I need to verify my domain name with Google. Google have provided me with a google-site-verification html code. Does anyone know whereabouts on my dashboard I should go to in o
Which Google are you referring to? Google Analytics or Google Webmaster Tools? For GA, here’s how Google Verification Using All In One SEO For GWT, you can use the alternate method and choose GA since you’ve verified your website with GA.
Hi, thanks for responding to my question. I'm referring to Google Webmaster Tools. I think I may have just worked it out? I went to All in one SEO/General Settings/Webmaster Tools/Enter your verification code here to verify your site with Google Webmaster Tools. However I have already set up Google Analytics and placed verification code on my website as per Kyle's video. Does this mean that if I have already verified via Google Analytics I do not need to also verify via Google Webmaster Tools? Thanks.
GA and GWT aren’t the same. So, if you’ve verified with GA, you’ve to verify with GWT as well. When verifying your site with GWT choose the alternate methods – Google Analytics. Here’s how Setting Up & Verifying Google Webmaster Tools

Hello WA friends. So my blogs has been live for about 6 days now. I've published 4 posts. My stats indicate that I've had 148 views so far with 5 returning visits. So how am I
That's a great way to start! It's probably some clicks from WA people and some clicks from you. You can stop tracking your own clicks with this training: Stop Tracking Your Own Clicks in Google Analytics 6 days isn't very long, so it's unlikely to be organic traffic, but you have your site up, tracking installed, and can investigate your stats. That's HUGE progress in just a week!

I've done some further research on my current Niche which is beauty and skincare by visiting several beauty blogs and here is what I've found. Whilst some blogs provide a lot o
I think look at all the top websites in your field and see what they are doing and do the same?
Quality. I'd rather read one really in-depth well written post about a product per week or month than have a post every day/alternating day and have it be shorter and not really give me much information.
It is also important to note that google these days tends to like longer posts I don't want to quote you an exact word count since there are differing opinions. With beauty I think pictures would do exceptionally well, especially before and afters (if possible).
As a novice to beauty and skincare (I'm a novice) I like youtube videos; and I think they would work really well in your niche. Either making your own or linking to others. (Did that make sense?)
-Just my thoughts
Thanks Nicole, that is fabulous advice you have provided. I'm definitely taking it on board :-)
Quality reigns > thus content.
That said, your niche is perfect for adding pictures that capture attention and add value. You should be able to find a lot of nice ones on the CC0 image licensing sites.

Hi Fran, thanks so much. I've never heard of CC0 image licensing but I'm looking them up now :-)

How often should one post on their blog? Do people post daily or just when they have fresh interesting helpful content? I'm wondering what is an appropriate frequency?
It depends on your subject matter, your audience and your capabilities. Whatever you decide, you should stay consistent. So if you decide that your going to start with one blog post every Monday, make sure you post every Monday. Choose a schedule considering your current time constraints/life situation. If down the road, you can post more frequently, that's OK.
I just did some studying and came up with my own schedule for my launch. I'd love your feedback. I'll post it in this class in a few minutes.
Posting frequency isn't really a real factor in ranking. However, posting often means you collectively have a ton of content that adds up over time. Posting every day vs every other day vs once per week wont' make you rank better. But posting every day means you'll have 300 blog posts at the end of the year and posting every week means you'll have 50. The difference matters in that case!
Thanks Nathaniell that does make sense. So what you are saying is that the goal is to have a ton of content and how you achieve this is irrelevant e.g. whether it is daily or weekly etc. You need to build enough quality content for Google to be crawling and and ranking your website?
I mean there's a balance of quality and quantity, but yes, more content on the web can help you for sure. If you build that foundation of content on your website within a couple months or couple years, depends on your posting frequency.
According to the training here, three times a week is a good pace to build your website. Once you have established the website, once a week will be enough in Google's eyes to keep your website current. Every day is not necessary. However, you are actually better to post once a week and post a great article with good content rather than to try and post every day and not post good informative content. If you focus on quality over quantity you will do best.
Definitely everyday because people will look at your blog at different times and they will see your posts are 'happening'
This has been my experience the more often I post the higher my rankings on google get. I don't mean hassling people through publishing to their emails all the time, just that it can be searched on the net at different times to get a wider audience.
I think when you have gained enough traction you can cut back and also when you get too busy you will only be able to post once a week...but while you have the time.........
I hear you but I only have a handfull of blog posts done over waaaay too long. lol. But they all rank on the first page for their relevant search terms. This is beause they are over 1500 words long, relevant and provide quality information. I have 1,200 visitors a month from just four blog posts targeting low competition key words done over about 4 months. Yes I need to ramp up the pace but I belive quality is your main factor.
Very true quality is always the main ingredient....quantity with quality gets the sales.....look at McDonalds advertising, you can't blink without seeing them. For children McDonalds is more famous than Santa. There are many ways to skin a cat you have to work out what works for you.....publicity is what everyone needs for success.

I've entered the same keyword into both Google Adwords and Jaaxy but I'm getting to very different results. For example, when I put the keywords 'beauty care' into Google Adwor
Different keywords will yield different results. There will be quirks to each one, and none are right all the time. If you are following WA's training, I'd stick with Jaaxy, but it doesn't hurt to check the keyword planner for verification.
When targeting keywords for your site, sometimes numbers don't even matter. Good info is what counts! But If you are thinking of buying a domain or investing money into a niche, it doesn't hurt to check multiple sources before pulling the trigger.
Thanks Nathaniell, great advice! Since posting my question, I've realised that Jaaxy considers the number of competitive websites for this particular keyword is high and therefore it rates the keyword as 'Poor'. I guess that makes sense. Perhaps Jaaxy gathers its statistics from multiple sources and thus the figures will differ somewhat from Google. Just my guess!
Yes, Jaaxy uses multiple sources, and also considers competition when rating a keyword good or bad. You are correct!
