Thank you for asking this question, it's great to know from the answers below that I can change things.
Nope, no impact to SEO at all. As long as you dont change the URL, as Abie said, then you are good. Regular content refreshes are a very good thing and if you've god a killer new image you want to use as the featured, go for it!

As for the feature image, yes I think it's even better to change it when updating a post as well.

Hello WA Family is anyone experiencing this behavior in the Google Search Console?
When I run google search console it showing me some of my posts are in positions 1,2,3
what time frame are you using in gsc - it defaults to 3 months - if you click on the time and set it to today then you get the most accurate results
just having a keyword in pos1 in google doesn't guarantee clicks - it is only if people are searching for that exact keyword/phrase
it can be tricky interpreting the data in google analytics
have fun

Shorter result. on GSC 1 PAGE shows it is on position 5 and Jaxy says zero in Google position 3 in Yahoo. Date Jan 19
Incongnito: GSC/Performance report /Last 7 days/ under PAGES? it shows 2 post articles that can be on the first page, one position 2, another one on position 7.
Impressions 1 and 2.
Now when I go to Jaxy the same keyword that is displaying in GCS, Jaxy says can't be found.
I've been observing this for months. Google says is ranking ON GSC but is not real. because it is not on the first page.
not google search console - google.com - the search engine
when you type the keyword you are ranking for in where does your site turn up in the results
I found the other keyword on page 12 in http://google.com/incognito while on GSC say position 5 today(most recent day).
you are using the query from google search console in google .com search
the one indicating position 1
if you click on the query and then on pages do you see which article it is related to and do you expect that in that article
ooh the query shows only the name of one product that is Yes inside the article and is in position 2. That means this page is ranking only for this particular name. Is that correct?
For a couple of month, I was observing that I was not having any queries on each page. I think recently it starts showing me some but random words.
when I search incognito for this particular word I cannot find my website either. Is that how it suppose to work? I am still a little confuse.
I have a couple of pages that say ranking position 7 but zero queries
that is correct - that keyword is assigned to that article
so if you search for that query you should find your article in that postion- but the data is two days old - it is 21st today
so google has not updated recently - it is still having problems and going through updates internally
So to know if I got the correct idea.
If you have a page ranking on GSC without query that means is not ranking yet? it makes sense if I have a couple of pages that say ranking position 7 with zero queries meaning google is still analyzing that particular page.
I was searching now for the query that says I am ranking but I couldn't find the article. I am not sure if is because is only one word. I check the first 7 pages on google.com but is not there.
I was thinking maybe I was doing something wrong with SEO
yes as you have said if there are no queries against a page then google is either still comparing them to others or hasn't found what the main topic is...
ranking is a process that takes over 34 weeks to get to the 90% point of the final rank of the page..
you need to keep adding content to your site until you get at least 50 articles - if you stop before that your ranking will suffer
and ideally you carry on beyond that, but you can start analysing your posts for ranking position to adjust the content if necessary...
once your pages are indexed they will do the google dance for a couple of weeks.
but keep going and ask for a review of your site if you are concerned about anything and we can help more.
if you are following hte model taught here then you should be ok
i created a post the other day following hte model here and it was indexed in less than 24 hours and ranked hte next day and resides in position 21..but has no queries against it so will bounce around for a while....this is on a site i had not touched for 9 months....
so if you are concerned then please feel free to shout and ask for help
What is the most effective way to ask for a website review? My website has around 60 posts and 6 months old but it seems hard to have someone to check the SEO aspect and things like that.
I believe I have done the homework well but feel maybe I am missing something.
Do you have a little time to see it. I really would appreciate a deeper look.
i can certainly take a look and see what i think
we can take it to pm
have you gone through pagespeed tests for your pages
but 6 months is getting started in some niches and not even close in others....this model does take time to get going
but certainly i can have a look
pm me your site and anything in particular you want me to take a look at
When checking in Jaaxy, how are you entering your search details? Are you using your chosen keyword or the keyword that Google has identified? Are you using your domain name or the full URL of the post?
Are you checking your clicks in GSC or GA?
In Jaxy I am searching for the keyword only. It is the same as the one that appears in GSC under page. (not on queries) but I am also proving the domain name under the domain name section. I am looking at the Google Seach console Report.
Well first off Bing and Google are separate entities. If you are showing on page of Bing that is great. Remember though majority of the world uses google so it may take time to get clicks from bing and yahoo.

I am using Amazon pictures in one of my post, I also have a CTA Button right after the image. I thought this process will work well but Google send me a notification saying tha
Hey Ria,
The following training may provide you with the help you seek: How To PIn Amazon Affiliate Product Images - The Right Way Hope this proves helpful.
Hi - no, you have to insert the image using the HTML code. You can't just copy and paste it.
Thanks Diane, I am using it as html but I don’t want the picture to be clickable. I just want to display the image.
It's not possible. Can you move it to a different position in your review, so as it's not so close to your CTA button?
Yeah, I guess so. One more question, do you think It is allow to print screen the amazon picture to then loaded as picture?
That is the only possibilities I can see to accomplish what I want.
Hi - others have said they do that, but I personally wouldn't. You definitely can't screenshot product descriptions, reviews or star ratings, so to me it's a similar thing.
I think I have a picture that's not clickable on one of my pages (I went to the product on Amazon and clicked "Image" on the amazon site stripe, chose the size I wanted and copied the html, pasted it in my page where I wanted it and updated, then edit, click the pictuture, edit that, and where it says "link to: Custom URL" change it to NONE and update
Once you add the html link into your "text" tab click on the "visual" tab (where you should now SEE the picture [instead of just html] and you should still be in edit.
Click the picture and you should see the alignment chart, a pencil, and an X (click the pencil)
This is the screen where you'll see a part that says "Link to" and it should say Custom URL and have the link in the box, if you click "Custom URL" it should open a dropdown where you can choose "None", update it then update the page so it's no longer in edit mode.
I'll try adding a pic of what I mean
I do not have this option :/, but I think is because I am using gutemberg editor instead of the classic one.
When I click on preview tab I do not have options to customize anything.
Please see the picture below.

Lot of bad folk out there. On the bright side... it could be you just found another monetization method.
You can file a content take down request to google - not entirely sure how this is done.
Contact Scribd and prove to them that it is your content and I am sure it will be taken down after their investigation.

Paul Doing the Right Thing When Your Content is stolen
Aw, thats not good. My suggestion is to find out who is selling your article. Is it another WA newbie doing that? You can report on this platform. Second question, did you put a CopyScape icon on all of your articles or a copyright disclaimer? Usually that seems to work to prevent others from copying your articles. I tend to put the disclaimers about copyright law with the federal citation code and if caught they will be prosecuted under the law at the top before I start writing my articles. Its hard to try to prevent that. Hope others can answer the questions on the steps that you need to do to file the violation.
Hello Brenda
I do not have the copyscape icon or anything for copyright but I will introduce something like that in my website.
Thank you for sharing
