I believe I'm correct in saying that all affiliate links should be no follow... so how do you add a no follow to an image link?
< a href="https://domain.com" rel="nofollow" >Some Link< /a >
(without the extra spaces)
Thanks - just so I'm sure....
< a href="al" rel="nofollow" >Some Link< /a >
where 'al' is the whole of the affiliate link...?
What do you mean by extra spaces?
To allow the code to be pasted here, I had to add a space after the < and before the > on both A Tags.
In summary, yes, your affiliate link goes between the quote marks of href="" and you have to add rel="nofollow" in the first A Tag (opening tag)

If someone writes a comment on one of your posts that is grammatically way off... is it ok to edit it to make it grammatically correct before approving a publishing it?
I think you can do that if the person asked you to do that. That is what I think. Rather than editing someone's comments without the person knowing.
I dont see any problem in editing some grammatical errors as long as you dont misrepresent what the original comment was trying to say.
I do it all the time. I hate grammatical errors. I update any comment that makes sense for the content that was being reviewed. If the comment is not relevant, don't approve it as Chrystopher sais.
I know the feeling, it bugs the hell out of me when it's not written correctly, however, if all of your comments or perfectly written, then you will be acused of having fake comments. Unfortunately the world is not perfect, and it shows visitors and Google and that they are real and genuine updates. If it makes no sense whatsoever, then you can just leave it and don't aprove it. It's your call as the webmaster ;-)
It doesn't negatively affect SEO, but then again, I haven't performed a clinical trial on it, by having two identical websites, one with it corrected and one without it corrected. But from experience, it helps with people who mis type words in to search, as you will be seen as more relevant

Hi,
There are many plugins that will slow down your site. A slow site can be due to too large images, slow theme, too many ads, too many plugins etc.
There are many social media plugins that are lightweight, I use social snap lite, it’s free and doesn’t affect my speed. Many people use social pug as its lightweight too. You may have to test a few out to see how they work for you.
Hi Jenny - thanks for your thoughts... I've managed to really optimise my sight now - small, compressed images, videos using a youtube optimiser. PageSpeed Insights results are very good now, but as soon as I activate the 'Ultimate Social Media' plugin - the speed for mobiles drops dramatically...
I think the answer, as you have suggested, is to experiment with a few other social media plugins...
I believe that is the same social plugin that slowed my site down tremendously, it was the one recommended in the training I believe. There are much lighter ones that don't affect your speed. Yes, it's best to experiment. Good luck, I hope you find a winner.
Hello, This is an ongoing issue. Most social media plugins are heavy and will weigh down your site. I suggest doing an in-depth search on social media plugins and then a trial and error to see which one is good.
Also, Smartketeer here at WA has reviewed many plugins and you may find a social media one that he has reviewed if you look at his training.

It is required by law see this (If you omit it, you run the risk of being fined up to $40,654 per violation.) But it does not have to be your home address. It can be a workplace or a P.O. box. Any address where you can receive mail.

That's what they're saying, but I don't want my home address going out to my mailing list... just wondered what other users might be doing...
