WA Affiliate Program
Updated

Please inform me of any security issues and how you deal with them. I have been notified by Yahoo of some unauthorized activity on my email account.

Was it the data breach email or activity that was unusual for your account? Yahoo has advanced safety settings where you can disable access from what they deem to be "risky" sources. I don't use it because I use my default email client on my phone and an email client on my computer and this would disable them. You can also activate two factor authentication for added protection of your account.

Thank you for replying but how do I ask the site manager? Yahoo reported stolen data including passwords from 2013. This is before I joined.

You mean ask Yahoo? You don't. You take a care of it in your account settings.

I mean there is another purpose like gaining visitors to your site?

Oh?

Thanks Michael..:)

This is a community, it is to create a sub community of your own. People that you are interesting in knowing what their activity esp posts are. So you build a support and interaction network of your own. Completely voluntary

Thanks..Tyrellch...:)

On WA? No, it's just like following people on other social media - their posts will show up in your feed. That's all.

Many thanks..Boothe

Search Engine Optimization
Updated

I created my site on 29th August and it has 4 pages. So far the Google Index check is 0. I am based in Japan and using Google Japan offered in English. The website is homemusic

Type

site:homemusician.siterubix.com

into Google.

You'll see that you have a couple of pages indexed. Therefore, what you are seeing on Site Manager is incorrect.

Confirmed. Thank you.

You need to submit your website to Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools). Kyle covers this in the lessons.

Thank you. I'll try and locate this.

Hi Michael, to make sure if your site is indexed by google check steps here:
https://blog.crazyegg.com/2016/02/05/get-google-index-website

However if you don't want your site to be indexed by Google yet, put this code on the pages that you would not like to be indexed:
It should be in <head> section.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">


To be removed from search result, you should block by robots.txt . it automatically check sites and index them.
If you want your entire site not to be indexed, you need to create a robots.txt on the root folder and add below codes on it:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Don't forget to skip above steps when you want your site to be indexed by Google.

Best,

Thank you very much. I will carefully go through to see what can be done. Do you think I should add a lot more to my website to increase the chances?

Not a lot. That's good enough if u do it on a regular basis )

I'd recommend you contact site support Michael.

Site Support is only for hosting problems.

Right, but thanks anyway for your kind help, CraigReviews.

I have now created 3 pages and added some content to the site. I am TOTALLY confused. The Index reports NO after over a month. Therefore I am not getting anywhere with this. PL

Hello Michael, I do not think anyone will play games on providing advice. One thing you could do for someone to help you is to let us know the URL for your site so that we can check it out. The second thing would to make sure you have pulblished the three pages. One other question is this a domain site or a SiteRubix?

Thank you for answering. The site is homemusician.siterubix.com. I am a newbie having walked through the ten steps carefully. Please check out the site. After editing pages I click on 'update' and have already activated the SEO.I have already posted my website question five times and not had any real help at all. Is it some kind of marketing ploy to keep people here?

On your website I can see 3 pages: about me, make home music demos and privacy policy.
At the home page it says "not found". Probably you did'nt make any posts yet ?

Hello Michael, from what I understand, and I must admit I am also a newbie, your siterubix is a sub-domain of Wealthy Affiliate (WA) and as such will not be ranked by Google. Everyone at WA can see your site and as Belgensko said I can see your three pages, but the home page is not found. The site looks good, but is definitely a work in progress. The free sites are there for us to explore ways to create a website, share our passion with others and learn how to create an online business. Once you go premium another of learning and other benefits become available, including the purchase and hosting of your own domain. It is at that time when you can get indexed and ranked. Not being a techie, the only thing I can think of is that your theme might be the cause for the first page not being found.

Thank you. This starts to make some sense. I felt I was some way confused. Don't know whether my site is worth it as there are some highly respected industry sites doing similar.

Thank you. How do you make a post? Is it a kind of update? I'll have to find that part.

Hello Michael, you have to click on Siterubix on the left of the page, click on Site Manager and login. Once in again on the left side, click on Posts and add new. Once you have completed the post publish it and it should appear on your website, rubix or dot com.

OK. So it's just another page. Google index can be activated by posting?

The think to keep in mind Michael is that pages are static, while posts are always changing topic as you publish them. If you so choose the posts can be under a page.
