Google February 2023 Product Reviews Update

What's everyones view and reaction to the latest Google update? WA promotes product reviews in its training, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been badly hit by it. My traffic has been nearly wiped out.If you're an SEO expert or you've been hit by this, what is there to do about it? And what is the future of product reviews?

Need to vent.

Feeling frustrated is an understatement. I received an email from one of my affiliate programs that they are reducing their commission rates from 8% to 0.5% during the busiest month of the year! Not only that but they gave less than 24 hours notice. Where most of the programs I'm affiliated with are increasing their commission rates for this month, they've gone ahead and basically gotten rid of their commission. This is a program that I send quite a lot of traffic to daily but obviously, they d

US or UK spelling to rank higher?

I live in the UK and about 50% of my traffic comes from the uk. I found a high ranking keyword, however, the word has american spelling. The English equivalent doesn't rank as high. Should I go for the UK spelling which goes with my site or the US spelling which ranks higher?Thanks!

Issues with the new comments

I have a beauty blog and I get comments the whole time from men who write they don't know anything about beauty but they've saved it for their wife. These aren't the comments I'm after! They don't look good on my site and they don't add anything. People shouldn't comment if they don't know the subject. A way around the issue is to close the comment window and come back 5 minutes later where hopefully you'll get a more relevant site to comment on.

Update!

So I haven't posted any updates in a while and some of you may be wondering where I'm holding. I am still working on my beauty and makeup site which I'm really enjoying but, I wish was doing a lot better than it is. My last post was that I made my first few sales. Since then I have continued to make sales most months, but its small change. Nothing that even adds up to anything.I have all the best excuses for this, some months I barely posted. I'm highly pregnant now, due any day in fact, and fo

Made my first sales!

I honestly never thought this would happen but I made 3 sales in the last 2 weeks! I hadn't checked my affiliate programs in a while and today I decided to check them. I didn't make much but it's a start and I'm so happy that my hard work is finally starting to pay off.

First page on google!

I did a training this week by Jay about how to get on to the first page on google. I just posted my first article since I watched the training, and I'm the 2nd ranked on google! I'm in shock that it really worked. Although I know I shouldn't be, Jay knows what he's talking about:)

Adsense

I have finally got my google adsense up and running which I am very excited about! I have also been posting twice a week consistently now for a couple of months which is something I am proud of. The hardest part of my website is the writing. It was never my thing:( I am getting used to how to go about it, so it has become that bit easier. However, as soon as I become profitable the first change I'm making is to get someone to write my articles. I am definitely looking forward to that!

Finished Training!

After being here for about 5 months I have finally finished my training! Even though I'm not seeing results yet I've learnt so much here and so far I've really enjoyed my journey:)Thanks to all those who have helped me on the way!
