Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

I am thinking of doing a review of travel accessories for my site, but there are lots of them that I need to cover to give visitors a complete picture of all the accessories tha

Several pages as Larry and Moritz have mentioned, It's what I just did with one of my sites.

Personally, I feel that spreading a long article over several pages is a good idea. People tend to loose interest after 750 to1000 words. I would suggest that you create a description on the top of each page, showing what the content of each section includes. Good luck with your multi page article.

Larry and Travis, many thanks for your input on this
Neil

I wouldn't write "part 1", "part 2" behind it.
I would try to write something more describing about the things you will talk about in that part of your series.

But spreading it over several pages is a good idea, in my opinion.

I am about to finish a training on my archery website (11 posts in total) and instead of writing "archery training - part 1" etc. I explained more detailed what this part of the training is about.

Moritz

Hi Moritz,
Thanks for that. I thought it might be a good idea as well because you get several pages targeting the same basis keyword(s), so you get several chances at ranking for those keywords in the search engines. I will do as you suggest and create a title for each page with something like "travel accessory keywords - Best Luggage" and the next pages will be "travel accessory keywords - Best Gadgets" and so on.
Thanks
Neil

Yes. Sounds good like that.
All the best success with your website.

Thanks Moritz and good luck with yours too. Nice niche you have!

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing problems with the WA website? After Windows auto installed updates on my main PC I work on WA website is behaving a bit strangely.</

I'm not having trouble other than things are slower than a snail.

Seems to be all sorted for me know. Love your little smiley images (or not so smiley in this case). Neil

Hello, Carson just popped into chat and said

"Hey Everyone, we're in the midst of making one of the biggest upgrades to the back end of WA that we've ever done. Few glitches.. Things should be back to normal as of right now." so hang in there, it will get sorted out :-)

That's excellent. Thanks Digger

Your welcome :=)

The past week I have had trouble with the manager loading all the digits in the Edit mode. I think we have a faulty network highcap carrier, because it does not happen all the time. This analysis means it is at&t or Verizon trouble that is servicing WA. I had a career at Pacific Bell/at&t, just saying.

So I am waiting for the fault to be trouble shot with them. Might take awhile.

Hi Sherry, for me things have started to work again like the top search box working properly and pages loading correctly. Hopefully your bandwidth issues will get sorted.
Thanks
Neil

Yes, I am having some issues today. A section of RANK is completely gone, and my referral area is missing a new member. Kyle is checking to that for me. So, you are not alone....something is going on and I would have to suspect it is related to updates. Load time has not been an issue for me.

Thanks Donna. Just then I had to click away from this page and come back a few times just so clicking the reply button would produce the text box so that I could reply to you.

Try other websites, Sir. Not just Wealthy Affiliate. Or maybe it's just windows apps or recent installs. Not quite sure yet. Have you tried on another computer on your wealthy affiliate website? :)

Yes, other sites are loading fine including things like news sites which are full of adds, embedded videos and content which makes the page heavyweight are loading just fine. So I don't think it's my PC or browser.
Thanks
Neil

I think you should wait a day (I know that's not easy). It seems like there are some behind the scenes things going on in WA. I am hearing a few problems going on today.

Thanks Mary, yes I'll wait.....and then raise a support ticket if I'm still getting problems.
Thanks
Neil

Try clicking on Rank (top right) it looks like we only have 9 members. There's some weird stuff happening. Hold tight and don't do a system restore because the problem may not be your computer. ~Marion

Hi Marion,
Yes I get 9 members too and the little graphs are stacked one above the other instead of side by side. I know we all rely on this website so much, but having worked in IT myself at one time I know it's not easy for the support and development team to sort things out on a live website without causing outages for users. Just have to be patient I guess!
Thanks
Neil

yup - same here

My sites are looking and performing normally.

Yes. Started having problems last night when I was editing a post. I'm Hopeful they will get it fixed soon.

Thanks Rob

Hi Neil. There are obviously a lot of issues happening today. Some of us are not able to add an image to private messages as they won't send. Hopefully they are working on these problems and we'll be back to normal soon. :)

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for that. I'll give it a while before I start doing any Windows restores then to see if the support guys can solve the issues. I am writing this on a PC that did not have the update last night. It was a pretty big update so don't want to wind it back if at all possible.

It's a bit odd though because both PCs are Windows 7, so one with and one without updates, but I also tried on my wife's Windows 8.1 PC that had no Windows updates and the WA site is behaving strangely on that too. I'll just wait for now :)
Thanks
Neil
