For some reason my site on mobile is being cut off not taking up the whole screen, this does not look good and makes everything squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this pr
I got also the Mobile friendly approval from Google, but I still had to install the WPtouch plugin to let it work correctly on my mobile devices Make Your Website Mobile Friendly
I checked my iphone and see it fine. Nothing is "cutoff". I use Sprint for my internet on my IPhone. The social buttons are going down not across. The recent posts are all showing if I scroll down. On the bottom I see a link for "older articles", "search", "recent posts" listed, "categories" listed, "follow us", "archives", "contact me", "privacy policy", "important disclaimer" and "amazon associates disclosure".
The only thing I don't see is your "menu tabs". Since I do see your side menu items, maybe you should try to add your top menu items on your side menu as well and see if it shows then.
I had a similar issue where no content was showing. Changed the theme and the problem was fixed. Keep working!
Hey Deep,
Sounds like you may need to change your theme.
The site you are referring to ... is it the one you have included in your profile here at WA?
If yes, here's your test results: http://bit.ly/2taXvB1 you can easily check out the different devices and what your site will look like. Simply click on the monitor icons and make your selection as to which device to view your site on.
Did you update your theme since your previous test that worked? If so, you could go to the theme owner's support and put in a ticket to discover what can be done to fix this.

Yeah, this is more than likely a theme issue and how they have developed that particular theme for "responsive" (working on mobile).
Google has a mobile friendly test tool to see how friendly your website is:
https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly
You might want to check that out.

I realize that commenting on other sites is a way to form backlinks, however, I also have heard that Google does not like these kinds of backlinks, especially if they aren't re
I tend to remove any http url's entered on my comments as the http was making my page insecure (without the padlock).
If they have https, then I leave them in.
I never put in my own link when I comment as I dont see any benefit to it, instead I try to spread the links on social media and now experimenting with reddit and tumblr...
I personally don't think it hurts. Is it beneficial (in Google's perspective)? I'm not sure.
I will say that I've personally clicked on a few of these links when the commenter said something especially smart. (or dumb)
So that is a vector for new visitors to visit your site. They might even stay a while and read your content if they find it interesting.
But if you said something inflammatory in a comment, you might end up with a new troll. So if you are in the habit of getting into heated political or religious conversations online, I'm not sure I'd provide a link back to my main site. But perhaps I'd link to some other site that was more appropriate.
most of my comments are from members on my site and I found this to be very helpful. I have not found this to be hindering to my site on the contrary. see good new always a better way If we at WA start to thing that this has a negative impact on there web page then every body would stop going it and this is not what WA is all about it's was created to help one another paying it FORWARD
I think my site has been picked up by Google not because of the commenting but the search engines with good content and SEO. that would not have happened if it weren't for Kyle and Crag. Commenting is very necessary for site health and lifts self confidants and self esteem.
I have been around the net for a while and since working here at WA has been the first time that I have been able to move forward. not because of comments on my site but because WA is the tool that has helped me get there. Paying it forward is WA.
Always a better way

Hi Deep,
I don't really know if it effects anything or not. I have left mine on several sites I have made comments on. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I haven't seen yet anyone in commenting a site. It's only permitted in the comment thread: Affiliate Bootcamp - The Comment Share Post (Day 7)
I don't see why it wouldn't be, but Google DOES come out with new rules often...lol...They used to like that, and rankings used to go up with commenting! Maybe someone else has more experience with this :)
I don't know. I have commented on other sites and left my info. I don't know if this has hurt anything. We will see what the community thinks. Have a good evening
Good question. I'm curious to see what kind of answers you'll get. I'm on my 10th day as a Premium member. So, let's hear from the experts!
Cheers!

Hi there
If you sign up to 'google alerts'...
this is a very interesting way to get content ideas
cheers PB
You can always consult google. Don't be intimidated about writing. Write what you are doing or thinking about.
Interestingly enough, I'm finding that I'm able to get great ideas more from magazines than from the Internet. If it's in your budget, subscribing to 1 or 2 may prove to be beneficial.
Also, people like personal stories, so maybe you can have a series just on your personal journey, which will allow you to tie in products.
Lastly, you can't go wrong with lists like "Top 5" or "Top 10". You can do it for protein bars, shakes, equipment to use for a particular part of the body, gyms, exercises, etc. I did a Top 10 excuses people make for not cleaning, then gave solutions. How many excuses do people make for not exercising! The key is to keep reading about your field.
Hope this is helpful, Deep.
I have the same problems sometimes but just start writing anything that you know regardless how little info you have and eventually things pop to the surface and before you know it you will have a post with several hundred words, so just start writing.
Hi DeepPatel,
One of the things that helped me was going to online forums that centered around my niche, and just reading the various conversations between people.
A lot of the times, those conversations are centered around problems and questions that people have. When I would notice or read about someone having questions or problems, if I knew that I had some insight or expertise in this area, it made it a lot easier to write about it or create an article about that particular topic.
I often use forums to generate topics of interests, especially if I enjoy learning about it and it is something have experience with.
Try it, it might work for you.
Rick
You're welcome! I have written a few articles as a result of a problem or question someone else is facing or asking. This works well, especially if you happen to know something about whatever it is, or you don't mind learning more.
Hope you're having a great day!

Hi, the first thing you need to be clear on is who your target market is. Figure out what challenges or problems they are having. Are they trying to lose weight? Or, are they in need of a specific type of diet for medical reasons? Etc, Etc. It's hard for me to be more specific than that without knowing exactly what your niche is within health and wellness....because that's a huge niche. Once you know what their problem is...you need to figure out what solves their problem. Hopefully, you will be able to offer a product or service that will solve that problem for them. Once you know all of this info, you should have no problem coming up with an almost unlimited amount of content for your blog.
thanks for the advice, yes I realize I am in a big niche but I chose that because I want to be able to grow really big in the future, this niche hopefully allows me to do that in the long term when I have more writers.
Keyword research is your key. Do the keyword research around your niche and you will find what people want to know. Then you can formulate your content around those concepts.

Something devasting happened to me and I don't know why. I logged into search console and Google analytics today such to start my day off horribly. For some reason somehow my s
Yes, I did. I realized that I got rid of my Google console verification code, so I add to reverify the site and hopefully, tomorrow things will go back to normal.
You don't need a plugin for verification.
In the lessons we did it without, it was easy to do.
If it doesn't get resolved with Triblu's link, I would contact SiteSupport. They see things on their end that we don't.
Thank you for the help, I realized that I had a plugin installed for the verification of search console but I had it deactivated a while ago, and for some time it was ok. However, starting four days ago when Google search console was trying to keep my site verified it wouldn't because the code wasn't there, so it kept failing for four days, then unverified me thinking some new owner has appeared or the site is mine. At least I think this is what caused the problem. Hopefully, all the data will be able to load back tomorrow, fingers crossed.

I recently had someone become a subscriber to my site through WordPress, what does this mean?
Somebody is interested with want you have posted and want more. So it's a good thing.
Congrats. Keep up the good work.
I'd think it means you're going in the right direction! Great work, hopefully it's the first of many!
Most unexpected subscribers are bots trying to hack your website. Go to Settings > General and uncheck the box "anyone can register". Save the setting then go to Users > All Users and delete the ones that shouldn't be there.
Hey Deep,
This means someone enjoys your content and they're hoping you will keep them updated regarding new posts you publish.
You may find this post very helpful as to what to do next: http://www.blogtyrant.com/follow-up-email/
Turns out I checked the person's email and email verification sites were saying it's not trustworthy.
Whatever email service you are using should offer you the option to setup a form to verify a subscriber's email address. You can Google search to find how to do this with your email service, to find out how to set the form up.
