I wanted to use keyword search but it seems to of been replaced with Keyword Lists. Has keyword search been removed?

Kyle announced it is supplanted with Jaaxy!

Hi Craig. I now have the link. Thank you

I was just looking for it! Glad you found it.

Thanks Craig. Do you have the link for the instructions that Kyle posted

It is my understanding that they made the choice to phase it out because Jaaxy is a much better keyword tool. Kyle posted some instructions if you need to save your keyword lists from the old keyword tool before it is completely gone.

Does anybody know why keyword search has been moved?

Do I need to be receiving lots of organic traffic before I start a PPC campaign. I have read in various places that PPC should only be started when receiving organic traffic b

Organic traffic is really just a bonus if you're doing traffic arbitrage of buying clicks and paying less in cost than what you're receiving from the PPC traffic. You don't have to have any organic traffic to run a successful PPC campaign.

If you're using Adsense on your site, then it's usually the opposite

Thanks for your response Brad, that's really helpful.

if you are promoting wealthy affiliate it doesn't matter, you don't need organic traffic. In fact, you never need organic traffic.
To have a successful PPC campaign you need three thing
An offer that has a proven conversion record ( or it costs you more to advertise than you get back.)
Sales funnel or successful delivery method.
People who want to buy the offer.

To go a little further the most successful pay per click campaigns are the ones you tweak until you get the best return on investment (ROI).

I very rarely use organic traffic it's far too slow for me you should get your first sale in about 12 hours if you don't rethink your campaign

Thank you so much for your reply. That's exactly what I needed to know.

This happened to me once when I switched themes. I've also noticed it when I used cut & paste when adding content. The workaround for cut and paste is to 'paste as plain text'.

Thank you for your response

Thanks for the link. This looks like it will be very helpful

No probs Daniel and hope you get it sorted out.

What is the difference between a Pinterest business account and a normal account and what type of account should I have for promoting wealthy affiliate ?

Ivecjust started with a normal account as I dare say upgrading to a business account will then incur costs?

Maybe I should cancel my account and start again. Ok thanks for the reply

Is it normal that after writing posts for 7 months that none of them have been ranked? A majority of what I have been writing is nowhere to be seen in the search engines. Does

I've looked through your website, and there are a couple of reasons why you've not had much success yet with your rankings.

Firstly, you're in the "Make Money Online" niche (same as mine) and it's one of the toughest out there. So it will require more articles. Also, aim for keywords with the lowest amount of competition possible.

Secondly, You haven't published enough product reviews. You'll find with reviews, that they will send the most traffic to your site combined.

You've produced a lot of quality content, so you're on the right track. Now start focusing on LOTS of product reviews (keeping affiliate links to a minimal and also linking to your WA review post).

I don't think there are any technical glitches with your site. It's just lacking reviews.

With the amount of content you already have and your site at 70% trust, it will be easier to get your reviews ranked and some traffic flowing. :)

In addition, I would probably recommend cutting back on the debt articles because you're kinda combining 2 different niches together.

Focus more on the 'starting an online business/making money online' side of things.

I don't know if you've also noticed, but in some of your post snippets within your blog roll, there are foreign characters such as "Â" that shouldn't be there.

If the characters can't be removed, I would maybe suggest changing your template theme to fix the problem.

Hi Neil. Thanks for your detailed response and will take your advice on board

You're welcome!

Thanks for asking the question, gave me great information :)

When you look at Google Analytics are you getting any traffic from the search engines?

Hi Thomas. I am getting Some traffic but very little.

I checked your latest post, it appears the targeted keyword is "what is a debt relief order".

The qsr=147 is way too high. But this is a false keyword because the stop words are most likely ignored by search engines. So in fact, the true keyword is only the core part "debt relief order" with qsr=251. This is hopeless.

If you want to rank, take qsr at least 10 times smaller.

The same is in the second post "beginners guide to SEO" is with qsr=370. Perhaps you aimed at "a beginners guide to seo" but here again you have a stop word and this is pointless although qsr=97.

See more about stop words here

These qsr numbers are reasonable. Kyle recommends under 300. I have keywords that have qsr 475 that are ranked, may not be a very high ranking but ranked non the less. I believe this goes deeper than just keywords. After months of writing there should at least be a trickle of results. I mean my privacy policy page was the first page on my website that was indexed. Not exactly sure what you mean by stop words though. Would you explain this please I'd like to know.

Good luck with such keywords.

You mix indexed and ranked.

Do you check ranking correctly? Incognito? Nobody can rank with such a qsr.

Again I believe this goes deeper than keywords. Getting ranked and getting indexed are two different things. Top rank is where you want to be but you have to get indexed in order to get to those rankings. I may be wrong but I feel as if he should at minimal one page if not ranking at least indexed having been writing and publishing for 7 months.

My point. Getting indexed and getting ranked are different. He should at least have pages indexed. And this is where I bounce. I am still in learning stage myself and you may be right but I would still suggest a support ticket just to be safe. Again getting ranked and getting indexed are different. With as much writing that's been done he should at very least be indexed. Sorry I couldn't be more help friends good luck and I hope you get an answer to your problem soon.

Hi. Thanks for the advice as I didn't know that. However, the one post that has ranked begins with the word what and is on page 3. So should you always avoid stop words or do they sometimes rank, as they have done in this case?

I cannot answer this with certainty. With a bit of luck you can surely rank with anything. I would not rely on keywords based on stop words. I learned this from my own bad experience, with qsr=0 and based on such stop words, and yet I could not rank well.

More critical is perhaps the high qsr. My own rule is to aim at qsr below 30, so now more than half of my 500 posts are on the top page in Google.

Hey Daniel,

Have you activated your Google Analytics?

Hi Trish. Yes I have activated Google Analytics

This is not normal at all. I would definitely submit a site support ticket and make sure there is nothing wrong internally.

Thank you for your response. I will contact site support.

Support cannot help with this, they deal with technical things only.

Since he has been writing 7 months and nothing is getting indexed it may be a technical thing. After 7 months of writing you should have at Rock bottom 1 page indexed.

Do you have a sitemap and follow Yoast or All in One seo when writing?

I follow all in one Seo. I have followed Kyles advice and aimed for keywords with low competition. It's a bit deflating

No that's not normal. Something is wrong.

Unless you're not following any seo onpage guidelines.

I have seen instances when writing for highly competive keywords that my posts don't get ranked.

I make sure keywords have low competition and are in the first paragraph and then just wright natural. Posts are over 1000 words and I constantly update.

If you tell me what your site is, I might be able to identify the problem.
