Has anyone else's traffic tanked today? Is it because it's Thanksgiving?
I have not noticed but I continue to update blog with content addressing issues in relation to your niche website and sharing onward social media platforms.
Hi Rob happy Thanksgiving! Most niche sites that get traffic in the US slow down around this time due to the holiday. If your high rankings for your site are still in the same positions, then it's definitely Thanksgiving that's the issue here which is normal.
My nature site is seasonal too and around November takes a hit in traffic (not rankings) because people are less inclined to be outdoors as it gets colder.
Probably. But it's not Thanksgiving in other parts of the world. It will go up over Black Friday, so there is no need to worry. It's just the way it goes sometimes.
Has anyone else's traffic tanked today? Is it because it's Thanksgiving?
Yeah, it's that way every year. Unless there are specific deals offered by a specific merchant on Thanksgiving, people just don't go online. However, if you do have a merchant who has Thanksgiving Day only specials, be sure to highlight those to your audience and you can do great! I know there was a special I wanted at Costco, and though I was barely online yesterday, I definitely didn't miss that special deal!

How can content from one article of your website be considered duplicate content to another article on your OWN website?
If you copy your post and give it another keyword title it is the same content used twice. If you find that you wish to use some content multiple times, it is best to create it once and link other pages to it because two posts with the same content will not help your site to rank. You will want to create posts with unique content so that your visitors can get the help they look forward to receiving.
No, I'm not doing that at all. I believe the duplicate content has to do with the words in the descriptions of the Amazon products. I thought t was fine to use the Amazon descriptions of the products.
Ah! It is best to create your own description. Change words, their order, add something. What is it that makes this product special, unique..
When it comes to product features. Don't just copy them. State why each feature makes a difference. Features are there for a purpose. State the purpose.
Hi Rob, great to see you! Generally speaking duplicate content on YOUR OWN site is not an issue, although I would advise trying to make content unique. Duplicate content is generally a penalty applied to when someone copies content from a different site (not their own).
google is ranking each article on its own merits ...
so if you have two articles targeting the same or very similar keywords or with a lot of the same words then you are competing with yourself....
google will either ignore all bar one post or drop your site from ranking....
you can have as much duplicated content as you wish on your site ...if and only if you don't want to rank highly in google...
if you want organic traffic you have to play by their rules...
have fun
phil
I try not to use but change the content however feasible and relevant, that's what I would do.
However, if the case may be, they are yours original in your own words, you can use again.

How do you set featured image and add media in New Wordpress 5.2.4?
You should be adding feature images to all of your posts. You can do this within the post editor for each post that you create, down the right hand side below the tags you will see the option to upload a feature image (see attached image for reference)
This will add an image beside your content snippet on your blog roll which makes your blog roll much more visual.
Hey Rob,
Here is Marion's training video to help you: Featured Images Hope you find this helpful.
Hi Rob
If you select a new post (or edit an old post) in back office Wordpress and scroll over to the far right of the page and down a bit you will see a section underneath Tags which says Featured Image, click the link and it brings you to a page to upload a photo from either the media library, Mystock library or upload from your computer.
When you have selected your photo, remember to scroll up and save post. The attached might help with the visual...
Hi Rob. We are not sure if the ability to set a featured image is theme dependent. For us, the option appears on the right-hand side, near the bottom, when we are in 'edit post' mode. Hope this helps.

Is site comments down lately because there are never any comments to leave for? It's as if it's shut down or something. Anyone know anything?
I haven't been able to post any comments for days. There's never anything available to comment on.
The site comment is actually helping people to be able to sub again. Its not easy to survive the very first few months on WA
Rob,
There seem to be people who are camping out over there to get the $.50 for every other comment.
Ellen
Hi Rob, I think that since they have been paying people to comment, they get snapped up pretty quick!!
I'm kinda new here, but, you say most of the comments here were paid? Because I noticed when I registered, they were coming in like crazy (it was even bit hard to keep up), but it has gone down quickly.
Hi Manuel, I don't know much about it because I don't use it, but they brought it in last year. I have included the link to Israel's training "Get Paid to Post Comments" Get Paid to Post Comments All the best
Jenny
Hi Rob, from what I remember, when you set the comments to be spread out a certain way, that is how they'll come in. Before, even when you set them to show sparingly, they still came in like a tsunami, but that has recently been changed, might be related to what you noticed.
No it's not but comment requests are few and far between.
I think people may have got sick of having to spend 2 credits to get comments and have gone on strike :-)
By persevering with Try Again, I've had a few today.

What do you do everyday in this business that gets you more traffic and sales that is leading to your success? Care to share your secrets?
If you promoting WA, write more products reviews (ClickBank, JVzoo, WarriorPlus) - it will bring lots of traffic to your web site eventually.
I tend to be focused on different things each day, without neglecting the basics.
Today I'm writing another lesson in a course I'm creating for my site https://thescamwarrior.com. The course is called You - An Internet Marketer in 9 Days. It comprises 9 daily lessons, each one containing affiliate links to recommended products for that day's lesson.
The lesson I'm working on at the moment is how to use Thrive Themes, which I'm passionate about.
This will take me all day, so I'll probably spend tomorrow on a couple of blog posts, comment on a couple of websites and get some comments in return.
Well I had been trying to post more to my website. I have yet to make my first sale, but there are so many members promoting WA, you will have to write more content. Try to write something that grabs the visitor to your website and makes them want to join. Which I have yet to do, but I keep trying. If it is in another hiche I have no idea, but to write more useful and helpful content. You have to give the visitors something with lots of information about the niche, which I am just about ready to take on either a website about making your own wine,or a drop-ship website. Always remember, what ever you are promoting write a lot of interesting content. As always please like my comments as you read them. Thanks Sruffey
More content, and more comments...the better comments you have and the more you respond will also help. Use the Site Comments feature as it helped me
Cheers!
