I'm Really Impressed
Recently, I was in a downward spiral, like Alice falling down the rabbit hole! I couldn't stop until I got to the bottom - and heck, it wasn't fun down there!
I'm one of these people that panics easily. Nuts. I was just about ready to do some permanent damage to myself (kidding!), because I failed Google's test for Responsive Web Design for mobile devices. I didn't know anything about this, but instead of asking questions first, I hit the panic button, wasted a lot of energy, and became depressed when, after searching online for responsive web design, I thought I'd have to take an entire course just to fix my site!!
Well, I finally did post a question and got all kinds of great answers. I didn't have to panic. It was very reassuring, and I just want to thank everyone who posted to that thread, because it really helped me to get over that hump.
I was really impressed!

Panic can be a great enemy. But at least you and I are in the right community. We always have avenues to resort to in case of need.
Hope everything has been sorted out Mike.
Thanks for sharing.

Dearest Mike!
Believe me, we have all been there at one time or another in life and in this virtual techno-tronic maze of endless things to learn!
Remember, Google does not own you and is not fully human...even if he or she is ocasionally somewhat cranky and obstructional!
You may have the solution to my problem on your less than perfectly mobile optimized website...I won't care about that metric....I will just care about the solution!
I understand that ultimately we want all of our websites perfectly functioning on PC and Mobile...for conversion maximization and monetary gain!
But please please please do not let Google's fickle nature and ever-changing algorhythm chang-i-ness affect you negatively ever again!
WA-ers always have your back!

PS I perused your Blog Post Titles....very to the point and appealing!
PPS Read your Bio regarding your desire to have the financial freedom to travel! You will get there...start your travel blog now....consider it to be very Niche Specific and use your past travels stories and pictures and info to start! Then get monetizing!
I wish I could have someone with successful experience look over my site with a critical eye as I feel similar to this.
I have reached out to those I would really like a helping hand from but have had no response.
I guess we simply carry on rewardless ...
There is a website feedback thread, however, what we really need is some of the experts here to be willing to look at our complete site, including WordPress. Because I for one, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Jim
I know what you mean, I've had the same trouble myself. The thread that Kyle has doesn't work for me. I've written about this before. I've posted requests for feedback, and despite giving feedback to others, I think I only got a couple of returns, if that. So I'm always grateful for any help, and I empathize with your plight, Bald Eagle, because I've been there and the only thing I can figure from this is to use social media.
Don't carry on regardless, Bald. Don't give up.
I have tried the feedback options and I get a lot of nice compliments about the site.
Great feedback if it is aesthetics that I am concerned about but I would like different type of feedback.
Everyone keeps saying add content.
Well back in the day when article marketing sites were around I must have written well over 500 articles and sales were a trickle.
I really do not want to write another 500 articles if they are headed in the wrong direction.
But woe is me I guess we all have to press on ...
My friend, if you had 500 articles on a blog roll site and each one had its own specific keyword or words and they were of good quality, you'd be killing it in today's system.
Jim.
I think I might have to take a look at those responses Mike. I was scoring high in Google and Bing and my mobile site speed was great, suddenly it's all changed and I'm scoring badly and Google and Bing have forgotten I even exist. Jim
Thanks for your input. I'm sure it's just a glitch. As long as you're creating new content, that's the main thing.

To panic is to admit defeat. To ask questions is to avoid defeat.

Some of us learn the hard way! Thanks for your input.
