I have a lifestyle type of a website already and was thinking to change it to my personal name domain name. I did a keyword search on my name, it was actually in there. 56 sear

Couldn't hurt. Go for it!

Its your website, call it what you want. I don't think your name has any legal issues, and it has keywords that have traffic! Awesome!

Both sites popped up just fine for me.

Sites look fine. Cheers, William.

I am creating reviews on my website. But am confused on drop down menus. It would be a very long list of drop down menus. Would it be better to create a page where I can link r

I like drop down menus. They unclutter your menu

Try to limit the number of categories you put your posts into and only show the categories on your menu instead of each individual post.

Whichever you like better I would say/

When you have a very long list of reviews I would do 3 things
1. Add the most relevant in a dropdown on your menu
2. Create an archive 3. Add categories

Loes, I have seen sites with sitemap in the menu. Is this good enough instead of making an archive?

I guess a sitemap can give an overview. I saw the archive on multiple websites of very successful WA-ers, so I think it works

Hey Jagi,

Here's a post: http://www.eparrs.com/blog/7-blogging-blunders-you-should-avoid/ that will help you decide. Number 4 addresses complicated navigation.

Most people put reviews in their blog roll and then use categories to sort them out. Drop down menus are better used for categories of pages. For example, I have a menu item "salt water fishing" under that I have 6 pages of different types of salt water equipment.

I like to do general advice type of blogs, after how many blogs should I post a review blog.

There's no right or wrong number. I do a review of some kind after every four posts.

Authoring & Writing Content

I noticed as I was commenting today on posts by WA members on their websites, that a lot of the blog posts are written more like reviews with affiliate links. Is this something

Good Question .. great answers .. cheers, William.

Thank you for the great answers everyone. Much appreciated as it gives me something to work towards. I was posting, but not really adding an CTA to posts.

Thanks so much for asking:). This is much like the question I had a few days ago:)

When you make a post it doesn't always have to be in review of a product or service.
But at the same time you can place banner ads of relevant products or services in relation to your content matter if you so choose.

Your posting is an action, what you are now looking for is a reaction. Just prior to saying "adios" it is good to have a "CTA."

I have related posts on my posts and I also have links to other posts that I recommend they read after have finished with the current post.

If all else fails, I include directional arrows to both "next" and "previous" posts.

Along with all this, the internal links are tags to similar posts in category.

The idea of all these actions is to cause reaction from the reader and leading them to the sale by a series of funnels and opportunities. These occur, hopefully, w/o the reader even being aware.

Thank you. Good advice.

Thank you, Yvonne. I am following you now. If I can ever help, just reach out.

A post can be a review Jagi. Not all reviews need to be a page.But having a post with no affiliate links is looked at favorably by Google also

No harm in inserting links in to your Posts/Pages/Reviews/Blogs.
What you don't want to do is make it too obvious that your ultimate goal is to sell them something.
You must give people what they want and the highest percentage of your visitors will have landed on your site because they were looking for information.
This is what you have to supply them with and the link is more or less an afterthought but important as well.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Should each of my blog post be a review with a link to buy?
