Getting Started
Updated

started a site with content and i want to delete my content and start over . how do i do this?

I changed the type of website I am making, and figured that instead of changing absolutely everything that it would be easier to just erase everything and start from new. Sounds like a lot of wasted time, but if I didn't spend time on here, I would just be wasting time anyways.

Kenneth suggestions are good for what your are needing. Good luck on your restart. I am assuming that this is a siterubix website?
Jerome

Why would you want to delete anything? You can edit everything you already have. But if you want to create a new site, there is a delete option, go to site manger, then Details, then delete this website.

Hey everyone, wanting opinions here.
I want your success and fails of "Yoast" and "All in one SEO" for your SEO needs.
Pros and cons on each. In your opinion which is bet

I've not gotten through all the training as yet so don't know if it's recommended somewhere here by WA / Kyle but if it's not then I won't be using it.
I'd rather learn click by click and make sure I'm replicating what's taught,
That's just me though...

thanks

I have recently switched over to Yoast from SEO AIO. It took me sometimes to get the sitemap right and thereafter it was a breeze. Yoast give you better feedback on your post so that you will have to keep improving the blog post until you get the button to turn GREEN. [Kelsey]

Ya we went to yoast I like how it proof reads your blog and tells you what your missing.

I also use Yoast, and I find it works well

I Keep trying to install Yoast SEO. It lets me install it but when you click detected All in One SEO do you want to copy your settings. It just tells me 'you do not have access to this page'
So as much as I would love to use it just can't get it to work.

I've opted out of Yoast now and reverted to AIO especially as that's what's suggested in the training.

I'm a firm believer of things happen for a reason. So I'm just going to stick with AIO, like you say Dave this is recommended in training anyway.

Exactly, and I also found I spent ages trying to get GREEN lights for my content, one of which was telling me my paragraphs were too long. I accepted that as true until I read one of Kyle's posts on something and realised a lot of his content has lots of lines to a paragraph, clearly Kyle knows what he's doing so.....

I and many others have had serious problems with Yoast: namely sitemap issues and de-indexing of pages.

I haven't had any issues with AIO SEO.

I been using Yoast for over a year now, stats are great. I like Toast better just my opinion

Anthony I use Yost and have had no problems so far. I like the fact that it is so interactive.

What is better? Having one large website or many small sites, that are linked together? What will get you ranked faster ?

That is good to know.

Definitely one large website. Having multiple small sites will not benefit you at all when it comes to rankings and traffic.

The WA training does not advocate multiple small sites, so there is no reason why you should be thinking this way. Look at the majority of big sites, they rank well because they are an authority in the one site.

Let's look at it this way - when you search for something, where do you go? Most likely Google. BUT if you want to find out how an email program works, you're more likely to go straight to YouTube, even if Google results point there anyway.

At the same time, if you're looking for something on Men's Health, you might go straight there and look on their site. If you find results both there and on a niche site for something like "crossfit workouts," you might go to either the niche site or the bigger site.

While Google tries to guess where you'd like to go, our behavior ultimately is a vote for what happens. In other words, your click is a vote for which site should rank higher.

well if you have more site would this lead to more traffic ? i know if you connect to another person site that google likes this.
so would google like it if i had site to link all together ? or does it matter to google cause my ip would all be the same ?

This could get you into trouble and be seen as manipulation

only very large authority sites can get away with that..

Like many things, the short answer is "it depends.." Again, put yourself in the shoes of your audience - where would THEY more likely go? THAT's what will drive Google IN THE END.

In the early days it was all about "gaming Google." With each slap (Panda, Penguin, whatever cute animal you like) internet marketers have moaned over their sore hiney's for trying to outsmart a multi-BILLION dollar corporation.

But each time the savvy and ethical marketers keep laughing their way to the bank, because rather than trying to beat the system, they keep in mind the simple rule - do what your audience wants most.

Thanks John

How do you know if you are doing what your audience wants ?

Think of it as levels - 1st is click & spend time; 2nd is engagement / commenting; 3rd is sharing / spreading word. If you're not getting to the second two, find out why and adapt.

To be sure asking "friends & family" is NOT the same as asking peers in internet marketing. But even better is getting direct feedback from your target audience.

If you done your research properly you should already know what your audience wants!

Large sites that are linked together lol

Do you mean like if i linked my site to you and you did the same ?

I have noticed on some other affiliate marketers sites and blogs that they have somewhere on their page/post that their site/page/post contains affiliate links. Is this somethi

This is news to me too, I haven't see it in the lessons and I am way passed the lessons about adding affiliate links. I would have been helpful to have added that with those lessons. Thanks for asking about this - it's definitely very important!

What is the name of that plugin ?

Thankyou everyone. I will update my posts and pages appropriately

There is a plug-in that will state that your site has affiliate links or that you get paid commission

Why would you need a plug-in to disclose the site has affiliate links? I would think it's just copy and paste like the privacy policy.

the plugin put the disclosure at the beginning of every blog post page. Not every visitor may see it on an "about me" page" or anything

But is it a short statement? And if so, couldn't you just type it before each blog post? (We are told to keep plug-ins as minimal as possible.)

Yes it is a short statement. Maybe one can manually copy and paste it on every blog page.

Which of your websites is it on? I'd like to see what it looks like.

I have one on my travel site. I'm not sure if I put one on my cats site..I'll have to check that

I went to your website, tried to look by clicking on "Blog", but then my Internet connection had a problem. I'll try again later. Thanks.

Yah that makes sense.Thanks

It's both - as others have mentioned, it's now the law that requires you to disclose this. Meanwhile, folks like Pat Flynn have grown their rabid followings by transparency above and beyond what's technically required.

Yes it is a requirement and it's also for your protection.
