I created my Affiliate Disclosure as a post. I put it under Privacy Policy in the menu.
But, now it is showing in the middle of my blog roll.
Is there a way to rem
Your affiliate disclosure should only be a couple of lines, for example, Amazon's is "We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to http://Amazon.com and affiliated sites." which can easily go in the footer.
If you're thinking about the FTC guidelines, they are only that, guidelines and have no force in law, so can safely be ignored! :)
Your affiliate disclosure should be a page so follow Loes's advice and use the plugin or copy and paste from the Text tab (not the Visual tab) so you get all the formatting.
According the the FTC you should declare your affiliate status above or near the actual affiliate links. https://marionblackonline.com/affiliate-disclosures/
Yes, I understand you don't like it there, you can do that with the post-page switcher plugin when the post is indexed
When the post isn't indexed yet, you can copy the content, put it on a page and delete the post
To see if it's indexed you type in your browser
site:http://yoursitename.siterubix.com
you can see which pages and posts are indexed by Google
Do not worry, as you continue adding posts, it will be pushed from the home page.
But you can make it a page (there is a plugin for this pTypeConverter) and then not add in the main menu, instead you can make a link to it in the sidebar or foobar.
In any case, it should be visible somewhere.

Are we supposed to add the bonus to every post in the WA review website?
I am not quite sure if it is only for certain posts, or if it should be tacked onto each post on the
The bonus Kyle is referring to here: Offering Bonuses the Easy WA is on the one page only.
Are you aware that Kyle states:
"To be quite honest, WA converts very well by itself. People come into the community and realize that there is no other service comparable to the premium membership out there, so it converts." Offering Bonuses the Easy WA Just a thought...

I received a promotional pm from a WA member, to sign up for a free marketing plan. Is this soliciting? I thought we were not supposed to do that here?
I received it too! I was a little put off by this! Does anyone know what this was all about?
Yes it is! See the spam rules below which are something that Kyle/Carson designed to prevent a member from soliciting others through some type of promotion. Spam is a NO NO! .
What happened to you is a definite violation of rule #1. Having it happen to me previously, I just reported what this person did as spam - PatsyC previously posted her comment as to where this button can easily be found.
There's no need for you to have to put up with that unprofessional behavior coming from any WA member!
I thought it was spam, now I remember reading the no spam info, I just thought i would check with the community.
This happened to me before but I used to delete them.
I wasn't aware of the 'spam' option at the top left of the message drop down menu.
I also unfollowed them.
Hey Judith. Yes, it's completely against the rules, in fact that one is #1 Spam is a NO NO! Just forward the PM to Kyle and he'll deal with it. :)
No probs. It's really important that he's aware, so that loads of members don't end up getting scammed or believe it's OK to solicit other members to ponzi and pyramid schemes, etc. It can proliferate really quickly and cause a lot of bad feeling within the community especially if members start losing money!!

I have been getting comments with either no url or the url does not work. I always intend to return the comment. If there is no url, am I supposed to try to seek them out? I
Are you talking about the 'email address' or the Website field in the comment sections? You will get a lot of comments from people that don't have websites, so a URL is required. If you allow 'pingbacks', the person leaving a comment on your site will get an email with your reply, just as you get an email when someone leaves a comment.

That makes sense John. I am still mostly getting comments from within WA, but eventually they will be organic.
Hello, Judith,
Are you talking about comments in the comments you might provide to someone's website in site comments or a URL that someone might put in the discussion where we are now? The reason I ask is that someone supplying the correct URL is absolutely critical in this business. It's the same as putting the proper address on a letter or package. Wrong address, wrong delivery. If the URL in site comments are inaccurate, that person has a problem.
At this point if someone doesn't give you the proper URL, you can only respond and ask for the correct URL. Whoever would send the incomplete URL will certainly appreciate being advised so they don't make that mistake where it could cost money.
Now I need to ask: Are we permitted to put URL's in this discussion area?
Hope this helps. Cordially, David
I should have been more clear: When I request a comment in the give and take section, sometimes I get a comment from a fellow WA, and they have not included their URL and/or it has a 404 message, or I click the URL and it goes no where.
I am new, but in the event that the comment was organic, I am not sure I should be trying to seek them out.
