Does anyone out there know how to change font and font size in GeneratePress? I thought I had done it before but can't seem to figure it out a second time. :)

Did you get it sorted Kerry?

I did, Thanks.

Awesome :)

Michael

Hi again,

Just wondering, - if I've got a dozen or so blog posts to be published and I'm doing this in a "release" fashion, is it better to drop all 12 blogs at once, or

I would schedule them all up to go out, let's say 3 times a week, 9am Monday, 9am Wednesday, and 9am Friday.

Thanks for the help Chrystopher. JUst watched you latest class as well. Good Stuff.

You're welcome Kerry and thank you :-)

Thanks all for the great info. I will schedule them to release accordingly.
Have a great day!

You're welcome. Hope you guys are having a great day too.

Staged release definitely. The algorithm works best with regular postings.
To post one every week without fail is far better than post a lot, miss a lot, post a lot, miss a lot etc.
Trust me, staggered is best and then make sure you keep to the same upload frequency pattern.

Hi - Google likes to see consistency. If you add 12 blogs in one day, it will expect to see 12 blogs every day! Release them in a schedule you can stick to.

No I wouldn't, as soon as I finish one I publish and so on so forth.

Yes it does matter, consistency plays a big part. If you publish all 12 in one go, then Google expects twelve more the following week. The recommendation is 2 - 3 posts a week a site.

Good Morning. Looking for any help on URL Inspections tool. A few of my posts show as indexed (URL is on Google, but has issues), then show the following: 1 valid item with w

Hi Kerry, if the posts are getting indexed regardless of the error, I would not spend too much time trying to look for a fix especially if it says optional.
Would be nice to know what the error is related to and you can find that out in GSC also the how to fix page should pop up.

Best wishes,
Michael

Michael, Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean there are errors. Sometimes your pages are fine, but GSC will still show error...

But, check your pages first if they are mobile-friendly, then if they are, just click the box that shows the errors in GSC, and click "Validate".

You'll receive a mail telling you that it has been successfully fixed.

Thanks. Good insight.

Howzit Kerry,
Suman is spot on 'Site Support" they will certainly help you out, response time is good.

Cheers
Murray

It's better you contact the Site Support team for such technical errors. In order to contact the "Site Support" team, you can click "Websites" at the top menu of Wealthy Affiliate and after that, you can click "Site Support" on the drop-down menu. You can get help from them within some minutes.

Good Luck!

Hi Folks, looking for clues in regards to keywords on blog post titles. Does my keyword need to BE my title? Or does my keyword just need to be IN my title? I’m having

Good question and great answers

I agree! Thankful for all of these knowledgeable folks who are so willing to help.
Kerry B.

Hello,
You would use Running Tops for Men.
It needs to make sense.
So it can be your title or in your title.
It also needs to be in the first Paragraph of your post.
Hope this helps,
Pam

It does Pam, Thanks very much for the info.
Kerry B.

Your keyword only has to be "in" your title, so you are ok to prefix it or append it with other words to encourage visitors to click through. You just don't want to add words into the middle of your keyword. You can, of course, use your keyword "as" the title if it makes sense to do so. Hope this helps.

Thanks Chrystopher for this answer, Common Sense I guess. But I started there and talked myself out of it for some reason and went full circle. Back on track now,
Thanks for the help,
Kerry B.

You're welcome Kerry :-)

It just needs to be in the title.

Thanks Geoffrey,
Sounds good,
Kerry

Hello, ok here goes. Your key words need to be in your title. But best does not need to be in your URL.

Example:

Keyword: best running tops for men
URL: best-running-tops-for-men
Title: Top Five Best Running Tops For Men
Keywords in first paragraph: exp: take a look at these top 5 beat tops for men.

Hope this helps

Laura

Makes sense, thank you. I feel like this is what I've been doing so will review to be sure,
Thanks Laura,
Kerry B.

Hi All,
So I have a new(er) and very incomplete website. I get a small amount of pageviews on a daily basis at this point. When looking at Google Analytics / Behavior / Si

I had something similar the other day as well on a very fresh website. It spiked from some 15 to 20 pageviews to almost 350 for a short period. Mostly from China according to Google Analytics.

-Roy-

Thanks Roy

if you goto your analytics account and click on acquisition - all traffic - source/medium and have a play with the settings
but you may find that it is an affilaite program just reviewing your site for the amount of content and certain words they don't want
or a bot found you and just scanned your site possibly looking for weaknesses or email addresses
you could look at behaviour - sitecontent - all content to see whether it is one particular page or spread out over the site.
but for a newer site i would say it is nothing to chase or spend too much time over - unless you see that it is from social referrals - meaning that something may have picked it up...
good luck
phil

Great Info. I tried a couple of these. Thank you.
Kerry

Feigner has already replied to you. In addition to that, I want to tell you to keep on following WA lessons. If you follow all WA lessons, then you will learn about to check traffic on Google Analytics and Search Console (each and every detail) in upcoming lessons.

You can also follow these links to find out:- You can also search using the search bar above the WA website to find out plenty of such training and blogs explaining about Google Analytics and other ways to check traffic.

Hi Kerry, I am no expert but I did get some huge figures out of the ordinary, these were traffic exchange I used, maybe you have used something similar to give you the spike!

Trust this helps :)
Martin

did you get good results from the traffic exchange Martin?
phil

Thank you

Lots of traffic but what I call poor traffic. Short answer no ... I was doing a review on my website so needed to test it out and see what results I got... i am sure there are traffic exchanges that do work. But this one didn't.

Martin

ok thanks Martin....
shame it didn't work - but showed that their audience was active....

Indeed about 200-300 per day for seven bucks worth a test

at least it gives google a signal that it is popular and maybe helps in the rankings - dependant on time on page

I've already tested all Traffic Exchange sites for years, none of them work. Even most of them sent fake (Bot) traffic which can harm your website ranking. So, never use Traffic Exchange sites. Just keep on following WA lessons and do what those lessons teach you to increase web traffic.

Indeed I will not be using these again.
