Hey, wondering if anyone can help me with something. I am trying to insert an image and have aligned to the right around text. I used to do this in the WA editor before publish
Hi - I don't know if it's still possible, it's not something I would do.
I always keep my images in the center, as otherwise, the formatting may not look right on mobile.
And if you ever plan on having ads on your site, it's easier for the ad network to place them if your images are centered.

Hey guys, I seem to have lost the ability to link to previous posts within Wordpress. HaveI clicked on a setting to make this happen? I'm trying to find the 'Link to older post
thought it may have lost it in the latest wordpress...but it still works here - it does take time after you start typing t oget the list to come up...
i tried both classic and block editor....
i take it you are working on your site...
Have you changed anything with your website lately, with your theme or a plugin? Did your theme have this feature within?
You may use CBX.

Hi guys,
Merry Christmas/ Happy New Year!
I'm about 2 months in with my WA experience and really happy with how my site is coming along. No traffic yet, but I'm
Your website should have 70% informational and 30% posts with commercial intent.
Typically, you would want to leave your review posts to marinate in the search engines before adding affiliate links.
There's no rule as to how many affiliate links, as long as it is kept discreet, simple, and relevant.
Hey Mike,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! It's awesome to hear that you're two months into your Wealthy Affiliate journey and making strides with your site. Kudos on focusing on content—it's the backbone of any successful online venture.
Now, diving into the world of affiliate links, huh? Exciting stuff! It's great that you've already incorporated some into your product reviews. That's a solid start, and Kyle's training is indeed a goldmine for guidance.
Adding More Affiliate Links:
Certainly, you can ramp up your affiliate game by strategically placing links in your content. It's not just about reviews; you can naturally embed them in relevant blog posts. Think about how a product or service you're affiliated with can genuinely enhance your reader's experience or solve a problem they might be facing. Authenticity goes a long way in building trust and encouraging clicks.
Review vs. Content Ratio:
The balance between regular content and reviews is a bit like finding the perfect marshmallow-to-chocolate ratio in a s'more—everyone has their preference. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but consider maintaining a mix. Reviews provide direct affiliate opportunities, while regular content keeps your site diverse and engaging. It's a sweet spot where both can complement each other.
Quick Peek at SoundJunkee:
I took a spin through your site, and I must say, it's got a cool vibe! Your passion for audio is evident. Your product reviews are informative, and your content is engaging. One suggestion—consider sprinkling some affiliate links organically within your informative content. For example, if you're talking about the best headphones for a particular genre, link to those headphones through your affiliate program.
Interactive Element:
How about adding a "SoundJunkee's Top Picks" section? This could feature your favorite products, complete with affiliate links, creating a curated space for your audience.
Engaging Your Audience:
Encourage readers to share their own sound experiences or ask for recommendations. Building a community around your passion can naturally lead to more engagement and, potentially, more affiliate clicks.
Affiliate Disclosure:
Remember to include a clear affiliate disclosure at the beginning of your articles, as per FTC guidelines. For Amazon links it should reas something like "As an Amazon Associate, I may earn commissions when you make purchases from my links". It should say on the amazon affiliate fine print. --- It's like the "ingredients" list for your content.
So, Mike, keep rocking the content creation, find that balance between regular posts and reviews, and sprinkle those affiliate links where they make sense.
Your journey is just getting started, and it's looking like a symphony of success for SoundJunkee! I especially like the background of the page, it makes it look like "music" to my eyes... Or should it be ears? Hmmm,
In any event, Cheers my freind!
Thanks for the quick response mate! Appreciate your ideas. I like the 'top picks' thing. Would I do that as a new menu do you think and just include my favourite reviews? One more question about affiliate links - can I have them on every page, how many per page? What is the best balance?
I'd say you put a "top picks" as a new menu category. For example, on my website, I dedicated a category under my menu as a "best and top rated", so any article I produce that has the top 10, or the best something for something, goes there.
As for the affiliate links, Spread them out. Don't go on every page, as that becomes too spammy. This is noted in training as well. As a rule of thumb, 2-3 affiliate links per every 4-5 articles written (at least that's my own personal mantra). Sometimes more, sometimes less.
It's all about what you feel the customer needs and if you can add an affilaite link to it.
Another thing, if you already have the "article" or "product review" with the affiliate link, and you reference that product again, just backlink to that article/product review in the current one or next one you decide to write.
Should get you by...
Cheers!
Thanks again. Sorry one more question. When you say 2-3 affiliate links do you mean that literally? Like only place the link once per page.
I've only used affiliate links on about 5 out of 20 pages so far, but on those pages I've pasted the link 4 or 5 times. is that too much?
It depends on the length of your article as well. But I feel you shouldn't worry too much on how many at the moment and grow your business first. For what you have so far, I wouldn't change it. Spread throughout is great....every other line, not so much!
I will wait and see the GREAT answers that you get, Mike! It seems to change a lot right now!

As suggested.
Jay's live webinars Getting Started with the Block Editor Converting Old Posts to the Block Editor
I was not a fan of the block editor at first. But like anything the more I used it the more I liked it.
With the block editor you have far more flexibility and tools to create your content then with the classic.
Also eventually the classic editor will no longer be supported such as updates and maintenance fixes.

Is this something that's needed on any website with affiliate links? Not sure if it wasn't in the training or I maybe missed it? Saw this when googling but I was unaware ...
It should be clearly visible in the primary menu. Disclosure is typically a page.
You also need a shorter disclosure as close as possible to the first affiliate link in a post, either above or below the link.
For Amazon, it has to say "as an Amazon Associate I may earn from qualified purchases" and this has to be directly above your first Amazon link in post.

Yes it is needed…you have been given some very good advice and guidance here…let us know if you have any further questions.
-Mike
Yes, you need it. Both because it is honest, there is a rule about it here in Europe, and if I understand right started in part of the USA too.
And, your readers get more trust.
Basically you need to have a statement (disclosure) to specify that you get commission by companies whose products you promote on your website via affiliate links. It’s a legal requirement and you must have this as one of your pages ‘affiliate disclosure’.
There is training on this too so maybe you’ve missed it. Hope this helps 🙂
Yes, assuming your site has affiliate links, you should add a disclosure page. It is covered in the trainings, in the part on how to build out your website. In the Online Entrepreneur Certification training, it should be in section 2.
