You first need to do an outline, then ask for your writing.

Hi Abie. Thanks for your help. I did do the outline, which is sort of hanging out waiting for me. It's like the program thinks I am a starter member, and I used up the 1500 free credits. I did enter the program through the starter entry. Does that matter? I'll go try the browser idea. I am in Brave, and it does cause problems at times. Thanks again.

Okay and let us know how you get on :)

You may also need to empty the browser cache, refresh, and try again. Try the URL in a different browser or mobile device.

Hey Donna,

If you've clearly not run out of credits using AI, then please reach out to Carson: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/triblu/messages/compose/carson as he is the scripting guru.

Be sure to click on Report Content and follow the prompts so that your message arrives in his inbox.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you, Trish. I will do this. It's like the program doesn't recognize my premium plus status. I can't be the only one stumped like this. Thank you.

You cannot add a user to your WA account; it would have the same credentials as you.

For your website.

[domain].com/wp-admin; however, you want to collect their credentials via the site manager.

That is a tricky one and one that can be handled a couple of different ways — you have given you some very good advice and guidance here, but I would also recommend you contacting Kyle and/ or Carson to get advice…let us know if you have any further questions.

Hey Donna,

I recommend that you reach out to Carson in order to be certain how to do this: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/message/carson (be sure to click on Billing & Membership, so that your question will land in Carson's personal WA inbox and NOT back on the platform for members to see.)

But I do believe that you both would need to use your access.

Hope you find this helpful.

Pay Per Click Marketing

Are site links in Google Ads the same as link tracking. I don't want to get it wrong, because something I did in the past caused Google to suspend my account. I'm working on a

Hey Donna,

Here's what ChatGPT had to say:

"Are site links in Google Ads the same as link tracking?

No, they are not the same.

1. Sitelink Extensions in Google Ads: These are additional links in your advertisements that can take potential customers to specific pages on your website. For example, if you're advertising a clothing store, you might have sitelinks that lead to "Men's Apparel," "Women's Apparel," "Sale Items," and so on. They help users navigate to deeper sections of your website directly from the ad.

2. Link Tracking: This refers to the practice of monitoring the activities on a specific link, such as how many times it's clicked, where the clicks are coming from, how long someone stayed on the linked page, etc. Link tracking is often done by using a modified URL (sometimes seen as longer URLs or URLs with UTM parameters). This helps advertisers understand how effective their marketing strategies are.

If your Google Ads account was suspended in the past, it might have been due to violating Google's advertising policies. When using link tracking, make sure the final destination URL (the page users land on) matches what's advertised and doesn't violate Google's policies. Also, avoid using link shorteners or any URL modifications that can be seen as misleading.

Adding photos to Google Ads:

When you want to include images in your Google Ads, they usually refer to display ads or shopping ads. Here's a general guideline:

1. Size: Google Ads support various sizes for display ads. Some common sizes include 300x250, 728x90, 160x600, 300x600, and more. Make sure your images fit the recommended sizes for the ad type you're creating.

2. Format: Google Ads typically support JPEG, PNG, and GIF formats for images. The exact format might depend on the type of ad you're creating.

3. Specifications: Google provides detailed specifications for creating display ads, including file size limits, animation lengths (for GIFs), and more. It's always a good idea to review Google's official ad requirements when creating your ads.

Finally, if you're unsure or concerned about any aspect of your Google Ads, considering reaching out to Google support or consulting with a digital advertising specialist. They can provide insights tailored to your specific situation and help prevent potential issues."

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you, Trish. I should have thought of this tool right off, though I did shortly after. Chat GPT's answers here are more in depth.

I asked the Bing Bot about the photo specs and got a different view but similar, also shorter response. It did leave a lot of links to follow, including a YouTube video on how to do Google ad photos. This I will watch today.

I appreciate your help. And I will be remembering these tools next time, I hope. LOL.

Great question ! I don’t have answer but the responds below from The Abie certainly helped me too .

They're not.

Site Links in Google Ads: They are extensions that allow you to add additional links to your standard Google Ads, guiding users to specific pages on your site.

For instance, if you're advertising a store, your main ad might link to your homepage, but your site link extensions could link to specific product categories.

Thank you for clearing that up, Abie. I appreciate your help. Could you offer a suggestion for a class on link tracking?

Website Development & Programming

Is a landing page designated page or post or neither? And how does one hide it from appearing on menu bar? Is there a class on building a landing page?

Hi Deelilah! From an affiliate marketing perspective, for an individual product or course for example: most make a Landing PAGE on their website. Take it off the menu as Triblu indicates below. Most don’t include headers or footers or a nav menu.

They do include a ton of text content, well most of them. In various text sizes, some in Bold and/or italic, some text in color.

Mostly done on a white background, but sections or boxes with a color background to emphasize pics or data (stats).

Buttons!! Lots of buttons throughout as they scroll to they can decide after getting past a certain point. Sometimes the CTA (Call to action) on the button varies. Sometimes it’s the same. Most buttons then hyperlink (your affiliate link) to the sign up page for the product.

Cool 😎 side note: for fun mix up the CTA text to be more human-like for example “Not quite sure and need more info?”, “Need more time?” And my favorite “Is this a scam?” Anticipate their thoughts! Hyperlink to an internal page (another landing page) that has information or answers their questions and put buttons on those pages to hyperlink to the affiliate page to sign up. Note: don’t make this a rabbit hole - only make it at the most - 1 hop! 😎

Testimonials section for sure!
Not a lot of images.

A countdown typically to encourage decision making- (fomo) fear of missing out psychology.

Note: for testing/analytical purposes- make a separate Landing PAGE for wherever you promote the LINK for it (by copy/paste).

In your website back office- name your pages- Landing page - product name (abbreviated) - site or sm (fb) or use (sm) to include all social media platforms. Of course if you do this you won’t know if your traffic is coming more Fb or instagram. So keep that in mind.

Also note: keep your landing page colors/fonts and style more similar to the affiliate products sign up page - to better flow and make the person trust more in their decision.

Final note 📝
Make it real…make it fun and more human-like! With all of the AI becoming more of a part of our world 🌎 people are noticing and can pick this up quickly! So always add your own uniqueness!

My take on things!
Hope this helps

Hi Holly. Thank you for this. I have been wondering about headers and footers. Between you and Trish, I think I can do it.

Hey Donna,

YOU ASKED
Is a landing page designated page or post or neither?

MY RESPONSE
A landing page can be a designated page, post, or even a section of a page, depending on how you've structured your website.

It's not exclusively tied to either pages or posts, but instead, its primary purpose is to serve as a specific target for marketing campaigns.

YOU ASKED
And how does one hide it from appearing on menu bar?

MY RESPONSE
1.) From your dashboard, go to "Appearance" -> "Menus".
2.) Select the menu from which you want to remove the page.
3.) In the "Menu Structure" on the right, locate the page you want to hide.
4.) Click on the "down arrow" to the right of the page name.
5.) Click on "Remove".
6.) And, be sure to click "Save Menu".

YOU ASKED
Is there a class on building a landing page?

MY RESPONSE
In searching the classes offered on the WA platform, there does not appear to be one in specific.

However, there are many different tutorials on landing pages that other members have created, of which Barry (aka bazboy247) has provided one to you.

To help you navigate and search for others that may interest you, you may find the following video helpful: Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you, Trish. This is perfect. Your explanation and directions under MY RESPONSE are exactly the directions I was looking for.

Nice response, Trish!

Hazel

But... did it help you, Hazel?

Hi Deelilah.

A landing page is exactly that. It's the page visitors will see when they 'land' on your website. Make sure it's a good one to avoid the 'bounce rate'.

It's easy to change - no worries there.

Paul

Paul, I had a question about this previously. So does this mean that the landing page is the same as the home page… the one that has the menus? Thanks.

Hazel

Hi Hazel.

Your landing page is the one you choose - it's easy to do. My landing page for my one site is one I have considered changing. Get stuck into the sales or introduce the company first?

Whatever you decide make it very visual - capture the interest from the get-go.

Hope that helps.

Have a lovely day.

Paul

Edit - your menu bar will be there regardless of the landing page ;-)

Hi Paul. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Got it, Paul. Thanks!

Is it correct protocol to copy someone's avatar in WA in order to add to a testimonial section in their website? If so, how do you do it?

It is courteous to ask members for testimonials. However, you may take screenshots off the platform.

Thank you, Abie. Yes, I like that, asking permission. Right now, I'm delirious with information. Where exactly is that platform?

Hi Donna...I would do the same as what Frank has suggested. Reach out and ask them. Then doing a screenshot would be the easiest way to capture and paste.

Susan

Hi Susan. Thanks for the answer. The screenshot would then be uploaded into the website media as a picture, is that correct?

Hi Donna…you’re very welcome. Yes, you’re right. The screenshot will probably be saved as a jpeg (or image) and then you can upload right into your media library for use on your site.

Thank you, Susan. I think this might be the fastest method. Do you know which page here has testimonials? Maybe I could go to Trust Pilot and do this too. I should update my review there anyway. But time is of the essence with the PPC project. I do appreciate the help you and others have given me.

Anytime, Donna. :-) I'm not sure about finding testimonials here...I was just searching and don't think I found what you would be looking for. It might be best to search online - Trust Pilot - as you mentioned. Best wishes to you with the PPC project. Talk soon.

Hi, Donna

I would ask permission to use their post as a testimonial and then you can screenshot the entire thing, including the avatar (if that’s what you’re asking).

Frank 🎸

Thankyou, Frank. I can describe blockchain and AI, AGI and lots more, thanks to you, but I'm so confused about some of this building of website stuff, and frustrated if you can't tell. So, my theme, which is Divi, and which I used a template, has a section in which, all I have to do is replace the tiny profile picture and copy a person's testimonial text. This is a testimonial towards Wealthy Affiliate if that matters. And, of course, it makes sense to ask permission. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Donna!

I wonder if Divi gives you a customizable block for that in the Block Editor.

You can ask the community about specifically doing that with Divi, and someone who uses the theme may provide you with the answer.

Relax, life is short, so enjoy. 😎

Rock On! 🤘
Frank 🎸

Thanks, Frank. The block editor might do that now. I bet it does. By any chance, do you have a testimonial you would like to share?

Amen. Rock On!

Lol I don’t use testimonials, Donna. I just write my musical stuff and let Google take care of the rest. 😎
