Hey Alan! Sometimes, I don't understand the cards that are dealt to good people. Life sometimes seems unfair and then something comes out of it all to make us realize that it was all for the better.

Here is my wish that finding WA turns out to be just that thing for you and your wife!

Hoping great things will come to you during the next year and that by next Christmas you will be sharing successful stories with all of us!

Thanks for writing!

John

Thanks for the nice note Ruben and thanks for the follow!

I've been pretty hard on my body over the years. I wonder how it still holds up, but I've begun to take it easy and hopefully, I will be able to hobble around after I retire. I sometimes wonder if staying busy at work is what is keeping everything working.

Anyway, take care. I am glad that you can still do stuff to stay busy. With that, I wish you the most success!

You can always adjust your niche, it should help your rankings when you post about other topics. Readers will get an deeper knowledge of a topic.

Is it alright to realize that you've carved out too small of a niche?

- Yes, it is alright, however it actually works in your favor to start very specific and then broaden out as you go. Rather than constantly editing old posts, you can write new posts that reflect new opinions or new understanding, or as you've suggested, a broadened niche. Continue with the training and you'll find out about targeting low-hanging fruit keywords. To do that, you need to keep writing content. Just keep moving forward, and writing. No need to look back too terribly much, but it doesn't hurt to do so.

Does it change anything when you change wording on your published website to reflect its new direction?

- It can, yes, if you've already been indexed and you change the keywords of a post.

The articles haven't been indexed yet, so do these types of changes delay the indexing process?

- No, indexing occurs when Google crawls your site, which occurs at random intervals, depending on how their web bots do said crawling. That said, remember what I said above in my first answer. Also, keep in mind that I am not expert here. I am also fairly new, but have an understanding of how this process works. Keep moving forward, and best of luck to you!

The biggest thing to remember is if articles are not ranking making changes can go for the good of the article and help get it ranked.

Many of us are constantly adjusting our Niche. You will soon see if you're heading in the right direction, your rankings will let you know. Jim

Kevin, nice reply to John's questions.

Thanks for the nice note, Jonathan.

It's amazing to me, maybe a little bit funny how so many of us are all together, in a supportive group, yet going in different directions.

Wealthy Affiliate has created a culture of support that is strong enough to do that.

As I read people's posts here, I think of new competitions and their new competitors. Sports like skateboarding, BMX, snowboarding and some 'reality' type competitions like American Ninja Warrior.

The participants truly want to see each other succeed.

It's a fairly new phenomenon, but watch the video of Tony Hawk pulling off his first 900 in the 1999 X Games. Do you see any of his competition standing there looking worried about their prospects for overcoming that moment?

Heck no!

All the skaters are jumping for joy. They love to watch others succeed...to achieve what was once thought to be impossible.

That is the Wealthy Affiliate community.

Thank you for welcoming me. I know I've made the right choice

Most Welcome well said
