The last couple of weeks have been very stressful for me. Not only was I having issues with my website and Google Webmaster Tools, but my personal life was stressful as well. With Thanksgiving and Black Friday the restaurant I work at was busy and stressful as well.

I was starting to feel negative about things, and ready to just give up. That's not normal "me".

So I took a few days off WA, I had to spend some valuable time with my daughter. She is the most important person in my life.

I had one task left in my last training lesson for my level 5 certification at the time. The task was to write a review or article and publish it on my website. And I just had figured out what I did wrong with my website and was fixing it.

In the time I took off I also thought about what I really want from my website, and about the fact that I need to get my crap together and make it happen.

So I came back strong and wrote my article, and I am trying to get my rankings in WA back where they were before. And I am also working on getting my website back to where it was before I messed up too.

I am sure that I am not the only member that has been having issues with Google Webmaster Tools and indexing and what not. I went through so many issues over a simple typo that was my own error.

When you enter your property domain name, make sure you enter it as https://, not http://, it really does make a difference and will mess you up with rankings and already indexed articles as well.

I am still sending sitemaps daily trying to get Google to crawl pages that were indexed and are no longer showing up in Google.

My new articles and reviews are having no issues at all. One or two are ranked #1 in Google, Bing, and Yahoo, that really made me so very happy!

I hope that helps even just one person. The struggle with this was so harsh!

I almost forgot the most exciting thing that happened upon my return. I got an invitation from an affiliate program, the manager wrote a comment on my site, he said he was impressed with the appearance of my site and my writing.

This, of course, made me feel like I was on top of the world! I told my daughter that it is like a job offer, only better. It also means that I am getting recognized! That is HUGE!

Being only 2 months in I have not expected to make any commissions yet, which I have not. But, gaining recognition as an authority in my niche, from another person of authority in my niche, has got to be a good step!

So back to work now! Have a wonderful afternoon all!
