Hi,
I'd like to install the SMF package using FTP onto a new site I created.

The way I see it you only have two options: use a plugin or use a different host. If you email me I can send you my affiliate link for HostGator, they have cPanel and SMF via QuickInstall, (marion@marionblack.co). For my way of thinking better to stick with WA for hosting and the WordPress platform with a plugin. ~Marion
No Cpanel on WA hosting, so I doubt you'd be able to install any forum software. WA is limited to a WordPress installation.
Cheers Ian, I was just going to say [to Marion] that I don't want a plugin, I would like to install SMF in its own right into a folder called, for example forum. But with no CPanel access that could prove tricky. What about FTPing the software into a directory? We do have FTP access!

You could upload the files. But you're still going to have to create a database. And without PHPMyadmin access that might be tricky.
My first reaction was 'WTF is SMF?' so I Googled it and found that it's open source software for a forum website. So then I went to wordpress.org and looked for a forum plugin there are plenty to choose from. If you're using WordPress on your website then you don't use open source software you need a plugin. I hope this helps. ~Marion

Cheers Werner, I actually have an account with GoDaddy so can easily bring that particular domain under them for this purpose.
Out of interest, do you know why there is no cPanel access at WA, as most web hosts provide that as standard?
Nic
WA hosting is a multi-user WP site. MA sites do not have cPanel access because you do not own the primary site. Most people do not know what cPanel is or how to use it. WA is great for them, but if you want full control of your website you will need a host like NameCheap, Blue Host or GVO. GoDaddy uses their own proprietary version of WP, has continuous upsells and IMO is hard to work with.
I use APlus; a Canadian host, even though I'm in the U.S. Their support is incomparable and I went over to them after using Hostmonster - crappy support, Hostgator, fair support, GoDaddy, nuts, and a couple of other hosts. They have their own version of cPanel, but if you're confused they'll just fix things for you.

Hi WA'ers,
I hope you're having a great day so far.
I'm planning to create some videos for reviews and tutorials shortly and am looking at the various microphones av
I normally use a headphone with a mic, but maybe because I am always on the go so with a attached mic to a headphone I can lie bring them anywhere.
Bluetooth, really? I'll look into that, thanks Marion. Could you elaborate on why you would not invest in a plug-in mic - I assume you are referring to the USB Audio interface whereby you connect an XLR cable compatible mic?
No, USB is good and that's what I use, but mine is just a cheapie from eBay. By plug-in mic I'm referring to one that plugs into the pink socket which is attached (on the inside of your computer) to your sound card. They're the ones to stay away from. You may need a blue-tooth headphone/mic set if you want blue-tooth but I'm no expert.
I use the micro phone off of my cam. If you gave a cam on your computer it comes with a mic. Why waste the money.
Thanks Tommy. I know the camera/mic option would be the cheapest but I don't think that option would offer the best sound experience.
Check out my videos the sound is ok for me. But then I have a creative cam with high input mic

Hey guys, what's up?
I was in Jaaxy working with keywords and I discovered that I'm ranked in Google (Page 1, position 1) for the keyword "targeted traffic internet market

I checked it in another tool and get Position 51. See it here:

If you were logged in to Gmail, YouTube, Webmaster Tools - or using Chrome, or visited your own site a few times, Google will give a personalized result higher than it would be for anyone else doing the search.
You can check the position in Google Webmaster Tools for the average position of each keyword. Click on your domain name, and go to Search > Search queries.
Click on the filters tab in the data area. In the blank field next to "contains", insert your keyword/s. Then select "Web", and, "all locations" and "all urls".
If you want to hone results to searches emanating from the UK, you can select United Kingdom as a filter.
P.S. I was able to get a Page 1 result when I searched for your term with word "attract" in front of it. (attract targeted taffic internet marketing forums). It appears on Page 1, Position 10 out of 446,000 results. ~Jude
If you are signed into your Google account in Chrome your results will be skewed. If you are testing your own results make sure you either log out of your account before performing your test searches, or perform them in Incognito Mode.
P.S. When I search your keyword, with no quotes, I see you exactly at the 51st position!
because you put the " " on the search in google it will always come up in the number one spot in google
I don't think he put the quotation marks in, at least not according to the image he has posted. ~Jude
I simply typed in the keyword as you see in the screenshot, no quotes, and my site appeared in position one, on page one. And still does. Would it make any difference me been in the UK?

Hi,
I'm using Pretty Link to create friendly URLs for my affiliate links and on the subject of having too many affiliate links (which Google does not like) in our pages an
Try linking one of your pages from a page or post, (internal links), Link that page to a page with external links.
All good here thanks. I see training on pretty links before. Should I ne using them? Olive
The appearance of the link is of no consequence to Google. It only serves as a possible influence to the reader. Google doesn't like too many affiliate links on a web page and it really doesn't matter what they look like.
Good question Nicky! I wonder about that too? And, how many affiliate links is too many? I don't get it. How are we supposed to refer people to products without them?
Well, this is the thing you see! I have quite a lot of links on my main WA review post, which I've made to look pretty using Pretty Link, but now I'm a little concerned - after Werner's comment - shall we say as to what the Googlebot will think? Gulp!
The question of how many affiliate links is too many was recently brought up by another member. The consensus is that no more than 2-3 links per post/page is ok and do not put affiliate links on every page.
It is difficult to find out the ratio of pages/posts with links and those without.
If you go to this link it should answer your question:
How many affiliate links is OK
Hope it helps.
Lis.
Thanks for that Lis. On my WA review I have a lot of images to things like some of the Live Video Classes (magistudios) and also a selection of the Online Entrepreneur Courses. I made the images clickable and included a link to the WA sign-up page. How would you approach this type of scenario?
The Google algorythms find commercial or monetizing links. They're not necessarily affiliate links. Google has thousands of highly skilled programmers that work night and day on keeping up with users trying to defeat the system. Trust me, they'll find you. They did me and effectively shut down one of my sites before I wised up. Keep your content in the foreground and stay conservative with your monetizing links, affiliate or whatever.
Cheers Werner,
I had over 24 links on my WA review post, which is over 2,300 words now, although it's more like 2,800 as that does not include the text in the images.
I've removed about 20 of them, so there's only a very small handful left - top, bottom and middle of the post and one in the image of the Online Cert Course and one in the image of the Live Video Class on The Mentality of Mobile.
Hopefully that will keep the G Police at bay but if need be I can remove those two as well I guess.
How's things anyway?
Nick
Hi Nicky, I would, unfortunately, review the page and see if you can reduce the links as I have a feeling Google will not look at it favourably and it could affect your whole site.
Also, I would ask Kylie to have a look at it and see what he thinks.
Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
Lis
That is good, at least you will have peace of mind knowing that Google will not penalise your whole site.
I would leave it with the 5 links and write 2 or 3 extra posts/pages that do not have external links to balance things out a bit more.
