I just checked up some old posts and I wonder if this score is harmful. The latest update of the All in One SEO plugin says at all my posts and on all my websites a 0/100 score
According to my experience, AIOSEO is a disaster. In some of my websites, I lost traffic, connections to the google analytic, etc., etc.
I have been trying for a few days to solve what is possible to solve
The last few days I have a feeling that it is not easy to survive in the online world. 😉

I actually got rid of my All In One Seo plugin about a month and a half ago. I no longer use any SEO plugins. They really aren't needed in my opinion (after doing some research on it). Google doesn't need them and is smart enough to do the work those plugins use to do for itself.
I didn't lose any traffic or rankings. Matter of fact since the last Google update, my traffic is up. I also got rid of my Page builder and redid my site using only Gutenberg.
well seo plugin only helps to follow guidelines for seo. If you know them you don't any plugin, of course :)
The AIOSEO score is a guideline. If the post was published on Jun 28, 2020, surely Google and the other search engines have visited that particular post by now and ranked it accordingly. Personally I liked the AIO SEO change so much I went for the paid version. Very impressed so far. The AIO SEO plugin has been updated a few times in the last few days, so they are fixing bugs etc. Your 0/100 score means that you have not edited that post since this functionally was added. Edit the post. Add a space, remove the space to update the post and see the score change.
Well you could select their "suggest a feature" option and suggest that they have an option that updates all those scores.
Go into your WP dashboard, select plugins. Select the AIO SEO plugin - there is a "suggest a feature" link. Click that and make your suggestion.
Good luck.
Don't trust tools like this, I only use SEO plugins to determine how my content reads not for an SEO ranking factor.
There is no guideline for SEO.
There are a core set of rules but they do not come from plugins.
Every niche is different.
But what do I know....I just run an SEO agency.
Example:
I have ranking pages on position 1 through 5 on page one from search & my All-In One scores aren't great because it really doesn't matter.

Hi all, I hope you are doing alright :)
I want to link to this page of Wealthy Affliate official website

Can you tel
Hi, Loes... a very creative profile, by the way. I feel like I just took a real quick trip to the Nederlands. ;) I enjoy how descriptive your writing is and how passionate you are with your businesses.
So, if you look up on top of your post here, there's a rectangle box that reads affiliate and a little chain link next to it. Whenever you see that anywhere in the platform, just click it, and you can copy your affiliate link for that particular page or post.
I'm aware that it's been a while since you posted this question, but I figured it might help someone who catches your post in some search results.
I didn't see those links right off the bat either, so I hope this helps someone.
Dan
Thank you, this was a link to the official WA website, not to this platform. So without the my. to refer to.
Anyway, I have figured this out:)
What you have above now is correct, and as Dale mentions, the following will also work, which is also the format that I prefer to use.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/join/ a_aid/ a1753160
If you also want to link to a specific automated message campaign, you can also add that on to the end as well, which would then look like the following.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/join/ a_aid/ a1753160/msg/1
And if you add your link in different locations, either on the same page, or different pages, and you want to know which link was clicked on. I.e. If you have a link in the first paragraph, in the middle somewhere, and at the very end, and you'd like to know which one was clicked. You can use Tracking Links, so the above would end up looking something like the following.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/join/ a_aid/ a1753160/msg/1/data1/link1

I've just noticed that your 2nd link above goes to www instead of my, which is ok, the join page on www redirects to my.
Hope this helps :-)
(You will need to remove the spaces from the URLs above)
Yes that'll work fine.
When you use virtual directories to pass data (such as /a_aid/ID) they pass the data to a querystring in the background using something known as a URL rewrite.
All that's happening is rather than using a rewrite, they're now using a redirect - so it's the same thing, only you now see the final destination in the URL, which previously only the server could see as it was "rewritten" behind the scenes :)
But in short, yup - all good lol :)

I just received this unclear email from Kyle, about account authorization, sender address kyle@wealthyaffiliate.com
This must be a hack.
Me is Kyle???
Hi Loes, DeniseAS just wrote about this as well. Wealthy Affiliate Scam Email - Don't Fall For It Definitely, have a scam going on!
Cal
The thing is, I have never received an email address from Kyle personally, its always the official Wealthy Affiliate address with Kyle and Carson's image at the bottom. Its why I think it's not his but someone impersonating him and created a fake address.
This is Kyles email address, I know that, I have had previous email contact through this address
Did you check the actual email headers?
Emails can be spoofed to look as if they come from a specific email address when in reality, they came from somewhere else.
The full headers will reveal the true journey the email took.
I've even had spams that appeared to come from my own address in the past.
Its most likely someone impersonating Kyle, in the message you received, click on the small arrow beside where it says 'to me', there it will give the actual email address the message came from.
It's probably masked. I receive emails to my mailbox from spammers using what looks like my own email address.
Phishing for your info maybe..
Stay safe out there! Kyle usually pm through WA so I’d stay away from it.

Good afternoon Loes,
Well, I am happy you found the solution. This does not mean that Google has improved, what a shame.
Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske
I am so glad I found this solution, at the moment I can fully devote myself to your guest post :)
Hey Loes, does your Google analytics ID number show in your all in one SEO? Maybe that could be the problem?
Also, maybe one of those boxes where checked in your all in one SEO under Google Settings, Exclude users from tracking.
There was no 'dislike' button to push!
This happened to a friend last year and, I read everything from "did you disable pop-ups, use a different browser" to "sign in incognito mode & did you use kaspersky" (I've seen only a few get issue resolved with these "work-arounds" even in this years forums)
I didn't see a clear fix for any of it and, I think my friend had to go the slow rote too contacting google.
I haven't used it yet but, I think they have live-chat available now in support. (You'll probably need sleep before you deal with that at this point!)
Bummed this happened to you, you need rest!
Praying for a swift resolution!
I'm glad I followed your thread.
I guess the "use a different browser" was the sweet spot yay!
Did you figure it out yourself with this workaround before the almighty Google got back to you?
Heehee weird, inquiring minds want to know!
Anyhoo, the important thing is, it's fixed!!!
Go Loes!
Hi Loes, I totally empathize with your situation with google Yes they take forever to respond. I spent most of the night with site support last night and haven't been to bed yet trying to resolve google problems. I was using a desktop and it almost went out the window, it's chances of survival was on the edge. If it could read my mind.
I know at times that the problem is not with the computer or the user and rests totally on, in this case google.
I wish the situation is resolved soon. You are one of the smartest women here Loes.
Michael
Thank you for your compassion, my husband just said, I thought you would rest your case, I just can't... and yes, my laptop is trembling of fear...
You are awesome Loes. Let go for a bit, I know it is frustrating but re-group have a chat with your husband. NOT ABOUT COMPUTERS. Planning on any holidays this year. It is spring here but the wind may knock down my roof. Should I take a chainsaw to it. I do like it and the birds that sing on it's branches. It is not in my hands Loes. I know the wind will die down, the leaves will start to grow and the birds will sing. I just got to let go for now. Something I am considering with WA. I won't quit just take a break, but I want to conquer these problems and I want to do it now. In this frame of mind I know I will not be able to resolve or conquer anything.
I'm not sure but, the "De-Indexing" bug that affected Google last week may possibly be the culprit.
For a while - and for some as yet unknown reason, Google was de-indexing MANY pages last week. This lasted about 4 days and supposedly was fixed last Thursday.
However, TODAY (about 4 hours ago) Google has announced the "bug" continues to cause issues with Google Search Console stating that what you see in these reports may not be accurate.
Here's the article: https://searchengineland.com/de-indexing-bug-hits-google-search-console-reports-tools-315427
I hope you are able to get this all sorted out!
Susan
Thank you, I have no problems with Google Search console, and it's not about the data displayed on Google analytics, it's my admin access what isn't working, I can login, but I do not have admin permission
An excuse for them to continue showing MSM site results when I search for information that should return alt-media sites. Disgusting traitors! Not to get off topic.
Hi, Loes sorry to hear about your dilemma have you try contacting them? I guess because of all the hacking going on they are just using precaution so you can relog in to reset your password, maybe?
Or confirm it is still you.
Yes, sure, I used every opportunity, do you have a direct email address for me?
I can log in, and did that several times today, that is not the problem, my websites are there too, and verified, I just lost my admin status for some dark reason
No, I don't but usually, it's the same URL the one you can't log into. I hope you get it resolve.
They sure are frustatrating, I am on this from 8.00 this morning, and still no luck, it's now 20.00
I am just about ready to throw my laptop through the window
Google, company no #1, how hard they make it talking to a specialist, it's impossible to get someone over there to help you out, that makes me so mad
It is normally your email address and should be easy to remember. If you don't remember the password, you can ask them to resend it to you.
I understand, I have my Analytics account for over 4 years now, I always login automatically, never had any problems, and now, all of a sudden, they say I have no user access?
You are not alone. They do this regularly. That is the reason it is always better to use your usually email address.
Some time ago I had something similar on all sites, had to verify ownership again. Not sure why this happened but I just repeated the procedure. One half-abandoned site is still with the warning that it is not verified. Check how it is under Webmaster settings.
That was my first idea too, so I re-verified my verified website, but that didn't help, and I re-connect my connected website on Google search console to Google analytics, that didn't help much either
I see, if so, I have no idea why this happened. Sorry Loes. It seems we will be learning something new based on your trouble. I guess somebody will have some idea.
I hope so, I need that access, I have joined an advertising company and they want to track down through GA.
But I can not create a new user.
I don't recall how many times I "sighed" today

Text is crumbling, videos are in black and white.
Am I ready for a new computer? Or is it a browser problem? Is it my video card?
Does anyone know what could be the
Loes, if you by now haven't found the culprit who is causing the issue, try to do a "Reset" go back to a point in time where everything was running okay, perhaps a couple of days ago?
Your files will be saved but if you have installed new software etc this will be not there.
I have done this in the past to solve an issue, I once had. Just a thought.

As others have stated, start with virus checks. Do a complete scan even though that takes more time.
If no viruses are found then try hooking up an HDMI cable (which you probably have with your television), from you computer into your television. If the video on the television (or other computer monitor if you have one) is working, it's not your video card. Obviously, if it's doing the same thing as the computer screen, then the culprit is likely to be your video card.
I would also try to update your Display Adapters (using Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Device Manager). Scan for changes in those drivers and update them as necessary.
Make sure you have all the Windows Updates installed. Check to see if the optional updates include changes to your graphics drivers. Check the website of Acer and your graphics driver company to see if they are reporting changes to the BIOS or firmware. Ask them for help on how to upgrade this if they have made changes.
Best Regards,
Jim
I changed browsers to check these issues and when I use Firefox, I do not have any of these problems, so, I think it's Google Chrome
Did you clear the cache on the Google Chrome browser? Also, try deleting the files in your temp drive. In File Explorer, you can enter %TEMP% and it will bring you directly to you temp drive. Sometimes, programs put locks on files in this directory and don't release the locks. When you reboot and delete the temp file it frees up that file. It's a long shot, but worth a try.
It's odd that it's only happening on the chrome browser. Try disabling the extensions and add-ins to see if there are any changes.
Agreed. There are only so many hours of the day and you have more important things to worry about. :)
No problem. I was hoping it would have led to a solution, though. One last thought is when you have time, uninstall Chrome completely and try to reinstall again.
Best Regards,
Jim
Sorry to hear 😑. Looks like techhound had some great tips... But in my experience it doesn't look good.
Loes, As you know, I am certainly not a computer expert, both my son had identical Aspire 17. We both had the same problem. Both were a little over two years old, Tommmm111 certainly knows his computers, I did everything he said plus I checked for updated drivers. Then I took both of them to Best Buy Geek Squad, ( we don't have a lot of choices in Spokane,) They charge close to 100.00 for each computer, They went back to normal for about three months. Then the motherboard died in both computers. I should have bought new units in the first go round. All I did was waste my money. In the end, I found a computer guru and had two computers built.
Sandy
This is the third time I have heard about Aspire 17. I believe the brand has a problem. The individual who built our new computers started as much. I feel someone who creates a computer to suit your individual needs is the best way to go. I will never go back to store brands. My son has completely different requirements than I do. His unit was set up to meet his needs. The price was only about 50.00 dollars more than I would have paid for a name brand. But changing computer files was no fun, I used a bridge cable. Hope this helps
Sandy
Hi Loes, I'm not an expert but it's kind of acting like a virus, not sure. I've always run Malwarebytes and that works really well. Won't leave a link here because of spam. You can Google it, there is a free version. Hope this helps!
Cal
Yes how old is the PC and mainly does it run good? You might have a feeling for your PCs health?
tom
People mention spyware concern but it looks mostly like graphics. You probably need to have a shop or pro look at it hands on,
Have you run your anti-virus software?
What browser are you running?
if it was me I would run through this checklist in this order to determine what the problem is
1. Run antivirus software
2. I would look at the pages or videos in a different browser. If the problem doesn't show up in the new browser then your current browser is the problem. You can try to see if you have the latest browser running. If you can't I would delete the browser download it and start again.
If the problem is showing in the second Browser I would check in the third. If it's in none of those that it's not a browser problem.
3. I would go to another video site. So for instance, if you are looking in YouTube then go and have a look at them you. Is the problem still there.
4. if the videos are still showing in black and white it Still could be a browser issue especially if you're not using Flash player.you should disable hardware acceleration.
Google Chrome: https://www.technize.net/google-chrome-disable-hardware-acceleration/
If you're not using chrome then Google how to do it in your browser. Also Google videos showing in black-and-white in Microsoft edge or safari to see if there are any other reasons.
I don't want to overwhelm you with too many things at once, but if this doesn't solve the issue and you want more help please feel free to PM me
I did a virus scan, no problems, I scanned on Browser extentions, virus and malware and performance issues.
I have checked videos on Firefox and the are in color, also the inbox is normal, no problems there.
I use Google Chrome, I do now chrome://settings/cleanup and it looks like this :(
Hi Loes
Do you have a good cleanup software program? There are many available, if you use a anti virus program they may have a clean up download.
I use a free one but at the risk of spam don't want to lis it here.
I fix many issues with a hard drive scanner, before I contact a techy.

I run AVG free on my computer, I deleted last week the McAfee antivirus program, do you think that's related?
Computers get temp files jumbled at times. These are files of every website you have ever visited. The program I use deletes these files and lets your computer sort itself out.
I will pm you.

I’m an IT Analyst and this looks like video card / cable or video driver issue. Not a virus , and probably not a Windows problem . Can you try another monitor ? Also try changing the resolution .
Ok so its a Chrome issue. Does this only happen within WA? There has been a recent security issue with Chrome, your issue could be related , check out this article I found:- https://inews.co.uk/news/technology/google-chrome-update-how-latest-version-bug-vulnerability-hackers/
Good morning, I know, but I thought the issue with Chrome was mostly with Windows 7, and when you updated the browser from Windows 10 it should be OK. My Chrome browser has the latest update number. It was quite late yesterday, but I will uninstall Chrome today and re-install again, and see what that will bring me.
This appears in my mailbox and at WA, but I have seen it also in Google translate

Question for computer experts, everything is showing wrong?
Text is crumbling, videos are in black and white.
Am I ready for a new computer? Or is it a browser problem? Is it my video card?
Does anyone know what could be the
Loes, if you by now haven't found the culprit who is causing the issue, try to do a "Reset" go back to a point in time where everything was running okay, perhaps a couple of days ago?
Your files will be saved but if you have installed new software etc this will be not there.
I have done this in the past to solve an issue, I once had. Just a thought.

As others have stated, start with virus checks. Do a complete scan even though that takes more time.
If no viruses are found then try hooking up an HDMI cable (which you probably have with your television), from you computer into your television. If the video on the television (or other computer monitor if you have one) is working, it's not your video card. Obviously, if it's doing the same thing as the computer screen, then the culprit is likely to be your video card.
I would also try to update your Display Adapters (using Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Device Manager). Scan for changes in those drivers and update them as necessary.
Make sure you have all the Windows Updates installed. Check to see if the optional updates include changes to your graphics drivers. Check the website of Acer and your graphics driver company to see if they are reporting changes to the BIOS or firmware. Ask them for help on how to upgrade this if they have made changes.

I changed browsers to check these issues and when I use Firefox, I do not have any of these problems, so, I think it's Google Chrome
Did you clear the cache on the Google Chrome browser? Also, try deleting the files in your temp drive. In File Explorer, you can enter %TEMP% and it will bring you directly to you temp drive. Sometimes, programs put locks on files in this directory and don't release the locks. When you reboot and delete the temp file it frees up that file. It's a long shot, but worth a try.
It's odd that it's only happening on the chrome browser. Try disabling the extensions and add-ins to see if there are any changes.
Agreed. There are only so many hours of the day and you have more important things to worry about. :)
No problem. I was hoping it would have led to a solution, though. One last thought is when you have time, uninstall Chrome completely and try to reinstall again.
Best Regards,
Jim
Sorry to hear 😑. Looks like techhound had some great tips... But in my experience it doesn't look good.
Loes, As you know, I am certainly not a computer expert, both my son had identical Aspire 17. We both had the same problem. Both were a little over two years old, Tommmm111 certainly knows his computers, I did everything he said plus I checked for updated drivers. Then I took both of them to Best Buy Geek Squad, ( we don't have a lot of choices in Spokane,) They charge close to 100.00 for each computer, They went back to normal for about three months. Then the motherboard died in both computers. I should have bought new units in the first go round. All I did was waste my money. In the end, I found a computer guru and had two computers built.

This is the third time I have heard about Aspire 17. I believe the brand has a problem. The individual who built our new computers started as much. I feel someone who creates a computer to suit your individual needs is the best way to go. I will never go back to store brands. My son has completely different requirements than I do. His unit was set up to meet his needs. The price was only about 50.00 dollars more than I would have paid for a name brand. But changing computer files was no fun, I used a bridge cable. Hope this helps
Sandy
Hi Loes, I'm not an expert but it's kind of acting like a virus, not sure. I've always run Malwarebytes and that works really well. Won't leave a link here because of spam. You can Google it, there is a free version. Hope this helps!
Cal
Yes how old is the PC and mainly does it run good? You might have a feeling for your PCs health?

People mention spyware concern but it looks mostly like graphics. You probably need to have a shop or pro look at it hands on,
Have you run your anti-virus software?
What browser are you running?
if it was me I would run through this checklist in this order to determine what the problem is
1. Run antivirus software
2. I would look at the pages or videos in a different browser. If the problem doesn't show up in the new browser then your current browser is the problem. You can try to see if you have the latest browser running. If you can't I would delete the browser download it and start again.
If the problem is showing in the second Browser I would check in the third. If it's in none of those that it's not a browser problem.
3. I would go to another video site. So for instance, if you are looking in YouTube then go and have a look at them you. Is the problem still there.
4. if the videos are still showing in black and white it Still could be a browser issue especially if you're not using Flash player.you should disable hardware acceleration.
Google Chrome: https://www.technize.net/google-chrome-disable-hardware-acceleration/
If you're not using chrome then Google how to do it in your browser. Also Google videos showing in black-and-white in Microsoft edge or safari to see if there are any other reasons.
I don't want to overwhelm you with too many things at once, but if this doesn't solve the issue and you want more help please feel free to PM me
I did a virus scan, no problems, I scanned on Browser extentions, virus and malware and performance issues.
I have checked videos on Firefox and the are in color, also the inbox is normal, no problems there.
I use Google Chrome, I do now chrome://settings/cleanup and it looks like this :(
Hi Loes
Do you have a good cleanup software program? There are many available, if you use a anti virus program they may have a clean up download.
I use a free one but at the risk of spam don't want to lis it here.
I fix many issues with a hard drive scanner, before I contact a techy.
If you want PM me and I will give you the one I use. It is free.

Loes, thank you for sharing, I must admit I was confused and thought I must have somehow missed an important email and was going to dedicate some time to understand more about this new feature... seems you have done some of that work for me..
👍😁
My pleasure😀
