Website Development & Programming

Hi everyone,

Years ago I bought a domain that is impersonal and may be misleading as to what my website is about. Back then I wasn't ready to show my face, nor did I un

Ewa,
Did you check out Pribs AKA Ian's classes on branding ~ July 5 - August 26, all were on Tuesdays.
I felt very privileged to have been able to learn from these awesome classes, from a teacher who built branding in the "real " world before coming to WA. You might find his unique point of view helps with your situation.

All of the answers here have merit! Writing great content, Mel would help with a look at it. Abie has great tips, and Ian is a super teacher on branding!
Plus Jay's 80 posts that are informational/educational, 10 are reviews, 10 are Best of's, Maybe you are wanting to upgrade to Premium Plus at black Friday? Up to you, but I'm glad that I did for neuroplasticity, the New City in my future.

Ewa, since you don't have your website listed on your WA profile you could email me the URL and I would be happy to look over your site.

Nowadays domains are not so affected by SEO vs writing quality rich content with good choice of keywords, latter of which would rank you in the search engines.

Also it can be related or not, for example Apple dot com doesn't sell apples vs tech gear.

Other info include

You can use leandomainsearch dot com, you input a word and it gives you another

And a godaddy valuation tool to find a memorable name.

I'd also use this site
http://namecheckr.com
to check if the name is also available on social media platforms.

I would always go for a dot com domain name vs dot net or dot org as people's perceptions when they start typing they would typically assume it is a dot com. And make sure it is spelled correctly as it cannot be edited once purchased.

I would not include dashes and check if the domain is copyrighted, trademarked and ' or registered to an established business.

You may go ahead with what you have and rebrand at a later time. Entirely up to you. However rebranding often occurs even with big corporations.

Great stuff Ms. Abie!

Keyword, Niche and Market Research

DianeScorpio hit it on the head. You need a lot more content, and need to feed it routinely. Think of each new post or page as a new door to your site, that can potentially lead to the other pages also being read and appreciated.

I also suggest if you haven't reading a blog here at WA by ParthaB. He has excellent tutorials on his blog on researching keywords to give you the edge on Google search.

Another way that is not focused on as much here, but there are still classes on it is doing PPC advertising. If you decide as you flesh your site out more to go this route you will definitely want to create a little giveaway (something digital) to collect emails so as you get subscribers you can shoot them a quick email/newsletter with a link to the new post(s) to also increase your visitors, and these visitors will be more qualified since they already came to you before and were willing to receive your emails.

Hi - 17 posts in 15 months is not enough to attract Google's attention and show that you are an authority on your niche subject.

It looks as though you wrote 5 or 6 posts in July/August last year and then nothing until December/January, when you wrote 3 or 4 more.

And then a further 6 or so from June to September this year.

Unfortunately, content marketing is not something you can pick up and put down; it's a continuous process.

There is no specific number of posts necessary for success or a particular number you should be writing per week.

However, for the best results, you need to write as much content as possible in the early stages until you reach around 40 posts, and then you can slow down.

Each time you stop and do nothing for several months, with so few posts anyway, you will not convince Google that your content is worthy of being on page 1.

And that's how you attract traffic - by writing content that more fully answers the topic than the posts already on page 1.





All very true DianeScorpio, thanks for the comment

jsut a quick look at your site ... i think i know what you are aiming at ...
but from the above the fold the immediate word that jumps out is agency...so from that i assumed you were targeting agencies....not for me then....
but i scrolled down and read more ... a curated article site...i have probably read most if this already...
i couldn't see what you bring to the table that is new....
you may think this is completely negative, but it's not ...
you have lived with the site and probably tweaked it a bit at a time until we now see the end result...it means a lot to you....
well your job is to communicate that to me...on first glance..or i am gone...
take a step back and really look and read your above the fold...for two seconds...and tell me exactly what it means...then write that down as hte heading and do the same again...
now do you need to explain to me what the site is about or is it written there......

thank you Feigner, I will first focus on creating more content more consistently but my next priority will be to asses if my home page summarizes properly what the website is about.

Not enough content it seems. Yes, it takes time and consistent, quality content to build our online businesses.

Mel

I appreciate your input. If creating more content is the solution to my problem, that's good news - I've finally got the time to write regularly.

Hi, I recently worked with the Comments tool here at WA and all my replies to people's comments show as admin on my page. I have two websites and probably requested comments as

I partially solved the problem. I changed the email address on WordPress dashboard to the one associated with the gravatar I want. I still show as an admin in my reply, I can change it manually in the dashboard but is there a way to reply to people's comments via Comments tool at WA as a user other than admin?

Yes, create another user. Here is the link to that lesson.

Hello!

I have created pages and category pages in my menu. I wanted to have category pages to have the relevant posts appear under these pages as a mini blog roll. That

It's possible, but not without a lot of custom programming to your theme, or using a theme builder that allows this type of customization. I haven't tried do do this before, so it's not something I can answer off the top of my head, but I'll put in on my list to research and do training for (don't wait on me though).

Thanks so much. Shame it's not that simple although at some point while I was playing around I thought I managed to do this. I had the intro text on top and a thumbnail for a related post below. I lost it though, no idea how, or maybe it was just some preview version.. i'll keep on playing around and maybe I get lucky.
