Can I use Joomla to build WA websites? Wordpress seems geared to blog style websites and I am finding it difficult to make my website appear as I want it. Are there any reasons

Kathy is pretty much on top of things here at WA. So I would say your covered. You might check with support of you want confirmation. Good luck Chris.

No, Joomla isn't supported here. Your site doesn't have to look like a "blog", there are thousands of free customizable themes available. Have you tried many of them?

Keyword, Niche and Market Research
Updated

I have a few good keywords in my niche that would lend themselves nicely to a list of sub-headings in the opening paragraph of one of my pages. They are all different (but obvio

Wouldn't it be better to write a post around each keyword rather than use them all at once.

Yes, that is the best approach.

Just one will do, the one you use in the title repeated in the first 160 caricatures is ideal.

Be careful not to use all of your keywords all in one go! Don't forget that you will need to be adding content in 3, 4 or 5 months from now. Will you have enough to go at?

The niche I'm in for this will only have a certain amount of content, once it is filled new content will only arise now and then. It is a health niche.

Terry (Strap) brings up a very valid point. You will have to keep adding content consistently to your website in the months to come in order for your website rankings to go up in Google. If you get all your content out there and then stop, your rankings will drop lick a rock.

It is important to create for yourself a posting schedule. Google needs to know which days you will consistently be adding content so it can send its spiders to crawl and index your content. I am actually writing up training on this right now which will better explain what I mean, and will be posting it tomorrow.

Look forward to that Robert

I hope I can get that done before too late tomorrow. A lot of writing going on here.

There is some very good advice going on here, I certainly did not expect this this response from everybody, so a hearty thank-you goes out to you all.
As my research into my niche is getting deeper I have discovered that there are newsletters and info releases from various professional (and non-professional) organizations etc.; these are released on a fairly regular basis so I reckon I will have some good sources to update my pages in the future.
Cheers,
Chris.

One targeted keyword per page or post.

Google will see it and latent semantic indexing or LSI that is related content and it is definitely a good thing. They are explained a little more here

Hi Kat,
This what I was thinking, some of these keywords would have just flowed out of the end of the (keyboard) pen naturally, it just so happened that when I was searching with Jaaxy, lo & behold they appeared in the search results, I had come up with good keywords without even realising it, so I am thinking that Google would see it as just a natural part of the page topic. They surely wouldn't penalize you for that, would they?
Cheers,
Chris.

Robert it is right in the sense that you should only target one keyword per post but let's face it is absolutely impossible to write an article without using secondary keywords

This is true.

Thanks Kat. I have tremendous respect for Robert's expertise, but I agree that in many articles, it is impossible to only use one keyword. Glad to see Robert agrees with you..

A couple of years ago I tried to create an affiliate account with Amazon.com but I thought I had messed it up, so I tried again and actually opened an account with Amazon.co.uk;

Go to your amazon associates page and find on left side the operating agreement under customer support. May help.

I agree with boomer because when I opened mine, it said that you cannot have 2 accounts and if they found that you do, you could be suspended from Amazon.

You cannot use both. If you are located in the UK then use that one. You should also contact Amazon to inform them of the issue so that there is no future problem with payments.

Many thanks for the info boomer, I am in the U.K. so I guess I will have to close the .com account.
Cheers,
Chris.

You are welcome.

I was going to test a new theme for my website on the siterubix domain but when I go to log in my password is exactly the same as my site proper, and when I log-in it takes me t

Hi Chris they cant both have the same url a site rubix site will have that in the title. I suspect that you bought the name and copied the site in its entirety. There is no way they can have the same domain name. So I would delete the site rubix account there is no point in having two sites with duplicate content bwecause it will affect your ranking. Dleete it and make a test site in site rubix to play with

Hi Kat,That is exactly what I did. I have since deleted the siterubix domain & Google Analytics is now working on the real domain. For some reason I can't seem to get the comments facility working, so I'll have to persevere with that one.
Thanks for your advice, it confirmed my suspicions.
Cheers,
Chris.

Looks like they have you covered

You are welcome Chris

Was your siterubix site a copy of the domain that you bought? Did they both have the same domain name? If this is the case, then this is probably why.

Hi Floridalma, I think that you may be right, I built the siterubix site first as part of the WA training, then I bought the domain with the same name, it seems whenever I update the real site the siterubix updates as well. Should I delete the siterubix site and build another one with a different name to practice on? I want to test some different
themes without wrecking my proper site.

I think that if this is the case, although it is strange, that you can definitely take advantage of this and have your siterubix site be your backup in case anything ever happens to your other site. You can just implement the material from your siterubix, which has the exact same material as your actual domain, and fix any errors with your domain if you ever run into any trouble. I definitely still have my siterubix site and I always keep it as a backup. Hope this helps :)

I can't setup Google Analytics or activate comments on the pages of the site proper, I am sure I've seen somewhere that siterubix sites don't allow these, so maybe my real domain is getting mixed up with the siterubix one, I have backed up the real site on to my computer via FTP with Filezilla, so I think I should be able to delete the siterubix one with no problems.

Ok, yes, this is your personal decision. But in order to activate comments on your site you have to install Akismet, it is free, you just need to get your API key once it is sent to your email account :)
