SiteSupport can help you update these records. I suggest creating a hosting support ticket here:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support
You can also find this within the Websites menu under the "SiteSupport"(to the left). This is where you should go if you ever have loading issues with your website, email issues, plugin/theme issues, or if you accidentally do something that adversely impacts your website.
This support is 24/7 and upon submitting your ticket we will look into it right away Myles!
Thanks Kyle, from this response it sounds as if this is possible by request to support and them manually adding these DNS records. I'm going to transfer over today and once complete provide these records via support ticket. Cheers for prompt response!

I came across an interesting tool to creat content for any website. It provides an affiliate opportunity and l was thinking it would be a great service to offer to WA members a
Google hates that kind of content, btw. Their algorithms are already aware of all of the article spinners. There are certain characteristics of a human-generated piece that can't be done by a machine. Yeah, it sounds good on paper, but in reality, don't waste your money.
No promotions whatsoever, Myles. No matter how helpful you think a product is. Spam is a NO NO!
Aside from the policy, which I am not sure of, but it sounds unlikely to be accepted, I am instantly wary of any content creation tools. As a proofreader, I have seen hundreds of examples of artificially generated content, all of which were either so grammatically incorrect they were illegible or were simply copied and pasted.
Thanks for your reply Diane. I will be getting a good feel for how well this tool creates content and agree artificially generated content has been poor in my experience as well. This tool allows for editing spo I am looking at it as a foundation for generating good raw material and greatly reducing my research and writing time.

I just received a second message (see image) to my WA website email address. I've never had this before and wondering if anyone out there has had this experience or could offer
I think it's bs, like beachwood says, but when you do not trust it, you can contact site support as Tom suggested to verify
Yeah, I got one too, I just ignore those. It's all bs. I never visited the site they say I visited or have done the things they say they have me videotaped doing. Again, all bs!
I would use the forward email option Myles. That way it goes to your gmail or whatever account you are using.
An email hacker in my inbox, what should I do?

I've been trying to add a new link in an article a published several weeks ago however it will not save it. I'm using the Hiero Theme and did not have this issue before the edi
I am not a fan of the new editor at all. I have the same issue you do. Only solution I've found is you have to do it 2-3 times in a row. Don't do any other editing in between attempts. It will stick the second or third time.
So irritating and should not be happening, but alas...
Why won't my website editor let me add a link?

I read in the training somewhere that putting affiliate links in my website posts is something Google does not like and will harm my ranking. So I created a Page for my niche a
Google used to own an affiliate network. They understand affiliate links and will not penalize you for having some in your articles. They just don't like too many in an article.
What you have done is now made your readers go through one more step before making a purchase. That will affect your conversion rate in a negative way.
FYI, links from many of the affiliate networks are no-follow as the default setting.
Sorry, but you got some bad advice. I'd change those links back to point directly to the merchants.
Google is always changing something. If some is making money without paying Google their change. Someday I will have my own search engine
There has been speculation over the years about whether or not affiliate links on a website can hurt a site or not when it comes to SEO and Google rankings. The question came up today in the Google Webmaster Hangout, and John Mueller addressed how Google views affiliate sites.
First he said Google doesn’t have anything against affiliate sites and they can rank well. He said the issue is affiliates who simply throw up an affiliate feed and call it a day without doing anything to change the feed or creating unique and useful content for visitors.
Of course affiliate sites can be really useful, they can have a lot of great information on them and we like showing them in search.
He then continues to say the issue isn’t that affiliate websites don’t rank well, but it is really a case where there are a lot of really bad affiliate sites that are nothing more than a republished affiliate feed, and those won’t rank well since they don’t really have value to the user.
But at the same time we see a lot of affiliates who are basically just lazy people who copy and paste the feeds that they get and publish them on their websites. And this kind of lower quality content, thin content, is something that’s really hard for us to show in search. Because we see people, sometimes like hundreds of people taking the same affiliate feed, republish it on their websites and of course, they are not all going to all rank number one for those terms.
The importance of ensuring an affiliate site ranks is making sure they have – wait for it – unique, high quality content. Without it, an affiliate site just won’t rank well when there are plenty of other high quality alternatives to show.
We really want to see unique, high quality content and that is something that we do like to rank. So it’s not something where we per se say that an affiliate sites are bad, we just see a lot of bad affiliate sites because they are people who try to find the fast way to publish content on their web, which sometimes being fast is good is also good, but you really also need to make sure you have a really great website where people want to go to your website to get the information that they can’t find anything else.
Lastly, he dispels the myth that affiliate links can somehow hurt a website. We have seen some some SEOs go to great lengths to obfuscate or otherwise disguise an affiliate link from Googlebot.
And if you have affiliate links on a website, that is great, that is not going to be something we would count against a website.
Your welcome. I have a few strategically placed affiliate links and ads on my site. I was Google indexed about four days after creating my site and being a WA member.
Good question and I like your resolution. I’m curious to know as well if your method is what we should be doing
