur Certification.

There are brand new lessons available for WA members who sign up for the Premium Plus.

Thank You...I have upgraded to Premium Plus

Well done, Chuck--good to see you back!

Jeff

Excellent, then click on "Classes" in the top navigation or menu bar, to find the NEW PP+ classes Chuck.

Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

Hello All,

I am starting to get pretty consistent with publishing 1000+ word count posts twice a week. My question for you...Will adding shorter word count posts hurt me

Low word count posts won't "hurt" your site, but it might not help you. If you're publishing just 500 words on a topic, the topic needs to either be expanded into something larger (include more relevant information), or it should be merged into another topic.

For most topics, you should be able to get at least 1000 words. In fact, I find it hard to write less than 1k on a topic.

I have a page on my travel site that ranks well with about 600 words that ranks in top 10 for over a dozen search terms with over 1000 such volume per month.

If the keyword competition is low you will still rank on Google. The higher the competition, the more comprehensive your writing needs to be.

Chris

I read in another post that having shorter posts won't hurt, and actually throwing in some shorter posts throughout your site shows flexibility in natural writing versus a rigid 1,000 words that have been forced.

Like others on here have said, as long as the writing is of good quality, the word count should not hurt.

I think as long as your adding word count posts even just a little bit you add up,It will give you credits all the time. And it will really take effect .

Hi Chuck
I don't know the answer for sure but I would be tempted to consider writing a single after action post collating them all together under separate headings and then link to each one separately using the "a" tag. I have a book review post which brings together different themes and then short reviews of each book with Amazon affiliate links. That way I keep all the affiliate links in one post and out of the other posts. The key point is being able to link to anywhere in that post directly from another post.
But as I say someone else may have a better answer on your main question.
Best regards
Andy
