Hi, I'm just going to set up some landing pages. Question, my blog is about items that are sold by many vendors, so do I have a landing page per vendor or per individual item?

Individual item :) You need to test what works and discard what doesn't.

By item, then you can place multiple vendors for that item on the same page and let the reader make the choice of who they buy from.

Hi Simon,

I’d suggest testing each way.

And depends on how easy it would be for someone to find the item that they’re looking for…on on the linked page… if you do per vendor

Per item would be more focused. And it doesn’t matter the number of landing pages you create and have.

For example I’m in the real estate field and I can make a landing page for every house for sale individually if I chose to do so.

Typically you don’t put landing pages on your website menu. Unless they’re for something evergreen.


Thanks, Holly, I write about vinyl records and associated paraphernalia so unless I am writing about a high-end turntable then I think a page per product would mean nothing but landing pages. I may try one per vendor though...

Simon ;-)

Hey Simon,

YIKES, if you were to create a landing page for every affiliate link to products and/or services, your website would be nothing but landing pages.

Following Kyle's training, you'll learn how to add affiliate links (sprinkled!) in your content so that the article draws in your readers... and those links should offer a solution to the problem you're writing about.

Hope that makes sense and that this helps you.

Thanks, Trish. Sensible to go with the idea of following Kyle to the letter - he's not done badly doing it his way ;-)

I will probably try landing pages, however, as a gateway to individual sellers of vinyl records which are the items under discussion on my website.

Simon

The only 'landing pages' I've created in my MMO website are ALL different styles that lead ONLY to WA.

Just a thought...

I've found other products/services appear and disappear so fast that it's easier to find a new product/service to use in place of those that disappear... or simply remove the affiliate link... then to totally replace a landing page per product/service.

Thank you. I agree with your suggestion. I am set on my course now ;-)

The purpose of a landing page is to promote a product that you'll get paid for (such as an affiliate commission) if a visitor clicks on it and makes a purchase.

So that should be your guide. Which vendors do you have an affiliate agreement with?

Promote their products on your landing pages.

Thanks, Phil. I'm writing about records, record labels, and musical genres. I haven't yet, but I intend to start writing about individual sellers - a landing page per seller would be a good strategy I think, but not per product because there are millions.

Good morning all!

I have just cut and pasted my latest article into the new editor. It has several tables which are now just columns of text. Is there any way to reconfi

Nice to meet you here, just added your following. Wish the best in affiliate marketing business.

Hi Simon

Going forward you might consider building your tables in the Block Editor using a table block.

Also, tables created by Bard and ChatGPT can be copied and pasted into a paragraph block and get converted to a table block automatically.

Thanks Frank. I think I am a victim of crossover - I had always used Word to write, then uploaded through the (old) WA editor. Somebody may have advised this, though I may have dreamt it... dreams/reality do blur for me.

Happy rest of Sunday / have a good Monday to you.

Simon

Same to you, Simon! 😎

You are well covered here with some excellent advice, and guidance.

Please let the community here know if you still have any further questions.

You have a FANTASTIC response here; I hope you can manage it.

is there not a table block ...
or if you copy and paste jsut the table into your editor on your site does it not add it just as a table...
it probably got confused between the two types of text - paragraph and table...
make sure your table looks good on mobile by using hte preview as mobile at the top of the editor....

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. My problem is this:

I have a series of articles using several tables with two columns and two rows. I have uploaded these from Word into the old WA editor and they rendered fine in that and they also looked fine when published in WP.

I did the same thing with the latest article in the sequence, but now, in the new editor, the tables just look like this:

Heading 1
Heading 2
Content column 1
Content column 2

Instead of this:

Heading 1 Heading 2
Content column 1 Content column 2

I have not yet published an article with tables to WP using the new editor, but they looked fine in WP when I was using the old editor - and they are fine on a mobile device too.

Thank you,

Simon ;-)

i would add this to the official bug thread as they may not be aware of it...
search for it at the top under the spyglass
if you have written it in word why are you not publishing it to your site....
why add the extra step of going through contenteditor on wa....

Thanks for this. I had already started it in Word - I won't need to do it again ;-)

Can anyone help out here? I've been offering comments, most have been accepted, and two have been refused. Why do I have a comment approval rate of 94% and a skip rate of 26%?

You are very well covered here, with some excellent advice and guidance. If you have any further questions, please let the community know!

-Mike

Thanks :)

Any further issues, you can also discuss with Kyle. :)

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/kyle

Hi - the skip rate relates to the number of comments you have passed on, and that you have clicked Ignore Site because presumably, you are not interested in the niche.

Cheers Diane. I will adjust my settings so I don't get so many sites that I find difficult to comment meaningfully on.

To be honest, I don't think the settings really work.

I think they are more for the purpose of sending you an email, if a site requests comments and it matches your interests.

However, if you go directly to the Site Comments feature, it's the luck of the draw what type of site you get offered.

If you are not interested in a particular site, then just hit your back button or click elsewhere within WA, and then try again a minute later.

That way, hopefully, that particular site will have been taken by somebody else, and your Skip Rate won't be affected.

Great advice. Thanks, Diane. Hope the weather in Notts is as good as it in in N Wales this morning.
