I recently started a new campaign to evaluate conversations.

It only shows up when you cash out here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/credits

But on your Stats, it shows up under "Referral Credits".

These 1 dollar credits are on your credits balance... if you go to your profile image in the top right corner.. and from the menu select Credit Dashboard... you will see them there...!

Thanks Chris
This now makes sense. I see my 16 credits under the credit dashboard. It looks like I have to earn $10 worth of credits before I can cash it out.

I learn something new here all the time.

Cheers

I'm relatively new but my understanding is that if they sign up for the free account and change their name and add a picture, you will receive credits. I think you can then exchange credits for money.
Click on airplane button at the top of your screen and click My Stats. I think it is at the of that top on the right.
Hopefully this helps!

thanks for clarifying

I used the Sticky Menu plugin to keep my main menu on top of the page as one scroll down the blogroll. My drop down menu goes behind text in my posts.

It may well be the theme. Have you got more than one domain or have you created a test domain in site Rubix. If you haven't that is what I would do and then test it with wp 2017 theme

Thanks

Try deleting the menu and starting over again. Try editing the menu from Customize instead of the plugin first.

Thanks, I uninstalled the plugin.
I can get the menu fixed at the top by adding the below code:

Can anyone help explain changes in the search engine ranking landscape since the fantastic 2013 post by Jay on proof that Jaaxy works:

I Would definitely be interested as well. But I have a little bit doubts on the matter, as domains are less important for google nowadays and will continue to be less important.

But they still say here in the courses that a .com has a higher priority over .net and .org (and other extensions).

But what Jay did back then in that video was creating a domain name for a product range that was in high demand at the time. High demand websites can still work at the moment.

You got to find:
1) a product in demand (like the wireless TV speakers) or build a website around a theme that is going to be popular (think movie, tv series, popular collector items etc)
2) register a .com domain for it
3) produce content for that so you play in on the stuff that people want to read/buy

But as Jay also stated in one of his comments:

*Google tends to treat sites that have G+ stuff on it a little better. So, yes.. this could be the result of G+ & Authorship
--> Jay has already Authorship built up through G+ and being a successful affiliate marketing guy with several websites in the top.

*There is a category that is indexed from the blog, so this could be a factor
--> he had a bit of content, mainly 1 page and a category for that 1 post apparantly.

So for example, a while back these fidget spinners got very popular. If you had known that beforehand that it was going to hit a golden streak, you would have registered a .com in that and produced some content and a bunch of affiliate links.. and cashed in ;)

I am planning to do something like that as well in due time, but I think I wait a bit around until I have built up authority/authorship.

Steven

Thanks Steven
You make some very valid points.
I just started on an experiment similar to what Jay posted. I did not take the Authorship in to account and think that it may very well have a great affect.

I will see how it goes and if I get any rankings or traffic. This is a fairly low cost experiment and will provide a good opportunity to learn.
I will post the results in a few weeks.

I am sorry I am not able to help you with your question. Have you tried searching for some of you answers using the Search Bar?

Hi All,

I am still a complete newb and am having a challenging time to understand ranking of posts.

My posts are showing up in google but my website Home Title show

Normally the default is that your post title and site title would show up with a hyphen between them above the description.

for example:

"Your Post Title - Your Site Title
A description usually taken from the first paragraph of your text here"

Are you saying your post title isn't showing at all? Only your main website title? Your keyword or title you chose wouldn't affect this.

When composing your article, if you're using All In One SEO or Yoast SEO you can edit the meta title and description to change from the default. Maybe try entering the title exactly as you'd want it to show and see if this helps.

Hi Eric
I am using All In One SEO.

In google I see:
Just the home title as I wrote it in the general settings under home page settings.
The few lines of text that show up below are from the actual post.

I expect to see is as you describe in your response.

Not sure why my screenshot is not posting as that will show what I see.

I am not sure what to change but think this may be part of the reason why my post is not ranking for the keywords I am targeting.

I made my screenshot larger and it will post.
The red circle is the actual result in google on the first image. The second image is what I am expecting.

Thanks for looking in to this and your willingness to help me understand the process.

I'm imagining it has to do with your All In One SEO default settings. Have your posts always shown up like this in Google search results?

Hi Yes
All my posts show up as in the images above.

Can you recommend potential setting amendments or places to look for changes that might be helpful.

I use Yoast myself, so I can't tell you exactly where to go but I'd imagine within the general settings there would be an area to fix this.

Have you tried creating a support ticket or even messaging Kyle himself? He actually responds and support is great for this kind of thing too.

Sometimes asking in the live chat will get an answer, as well. I wish I could help you out more but hopefully you can find a solution from either Support, Kyle, or the Community.
