Hi,
Up until yesterday I only had on average 2-3 visitors a day from Bing/Yahoo/DuckDuckGo. Then yesterday just before midnight, things changed dramatically. I got 40+ visit
Nice work.
Yeah Yahoo and bing have different rules for ranking content as well as a trust factor that is different to Google.
I was on page 1 of Google with none of my content ranking on bing until recently my trust factor increased and I got a massive boost to traffic from that.
Like you said as well outside influences can happen such as an event or TV advert.
Suddenly huge traffic increase from bing, yahoo, duckduckgo?

Hi,
I just saw a competitor having these cool rating stars and also her name reviewed by: Anna Powell in SERPs and I want to have exactly the same for my site.
Here i
I use "All in One Schema Rich Snippets". You can not only use their rating systems for reviews but you can also use it for rich snippets.

Hey Philipp,
The plugin I found that has kept Google the happiest, the longest is Yasr – Yet Another Stars Rating by Dario Curvino.
Hope you find this helpful.
I'm using this plugin for my reviews, so yes, you can. Though you will need to type in the text portion. See screen print below where I have added the text and the stars are created using the plugin I mentioned.
This is the link that you can download the plug-in that Jay recommends using for doing reviews and getting the five stars rating in the SERPs

Hi,
I was super happy that my site got approved by Amazing associates USA a few days ago. I installed Amazon Onelink and added Canada and Great Britain.

Go back through your site, including your affiliate disclosures and so on. Look at anything that can be considered offering an incentive to your visitors and remove/reword it. I had a similar incident with them and was able to fix it. Mine was some wording that said something to the effect of "if you make a purchase using links from this site, you'll be supporting this site", etc. That wasn't allowed either. Once I cleaned it up. All was good and they reinstated my account and I didn't lose any commissions. I had to call them and ask them to reevaluate my site so I didn't have to reapply.
Based on this "While reviewing your Amazon Associates application, we noticed that your web site:http://vibranthappyhealthy.com provides an incentive for customers to click on your Associates links. Associates arent allowed to reward customers for visiting or purchasing from Amazon.com." There's something on your site they view as offering an incentive to your visitors.
Here's the little blog post I did when I was rejected: Amazon affiliate disclosure - why did they close my account?
Thank you very much. That helps me a lot. I really hope I can get the commissions back just like you :)
Hi Phil - that sucks! But nice site :-)
I haven't been through all the pages but I think some have "Amazon" in the link and I don't think that's allowed.
Also, not sure if saying "Lowest prices on Amazon" os regarded as an incentive.

Thanks, Ian. The link you posted is super helpful. I think the issue is the link text, I’m going to fix it. Once again, thanks a lot.

Hi,
For a few days in a row now, I am getting traffic from the Russian search engine Yandex. I am not sure what to make out of it, is this even real traffic or bots?
Goigle it please! Seems like a 50/50 trust rating!
More importantly...nice analytics yours building!
All the Best of the Season!
Love your nickname :)
I googled it, but I couldn't find the answer. I hope someone here can help me out.
It looks like it's a legit Russian search engine so it's all good. You should see a view visits from Russia.
traffic is from US, UK, CA even though it's a Russian search engine, so it's a bit suspicious.

Hi,
let's say I have one image and the size of the image is 100kb. I insert the exact same image 5 times in one post. Now does that add 500kb to the post size or just 100
Yes. Adds 500KB
The fact that the file name, size is identical and Wordpress will use the same database reference, won't change the fact that on the page are displayed 5 elements with 100 KB each
