This may be just a detail, but...

When researching for 2 very similar keywords, Jaaxy showed metrics I don't quite understand. And I'm hoping someone will enlighten me..

Thank for sharing this i will do my research to find out the metrics.

Thanks

If my thinking is right SEO doesn't like articles in keywords. I learned this in YOAST but I don't understand.

They like keywords in a post but no more than 1.5 to 2% with a Yoast preference of 1%. That's 1 keyword per 100 words written do density is strong enough to tell Google, Yahoo, and Bing what the page is about but not strong enough to say here's a spammer just stuffing the page with keywords. Instead, they suggest using a mix of your preferred search term and related terms called LSI or Latent Symantec Indexing. This would be like saying Computer in one paragraph and laptop in the next with Desktop PC mixed in as well.

Yes, I understand. In my post usually I include the articles and stop words and YOAST suggests it to remove if possible.

Yeah SEO specialist made up the term stop words because older search versions would only read the keyword before the stop so if you sai here to eternity your site might rank for here or might rank for eternity but would not rank for Here to Eternity. Search has grown past that logic as written by Matt Cutts of Google and is smarter now and knows some stop words are required. SEO is not an exact science it is speculation from common practices tested over time and some notions are way outdated.

SEO score depends on the quality of the sites ranking for that keyword even if they don't directly target that keyword. The first keyword may be easier to rank for while the second keyword may have 1-2 major authority sites already taking up the spots you would be looking to reach. Both scores show that reaching page 1 should take little effort.

Hey, Andy.

I checked back the SERP and yes, it seems that this really could be the case.

Yeah! I just learned one more thing about Jaaxy and keyword choices thanks to you. :-)

Awesome! Thanks again.

I wish you all the best,
Eliane

I am glad you asked the question so we can see the answer! I have wondered the same thing.

Jessica

I'm glad my question helped you too, Jessica.

It feels good to learn a new thing every day, doesn't it?

Yes!

I can't seem to find the menu option "My History".

You remember it, right? Before the recent UX update, it used to be in the left-hand sidebar.

Is it gone for go

Featured Comment

Yes the old history platform is gone, but it has been replaced with something better.

If you go to the Training menu, under Training Activity it will show all of your recent activity within the training.

I hope this clarifies for you Elaine!

Hi, Kyle!

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, I saw the "Training Activity" option but that's not exactly what I needed.

I was looking for a blog I had recently read, and - of course - it won't show on the Training Activity.

Is there a way to find it?

You don't remember who wrote it do you?

No, Eric, unfortunately not.

It wasn't something really important though. Not a problem.

Although it would be nice to have this option available in case we needed in the future, you know?

It was a good feature.

I never used it, I just bookmark a lot of things. :-)

Yeah, I too bookmark tons of things.

But sometimes, like this one, I only realize I’ll need that information later on...

Hey, thanks for your time and trying to help me.

Cheers!

What was the blog about, maybe I read it and remember who wrote it

Loes, you're so sweet!

It was from a newcomer.

He said he had tried other internet marketing platforms before joining WA. And that he was impressed by all the positive blogs he's been reading and by the support he's getting from the community here.

I thought it was a nice quick testimonial and wanted to mention it to someone.

Oww that's going to be hard to find:( Have you followed him? You could check your latest follows

Yeah, that's a great idea but no, I didn't follow him.

But no worries, it's really not that important.

Thank you so much, Loes, for your time. I really appreciate it.

I had the same issue ...

Thanks for this suggestion, Loes.

I now use my browser history. I used to auto delete it each time l closed my browser. I keep it for longer now.


Yes, Jude, that's a good solution for very recent activities such as blogs I visited a day or two ago.

But performing the same research for not so recent activities (let's say a week ago), would take "forever" considering all other websites I visit with my browser.

Thanks for your comment anyway! :-)

All the best.

The WA History only had the most recent activity available, I think only a day, or a limited number of items in the list.

Perhaps use the WA bookmark feature for any content that you might want to get back to later.

Or the Pocket App is useful for bookmarking. https://getpocket.com/

oh, I liked the My History tab too - hopefully it makes a reappearance!

It's been a few days that I haven't been able to log in WA with Chrome. I type my Email and Password, it shows the "Success!" message, but then it goes back to a blank Wealthy

I understand your browser preference and in itself it should not be a problem at all. What could help is to refresh your browser before you try to log in, if you can't log in I would contact Kyle or Carson

Thanks, Hope, for you reply.

I've tried refreshing the browser, but it didn't work.

I'll try and contact Kyle as you suggested.

Thanks and all the best,
Eliane

you are very welcome hope it will get solved quickly please do let me know wish you all the best

Hope

All solved, Hope.

I sent a PM to Kyle and he answered very quickly, saying that they ran an update yesterday that should've solved this issue. And also oriented me to delete my cookies.
I did so and now my Chrome is back to normal!

I'm glad I heard your suggestion. :D

Thanks again!

Hi ElianeLima

you are very welcome I couldn't solve it but at least I could refer you to the right person happy to hear it's resolved all the best

I know it's POSSIBLE to edit a comment left on my website. But is it ethical?

There are actually 2 aspects to this question:

1 - A comment left directly on my web

To me, making minor changes (eliminating profanity, fixing spelling errors and grossly bad grammar) is no big deal, as long as the fixes don't change the commenter's intent.

I consider editing other people's comments unethical when you start inserting your words as if they were theirs. You can always reply to a comment without a question by providing additional information even if they haven't asked for it.

Another possible approach would be to pose what you'd think their question would be in your reply to them.

For example:
Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your comment. You seem to be asking "What do you mean by xxx?". If that's the case, here's my answer

Thank you so much, Bob, for your detailed answers.

I totally agree with you. I wasn't feeling comfortable about the possibility of including a question to other people's comments.

So, yes, I'll keep NOT doing it. And, of course, I'll try to reply all comments in a way that provides additional information and internal links to my readers.

Thanks again and all the best!

I would not edit a comment or a question. One exception is that the only time I have ever edited a comment was a negative one and I took out the profanity only. I answered the comment positively after taking the profanity out.

Thank you, Darleen.

This seems to be the correct approach. And one I feel more comfortable with, anyway. :D

All the best,
Eliane

Hi, Eliane Lima! How are you? :) I hope you are doing great with your site! A year ago, CathyLou made a similar question. This might help:

Hi, Henry-II!
Thank you so much for your reply.

I read her question and the answers she received. My feeling is that she was getting overall terrible comments.

In my case, I was hoping to hear some thoughts about the possibility of just including a question on a comment we receive through Site Comments since that's the instruction we get from WA (and not a lot of people follow).

All the best,
Eliane

I just noticed that under "A Special Welcome to Our New Premium Members!" WA lists some "not so new" Premium Members.
I was going to welcome some of them but - I don't know

If you are looking at the Joined Date, that has nothing to do with the date they became premium. That indicates the date they became a member.

There are thousands of WA members who become free starter members and do not become a premium member until months and even years later.

Thanks for your reply, Robert.

But no, I wasn't looking at the Joined Date.

I went to their Profiles and saw messages dated months ago from people giving them congratulations for becoming Premium.

As a matter of fact, today after I wrote down this question, something similar happened to me. I got a welcome message in my profile... But you see, I've been a member since Jan'17.

I thought that was odd and decided to ask if someone knew why.

In any case, I'll keep checking the profiles before writing my welcome messages.

Thanks again.

Oh...Well that really is strange.

Seeing how there have been a few glitches with the WA platform ever since they made the major upgrade to the rankings, this could be one of those glitches.

Often have to check their dates of joining Elaine

Yeah, that's what I realized, Michael.
Wonder why this happens, though... I just got a welcome message on my Profile page but I've been a member since Jan'17.
