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.

Site that never rank i please need help?

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.
:-)

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?

Thanks,im using a premium theme, it`s upto date.I`m not 100% sure when the problem started really.
Will check the plugins.
No I did not contact site support, maybe I should.
Thanks so much,really appreciate

I installed Elementor and it seriously messed my site, everything comes out as 1 long block of words, no Htags, subheadings or spaces.

Maybe the situation is not as bad as it seems. I've just taken a stroll around your site and although some content appears to be missing most of the posts I looked at look are OK.
Before installing Elementor were you using the native block editor or the Classic Editor plugin?
If you were using the Classic Editor plugin go to Settings > Reading and make sure that you have the choice between Classic Editor and the block editor for every post.
Now open a bad post using the block editor, click into a messed up paragraph and Convert to Blocks. Use Preview to see the result. If you don't click on Update you haven't made the situation any worse.
If you'd like to give me editorial access to your site to see if I can help then send me a private message.
Thanks, Marion, the posts that look ok have been done manually since I found what the problem is. I`ve been trying to manually remove the code that`s causing issues, but I thought there should be a way to do it easier.
There should be an easier way, would you like me to take a look? You'd need to create a new user with Editor access. My email address is marion @ marionblackonline.com (without the spaces).
Unfortunately no, it took me over 4 months to find out exactly what`s wriong.I already contacted site support and there`s nothing they can do.
if you are using the classic editor then you can select the text paragraph by paragraph and click clear formatting....
to have this in your menu you will need to install hte tinymce editor plugin( now advanced editor)
you will select the text then click on format and click remove formatting....
this will strip all the formatting from the paragraph...
you can select the whole post and do this but it wil lremove the links as well as everything else...
there is a lot of unecessary code in your articles....that does need stripping out....
at least this wil lgive you the chance to go through hte posts....
little consolation...
good luck
phil
try it by copy and pasting one of the articles into a draft post on your site first...
Wow, and do this with every single post? my nightmare that`s been going on is turning into a reality. doing it post by post scares me.
Anyway, I really appreciate your answer,(in a very good way) I hope someone will give me a different answer.I'm not looking for push-button easy, but doing it manually in 500+ posts, then inserting new links and new images................(head down with a heavy sigh)
going through all the posts would take a day to strip the extra html...
personally i would do it on a staging site ...
then the issue would be as you say going back through them...
hte images would stay...but text links disappear...so maybe use xenu to scan your site before you do it to grab all the links...
or maybe pay someone on fiverr to do it ....depending on how much your site earns...
what is more precious...your time or your money...
it will keep you busy for a few days...
then transfer the staging site over to the original....where it overwrites everything.....but then the old site with bad code is gone...
Hi Roamy, this is probably for Support. They can perhaps restore the previously saved version of the site, I mean the one before you installed the plugin. This should be the safe way to get rid of the elements introduced by the plugin.
I already asked, but since it took me a very long time to find out what the problem is, site support can`t help.
And a serious beginner mistake, I did not back up just before I installed elementor.
It took me months to even find out what the problem was, at a time, I thought it might be the AAWP plugin, then I thought my laptop might have been messed up, so it was a guessing game until I found out.It`s really not a new problem.
It looks like there was some kind of conflict between the plugins. I would definitely take this one to tech support.
On the bright side, the top of your blog looks great!

Recently when I view the search console, I get informed that my post URL is in google but has issues search console but posts have issues.
could anyone please guide me on
Hey Roamy,
Take the exact prompts you are seeing... one by one, and Google search each prompt to see how to fix them.
Google's big complaint on my sites was that the font size was too tiny for mobile users, so I increased the font size and that made Google happy.
Though I still get prompted from time to time about issues that do NOT even exist.
Following the prompts within your Google Analytics is the only way you can resolve this.
Hope you find this helpful.
If it is the font size that Google is complaining about, you can do that straight across your website from your WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Customize and then look for where to adjust your font size.
I would ask site support. They may see something that you don't.
Click on help, in drop down, click on site support, to send them a direct message, They are very good about getting back to you in a timely manner.
