Christina, I like your writing. It flows nicely, and kept me interested. You have done some nice work there. It is a great start. Thanks for the invite!

Wow, I really like your site. Your hard work shows with this. You amount of content is impressive. I agree with Beverly, the font could be a little larger. Pat yourself on the back, Kudo, job well done.

I really like your site! I have some constructive commentary. Have someone else read your articles to proof them. There are some errors that might distract certain readers. That really cute picture that says "Start Here" acts like a link but doesn't do anything other than open the picture. I think the content of your About Me is really friendly and makes the reader want to trust you. I also really like the premise of your brand Wealthy Reality and I think you should capitalize it whenever you use it. good luck!! :-)

Very informative I enjoyed reading it. Also I left up us comment

gosh your site is so good! so rich in content. i am thinking of change my niche now with such a strong competitor like you =p.

Hey Christina,
You've got a great framework with which to start earning you money. One aspect that I think you could tweak is to add more internal links (links to other posts/pages on your site). This is a great way to improve your rankings and it serves to add value to your visitors.
Best Regards,
Jim

Hey :) The only things i don't like is that when you click on a picture it go to the page and then have to go back to the site. You can use the plugin wp lightbox 2 and then every picture on yout website will open on a lightbox with the possibility of closing it :)

Sorry my english not perfect :)

You did a great job goodluck

Hi Christina - You have obviously been putting in a huge amount of work and I think your site is looking really good - apart from one issue. I actually think your font is far too small and I actually couldn't cope with it for more than a minute or so. I tried several times - but I don't think it's comfortable. Don't rush into change it - see what others think - but I thinks it's something you need to be aware of.

Options is to change template, use Ultimate tiny MCE plugin or change your CSS style sheet (which I don't advise unless you know what you're doing) :) Beverley

Hi! The link does not work. Thanks

This link doesn’t work

Hi I tried this link and it says your domain name has expired. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks

Thank you so much Christina!. It will help a lot of members here. :)

Great tutorial, well done.

Your site is excellent, I can see you have worked very hard to build your content. I will be interested in the comments of others and also if this makes any difference to your traffic.

Hi Good job with your tutorial. For those who wants a personalized social media icons, this is a refreshing change. I am learning something here. Thank you.

Done and nice tutorial :)

Thanks for all the input everyone. I have struggled with several of these. Time management, traffic, niche ideas, and info overload. But I can honestly say WA made all of these so much easier for me to tackle. :) Slow and steady is excellent advise!

Mine has been just finding the time to do everything. Or to find CHUNKS of time. It sucks only getting 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there - makes it really hard to get a flow going. But that's the problem when you have a full time job and two kids at home. Basically - just the time needed to make this a success,

The number one struggle i had was driving traffic to my site! i overused keywords. Thanks to WA i understood how to drive this traffic and more importantly targeted traffic or audience! Just take it slow and focus on understanding the lessons and not just doing it! I'm sure you will do great!

I tried to move forward in courses without having a web site. Once I got my site, I didn't remember a thing and I had to start all over. I am a little slow on WordPress, but I am moving forward. You can do it, take your time.

Take it slow. I went too fast and made the big mistake of skipping around with the lessons. That is a sure way to get confused.

Take your time. I have seen some posts where members have gone through the training, 2 and 3 times. If, that's what it takes to grasp all of "this" then do it.

I also keep a lot of notes. I find that just by writing things that I have learned down on paper, helps it stick in my memory better.

The main struggle I had was 1) the overload of information on the internet regarding Affiliate/Internet marketing. It's easy to get caught up in it so now that I'm a part of WA I pretty much just focus on my lessons. 2) the overload of information on Wealthy Affiliate...LOL! There is so much information on this site that it can be overwhelming. I think in general my issues were just staying on task and I definitely think WA helped with that. I just follow the step by step lessons and do exactly as Kyle and Carson say. So far so good.

Hi - I struggle with time management mostly. I have a 9-5, and 3 young boys - so by the time I get on here at night, I'm already quite tired.

I also struggle to not read posts - people asking for help, or people answering questions for help - and contributing where I can add some value.

But I can say that as I immerse myself within WA - things do begin to click - and you start to get a real sense of what you should be doing. I'll get around to it (I am working on it), but I also really enjoy the social aspect of WA. It's my FaceBook :) But for a good end game - rather than pointless pictures of your breakfast!!

All the best, Mark

One step at a time!

I suffered from information overload when I found WA. What do I do next? How do I do that? Should I do this? A million questions. The way WA helped me was by having a step-by-step way of teaching and a checklist at the end of each lesson. It doesn't take long before you feel like you are really accomplishing something which reinforces your motivation to keep going.

It's the NICHE, it's the NICHE

Thank you everyone for all the help!!

Christine, I understand your frustration. I checked your Google position for the term "pleochoric category" (not a high traffic term) but I needed something I could find quickly. And you are showing in Google search on Page 1 No. 4 position. So your authorship is working, for that post anyway.

Here's a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o5xtshivxsbv9am/Christine.png

Your picture is unlikely to be in search anywhere except your domain name because Google is reducing the instances of our author photos showing up. You have to be a top level author before you image will appear next to posts.

I found a thread in the Google Webmaster Forum, which is a the best place to post Google-related issues or to check if anyone else has had the same issue.

Look for the reply by Ian J Gough, and then use the link he has provided to his blog where he has more information on the solution.

How well the snippet works seems to be theme dependent. Check your
theme editor files to see if you have the two possible php files in your theme editor
that he refers to. The files are usually listed in the right column after you select the theme at the top of the column.

Be sure to back up your site, and to copy/paste/save the code file so you have a backup to restore should you mess up the adding of any new code.

I suggest you do more Google searches, as there may be other solutions or opinions.

I do not know how far along you are into your training, but by looking at your website I just have a few suggestions. First of all your home page should consist of information about your site. You need to write a complete blog explaining what your site is all about and what you can do for people with very informative information. Make sure you research a good keyword phrase title for the page that describes your website to a tee and will drive lots of traffic to it. then you will need to insert your keyword title phrase within the first sentence so it shows up in your snippet. Then you will need to research and find a good keyword phrase for each of your post and build content around them. I prefer not to have all of my post show up on my home page it is just too confusing and people will bounce right away. Get them interested in each of your post to get them to go to other pages in your site. I hope this helps you out.

These errors are preventing my rich snippet from showing. It says my authorship is correctly in place. When I do the testing tool it shows my rich snippet pic. But not in search results due to these errors.

What is it you're trying to do exactly? Set up authorship?

if you mean the few lines of text that appear under every search result, when I looked at your site the rich snippet showed up ok for me

Thank you Jude! I appreciate that! I haven't figured out the side photo for the posts yet. I'm absolutely at a loss too the errors. How it would recognize the site as an organization is crazy to me. I have spent hours in the editor. I found the (fn) but do not know how to correct the code. And also the main focus of the page. It's extremely frustrating. I did disable the gravitars with no change. Which is why I am pretty positive it is a theme editor code. Just don't know where to find the answers. I found a few sites but the code is way different then mine.

First, let me say that I love your site. It's fantastic. I could not see the images that are to the left of each post. I could however see the placement holder for the image. (I am using Firefox).

Have you tried to disable your Gravatar to see if it makes a difference? I've been using Gravatar for a long time and have never noticed such an issue. Is the Gravatar the only place you use the photo?

P.S. A minor typo on your About page - should be "their wallets" not "there".

~Jude

I am doing my due diligence and searching there seems to be a code error in the themes editor. I am still at a loss though as I can not find the code to correct. Code issue is with the "name (fn) .

Don't know yet............but I will approaching this issue soon.
