Hi everyone.

I started a site a year ago and only just posted 6 times. It has hardly any visitors, maybe 3 on average per day.

Hi Luis

Welcome back!

Just remember not to change the permalink (or URL), when you change the heading - change the headings/titles only, since it would be already indexed in Google.

My opinion is also to just continue with your new ideas and add posts, the old posts will soon be pushed back by your new awesome content and since it is only about 6 posts, it is just about a good as a clean slate. ;-)

Wishing you much success, Luis!

Keep your old site and build on it, I agree with accad below.

Thank you Wahne, i really appreciate your advice

If you still like your website name and you think it carries the message you want to discuss every time you post then you can continue with it. The good thing about it is it has been indexed and the website trust is already 100 percent, when you post Google will easily index it.
If you want to have another because you like a title that carries a niche then you change it.

Hi Jimmy.
Thanks for your advise.
It makes a lot of sense to keep the existing site and to just tweak it a bit by changing content headings and keywords I think.
And then to just carry on adding new pages and posts.

You are welcome, Luis.

Google gives credit for the age of a site and one year will help in your rankings. Unless you have a good reason to start again then keep your original site.

Thanks for your reply Colin.
How will it affect my rankings on Google, SEO, etc, if I change the heading and keywords to the existing posts?

If the keywords change then obviously those keywords will not rank anymore. However this will not affect the site ranking on Google.

Keyword, Niche and Market Research
Updated

I am still fairly new at choosing keywords and need a little help again please.

Here is the breakdown of the 2 keywords - which one should I use:

Keyword1 - Avg 6

In my understanding I would choose KW1, based on good traffic and a low QSR?

Not sure if that helps. A good explanation of someone experienced would be useful!

Wayne

Hello.
Thanks...I appreciate it.

What did you decide was the appropriate route?

Wayne

The criteria for choosing a keyword that would ensure ranking by google are, over 30 avg searches,
Less than 100 QSR/Competition and the keyword should make
grammatical sense. To that end my view is that number 1 is better. This is because it has more traffic and less competition.

Hi Regina.
Thank you for your wise advise

It's difficult to say without actual words. We must think about people who will read also, not only about machines.:)

Well said, Vera!

Kyle has said this many times: we're writing or people, not Google. Obviously, we want to choose keywords that fall into the criteria that Kyle talks about in training, but even when we do follow that equation, there's no absolute guarantee that it will give us the traffic we want.

You're a wise woman, Vera.

Oh thanks so much, Veronica.This balance is difficult to reach, but this should be our goal anyway.:)

Hi! Keyword 1 here looks so much more positive that keyword 2 but I still don't understand why the SEO on number 2 would be so high when there's 50 QSR. I posted a similar question not long ago but nobody as yet has given an answer that makes sense to me! :)

Hi.
Thanks for m your input :)

I also thought that we should choose the one with the best SEO score as well.

Wish there was a formula that we could use...maybe there is?

I haven't ever taken any notice of the SEO score before - I always went for traffic vs QSR (and QSR being the most important, I thought).
Now I'm not so sure if I've been doing it right given that the SEO number seems to have a few surprises!
Still, if we just keep on going forwards, it'll all come clear with time!! :)

I like the second one.

Thank you.
That was my initial thoughts as well.
Our other WAs below seem to think that the 1st one is the one though....do you mind maybe letting me know the thinking behind your choice?

My consideration relies greatly on SEO than the others.

Awesome....That's what I thought as well.

But the other one had so much more traffic?
But I get your point.

Traffic will follow if it easily get rank in SEO

The basic criteria is QRS less than 100, over 30 traffic and must make sense.

Tried and true

Elaine

Thanks for the advise.
I will definitely use this going forward.

I would always think More Traffic over anything.

Thanks.
That's what I thought...just the SEO score is better on the last one...it made me over think.

keyword 106 traffic and only 32 QSR

Thanks for confirming that

The one with more traffic.

Thank you...it's what I thought.

I like the first one.

Thanks...I think the obvious choice is the one with more traffic.

This is what happens when one overthinks things...lol

Hi Luis, I read what other responses you received here with regard to All in one SEO. Considering how long it takes to write a 1,000 page post, I still would recommend you take the little time to put in the SEO keywords with commas, no spaces.

I just always have this fear that if for some reason my all in one plugin doesn’t work for some reason I don’t have the keywords in there. It takes very little time, so I would still recommend putting them in.

Hi.
Thanks for your advice.
That's exactly the same feeling I have.
Will carry on pitting it in.

Cheers for now.

All in one SEO is a great tool and now that we have free Jaaxy lite...invincible!

Hi Luis, if you're using the all-in-one SEO plugin I don't think you need to include the keywords where it asks for them. I've tried this myself and not putting them in doesn't seem to make any difference to ranking.

For some of my posts I've added the keywords with commas and spaces, with commas and no spaces and without commas at all and none of it seems to matter!

Others may say something different of course, but for me, I just don't bother anymore : )

I believe you are absolutely right, with the All in One SEO plugin, permalink, meta description is done for you automatically. Keyword is optional and like you said makes little to no difference.

What a coincidence, I just wrote an article about meta tags haha!

Hello.
Thank you for the advice :)

Thanks for confirming.
What's the link to your article?

I wrote it, but didn't publish yet. I was sandbagging for the 17th, but I'll publish the private one and give you information.

How many of us new members, maybe even long standing members, forget about all the other social media since joining WA?

This community and training is so awesome that I

It is definitely addictive for me! lol

There is nothing more that I enjoy helping others and helping people create businesses online.

This is s good addiction though...truly awesome what you guys have created for us...Thank you Kyle and your team!!

I hardly go into FB, Twitter, Instagram and others anymore. Personally I think most of those have become very Negative and way too Political. Not to mention the fact that they have what we now know to be the Social Justice Warrior Police. If "They" don't like what you post or believe and it is NOT to their liking BOOM, you are put in temporary Jail (so to speak).

Wow I didn't know about the warrior police.
Interesting info...Thanks.

Oh yes. If you think "They" are not looking at everything you say, do or post, well.....Believe me they are. Stay away from certain Ideals that might be considered very Political in leaning a certain way. Just look at who owns and operates 99% of all MSM

I haven't left my desk in 9 months, that's how addictive WA is for me. Social media was never my thing, but since joining WA I slowly merged into it and it's not as bad as I thought!

I have only been on my personal FB a handful of times since I joined. I don't have a business page set up yet just Google+ and I actually joined Twitter which used to scare me, haha! I joined a couple weeks ago a love it. It's not what I thought at all.

I was kinda the same.
I have accounts but hardly interacted on social media.
But now with WA my whole perspective of social media has changed...time to use social media to our advantage learnt right here on WA.

Yes, it was a big step for me with social media not really liking it but I'm telling you...Twitter is great I'm surprised it's simple like Google+. I followed Robert's tutorial for Twitter and it helped immensely.

I'll leave you the link, you can save it for when the time comes: Google+ is so easy! When the time comes and you need help, PM me and I'll give you a hand anytime.

I started very late with social media, in the lessons I took note of them but didn't join yet. I signed off on the lessons and moved on.

Patsy

Thank you Patsy :)
I'm sure that its coming up soon on my training as well. Will definitely check it out.

You are welcome!

I log in with WA in the mornings with my coffee in hand. I have come to realize (in my later years) time should not be wasted. FB and other social medias can be a waste of time. Spend time on them wisely.
With WA, you use your time wisely. You are learning a trade and growing in it.
Would love to be able to spend all day on WA. But other things in my life needs to be done.
Continue growing and learning!

Yep I agree with you.
It's all about time management :)

What's that other space... uuummmm.... FaceBook or something like that?
The other things won't train me for muy future !

The next challenge is to go to Social Media. Hope I can endure.

Yep so true.

Good for you man! You have hammered through the ranks these past few months I hope you have had awesome results :)

Well the results are still waiting to filter through I hope...but the rankings have definitely improved fairly quickly.
