Old Dog Learns New Tricks

When I joined WA a couple of weeks ago, I dug my copy of "Think and Grow Rich" I haven't
read it in over 30 years. I reread it and then kicked myself in butt!
"Think and Grow Rich" and "The Strangest Secret" should be required reading for anyone who is serious about improving yourself. Both of these are available on video on Youtube.

I think I need help. My website “Learn Affiliate Marketing Step by Step”
has been on the first page of Google for over three weeks and I have zero comments much less any one trying a free membership.
I am also on the first page of Bing with the same results.

I spent $20 on Fiverr for traffic and what happened was my bounce rate went from 40% to 95% —— pages per session went from 5.5 to1.3 — and session time went from close 9 min. to 1.3 min.

I’m using Firefox. When I put my domain URL http://Learnaffiliatemarketingstepbystep.com

Sorry,I tried to put a screen shot in here -- no luck.

I'm the top 3 spots and one of them is my profile.
I don’t know why my profile shows up?
Do I try a different domain or just keep building this one?

Redford,

When I went to your website my first impression is that it was a little bit confusing. Your first page should make the person feel welcome and explain what the page is about and be very visual. I know that your title is self explanatory, but people look at the page for about a millisecond before they decide if they want to stay. That may be the reason for the bounce rate. Your first page should not have a list of all your blogs in my opinion (just free advice) and should be simple and very visually pleasing and visually direct people where to go and what to do. I am not saying I am an expert, and this is the first website I have ever done, but look at my first page at www.menandwomenrelation.com and see if you feel like what I am saying is helpful or not. Otherwise I think your website is great. I just think you need to engage people right away on your first page to keep them there. Let me know if you think I am full of it or if this helps any.

Hi Don. Your site is ok as it stands but you do have a couple of problems.
In your pig in a poke page your text is all over the place. Why not have it Left Aligned. I would also change the text font, and you have your text spacing at double (not nice to look at at all.)
You have also missed out the word HAVE when you start to describe WA
and on your Aside Page the first word shouldn't be spelled the way you have it.

It should either be you are or you're

You also have words underlined and in bold which isn't necessary.
The pages are also too 'White'. I would put some color in them.
Hope this helps and its not meant as criticism but its the little things that people notice and wonder about.
Have anice day.

Is it possible to use Youtube videos on our website, and if it is, how do we do it?

If there is a share symbol for any youtube video you're viewing, click it. Look under the video a little bit and you will see a link for that video. Copy it, go to your website pages, click edit and put anywhere you want it. You could also just copy the url at the top of the youtube video. Either way works. I wouldn't worry about embedding. Also red, you can find this info when you start to type in your question up top. There will be a drop down with all kinds of info for questions that other people have asked. I'm sure that "how do I capture youtube videos" is in there. Hope this works.

looks like donrw059 has given you one option,

however, I embed the video

the reason I embed the video is that I can then keep the visitor on my site AND limit the rest of the garbage that youtube displays at the end of the videos

I do this by selecting the appropriate embed options

all the best,

What an great way to run a business! I’m stunned!
I logged in to work on my website today and noticed that my rank number was smaller. I thought that it was like a scoreboard at a game, I never thought it was also a link until I cliked on it. I was blown away by what I found. The Ambassador Program is an awesome way to keep everyone involved. There’s great stuff hiding all over this site!

tis true!

'there is a lot of stuff hiding all over this site!'

happy hunting!

I can't believe it --- my half done website was on page 4 on Google
yesterday. I just checked it and it's moved to page 3. I'm pumped.

congrats!
just by having it published it is ranking!

goes to show that it does not have to be perfect!

all the best,

I just went on Google to see if I could find my under construction website. I couldn't believe it! I'm on page 4. I am one happy old fart!

I SCREWED UP!!!

On Thursday I told you that I chose a domain name, but I didn't tell you the whole story. I'd been trying to decide on a name for since I joined WA. I spent a lot of time at Jaxxy and had loooong list of keywords to narrow down.
I finally decided on "learnaffiliatemarketingstepbystep.com. When I went to purchase the domain, I typed it in, it was available, I hit the buy button and it was mine.
I then discovered I had left out the- by- between the steps.
I promptly went back and bought the right one.
The lesson: double check BEFORE you hit the BUY button!!!

so do you still have the mistyped domain as well?

if so, you can play with that, use it as a sandbox to test stuff out on!

all the best

I'm listening to The Strangest Secret a couple times a week. I don't see how you could listen to that and not think about the potential you have if you are willing you learn something new. It's the fear of failing that holds us back.

and the only way to handle fear is to take action!

I chose a domain name yesterday,now i can start working on a website!

great! just take it a step at a time

sometimes you may stumble back, that is part of learning,

all the best,

that is one way to put it!!!

for myself, it is not just reading and listening to them, but studying and applying the principles they teach

maybe you could blog some more on things you have learned from them!

all the best,

Thank you for sharing. I think we are all learning more and more with each day and there is always room for improvement. :)
