And set up a webmail or forward to a mailbox.
Yep your site has to be pointed to WA servers, in order to use webmail.

Yes, you can get a New Email Forward choosing a domain name even though you haven't installed a WordPress site there. The domain name must be shown in the dropdown menu (choose a domain) to be able to choose it. Otherwise, the domain name transfer has not been completed yet.

It’s straightforward.

Yes. I've been trying through that link and have been unsuccessful at getting the mail forward to be verified through Gmail. I've done this successfully with mail forwards for several other websites, which is why I'm slightly thrown that it hasn't been straightforward this time around...

Is providing comments on others' websites in order to receive and respond to comments on my articles a good use of my time? In other words, where does it fit within the 80/20 r
I guess my question wasn't as clear as I intended. I know the value in terms of engagement and trust with new readers.
My real question is, should I be spending the requisite time to actually post comments to other websites in order to be able to request comments on my posts?
Or should I start building an extra $50 to $100 into my monthly budget to simply buy credits to request comments through WA?
Thanks y'all!
I can't really answer your question as I don't have the data (I guess no one except Google does) on how much comments actually affect your SEO. If you can build relevant backlinks for a similar (time or money) investment, that is probably more useful. As is creating more content. I've done the 20/80 in a way that I try to get one or two comments on every new post and that's it. I actually use the given and take comemnts threads as you can just exchange comments on one for one principle.
if you have the cash to invest in your biz like that then sure
;) 20 bucks is a nice budget, I don't think we need to go terribly nuts with comments.
More naturally and consistent, slow and steady:) wins the race.
Oh okay. And yeah, why not?
I know some members here who'd rather buy credits to request comments (TonyHamilton is one of them), instead of spending hours leaving comments on other members' sites in exchange for credits.
Thanks Jukkah! A good friend of mine also suggested utilizing more time to build relevant backlinks. Do you have any resources on that front I should look into?
Good afternoon Tucker,
I see my websites as living entities, they demand time and care. I rotate my old posts, check them if all is ok, add this or that, get a new date and ask for more comments.
This system keeps old posts alive and with the new date SEO will look at them again.
A visitor will see comments made in different years and that will give a good impression plus the comments count as added content to your post.

I like that analogy! I have also been going through to update old posts. I'm realizing it's something that I should be working into my schedule on maybe a quarterly basis so that I don't fall too far behind. Thanks for the advice!
Good evening Tucker,
Everybody has his/her system. I found that checking on old posts is good for my websites. All the best.
Stay safe and healthy,

Having comment on your website improves your standing with Google. Normally it would take a while to get comments organically. Wealthy Affiliate has set up this system to give us a head start.
Also. when someone arrives at your post organically, it will look good to them to see they are not the first.
Hope this helps.

Hey Edwin! I definitely recognize this value. Am just at a stage where I'm contemplating the best use of time and $$ to grow engagement and build site authority!
I think building trust with your readers is a big reason why we should do it.
Because if you think about it when you personally go online to buy something or learn about a topic — you like to go to to the review section or comments and see what people are saying.
So by getting comments on your website you can let your readers know more about the topic and also show them how your a real personal trying to help people and not some anonymous person behind the screen.
Plus answering 2-4 comments a day ( which all you need per post ) takes maybe 10-15 minutes.
So I don’t this small task taking up too much of my time.
Hope this helps. :)

Can you see your domain name under “choose a domain”?
Yes
