Hello everybody,
One more time I need your help. I'm a little bit confused about meta titles and meta description. I can see how the post looks if I go to Pro, which is
Hi Mirlay. You don't have to upgrade. Sometimes it's called a Snippet (that's the meta description). I don't remember what AIO SEO calls it. But it's the description field for your post.
Paula
thank you Paula.
Another question: to get the snippet to look like the picture attached. do I need to upgrade? would the SEO would work differently?
Here is the preview snippet from the standard version for the example that I have just shown you and it is written in Camel Case as advised by Jay in live event SEO 101
The sniper comes from the meta description SEO 101 - The Basics You don’t need pro

I have a reader asking me why his comment has to be approved. To be honest, I have been approving them without asking myself why each comment has to be approved whilre the read
Tell your reader that you have your site set for manual approval of comments so that you can respond to each comment personally and individually. No need to mention all the other valid reasons mentioned here.
Thank you for your suggestion. I like that answer and agree to not mention the main reason.
Cheers,

It's for your own good and the good of your site. Spamming is an uninvited guest that you probably won't like as you grow your niche. There are people who visit your site once and later use robots to post unsolicited ads links on your comments to send visitors to other targeted sites (like pornsites, business sites, and some pay per click links).
In essence, they use your work or site to make money for themselves in a way that google prohibits, and when google wants to punish the source of such abuse, it punishes your site rather than the real persons behind the spams.
Some spammers also use inappropriate words and contents on your site, while others are totally irrelevant and out of subject comments. In any case, you are in control of whether to approve or not. But I guarantee you that it's better to approve before than to disapprove later. Both of which are a job to do but the latter is less stressful.
Maybe, to have a bit of experience can be good. In this case, set your site to free commenting for everyone and allow this option for some weeks or months, but check it constantly to see how it looks on your site. However, the risk factor may be too much to bear if your site gets low rankings as a result. It is usually not easy to regain a lost reputation with google.
Finally, there's nothing like knowing what people write to you in a timely way. Thus, it helps you read what people wrote on your site so as to reply them when needed.
Have a great day, Mirlay.
Hi,
Thank you for your explanation. I'm not sure if I really want to try now after all the explanations and valid reasons why I should keep the comments under control. I need to learn more and feel comfortable to allow myself to try on things that are not my priority right now. Nevertheless, thanks for your suggestion, I'm sure I will try it in the future to get the experience.
Blessings,
Mirlay
So you can read carefully make sire the comment fits your article and not spam. If writing about healthy foods, you do not want comments automatically posted to your article about sports. It also teaches people how to comment by reading the entire article and not just the title of your website.
It's to help keep your site on track and focused on your niche. If you don't moderate, you're going to get all kinds of spammy content and maybe even vulgar or worse content posted.
You can turn off the moderation if you want but I don't suggest it.
Hi, thank you for your immediate reply. I kind of guess something like that but could not imagine it could be that bad. thanks for clarify.
Cheers,
Mirlay
Sadly, my sites have had such spammy comment posts. It was the moderation that saved me from having it displayed automatically for my visitors to be exposed to.

What is the best way to manage all the useful and enormous information coming everyday from this wonderful WA community? I keep finding myself looking for a way to not miss any
Hello!
One thing I have found helpful is by hitting the star located just under the title of the post (like the one by yours above :)). It will highlight it in yellow and allow you to give it a 'tag' name and save it to refer back to later!
When that 'later' time comes and you'd like to find the starred gems, click on the star that is to the right of the search bar on the very top of the page. All of your favorite pages will drop down and you can scroll to the one that you would like to see again.
I hope this helps! Let me know if I can help any further!
Heidi
Yes!! I have starred so many things....though I wish there was a forum page instead of searching in the drop down menu...but I still love that it's an option
Yes, I do as well! There are SO many things I see coming through all of the time, I just can't get through it all as it pops up.
Hi Heidi. This is definitely good approach. I created a folder in my email inbox to save the link but this tip is more efficient. Thank you! Cheers
You are sure welcome! I had the same question when I got started, so I'm glad I could share what I have learned:)
See... this is why I love the WA family. @Mirlay had you never asked that question I wouldn't even know about this star thing Heidi mentioned, and I've been a member for a good minute. Thank you both!! Great info...
This is my suggestion in order of importance:
1) Lessons
2) Live Events: every Friday
3) Today's Top 10 Posts: pick the ones you want, particularly posts that help you grow as a blogger and as a person.
If you want to read everything and don’t want to miss anything, you will be overwhelmed by information overload and you will be wasting time that you could spend on learning or writing posts.
Tom
Thanks for your priority list. Definitely can’t won’t read everything, but I like your short list. Cheers
With over a million members and a whole mess of prolific authors, I have learned that the content flow is too much to sort, just let the things you can't read yet flow past if needed and catch them up through searches based on your actual needs. I do have certain authors I check regularly such as Nathaniel and Chuck, AJ, and a few others but for the most part I search what is needed on a case by case basis and thank all of them for their glorious contributions.
That’s kind of what I’ve been thinking that I will search for what I need but only had a hand of names to check. Thanks for your recommendation. Really appreciated it. Cheers
Be selective. You can waste a huge amount of time. Focus on your own stuff and decompress with the WA communications when you take a break.
