Hi everyone,
to get my site ranked in Google could I get a helping hand? I have watched the video, maybe I'm not understanding it. Do I put my URL in the search bar and where it

I would agree with techhound all the best

Thank you

Hey Penny,

The URL option would serve you better by putting in high ranking competitors' URLs so that you can see what keywords they are targeting and try to utilize some of what they are doing.

What you want to use Jaaxy for at this point is to type in keywords related to your niche (and use the Keyword option in the dropdown). Then do an analysis of the best keywords based on the parameters that were given in the training. Then you can structure your blog posts around those better keywords.

Let me know if this makes sense.

Best Regards,
Jim

Ok, ths t makes a little more sense, thanks Jim

Hey Penny,
As your website gets more established, you can use the URL option with your website in Jaaxy at that point to see what keywords Jaaxy finds and how it ranks them. But for now, use the URL option for checking on your competition.
Best Regards,
Jim

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I can fix my site title, right now it looks like this Wealthy Affiliate An Honest Home business. As you can see business needs to be capital.It

Yea, you can fix that easily. Follow ChristophrLee's directions.

Thank you mackejw

Hi Penny, I just checked on a test site I have on the rubix side.

I changed the title in Themes > Customize and it shows the change in the header

I did the same in Settings > General and it worked there too. The header shows the change.

However, it does not change what's is shown in the footer. So if you change the title as shown above, it's alright. Your footer may not reflect the change.
What is important though, is that it will change in the "Page Source" and that's what the search engines are seeing. I need to check how to change what's in the footer.
John

Penny, my Theme is Platform and the theme settings allow to change the footer. You may check your theme settings also for the footer display.
You should be good to make the changes.
John

What is your URL and where does your site title show?
John

Here is the URL http://howtomakehonestmoneyfromhome.siterubix.com

You can go to Settings and then General from your dashboard and change the site title, or you can go to Appearance then Customize ... either way should work.

Thanks ChristphrLee

Hi everyone I was wondering if you can look at my site and give some feedback? Of course it's not done yet but for what I've done so far I really need feedback.
Thanks

Why is the last word not Capital "Wealthy Affiliate An Honest Home business" in the title?
"Where all I have been", I don't know, if there something wrong with this sentence?

I will fix it, thanks

Hello shorty. You just got started! My advice is to change your background. It detracts from the main header. Look at "Subtle backgrounds" and choose a darker shade and that will make a world of difference subtlepatterns.com I will also give you a couple of really good places to find free images to commercially use in your site
depositphotos dot com/?ref=3220881&gclid=CIz084nS-L4CFdFafgoduGwAtA
.morguefile dot com. and lastly I would seriously suggest a good website security and a back up plugins. I just went through literal hell because I did not put this on my site. I had to rebuild a new site; thedomesticatedhome dot com
1)All In One WP Security
2)Easy Google Fonts
3) You really need this to help your site get ranking; Google XML Sitemap
4)Simple Share Buttons Adder
5) And this is the best out here, it will basically coach you with regard to key words (not important) focus key word and meta description
6) WordPress SEO by Yoast.. by and by the best.

I hope I was able to help. if you have any questions, I'd love to help!

Hi shorty, it's coming on, change your menu around put Home, getting started, about me, I think this looks better, change your header to something more personal it will look more professional and make some of your text links back to WA, but other that that your doing fine.

Well done for getting your site up and running. You're going in the right direction - now all you have to do is add more content. I would look at your first subheading on your about page starting , "where all..." Doesn't actually make grammatical sense and it jars when read. The rest is just great. :) Beverley

Thanks Beverley, I will fix it when I get home

Sorry shorty49, I copied and pasted your URL into my browser; it didn't open, maybe you need to check to see what is wrong. Did anyone else experience this?

Opened OK for me :)

Thanks again dblacksmith, I will have to try that. I appreciate your feedback:-)

On my websites I do it with html coding. On word press you might have to change your theme. but you can easily alter the overall background color that may make it a little less stark.
Login to your admin dashboard
Click on Appearance
Click on customize (will provide side bar menu with possible alterations of color etc. Allows you to see the look with out saving it.
If you change your colors etc. You will be given the option at top "Save and Publish" then it will go live. You can always adjust it later as well.
I hope this helps.

Hi Penny I took a look at your website and I really like the header graphic. One of my favorite pictures! I would say it is a good foundation and of course add more content. One thing and this is just my personal preference I like to have a slightly contrasting background to the actual pages. Others will prefer the clean white on white look (such as here on wealthy affiliate) I just like to have some color in the margins.
Best of success.

Thanks blacksmith, if I did want to add color like you mentioned how do I do that?

Thank you, I appreciate it steveo5770

I guess at this point I would recommend breaking up that long paragraph on your getting started page.
That list of 3 things needed for success. You have the right idea there but you could certainly elaborate on those 3 and describe HOW WA helps in those area's.
