Do WA Servers automatically block the following IP addresses from leaving comments on our websites or is this something we should do?

I just received an email from WordFe

I just received a response from Site Support saying that we can add the above to our Disallow Comment Keys Box.

See following for instructions.

I'm interested to learn more.
Thanks for raising the awareness.

Received a response from WA site Support. You can check out the instructions we wrote here for your website protection.

We submitted a ticket to Site Support and received a response.

Here's what you can do.

Thank you for bringing this up.

I'm checking with Site Support. That's probably the best way to get an answer.

Here's the response from Site Support and what you can do.

Thank you.

You are so very welcome.

That's a good question I would assume it would be done automatically but you never know hopefully a tech will put us right.

I know WA has a lot of server security so am thinking they would too, but we shall see.

Did you ask support about this? If not, you can submit a ticket

Rudy

That would be a good idea. I submitted a ticket.

Great! They will let you know. I received the same wordfence email. Hadn't checked until you posted this.

Rudy

I read yesterday that Europe has been having issues with data breaches so are really being cautious.

Yeah, GoDaddy was breached big time...

Rudy

Here's my blog Rudy

Ah! Thank you.

Sure...you're welcome!

When WP plugins like Mailpoet state you can have up to 2000 email subsribers free, is that count per website? So feasibliy could I have 10 website using the MainPoet plugin and

if you sign up with individual accounts for each site then yes...
looking on google the limit is 1k you wil lstill get subscribers but you are unable ot contact them...
have fun
phil

Oh Okay thank you.

have just noticed they have a mailpoet 2 and 3 with different features
so worth checking their terms

Yes.Thanks,

no i don't use it - i picked up an early copy of mailingboss with an unlimited size and lifetime licence a couple of years ago and tend to use that...
it's ok ..not hte best but usable...

So if you could do it over again, what would you choose? Besides Autoreponder.

Have you heard much about SendInBlue?

i would look for easy integration into wordpress - until just recently mialingboss was not known in wordpress ...now it has a plugin for integration...
i do have a mailerlite account and that seems pretty usable...but not tried other ones
concentrating on learning hte skill of copywriting...once progressed then will be branching out more into the email pages
i have found hte transition form engineer to salesman a difficult one...but getting there...
i would go with an external to wordpress autoresponder, but at present wouldn't be able to advise on the best one..
i do know that some don't like the mmo niche
but it is a new field for me to learn...
creating campaigns is a bit like story telling or long running soaps...you need to leave it that they are looking forward to your next installment...

Thank you. I am not used to the "campaign style of MMO.". It seems to salesy,, but I get the point of it..

the main thing is you need to plan them...
sort out the information you are going to give away and the offer that goes along with it to help them implement it or improve their lives or business.
with newsletters and email campaigns you cannot effectiveltly do them adhoc as they will not flow one into the other and people will wonder why they subscribe...

might be worth looking at email subscribers and newsletters plugin or mailpoet to 'practise ' with until you get more comfortable with it - you can set it up on a test site and use other emails from your other isite to create a list....
don't let it distract you from creating content though....

I would agree that it takes a lot of time to figure out when a new article that will more likely bring results could be written.

We don't often look at the Amazon Affiliate Commission Rates For USA, but we just looked today and it looks like the Rate schedule has increased after the lowered rate due to t

Amazon never goes back up. They have "special" rates for "special publishers", but not for the general affiliate community.

Also, don't even begin to think that they decreased those commissions due to Covid. They made money hand over fist, so much they can't even figure out what to do with it all. And In the midst of all that, cut affiliate commissions as well.

Amazon treats their publishers like dirt.

Thank you for your comments.

Hi George, as far as Amazon increasing their commission rates for their associates, I do not think there have been any changes.

Amazon.ca

Thank you very much for all of the information. I see a lot of new information.
Very helpful. Thanks, Michael

You are welcome George.

I can't see the change either.

Great! Thanks for confirming

Hi - I can't see any change. Do you think its all categories or just some of them?

Most of the category percentages.

Well, the category that includes lawn & garden which relates to one of my sites is still showing as 3%, and previously had been at 8%.

OK thank you.

I don't currently use Amazon US, only Amazon UK. Do you have a screenshot of the current schedule you could share with us all? I might be tempted to expand into the US if they have indeed gone back up :-)

I've just found the schedule here, and they don't appear to have changed since they were lowered last year.

https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/node/topic/GRXPHT8U84RAYDXZ

I was thinking during Covid-19 most rates went down to 1%, though I don't follow them much.

Thank you :-) From what I remember, as I don't use Amazon US, is that they went from 8% down to 4% for most categories, with others going as low as 1%.

Hopefully, someone who uses Amazon US can confirm 100% for us, but I don't think they have gone back up just yet, if at all.

Here in the UK we still have some higher commission categories, you can find the schedule below for comparison.

WA Affiliate Program
Updated

I am looking for two banners. I checked profile banners and found none.

Where can I find the following?

1) Premium plus membership

2) Comparsion of Premium t

Great question!

HI, you may actually promote the Join page where it lists all three tiers as people can now join directly.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/join/

You may also want to see below related blog post

Thank you VERY much. Just what I needed.

Good information!

Hey George,

Not sure why you would want a banner for the Premium Plus version until you've had your potential members sign up for the free Starter membership first and foremost, to show them what WA is all about... and, to provide them with an honest viewing BEFORE they invest in themselves.

Just a thought...

Hope you find this helpful.

PS: If it is that important to you, you could create your own WA banner:

Thank you. I definitely have my personal reasons.

Today when I was looking for products in my niche I came across two Affiliate Programs completely new to me.

Do you know anything about Shop Style or Reward Style Affilia

Going from experience - if you are not familiar with them, neither will the general public so they wont convert for you. I tried several in the past like this that did not convert at all. What does convert much better is household highly recognized brands that the general public know and trust already. That is my opinion on it anyway. Best way is to google their reviews and see what happens....

What it looks like is they market several brands and they are an affiliate network.

No i never heard. Are they good?

I am going check them.

Let me know what you think.

Never heard of them.

I am curious if anyone know about them or has used them.
The website I found it on talked about using both Amazon and Rewardstyle..

Hi George, never used them but thanks for mentioning them as I am going to check them out.

Best wishes,
Michael

Let me know what you think after you check them out.

Thanks

Okay.

Will do George

Never heard of it, look forward to replies.

Is this the best category to place the question to get replies?

I think yes, I looked up the questions in the WA Affiliate Program category, that's really relates to the Affiliate Bootcamp.

So I think it is fine.

Anyway if members have ticked to receive new questions in their notification settings will receive an email and a link to this question.

Thank you.
