Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a YouTube thumbnail for a short on Canva and upload it directly to the video? From what I see, you can only shorts create thumbnai

I wish they would allow it, but apparently not.

No, you cannot upload a thumbnail for a short, you have to pick a frame from the video to use as the thumbnail.

Yt shorts thumbnails question?

Mine simply says a LOT of years 😂

Hey Roamy, we will look into that. We should have a resolution by next week if there is any issue, in saying this the entire Ambassadorship program is going through an overhaul as well so lots of exciting stuff happening in that respect. ;)

Perhaps they no longer provide them. I checked my profile and I do not see a year badge either, Roamy.

Hi, Roamy.
I am going to disagree slightly (unusually) with Phil below.
And I haven't checked out any keywords.
However, I found a lot about Home Security... but it all shows up under the heading of "Holidays" in your menu.

Most people will never put enough time in to find it.

What happens is...
When I go to your site the Home page just contains adverts.
Then there are a series of menu items that each show 1 or 2 adverts.
Then under Holidays you have useful content...
So to find your content people would need to spend some time looking through many headings to find it and they are unlikely to look under a heading of "Holidays"!

Now, Google will have a similar problem. They'll find a relatively high number of adverts and unless you've set up lots of internal links it will be impossible for Google to understand the layout of your site.

So unusually to most people who put too much time into laying out there site and creating low volume content, you need to improve the layout of your site.

I haven't read detail of your posts so I don't know if there's a quality challenge to overcome beyond making the site much easier for humans and Google to use.

If you need more, feel free to send me a PM.
:-)

Thanks I totally agree, the menu got messed up yesterday at 3 am with only 1 eye open, and then my brain was too blocked to correct it.
Ads? not sure the site has any ads,will have to check that one.
My hands do get full and then doing everything gets very hard.
I really appreciate the support will correct the menu, some of them are sub menus.

Hey Roamy
We all make mistakes with menus at times.
But you shouldn't be getting Ads showing that you're not aware of!
:-)
Richard

OK, Roamy.
When you've corrected your menu, if you let me know, I'll take another look.
:-)
Richard

Thanks this is past feedback. The menu I know is terrible, the reason for the site not ranking or getting any impressions is what`s worrying me.

What's the URL? Happy to take a look.

I think the main problem is that there is very little on the site that relates to home security.

I'm not sure how you'd get a visitor interested in home security, but if you did, they are confronted by a row of unrelated products such as Shaver Shop stuff which they'd be more likely to go direct to Amazon for.

There's another row of similar ads at the foot of the site, with little or no room left for what should be what the site's all about.

I can just barely see your header menu (and I have a 24" monitor) and when I click on, for example Easter, expecting to see advice about keeping my home secure over the holiday break. it's both empty and uncategorized.

Security Cameras Review appears to be totally empty.

Your actual blog posts seem to be hidden away under the Categories list to the right but they are rendered invisible by the ad banners in the header and footer. They're not where visitors will find them.

My advice would be to refocus the site towards home security with a home page telling the visitor what the site is all about and with no ads at all.

A blog roll accessible from the header menu with each post focusing on a specific aspect of home security, keyword rich and containing affiliate links to relevant products. Submit posts to GSC as soon as you publish them.

Categorize your blog posts and include a Category item in your header menu.

Your header menu should include an About page where you highlight your expertise and your Contact page should include a form that visitors can use to contact you. At the moment, it just has a row of social media links which for some reason is duplicated.

Your footer menu should contain the legal requirement items like Privacy Policy, Affiliate Disclosure and so on.

You may need to empty the browser cache, refresh, and try again. Try the URL in a different browser or mobile device.

You can also empty the servers cache.
Websites > Site Manager > Details > Sitespeed > Empty site cache

It also could be a theme issue. Have you tried to change your theme and got a different result?

If you are still using classic editor, it may be time to write in the blocks mode which is a lot simpler when you get your head around it.

Hey Roamy,

1.) What theme are you using.
2.) Is your version of WordPress up-to-date?
3.) Are your plugins up-to-date?
4.) When was the last time you updated your website when it worked properly for you?
5.) Have you contacted SiteSupport to see if they can assist you?
