Howdy Folks
A question about product comparisons and keywords.
If I want to compare Product A vs Product B do I also need to do a Product B vs Product A to cover both key

Hey Dom,

This is merely my humble opinion.

THEY LOVE IT

If you ever check the "Related Searches" at the bottom of the page of a Google search, especially when the search is on a specific product, you will typically find "VS." related keyword search.

This pretty much tells you that people are specifically looking for a comparison between 2 products (this also happens to be the subject of my last WA blog post).

From an LSI point of view, I would hazard a guess based on on-page optimization, you can rank for both products,PLUS the "related searches", "vs," phrases, and a vast array of other keyword terms.

In terms of relevancy, which I still believe is the most important aspect of content in Google eyes, you've pretty much hit a home run.

You provide a fairly in-depth review of both products,

You then have a list of pros. and cons.

You then compare these against each other.

You finally provide YOUR OPINION on which you believe is the better of the two.

Win-win, as far as I'm concerned.

A visitor to your site is unlikely to find better information elsewhere.

If you check the "People Also Ask" and "Related Searches" on Google for product reviews you will find they are littered with comparison (Product A vs. Product B) queries.

An excellent answer Partha - thank you.
As an extra question - would my comparison turn up in the search engine results if someone searched for just Product A or just Product B.
Our schooling suggests we attack just 1 keyword in our post; a product comparison would involve 2 keywords (both products) or am I attacking the A vs B keyword?

Hey Dom,

Realistically it all depends on how well you optimize your article for either or both products,

Yes, we are taught to only target ONE keyword per article, and this is correct.

But your ONE keyword could be "Product A vs. Product B".

However, as the article ages you will typically rank for MANY other keywords anyway.

I know I have articles that "ridiculously" rank for around 50+ different keywords.

So, write your article as a "vs." related keyword.

Within a couple of months you MAY rank for one and not the other, you may rank for the phrase "Product A vs. Product B".

Eventually, if the article is well-written, and well-optimized, you MAY rank for 100s of related keyword.

Focus on the ONE, the others will follow.

The difference between what you rank for with an article after 3 months compared to 2 years could be astronomical.

Partha

Brilliant! Thanks Partha - much appreciated

Is there a 'marketplace' on WA where members can sell their WA hosted and registered websites to other members?

No, but you could look into Flippa.com, Dom!

No, as Diane says it is against the community rules here.
Check online for places to sell a site.,

Alex

Good questions and answers.


Cheers,
Mathew&Deloris;

Hi - officially, we are not supposed to do that. However, I notice that others just mention in a blog post that they are selling a site without purposely suggesting another member could buy it.

Not for me to say whether that is right or wrong.

I never even thought it would be against the rules! Wow, thanks Diane - I shall give it no more thought

I suppose the thinking behind it is, that we shouldn't get a financial gain from other members. Same as we can't offer paid services to each other such as content writing or graphic design etc.

No, fair enough. Rules are rules as they say - thank you for clearing it up.

Hey Dom,

Sounds like you are looking for help creating a conditional form on your website.

If so, you may find this article helpful: https://support.prontoforms.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003318126-Building-Conditional-Logic-Rules

And... please see screen print below... for help with searching for help in doing this.

Hope you find this helpful.

This is a new concept for me, I haven't heard of this before. This will be really helpful for me down the line. Thanks so much for sharing :)

You are very welcome Shannon, and Thank YOU for letting me know that this helped you too.

I agree with you, Dom! The WA community is absolutely the best!

Jeff

Stupendous help folks!
Thank you so much, I'll explore all of them

No worries Dom, let us know which solution worked for you.

I certainly will!

there are plugins that can cover what you want - logic ones or even a quiz plugin would do it
you could have radio buttons with
what age do you fall between
10-20
etc and if they tick the box and click go to my best investment section button it takes them to where you want them to goto
you could even do this without a plugin with just buttons
or if you want htem to enter their age then you maybe able to use one of the calculator plugins to decide and send them onto where you want to go...
custom forms plugin will do it with radio buttons
or even better would be h5p interactive videos
but to keep it simple i would go with he quiz plugin.....
i hope you manage to get it sorted Dom

Hello, would I be right in thinking that, if I were to host my website outside of WA I wouldn't be able to publish to my site via SiteContent - or, in fact, be able to use any

hey hi Dom ... and good question as all questions are good ones here ...

when WA Premium offers pretty much everything that is needed to learn and to build a successful online biz, tools, support, resources et al --- why the heck would you want to host elsewhere? ...

anyway, it looks like Diane and Andre have some helpful replies for you ....

hope everything works out well for you ... cheerio ... :)

Hey Keisha - Yup, completely agree that WA's hosting is awesome - just making sure that all the possible questions are answered.

... that's a positive trait to have -- being thoroughly grounded in research before pouncing ...lol ... good on YOU! .. ⭐️😊⭐️

All the site options are for premium members who have the website hosted here.

So if you hosted your website elsewhere you no longer would have the SSL, spam protection and the rest unless you pay for it with the other hosting as many of these you are charged elsewhere.

As for publishing in site content, Diane has answered that for you.

Thank you Andre - I thought that might be the case. Much appreciated.

Most welcome it is here when you realized just how much more you have benefiting you by hosting at WA at no added cost to you just your normal membership you would pay.

Wishing you well

Andre

Hi - you could write the content and make use of the spelling and grammar checker, but you wouldn't be able to publish it to the website. Neither could you use Site Comments or Site Feedback.

I did think so but was seeking confirmation - many thanks Diane - much appreciated

I've only had my website down ONCE for a few minutes (like less than 3 minutes) in the 2+years that I've been with WA. I would also say 99%.

Thank you Reyhana, that's comforting to know.

It has been 99% for me over the last several years.

Thanks Labman - I have to admit, I can't find an 'official' figure - is there an official website for finding out website uptimes?
