Hello all you WArriors

I invite your critique and comments on my new website that is still partially under construction. Thanks

hey mikey its awesome content and too the point! cute pic of the kid being just as confused as we are with the new gadgets! lol, my grandchildren show me up all the time lol

www.scamfreewealth.com

Thanks denys.......

Left you a reply on website

Nice site, a lot of reading on first page, I agree it needs to be broke up a bit but othr wise great site nice work

OK thanks yes point well taken

Nice niche idea. In all honesty, the picture of the little kid kind of creeped me out and made me want to leave asap. Just my personal opinion...

lol not me travel it really just shows us that kids get confused also and were not so bad
unless you have a ton of grandchildren like me your not used to that !

I know what the picture meant to symbolize, but it looked more like the baby was cross-eyed than the fact that he was confused...

Oh ok, hmm I may change that then.....Don't want to offend cross eyed kids

You have obviously done a lot of research to put this site together. I found the reading to be difficult because of the layout - too much text clumped together. Definitely could use some headers and some more entertaining images. But that's just me. Great job.

Yes I am hearing that so thank you I will work on this

Left you a comment on your site.

Thank you

Hello Mikey. Good looking website. Your history lesson is quite impressive. Good work.

Thank you mackie

Already commented on blog.

Hi MikeyB, You obviously know your topic well done and give a lot of very good information, I think it would be helpful to the consumer if you broke it down a bit more I found it a bit too much to take on. I was looking at Kyle' s Belly fat... Site today completing another training and I am starting to look at formatting too and he breaks his up with lines and small chunks of information, looking at headings etc. placement of pictures etc. I have to learn all this stuff too. Hope that helps. Good luck

Thanks BrowJack, points well taken Thank you

I'd also recommend you add your site to https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/getting-started/please-give-me-feedback-on-my-website if you haven't already done so, as Members there are actively looking to give and receive feedback. :) Rich.

Hi all, is there a good plug in to develop a member area. My site offers customers some one on one work and I was wondering what the best 'sign in' plug in is...

Paid Membership Pro .. install it from admin page

ok thank you Karlo...appreciate that

Now this is a question I wish I knew a couple of years ago!

I use Wishlistmember - http://member.wishlistproducts.com/ currently looks to be $97 for a single site, $297 multi site with a 30 day money back guarantee.

thanks drptaylor ... I will have to check them out too.

Anybody know a plugin for posting to multiple Facebook groups? Right now i do it one at a time to 70 groups.

Currently (2016) Facebook is cracking down on automated posting, and no longer allows it unless you are the administrator of the group.

I'd be interested to. I think that is something that I can see on my site down the road a little ways. I'll follow what ferns said as well, and we can share what we find out.

s2member is a fantastic plugin - if memory serves me correctly it's only $70 https://www.s2member.com

Cheers
Leo

Hey Leo. I will test it out. :)

Thanks Leo....I will take a look

You can buy one from codecanyon.net . Go to the site search for wordpress membership plug in. My friends suggested "restrict content pro" is a god one. There are many and you see a video of the one you like and buy it. Unfortunately I don't recal any free plugin for that. Just another suggestion, my friend said for that membership website "Pitch" free theme from word press is a good one. I hope this helps Mikey......cheers

Thanks ferns I will look at that

Discussion Hey all Just a quick one, how do i put my privacy page in a footer. I have created a widget for footer space 1 but I dont have a widget to add a particular page. It k

Here's how I did it.
Go to appearance, click on menus/add menu (I just named mine footer but it doesn't matter), check off footer menu, select privacy policy from the list on the left, select add to menu, then save the menu. Wallah!

Hi there. I tried to do what you said, but I don't have a footer option in my menus. How do I correct that?

Sorry, I'm a newbie, wish I could help. Maybe in a few months, I'll be answering the questions, lol

I've only been with WA 3 weeks and don't have a clue what you're talking about! Soon I'll have to ask these questions!

i did it with bottom 4 one - ist in the black area at the bottom of the website :
www.calleflamenca.com

Hi - I can't find the footer area

It's theme dependent but if you go to Appearance > Widgets you should see a Footer area on the right hand side. Just drag a suitable widget into it and link to your Privacy Policy. Rich.

Thank Rich - I can only see bottom 1,2,3 and 4

That probably means your theme divides up the footer into four segments, so as to allow small multiple drop down menus. Just drag a Text Widget into the first one and type something as a test to see the result. Rich.

Thanks @RICH that worked wonders thank-you again for awesome help
Gypsy :)

In the footer widget area, drag and drop a "text" box widget. In the text area of the text box widget, type in a short html snippet that creates a link to your privacy policy. It will look like this:

Privacy Policy

Replace the URL above (http://mygreatwebsite.com/privacy-policy) with the URL of your privacy policy.

Save the information and if all goes correctly, you should now see a link to your privacy policy in your footer widget area.

ok thank you very much I will try that

MikeyB, I just looked at the message I wrote and the html code I wrote disappeared. I will send you a private message with the correct code.

Thanks divazona, I was about to come up to that "obstacle" myself!! Good to have an answer before the problem arises.

OK I got it.....woo hoo thank you

Hi,
Where do you put the url? Thanks

What is the difference between a main and a showcase sidebar

I find "dumping" a lot of non-essential legal stuff as well as Contact Us, etc. in the footer is useful. It depends on what your theme supports, but if it has a footer area in Appearance > Widgets, then create a Custom Menu https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/creating-custom-menus-in-wordpress for these items and then drag a Custom Menu widget into the footer area. Rich.

Nope I just cant get it. I have created a custom menu called footer, I have put privacy policy in there and added it , I have put that custom menu widget in footer area 1 and its still not there its listing all my site pages.

You need to select in the Custom Menu widget that you dragged to the footer area what you called the footer menu when you created it as a custom menu. :) Rich.

lol what? Rich...

LOL. OK, when you drag the Custom Menu widget into your footer and open it up you need to select the name of the footer menu you created in "select menu". :) R.

woo hoo Thank you so much Rich...ok got it....and done. Understand now...
One more thing, my second puzzle of the day...Where can I find info on changing my comments boxes to captcha boxes

I don't really understand the question, "captcha" is a process of adding a security measure to comment boxes or contact forms to prevent spam, not a replacement for them. Rich.

Aw, OK, if you want to deter spambots, you could add something simple like GASP which means a tickbox has to be checked before a comment can be submitted http://wordpress.org/plugins/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/

I was just told, to improve our sites we need SI CAPTCHA....I also have ASKIMET so do I need to switch

Nope. You can add "captcha" but a lot of people feel that it deters genuine commentators, GASP is a nice and simple option, all they have to do is tick a checkbox rather than type jumbled up letters and lose their comment if they get it wrong! You can use either GASP or SI CAPTCHA but I'd recommend using one in addition to Akismet. I think GASP http://wordpress.org/plugins/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/ is probably the better solution. Rich.

If i have understood you, you want only the privacy page on your footer page widget. You can surely hide rest of the pages. On the Page widget you have an option called Exclude. You need to put the page number that you want to exclude. For the page number you go to Dashboard- all pages - click the page you don't want, look at the address bar, in the long string u will find a number(something like post=10),just put that number in the exclude box, if u have multiple pages separate them by a comma.,,Hope this will help you.. if you need further help feel free to ask me.

You could put a link in the footer to the privacy page called "Privacy Statement" and make sure the privacy page is excluded from the menu (tick box on the edit page).

nope just not making sense this morning....All my pages are listing in the footer and I dont even have a footer widget with pages listed...

Yes it would It would be a huge help

That'll be a good feature to have.

Not sure if there is a way to do this yet, but would love to do the same...

Good question. I'll have to pass this one on to someone else. I haven't found a way to do that, because I don't think there is a way yet. Although I have wanted to do the same thing.

How To Do Keyword Research And Check Your Google Ranking
http://goo.gl/Aykofk

good video thanks, the 'whatpageofsearch...." did not find my site, it said dont bother google so I dont know if I even exist....

To check to see if Google has indexed your site, to see if your site exists in Google, do a Google SEARCH for your website URL (in the search field). Google will return everything it has indexed for that site.

You should try to have at least a moderate amount of quality content on your site before getting it indexed. It'll usually pick it up within a couple of days, but you can expedite it by submitting your home URL to the search engines by visiting:

http://www.google.com/addurl/
http://www.bing.com/toolbox/submit-site-url
http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

Just a couple of useful shortcut tips to get to the last page of search results and get the true competition and save all that clicking...
1) click View Results for a particular item if you are using the WA keyword tool - this will display the last page, or
2) in the google search results page, click on the address bar and add &start=900 to the end of the url address and press enter - this will take you to the last page
- Dave

thats a great tip thanks Doc lol

Thanks for mentioning this drptaylor, Google kind of skews it's front page results as far as how many results there actually are so you do have to double check that last page.

thank you all good info. cheers

You are looking for a keyword phrase to use as the URL of your new site (or part of the URL of your new site). Ideally, you want the highest number of monthly searches, while having the lowest possible competitors (Quoted Search Results). Personally, I would shoot for a keyword phrase with more searches per month, even if the QSR may be higher. Yes, try to find a low QSR, but make the monthly search number worth it.

To cross check your keyword phrase in Google, search the term, within "quotes", then keep clicking to thelast page until you get to the very end. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and it'll tell you the true QSR.

Check out a recent Welshy blog post, discussing keyword considerations: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/welshy/blog/keyword-search-volume-qsr-are-they-important

or his video on YouTube:
http://goo.gl/mGo5Iq

The QSR results you get from the keyword tools here shows the number of pages that are actually optimized for that keyword. Sometimes a search result of

The first figure Google presents isn't meaningful. If you search for an exact match of "christianity and cannibalism" by including the quote marks you'll see this http://d.pr/i/kjOO which shows 1,250,000 results. However, if you then work your way through to the last page of those search results you'll see this http://d.pr/i/7cX7 showing in fact there are only 90 exact matches that are relevant. You might find this training helpful https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-use-the-keyword-search-tool-on-wa Rich.

google will lie about search results for whatever reason it`s not really 618 million. But the QSR is just the exact word for word matches. There are still many others that get ranked just for being related.
