Hi, I came across a notification where it says 'No focus keywords'
So in the dashboard, back office, where publish posts are listed, in the classic section, where it sa
You can always set the keyword in the URL and then change the title to something more punchy and enticing.
An SEO plugin is just a plugin; what would rank you is your choice of keywords and the content you write.

Thanks for your feedback Abie, in reflection I thought I was doing the right thing, but out of interest can you show me an example of what your mean please?
Hi Julia
I put the focus keyword in the title (and permalink), first paragraph, one H2 tag, and conclusion.
However, this has become less important now that Google has changed its ranking criteria.

It means that the content of your post does not match the title in an obvious way.
SEO plugins provide checklists to optimize your online publications but they don’t directly affect the way search engines rank them.

Thanks for your feedback Frank, I thought I matched everything that you mention, and through following our training here.
But saying that, I may need to remind myself how content should look, I might just ask Chat gpt, for an example, and what Abie points out too!

Hi, having added an internal link to a previous post, I found that a certain product was no longer available!, so I had to update it to a newer product to keep post current.
Hi! I see. The problem is I have too many broken or misdirected links. Not easy when dealing with 300+ articles on the website :)
You are doing fine, it seems. Thanks for sharing and this post reminded me that I need to do something about my broken links.
Hi Julia,
Because I used to face the same problem, I check weekly for broken links (as Phil also mentioned). That leads me directly to the issue, and Google loves a site without them.

Hi Diana, thanks for the links, you're not going to believe this, but in my recent post, published yesterday, 3 products are now not available!!!
It's annoying as having purchased these products to check them out and write about them, they are gone!
I have messaged the advertisers to see if they replenish their stock, otherwise I am going to have to update yet again!
This brings me to maybe just have an open promo and generalize everything, or close to my content, and once gone it's gone!
So fustrating!🙆
So, I checked both links you refer to, and both show no broken links, yet I clearly do have some.
How does it work, am I reading it wrong?
Have you use either link-checkers and have any worked for you?
Hi Julia,
I always check the sites with the two recommended links. Both show broken links, but deadlinkchecker.com also shows other types of errors.
I checked the websites today, earlier than usual, and one had broken product image links. It rarely happens that I don't have a broken link or an error from week to week. 😁
So I don't understand how it doesn't work for you.
Hello Julia,
That was bad luck. I believe it's frustrating, but expect all kinds of surprises. To stop feeling that frustration, change your mindset and go on the premise that the website must be informative, and then the percentage with a focus on sales.
If the products are no longer valid, or you cannot find similar products, change the article to refer to the brand's products in general.
I don't know your niche, but I try to find as many evergreen products as possible to promote.
Thanks for the screenshots. Does it also tell you what post or where to go and make corrections ? Sorry to be a pain🤦🏻♀️
Hi Julia,
If this is the case, it always shows you what the error is and the source. Each case is different. You have to click on them and see where it takes you.
But to get familiar with all of this, you need to put it into practice, to get your hands dirty as Eric always says. 😉
is it worth trying a broken link checker plugin to scan all links and see whether they are broken...
one plugin is broken link checker by wpmu dev - never used, but says it can scan automatically...
whether it will detect amazon taking you to a different link i don't know...
Hi feigner, good to hear from you ! Hope all is good at your end! Sounds good I'll look into that. 😊

Can one be alerted if products are no longer available?

Hi, I am an affiliate for two kids toys companies, and I discovered both do some of the same products, though one sells them at a cut-down price.

Hi Julia,
Great question! Promoting the same product from multiple sources, especially if one offers a reduced price, can actually work to your advantage as an affiliate marketer.
Here are a few thoughts on the matter:
1. Offering Value to Your Audience:
- If your goal is to offer the best value to your audience,
promoting the same product at a lower price makes sense.
People are naturally inclined to go for the best deal, so
highlighting the reduced price could improve conversions.
2. Transparency Builds Trust:
- If you decide to promote the product from both companies,
you could be transparent with your audience by mentioning
the different price points. This builds trust, as you're
showing you're looking out for their best interest.
3. Avoid Confusion:
- If you previously promoted the product from one company
and don’t want to make major changes to your content, you
can still update your post by adding a mention of the new
option. For example, “I recently discovered that [Company B]
is offering this product at a reduced price.”
4. Affiliate Disclosure:
- Make sure you’re disclosing your affiliate relationship with
both companies. As long as you’re clear about the fact that
you earn a commission regardless of which company your
readers buy from, there’s no issue promoting multiple
sources.
5. Amazon Considerations:
- While competition like Amazon is always present, many
people prefer purchasing from trusted affiliate
recommendations. If your content is well-written and
demonstrates why these specific companies are good
choices (even with the competition), your audience will likely
trust your suggestions.
In short, it’s perfectly fine to promote the same product from a different company, especially if you’re offering a better deal to your audience. As long as you stay transparent and keep the reader’s best interest in mind, this approach could actually enhance your credibility.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions!
Best regards,
Arisara
Hey Arisara, thanks for your feedback, appreciate your time and effort to answer, and you highlight alot of useful points, especially No/3
Avoid confusion.
I was concerned that I was not jeapordising my position with an advertiser, by promoting same products with company B.
But good point, I may just go back and update so it's fair.
(appologies for the delay to respond, I haven't had a chance to check in until now!)
Think of your visitor first. I would provide them with the best value (deal).
Remember people will come back and buy from you again if you treat them right.
