Hello WA Family πŸ‘‹

What was the best thing that happened to you this week?

Mine is nothing much so far. I am happy that my site's speed is back to normal again after I took off Google AdSense, changed plugins, and rescaled pictures on several posts. I also feel good after I published new content for my website the other day where I referred one of AlyseS's articles on my post. I found one of her posts on her website relevant and I think my readers will benefit from that additional information. I have been doing this refer a friend thing with Greg (Asdabbi) as well.

Why should we refer a friend?

I got this idea and started to refer each other with Greg about two months ago. We discussed it via private message. Sometimes we struggle with writer's block. This refer friend method can also help us with generating ideas together for our next new content. Isn't that nice?

We all know it is important to include internal and external links to our posts because it is parts of good SEO practice that will improve our possibility to get ranked on Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing.

For external links, as I understand it, it is better to use authority sites that are found on the first page on Google. But then I was thinking, why don't I also refer other WA member's post on mine and we can help each other grow that way. No matter how new their sites, as long as their posts are relevant to our posts, then why not? If we think our readers can also benefit from it, it's a win-win, right?

Kyle and Carson have built Wealthy Affiliate with a great support system within the community. The Site Comment and Site Feedback are great places to start. The pay it forward system is brilliant. To use those features, we should first give our comments or feedback so that we can earn credits to be used to request for comment or feedback.

Today I finally got my Certified Commenter status. Yay!!

I like to incorporate all of the means I can utilize within the platform. For example the give and take comments thread: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/authoring-writing-content/the-give-and-take-comment-thread-get-website-engagement/comment/ and there is also a place where we can ask for the community's feedback on our website: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/getting-started/please-give-me-feedback-on-my-website/comment/

So I was thinking, using the same kind of system, why don't we start referring our friend's post on our post. That way, we help each other grow.

In the future, I'll PM some more members who I found have great posts on their website that I can refer on my future posts. πŸ™‚ If you guys would also like to start referring each other's posts with me, please let me know. My niche is Health and Mindfullness.

Do we have to have the same niche? Not necessarily. It depends. Again, as long as it is relevant to our post, that will do, right?

Alright Folks, I have to go back to my draft for my next content.

Anyways... Thanks for stopping by and reading this post.

Have a great day/evening.

Stay safe, happy, and healthy y'all!

Love this article, Ferra. Extremely helpful for a newbie like me. I took down both links, and having had time to consider your suggestion, I think it's a great idea to help other WA people on our way to success. When the article is along the lines of what we like, we can promote it and support each other to fame and success. Great idea.

Hi Joss,

Thank you for your kind comment and for sharing your thoughts on this, Joss. When we have a healthy and supportive community like Wealthy Affiliate, we can grow together and help each other to reach our goals.
Hope you're having a great weekend! πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Ferra

This is true Ferra. I think more of us needs to incorporate this in our DMO. I have started to do this some weeks ago with, Rami, Cassi and Lmorando. I have done it infrequently with some other members as well.

Rami wrote about this as well some weeks ago on his blog. And it can never be repeated enough. It is a great idea.

As of last week this isnow one of my tasks on my DMO. I try to do a minimum of one each day, together with minimum 2 site comments within the WA platform.

I also make sure that I revisit my comments to other members websites, and follow up on their response to my comment.

A great advice from you Ferra!πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸΌ

Hi Roy,

I started to do the same thing this week. I also revisit members sites that I commented and read their reply, because sometimes I left a question in my comment too.

I think it is important so we can support each other and grow together. This also allow us to create stronger community and some bonds of friendships even though we have never see each others in person.

Thank you for your comment, Roy! Hope you're having a great weekend! πŸ˜€πŸ‘
