I can register domains via WA - already with my free memberhip. (Just can't host them, then).
In case I go Premium, then perhaps need to take a break (or stop entirely) with

Thank you Digger. Unfortunately this is only accessible for premium members. (And I am looking for the information to make the best decisions about domain(s) before signing up / hosting domains at WA).

I am looking to register and host a domain solely for my various affiliate links, and place each of these on a separate subdomain with forwarding to the real site.
E.g. my W

This sounds like a complicated way of doing an easy task. Just use different posts or pages instead of subdomains.

If you really want subdomains you can check out this video I'm not sure what the limit would be for the number of subdomains you can have here.

Thank you for feedback.
I am looking for a solution for those situations where I don't have a site/page/post about it or do not wish to go via such. But directly from a link (in an email, social media, forums, banner etc.) to the destination.

And anyway, even if going via or linking from a page of my own, I would often prefer to also use such a customized/shortened link, and not a long ugly link with IDs and so on. (This is what I refer to in question 2).


I cannot access this part of the site manager yet, but from your video it does seem like subdomains in the Site Manager are only meant for hosting webpages. I didn't see any forwarding mentioned anyplace.
But thanks for showing.

Perhaps what you need are Pretty Links

Thank you - this might aid in question/scenario 2 at least.
Still seeking to find out about the "basic" domain management and forwarding (independent of WP) but I of course can't access the training material for that yet, so it's a catch 22.
(But the first video you posted made it look like subdomains can only be set up and attached to a website/page (with or without WP) - but that forwarding is not possible).

I've seen it in recommendations here on WA (ie. start out with 10 articles of 1000+ words and 2000+ words on the front page). And also heard it mentioned elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't had time to look into the details - but I am glad to hear that it doesn't seem to be that categoric reg. the length.

I have heard that as well. But... I have had Rankings on page one and only a few long articles had 1,000 words

Hey,

You see, Google's purpose is to give users the best content on any given topic. So content length doesn't have much to do with being able to index properly.

As SEO expert Brian Dean said: "Content with more words can cover a wider breadth and are likely preferred to shorter superficial articles."

Researches also show that longer contents have more chances to be on top of Google (image below).

http://blog.serpiq.com/how-important-is-content-length-why-data-driven-seo-trumps-guru-opinions/

Of course, long contents is just one the the renowned 200 ranking factors Google uses to rank it's content. To find out if your content is just lengthy or epic, Google also takes in account the popularity (social shares, backlinks) of your article as well as your domain authority (i.e. a new site vs established brands like Lifehacker).

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Anh

You can rank to the top page in Google with 300 words equally well as with 3000 words. I have examples of both.

There are only statistics about length, but those might be based on some false argument, see here in my training:

Why are 1000 words in article length needed?

For those of you who got through the learning jungle and is having mature content and are getting steady income of some level - how does your day / life look in terms of operat

You never stop learning! Marketing, funnels, creating products, videos, blogs, promotions... There is so much to learn, but it is a hell of a ride!

Yeah I know it is always a quest to get better.
But there is a big learning curve in the beginning, where everyone is fumbling around.
I am curious how is "daily operation mode" once the hardcore learning and setting up is done. Ie. when you reach some steady and sustainable traffic.
Is it then mainly adding content - or is it necessary with a lot of ongoing tweaking, for SEO and so on?

I would say that it is mainly adding more content. I do go back over my previous posts and tweak them, but this is mainly for reader appeal rather than SEO. There are always little tweaks you can do on your site, but I would say that personally my main tasks would be, finding keywords, writing content, sharing on social media, managing comments, engagement on WA, creating videos and further training on marketing, building an email list and personal development.
Working with a schedule is the best way to manage tasks and eliminate overwhelm.
I always set goals every 3 months and review what's working what isn't, what to do different etc.

Thank you John. It gave some more idea about the substance of daily operation. I was unsure if there would be constant tweaking of things in order to keep the ranking, besides adding content.
Also - if driving traffic with paid ads needs constant adaption or it is repeatable once a recipe is found.
(I mean, besides the need to always refine what we do).

Are you researching more keywords every time you write a blog post? To rank it best possible? Or you have a list of go-to words that you always try to hit?

Paid ads is still a work in process for me, very mixed results, so I am still working on a willing formula.
As for keywords, I use Jaaxy, and generally by putting in a search term, I can come up with quite a few different keywords I can use and add them to a list, then I will do a post using one particular phrase and build my post around that.

Have you been scammed or over-sold when trying other stuff than WA? (I see scams being mentioned regularly but not really what. I am new to this area so I just wonder what is g

I've bought products to make money online. I always find that as soon as I buy the product they try to upsell you another product. Why would I need that second product if the first product does everything it promises lol, I'm always been disappointed when I've bought these products and not made any money. I've never been disappointed with WA. It's great value. I wouldn't have been able to set up a website without WA and I'm really happy I found it.

Yes definitely. Even a lot the platforms that allegedly teach you to be a successful online entrepreneur turn out to be scams. I've seen a few as I was first learning Internet marketing.

There are certain characteristics to look out for with these scams. Frequent upsells, promises of instant success, limited time offer - are all common characteristics of scams.

Thanks. The limited time offer is a widely used marketing/closing technique, though.
But I agree, if it is very dramatic or put in this way about "this top secret method offer that you have to act on NOW before it is gone forever" etc. then it's just someone trying to make the buyer to a very reactive decision, instead of informed and proactive.

Another good tip I saw was about "blind offers". If they keep you in complete mystery but still upsells it with big promises and so on.

And of course the ones who promise surefire 6 figures a month and are still hustling webinars from their kitchen. Why wouldn't they employ someone to promote this fantastic product for them, while they are busy blowing the money they make themselves, and living the life? :D
