I want to speed up my website load times and I am wondering if there is something like this on the course. I have been google-ing most of the tips on how to do this but it seem
Minimize your plug-ins, absolutely. Make sure all your photos are under 120 Kb. Actually try to get your photos that are in your posts under 40 Kb and keep your really nice photos or your homepage photos under 100. You can also get speed booster plug-ins as well as cache plugins. Throw your website URL into one of Google's speed page tester. Here, This one will work for now.... http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/
You can also go to pingdom.com for a free 14 day trial add your website and it will measure your uptime and tell you what is slowing it down.
Don't add too many plugins. This does get mentioned in the training. Too many plugins can slow things down.

How do other websites rank so quickly? I went to search for my keyword using Google and I saw this article created today. It is already in the first page. No comments or shares
Many factors could come into play -- Was the article posted on a particularly large or well-known website? Might it have been linked to by a number of large, authoritative sites?
A site's established reputation will have a large impact on how well (and how quickly) its new posts get ranked.
Yeah it is on a popular website. So once my site becomes popular it may happen to me too I guess?
While it certainly *can* happen, larger, well-known sites do have an advantage in getting ranked quickly.

Everyday, I get an email saying that somebody just made a new training. I know that I can go to the link for that specific training but is there a place to find them all archiv
No there is no archive for training - one way is do a search for the training you want, once found make it one of your favorites and then you can create your own archive.
To make a favorite simply click the start beside the blue gear - create a tag and then it's in your favorites
I dont really know what to look for and hoping to find something that will benefit me if I go all through them.
Placing them in my own favorites is a great idea too. I'll just try to search what I need in the future I guess.
thanks for your help!
Thanks for a quick reply! I was looking at that earlier and saw some questions - maybe that is why I didnt bother looking into it for more.
thanks!

When I use SERPs.com to check on my Google ranks, I only see posts and none of my pages. Do they rank in Google or not? I am not Indexed yet at this moment, so I dont know if i
Posts tend to rank quicker but pages are great for evergreen content as they can stay in the rankings a very long time. Posts are more short term
