I'm trying to find out more information about my Amazon account.

It would be really helpful to know which one of my links or pages are going to Amazon to make the sale.

Great question, Jim. Thanks for asking.

Hey Jim,

There is a forum on Amazon that you can ask this type of question on: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/how-can-i-see-how-many-people-have-viewed-my-product/131030
Discovered that when Google searching your question.

Adding tracking to your pages might help. See screen print search results below...

Hope you find this helpful.

That video looks good. Thanks!

Thank you Trish! I'm checking out the video.

You're very welcome Monica, and Thanks for letting me know that this helped you too.

Hi Trish.... You're welcome...that Amazon forum is excellent 🙏.

Have a Blessed rest of the week.

I've seen a couple of great websites that have a quick 2 sentences About Me description with a small picture at the bottom of every post.

Is there an easy way to do this

Good comments

I'm glad you asked that question, Jim--there seems to be some good answers--a lot of neat ideas that I can learn from!

For identity theft purposes, I don't put my picture in website pages/posts but I do use a logo and a statement that requests comments.

I usually just copy and paste them from one page to another, except for my landing page.

Barbara

You can add an Author Box. There are a few plugins that you can customize to add a short about me at the bottom of your articles. :)

Paula

Hi James,

that is accomplished in your back office area ~ User description my friend.

Tony

I've already have an About Me page under User+Your Profile, but I don't see an option to place an About Me box at the bottom of posts.

I see how to rename a list, but can a keyword easily be switched from one list to another?

Hi! Capture all you got there and start all over again using the guidance given by Zach. Cheers!

Click on your List name
Check your Keyword box
At the top it says Save to List
Click Existing List
Pick your List
Hit save
I hope this is what you needed

That’s what I thought should happen. And that would make sense. When clicking on keyword While on the keyword search tab the “save to list” option shows.

But when clicking on Keyword in Saved list tab, “delete keyword” option shows.

Man I have been trying to get it to do what you're saying is happening. I did it under the keyword list and search but it's not doing it. I moved all my my keywords to different lists and back again. I am sorry I couldn't help you with your problem.

It just won’t do it under saved lists.
Thank you for checking it out!

Search Engine Optimization

I decided to get Yoast after watching Jay use it on the 12/13/19 webinar. So far I've learned how to use it, but unsure about a couple of things.

Jay put the key words

The alt tag is technically to help the blind to know what the image is about if they're using a reader of sorts. If we're using alt text for the primary purpose, then we'd add more information there than only the keyword.

Jay does that because of his experience with it working to gain rankings. I think you should probably be somewhere in the middle. For example, I try to add the keyword but explain why it's relevant to the text in my alt text. Play around with it, and see what works best for you.

I don’t have yoast but Jay did place key word
Interesting
TIM

I'm pretty new to this, too, and I upgraded. I must say that I'm REALLY glad that I did. The suggestions that it gives are really good and you can learn a lot from Yoast.

Sorry, that's my only contribution. I'll be watching for others to answer your other good questions.

Enjoying yoast so far. can anyone clear up some questions?

One thing that I don't recall from keyword training is the different ways that they can be used.
For Example:
"what is WA training" vs "what's WA training" are these the

You should read more on "latent semantic indexing" and you'll see that the search bots are becoming more sophisticated. You can also play around with Google to see that when you type in a search query, they rank exact match, phrase match, and they have ways of scanning content to see that it's relevant. They rank more than exact match keywords, but it's still a best practice to make sure your target keyword is within your content as taught in our SEO training.

They will all work but which one makes the most sense for the content you plan to write?

Hi if I were you I'd use "Wealthy Affiliate Training" for better results. I just did a google search for the keywords you presented here and that turns up as WA (the abbreviation for Washington State).

Yes you could use any of those keyword combinations, as long as they make sense. Hope this helps. If you're still not sure please reply.

if you put in
shiny green coat
in the search engines you get every site which as shiny in the meta tags and every one -that includes green and everyone that coat.
when you use "quotation marks" it has to be those words in that order.
"what is WA training" vs "what's WA training" are these the same? not the same
"what are the benefits of WA" vs "the benefits of WA" then the benefitsof WA show up in both because the words are in the right order in both. hope this makes sense

Thanks for clarifying that.
I was just using quotation marks to show that it was an example. I Haven't actually needed to do this, "yet".
So what and what's are seen as different keywords.

The second part makes sense also. However, I read that longer keyword phrases can be better and more specific, but this would mean the shorter phrases within them would show up more in more searches?
