I'd like to know if you have used webtexttool or not? If so, does it help your site to get higher ranking SEO? And what do you think of that webtexttool? Pros vs Cons?

I often recommend it to those who want to abandon Yoast, and switch back to AIOSEO. it's a lot better than that plugins on-page seo feedback. You can sign up for free if you want to try it out. https://app.webtexttool.com/#/register-free

Ok, thank you

No probs. you're most welcome! :)

I have not use webtexttool yet

It looks like an interesting alternative especially with the heavy monthly drain that Jaaxy Premium will require (about 1200//yr). Here are alternatives!

I know that a lot of WA members are still confused here since the ranking system messed up already this afternoon. I know I saw Carson's recent message was posted.

Hi Joyce,

Your new ranking is correct, there is nothing left processing. Please have a read of my official post on the update below: Carson

Ok, thanks.

What is the deal with my ranking, 85984, is this a mistake or a joke, I need an answer please. Perhaps you should do away with this ranking business and replace it with something better. I really do not want to be ranked after all I pay to be here.

A real confusion indeed.
The big question for me is:
As to what date did they apply the new algorithm.

Yes I'm agree with you and I would say someone who arrived months ago couldn't be at a better rank than someone who arrived years ago

One of my referral, only 15 days here, not yet premium, no questions posted, only 1 blog posted, only 2 comments received. He is already around 4000. Better rank than Joyce.
This does not make sense to me.

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about. I mean we could about it for days but I won't change a thing. But that's weird for me.

There was a google panda type update to the ranking system. Carson just recently wrote a post about it. Check it out there.

I got it, thanks :-)

I don't know what really happened. I know there is a new ranking system but i can't understand how someone who was in 1000/1500 position could be an ambassador. ?

It is really very confusing. Members moving up by 2.8k for example and members moving down like Joyce.

Yes even if it's a new algorithm it's very surprising actually.

Indeed very surprising.
Are you happy with your new rank?

I lost maybe 10 spots so that's not a big deal actually. And what about you ?

I dropped from rank 7 to 79.
So sad.

The new system should NOT have been applied to our past behaviors. My feeling is that it's unfair.

Applying the new system to our new behaviors make more sense to me.

Well, we have no control over it, what can we do.

My drop is 127 points from the Ambassador rank. I can live with this, OK.
But my big question is how the amount and quality of help is being estimated? If this is the machine, how can it be judged, if these are people, which is not probable, how they can cope with it?

I have great knowledge and experience with algorithm, including testing of same using white box testing and black box testing methods as well.

Algorithm is my favorite, I teach to my students. Without knowing the details of an algorithm, I can predict its output and behaviour if I spend sometime with it.

So my feeling is that there has been lots of "what if analysis" with the ranking algo (for some reason that I don't want to mention) together with some human adjustments.

I may also be wrong.
So forgive and forget. Tomorrow I shall not talk about it.
The issue will be dead and buried.

Cheers,
Usiba.

Yes, I agree with you, Usiba- dead and buried. But I am happy to have learned you are such a great profi- now I will know who to trouble if I get deeply stuck.It still takes being a teacher to explain things to others, or a person with the teaching instinct.
Cheers!
Vera

That's a big drop for sure. I mean that's it so I'll accept it but it's strange though

Be my guest my dear Vera.
Happy to have you on the same boat.

Hey Joyce,

Some say that works ... others disagree. All I can suggest to you is to try it on a few posts to see if it works for you.

I bold words to highlight important words for the reader. It makes text easier to read.

If it improves SEO then great.

Hi there,

I stand to be corrected but, I think it certainly did make a difference in the past. Whether it makes a positive difference today would, in my opinion be unlikely.

Personally I would be reluctant to make a conscious effort to bold or italic my keywords because I think Google could flag such actions a keyword stuffing.

I see... Thank you for your advice. :-)

I cannot able to clear off the keyword search history, have you or anyone cleared off the keyword search history?

Unfortunately, I cannot find any answers through WA se

Hello my friend,

Go into my keyword list
Check on all individual boxes that you want to delete.
Next click on delete selected.
Let me know if you got it.

Unfortunately - no, it does not work. I deleted all keywords where I saved in my lists, but the keyword search history is still there...
