Wow, best week ever for posts rising in Google.
Monday is the day my Wincher.com ranking report gets updated. I am very pleased to see this is my best week/month yet! My keywords have risen a total of 402 places overall, with the highest rise being 82 places for one post and the second highest being 66 places! The worst is a drop of 31 but overall the total increase is 402! I think this is the total for the month, not just the last week, but in any case this is the best total I have ever had.
I really love the simplicity of Wincher. It is a little confusing and I still don't understand some components but that seems to be the case with all rank trackers.
This image shows the totals as well as the first page of the chart. There isn't a whole lot of movement on this page of the chart since the posts in the tops spots have stayed there. There is more movement in the latter pages further down the ranks.

What I love about your site is how much interaction there is... so many comments on your posts. You are nailing it.
My only comment would be: blog more!
I don't mean that in any kind of negative way by any means. I think you have a platform here to REALLY make an impact. Hammer out an extra blog post on Saturday & Sunday perhaps. Try to get 3-5 posts per week. I think you'll really see a difference!
Two other comments, you can take them or leave them :)
1. Remove the affiliate disclosure from the main navigation. Just put a link to it in the footer.
2. [Big One].... There is literally no place to sign-up for anything. No form to trade an email for some kind of report or bonus.
#2 is where it's at. I had an UGLY 2-page blog with a simple email sign-up form and built an entire business from it. The email list helped us in our launch. It was invaluable.
You're doing the right things - keep it up!
Thanks, I started to sign up for an email/newsletter service but it turned into a fiasco. I just decided to focus on my content for now. That has been going slower than I wanted! Thanks for taking a look though! I have had a very high conversion rate sometimes getting a 1 to 1 ratio of sales and clicks through to Amazon so I have been lucky in that regard.
I also focused on social media for awhile but see that it is a much better use of my time to focus on adding content first and requesting comments which really boosts my post rank in the search engines. Right now I want to focus on content first. I will add the email though too.
Thanks!
I like the suggestion to take the affiliate disclosure off but thought we were supposed to have it. You think the blurb at the end of each post is enough?
You can include a link in your footer nav to the disclosure page. That's how most ppl go about it and it is compliant.
But then wouldn't the disclosure still be a "page" and therefore show up the same as it does now?
I assume your site is WordPress. If so, go to Appearance, then Menus and you can remove that page from your main navigation. Most themes have an option for a footer navigation where you can put that link instead.
Well done with your results Jessica.
I have never heard of Wincher, so thank you for the awareness. I use Google Analytics and it's been really good with my schnauzer site, but I'm having a problem with it on my affiliate site. Wincher might be the answer!
I really got lucky since I got my account for free with Wincher. Everyone who has tried in response to my recommendations has said they charge now. I guess I got in early enough that I got mine for free! I am not sure how much they charge, it is pretty low I think. I saw something about a free 14 day trial on there today.
Thanks for that information Jessica. I'll have a look and see what their offer is. I didn't think of it being a paid tool, but it's worth investigating.
Interesting! Congratulations! It looks like I am afraid to check something like that for my site. :)
It is really useful for me since I can see what is going up and what is going down. For the ones going down, I will go and request comments on those posts in order to help them climb back up.
It really is quite amazing when you think about all the different things we have access to, that allows us to monitor different aspects of our business.
Thanks for sharing about your progress, Jessica!
Thanks V. I have been feeling a bit discouraged due to lower traffic and not having time to post on my site etc. so it gave me quite a boost to see my rankings going up! That means I will get more traffic!!
Absolutely!!! You are one of the most consistent people I see on this platform, Jessica. I have no doubt that your traffic will increase.
It just goes to show we should never give up since something can be brewing in the background and we might not even know it!
Thank you!

Jessica, this is great! You are doing soo good. Congratulations!
I haven't heard about Wincher.com until now. I did sign up for Jaaxy in August. Haven't used the new version very much yet. Within Jaaxy we also can get keyword and page ranking reports. Do you know, is there a big difference between Jaaxy and Wincher?
:-)
I don't use the paid version of Jaaxy, but I suspect it is a superior platform. If you already have Jaaxy, I would not bother with Wincher since you have to pay for Wincher now anyway.
Thank you Jessica for your advice!!
Very good to know.
Have a great day!
:-)
