Hi, I a m trying to launch a website using a domain name that I have transferred in the WA. It doesn't appear in my list of websites when I get to that stage at the Launch Webs
As Rudy has noted, it takes up to 72 hours for a website to be pointed to WA servers and up to seven days in the case of transfer-dependent registrars.
But absolutely keep trying in the site domains area

Thx Rudy, I did the transfer a couple of weeks ago. Tho I noticed two days ago only, that it wasn't pointing to the WA name servers. I'll give it another few days.
I've sorted it. I had not enabled website hosting under the list of things to do in my list of domain names. Thanks, Rudy for answering my query. Have a great Sat/Sun.

Trying to build website bu the name is not appearing?

Then again, after checking the domain, it has been purchased here, so there is no need to do anything; you should have it listed in your site domains anyway.
Have you done something to it?
If so, it usually ques a bit; however, you can forward a ticket to support to see what is happening to it.

Thx Abie, I transferred the domain name only into WA. It is listed in my domains, but doesn't appear as an option to select as the domain of a new website. I'll keep trying - tbh I'm a little embarrassed that my post has appeared as a post here - I thought I'd raised a support ticket. Just my ususal weekend confusion ;-)
Simon
Thanks, Abie, I hadn't selected the enable hosting option for my domain name. I've done it now and am good to go.

My niche is related to a period in history. It's one where I was around, so I do have artefacts and family pictures from the era.
However, I have now arrived at the time
Hey Simon,
In this case, here's what I would do... see screen print below...
In this way, you are NOT stealing the image as it remains on the website you inserted the image URL from.
However, make sure you have the Broken Links plugin so that if the website you insert the image from decides to prevent your usage, so that you can look for another site to insert from URL.
That is what that option is for... and I've even done that with many of my Wiki images whenever possible.
Hope you find this helpful.
Thank you all for your input - @TheAbiePPlus, @davebux and @FrankB-1. I think that I have a number of options. I could buy artefacts and photograph those. I could use Wikimedia Commons. AI is a bit hit and miss and as Abie says, copyright on those is a tricky issue. Some of the images of tennis players with similar descriptions to Borg and McEnroe that I've just had served up... ;-) ... were odd to say the least.
Or, I could invest in a subscription to Shutterstock or similar. It looks like they offer a small number of downloads for a little less than 20GBP which is around the same in USD or Euros.
Simon
Shutterstock should be good :) You may check out AppSumo, as they may have offers on certain apps - I had three to four awesome deals in the past from that site :)
And keep us updated on your progress.

Frank beat me to it. Asking AI to generate an image like xxx is only the same as you drawing or painting that image yourself. Its your drawing. Well not quite the same, depending how good your drawing skills are.
Someone can patent an electric kettle, but there is nothing to stop you creating your own kettle that still looks like a kettle. It happens all the time.

Hi Simon
In addition to Abie’s suggestions, AI-generated images may also be a possibility, depending on the degree of authenticity and proper detail you require.
I use lots of AI-generated images in my guitar niche and have created Custom GPTs that provide fairly high detail, for things such as wood finishes, control knob configuration, etc.
AI-generated images are free to use. Try asking AI to look at a portrait and create an accurate image from it in a particular setting. You can indicate something like “AI-generated similarity for educational purposes” if it is to be used in an academic publication.

Can anyone advise on the use of copyrighted images?

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?
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.
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.
