It depends on what type of content you're writing. Are you writing for low competition keywords? Are you optimizing your pages for search engines (SEO)? With SEO'd pages, they should be able to rank (assuming low competition), and that should provide a steady flow of traffic.

You can consistently add content to help

Great question and great answers

It sounds normal to me. Constant adding content. Share on social media. Reshare old posts. Get comments. Use a mail list.

By keeping a constant flow of content creation and sharing, by offering something to your visitors, a sign up or an ebook download perhaps, you can include a button on your facebook page.

At same time, you're building an email list, in which you can market to the list.

By asking questions, engaging community.

By offering a less discounted trending product or offering free shipping and handling.

By creating a video that you think would go viral.

And the list goes on.

How do you remove a keyword and a site from the site rank section within Jaaxy?

If it's in your history of rank tracking, then you can't remove it. You can just do more searches and it will eventually disappear.

What's your goal with this?

Thanks, Nathaniel, that's the answer that I was looking for.
I just had some links on there that I didn't want anymore.

Ah, glad I could help!

I did one post the other day using Gutenberg and actually found very it good and useful, is anyone else here using it, what are your experiences with it?

Gutenberg is a friendlier User Interface if you are new to WP. If you are already familiar, you may actually work faster with the old editor.

It has the concept of blocks, which is good as you can edit the blocks individually. It does overlap a bit with the functionality of page editors.

I use both as Gutenberg does have some compatibility issues with some themes.

I use it on one of my websites. It's actually growing on me. I still find many things annoying about it, like there's no easy way to scroll to the bottom of long post, or some keyboard shortcuts don't work, or I can't see the whole post as a text editor (just a block), but there are some benefits to it too.

I like that I can change the alt text of an image without opening it up, or that I can insert HTML without flipping to the text editor.

Hey Simon,

It appears to be WordPress' attempt at including a page builder. Like other members who have already commented, I too prefer the Classic Editor.

Having preferred working with HTML and CSS for many years, it took me a LONG time to FINALLY jump in and start using WordPress.

Hope this helps you.

Never heard of it. I write my articles in either Notepad++ or Open Office Writer. Then when done copy & paste them into the WordPress normal editor. Classic I guess it is called now.

What is the main benefit of Gutenburg? Seems like the classic editor has everything that is needed to format, style, decorate and publish an article page.

I like the Classic much better.

I was just getting a hold on the Classic Editor when Gutenberg came out so I stuck with Classic. Here is a great tutorial from MarionBlack.

I am not...I prefer the Classic editor. It's probably a comfort level/familiarity thing really. I'm used to it, it works well for me, etc.

#MeToo. I must be getting old. Old and wise is tried and true.
Change for the sake of change is folly.

If my keyword research results in Jaaxy are as follows

AVG 128, Traffic 22, QSR 0, KQI great, and SEO 98

is this a good result?

Yes, those would be great results Simon! I say go for it.

Hi - are you actually clicking the "get QSR" button, which is actually located in the KQI column.

Yes, I am.

It's a good result Simon but I wouldn't be to excited about the 0 QSR. Lately quite a few of jaaxy's results have been coming through with a zero. I'd check out the keyword on Google first to see if anything comes up. Jim

Ok, thanks, Jim.

Simon, I have just roughed out a tutorial on precisely this subject. I will try and finalise it by tomorrow and let you know it's published.

Ok thank you

I haven't forgotten you. I am almost finished but I get so frustrated with the gymnastics required to follow Google stuff that I am throwing my hands up tonight. First thing tomorrow morning. Shouldn't take too much longer

Thanks, Helen
I am looking forward to seeing your tutorial.

So am I if I ever get it finished! Meanwhile you might like to get ready by making sure your website is ready and rearing to go. I have spelled out the steps on my latest website post. Here is the link. https://workingonthewildside.com/one-of-the-best-solutions-t...

Finally finished. And if I decide to do a Google thingy ever again I need my head read. Ever time they improve it, it becomes more incomprehensible!

Hi Simon:). Try checking under Acquisition/Overview, and sea if anything shows up:). You should be able to see how much traffic you have had, and where it is coming from.
Blessings:)

Hi Suzi
There is nothing showing, see screenshot.

That is strange. It should be showing up, unless you just set it up less than a week ago. I think it always tracks in week long increments, unless you set the date to a specific day.

I’m sorry I wasn’t much help.

It's ok Suzi
It has been set up for a long time and it was working in the beginning, I don't pay much attention to it but I like to know how much traffic is coming to my blog.

You might go over the training again, and see if you set it up the right way.

I don’t always think it’s 100% accurate. I hope you get it resolved:)

I think that I have fixed it, my UA code in my website had changed by one digit, so I corrected it to the right one and it seems to be working now although my analytics are starting over as day one is today!

Yea for you! I’m glad you fixed it!!! You know more than I do. I have no clue what a UA code is!

Have you checked in 'Real Time'?

Hi Robert, I have not been paying much attention to it, when I first set it up it seemed to be working and it was showing some hits, now it just shows zero's everywhere, and I know that I have had some visits in the last twenty-four hours, I used a 'bitly link' so that I could track a link that I posted on Facebook, that link is showing 16 clicks in 6 different countries but nothing is showing on Google Analytics.

Here's a good training on Google Analytics For Beginners

Thanks, Robert, I seem to have fixed it now.

That's great and always happy to help if and when I can.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Robert
