Just looking around. I have checked out Shutterstock, Pixabay, and iStock. Shutterstock seems the most promising, I guess.
Hey Jonathan,
Personally, the ONLY premium image platform that I trust is Dreamstime.com.
Those related to Getty Images, in any way, I avoid like the plague, due to the law firm suing so many users over the years.
If you fail to read the small print many of those sites you mentioned, the law firm will sue you, and no matter where you live in the world, that law firm has so much control that they destroy businesses who fail to pay their hefty fine.
Hope you find this helpful.
I use Unsplash.
I have the app so I check on there first.
Pixels is ok but I do prefer Unsplash personally.
I usually buy bundles of picturcredits on Appsumo on Depositphotos whenever they have an offer.
Hi
I use Canva. 9 times out of 10 I can find what I am looking for. I have the pro version. Very well worth the extra cost.
Hi - I either use Envato, which is a paid option, but it does have over 8 million high quality images.
Or I use AI to generate my own.
Hi - yes, it's very easy, I recently wrote some training on it. Using Bing Image Creator
Sometimes you get good deals with Appsumo, like lifetime stock photos license at incredible discounts.
Not sure how to use Appsumo either. Is that the same as the software that you add to your wordpress platform?

What's everyone doing for premium images for your websites?

Hi jmatos,
It's great to hear that you are exploring premium images for your website. Shutterstock is definitely a popular choice among many website owners. Have you considered other options, such as Adobe Stock or Getty Images? They also have a wide range of high-quality images that might suit your needs.

Hello, how do I change the image displayed when I share a link on facebook?
Or even when sharing directly from my blog post by pressing the social icons?
I tried se
in each post when editing it you will be able to add an image for facebook and twitter right down under the post in the seo area...

I think this will work, thank you so much! 👍 I saw that section earlier today.
I need to take the next few days off, but I will get back to working on my website next week.
Celebrating my daughter's sixth birthday, and going out of town. :-)
that's no worries...
it is easy to miss this as it is on a tab rather than obvious...
but glad you found it....
Happy Birthday to Jonathon's Daughter
I hope you all enjoy....
This worked out perfectly. Thanks again!
My daughter's birthday worked out great too. Although I got sick in the process. Not covid, but some other cold symptoms. We are all better now though.
that's brilliant it worked...
not so good you got sick, but glad you are better now...

you can use it as a pick me up as well...
glad your daughters birthday was good....
Hey Jonathan,
Which SEO plugin are you using?
Are you using the Block Editor or the Classic Editor?
The answers to those questions are needed before we can really offer you the help you seek, else we'd need to write an entire post trying to help you.
Thank you. I am using AIO seo, and I use the block editor. Let me know if you have any more questions. I really appreciate any help.
You may need to setup your AIOSEO plugin as shown here: all in one plugin setup v4 - the new interface and in his training tutorial, Phil even shows you where, under EACH post that you need to complete the Social Media settings too, in order to get the image YOU want shared.
This allows you to use a completely different image than your featured image if you wished. You could even use a DIFFERENT image on Facebook than is shown on Twitter.
Hi
If you use AIO SEO , you may go to your social tab and edit from there.
https://aioseo.com/docs/setting-a-default-image-for-facebook/
Thank you so much for the quick reply. I went through the information, but it I still haven't resolved my issue.
It shows me how to set it to the featured image, but that just does not work for me. I don't want the featured image displayed at the top of my blog post.
I was hoping to be able to have a few options of a few different images displayed on my blog post.
I used to be able to do this when I was using a previous theme. I have since changed my theme to the Generate Press theme. Which is recommended in the training.
Any other ideas?
Thanks for the follow up. Probably at won't be able to work on it until Monday. I'll keep you posted. 😀👍

Hey Jonathan,
Maybe try Google searching "site:link-goes-here" (without the quotation marks, of course). Think this SHOULD work for you.

I noticed the stars that websites put into their meta titles specifically to rate reviews. These are star ratings. They're usually located on the meta title or meta description
Hey Jonathan, there are different ways to put rating stars on your blog. The easiest one could be using following plugins:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/universal-star-rating/
They're free and user friendly. I've not tested them yet but it will probably can be use in meta titles too.
I also saw some blogs which used separated stars images as rating stars and these images all available all around the web. So it can be another possible way.
Hope it'll be helpful for you )
Best,

I have been going through the ringer at Google Adwords! They are telling me that I can't have any affiliate links on my website. I removed just about all of them but now they'r
I would honestly contact their support. There are MANY people promoting products and services through affiliate programs on Adwords, but Google can be very fickle at the best of times.
Call your account manager and see what you can do. Also, you may want to try using "masked" Pretty Links for your affiliate links and see if that helps (on your review pages).
Typically in the past, Google hasn't liked "bridge" pages within Adwords, meaning that if you send people from an ad to a page that is pure affiliate marketing, you tend to be denied. It should always go from that landing page to a review where you typically can have affiliate links.
Update: It worked! I simply masked all the links with pretty links and all my ads have been approved. :-)
Hey, to better utilize pay per click, what you should do is to create another landing page to collect emails before leading to your actual website. So that you won't have this problem as you mentioned and you can collect their e-mails at the same time.
Try an alternative like Facebook fan page posts advertised on Facebook Pay Per Click. I have seen blog posts advertised in that way through fan pages (boosted posts). But then, try to limit the number of affiliate links to just a few or one only.
Yes, in my previous businesses (I was a network marketer before I join WA). But haven't tried it yet with Wealthy Affiliate.
Caution: Pay per click systems hate both affiliates and network marketers, that's why you have to make the affiliate links to the least possible. Also, use less words that pertain to "affiliates" or "affiliate marketing".
