Hello everyone, I usually feel lost and hesitant about the finishing words on the finishing sentence of my blog posts, specially when the alert '' woohoo, you are nearly done,
This happens to me as well and normally it feels right to do a quick summay of all you written so that you can leave your readers with key take away points and then do a request for comments or questions.
All the best to you :)
Great question... just remember that people in general will only do what you ask them to do. If you notice the blog posts here on WA some are smart and finish by asking readers a question followed by 'don't forget to like and comment'. And without it even those who know better may forget to like or comment.
Good luck!

Is there any approved advice on finishing the blog article?
Hello everyone, I usually feel lost and hesitant about the finishing words on the finishing sentence of my blog posts, specially when the alert '' woohoo, you are nearly done,
Also you may like to insert your keyword again in your summary conclusion if you think it is relevant and conveys a message.
That's in addition to keyword in title and first or second paragraph.

I find my content posts missing external links in WordPress, please help me out!
Hey Hendrick,
You've got plenty of reading from the links below, but here's my take on external links.
You want your articles to provide as much value as possible to your reader.
So, this will also involve quoting sources, or providing additional information.
This is best achieved by linking to an external website that is considered an authority in your niche.
However, you don't want to link to an article that is on the exact same subject as your article, as your readers may take their allegiance away from you.
So, as a couple of examples:
In the Make Money Online niche, I am writing an article about keyword research and I happen to mention YouTube. I then link to Neil Patel's article on YouTube.
Neil is considered an authority in the Make Money Online niche, so I link to an article of his to provide my readers with more valuable information.
However, the article I link to is NOT directly related to MY article.
The result = Win-Win for both me and my readers.
In the Weight Loss niche, I write an article about Veganism and mention some information about cow's milk.
I link to an article on MayoClinic, again a Massive authority site, in the weight loss niche, about dairy products.
Once again I provide my readers with additional value, but to an authority site that doesn't conflict or compete directly with my vegan article.
My best advice to you - learn who the Biggest and Best sites are in your niche.

Thanks for the advice, I do my research from Wikipedia and I do notice advices on utilizing it, I think it is worth it
Good for you Hendrick.
I will say that even though Jay's 2019 SEO Webinar states linking to Wikipedia as an authority site, remember there are plenty of other authorities out there.
Firstly, you don't want your website to become a "link farm" to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is currently viewed as an "authority" in Google's eyes, purely because they have massive domain authority, i.e. lots of websites link to them, they have millions of articles, and are "currently" viewed as an online encyclopedia.
However, Wikipedia is also open to members of the public, you and me, to be edited and have content added based on our opinions.
So, even though Wikipedia has a high DA rating, Google is getting more and more clever by the day, week, month and year.
This is why I think it's important to know the Big Players in your niche, and link to them more often.
For me, irrespective of niche, writing content is ALL about highlighting your personality.
Just my opinion - Wikipedia doesn't have a great deal of personality!
Google will (very) soon realise this.
Partha
Yeah I have been thinking more about Google on that, and reluctant.
Good point that you are highlighting

Greetings to everyone in Everything WordPress!
Please help me out with a few issues with my site on WordPress,
Google disapproves third-party apps to s
Hi Hendrick,
Like others have stated, these are more guidelines. They are not that important. I would drop a message to the support team with a screenshot and ask them to kindly double-check these issues.
Thanks Wwei, I have managed to get it better now since the critical issue was because of the third-party app, MonsterInsights, which I managed to delete, and after that the site status is now good.
Thanks
Hendrick
Hi, you may want to check out below resource Site Health (and Why It's Not That Important)
Hello Hendrick. I have come to find that these things don't really matter too much. Mine does and says the same thing sometimes, and it doesn't make a difference in how your site is doing.
Try not to get caught up in the tech stuff and just focus on building your site. everything else will fall into place.
Hope this helps!

Also you may like to insert your keyword again in your summary conclusion if you think it is relevant and conveys a message.
That's in addition to keyword in title and first or second paragraph.
Thanks, I have seen that inside WordPress, I understand what you are referring to
Thanks
