Hello Good People of WA

I know I should do a search, and I think I've already read this in the training somewhere, but.

Do the blog comments, and my replies to the c

Yes good interaction on your website does help with ranking

SEO definitely considers them, so yes they do.

Yes definitely it does help, Martin. I have also found out it's a good idea to add a keyword to comment if they haven't done so but in a natural way - and don't over do it! For instance, change "this site has helped me etc" to "(name of site/keyword) has helped me etc."

Thanks for the help Wriot

Martin! Thanks for asking this question; if it was in the training I didn't understand it to be part of what we were doing inside of WA. So, don't worry about already reading it; all of us needed reminding for sure.

Yes, and you want to keep people engaged as much as possible so that they not only come back but refer others.

Ill try to do this too.

Yes. And it's in the training. Google likes to see you engage.

Absolutely! M

Hi Martin! -

They most certainly do!

If they are relevant content!

Content is content -- And Google and the other search engines love content.

A comment like - "good site" - won't do much!

Thanks David

They help your rank for sure! I can attest to this with one of the luggage scale reviews I wrote on my website. Combined with comments of my visitors and my replies to them I got 22 comments and in a matter of days I was on page 1 in Google. Social sharing helps, too.

As for keywords... comments should be written in a natural way just like your replies. Anything else is known as "keyword stuffing" and you don't want Google to accuse you of that ;)

Hey Martin,

What you need is sales!

In order to get sales, you'll need people.

In order to get people, you'll need to socialize. This is where we use the word, ENGAGE!

Give to others first so that they will give back (hopefully). Comment on their sites and share with them quality stuff or just stuff that will melt their hearts, etc.

Get ranking is good but having people around you is much better. And be nice, you'll never know who will recommend you to their network/people.

Hope that helps. :)

Jenn! What a bunch of Nice Things to Say! Really lots of good info here that I had no idea about and I especially like the part about "just stuff that will melt their hearts"! Thank you for sharing this too.

Glad it helps you too, Rene. Thank you. Let's keep in touch. :)

Couldn't have said it any better, Jenn! :)

Thanks Jenn, that is definately the side of business I need to practice.

You're welcome, Martin. :) Won't be too difficult, there are a lot of us you can practise with. ;)

Can I do a search for a member who's not in my network

Featured Comment

If you know the members name (even if you don't know the whole thing), just start typing it in the question box above and names will come up and you should be able to find the person you're looking for.

I found um :)

Question answered! Great! :))

Thanks, that also answered one of my questions.

See Sui has answered you hope you find the person your looking for

Glad you asked the question. It's not always as obvious to us as it is after we know the answer.

The only way I know if that person is in your network, is by either clicking on your profile, then your network, then who you are following.
If it is a member that is not in your network, click on Rank in the top right corner, scroll down page to find person, then click on their name. I hope this helps,
Ken

DOH,
I really should have tried that :-)
Thanks tribe82

Not real intuitive that it would take you to a user page....I asked the same question, or saw the answer before,,,,,that is why I knew the answer...LOL!

yes, if you know the name just type it in the search bar on top of the screen
John

Type their name up in the query box at the top of the screen where it says need help.....Ask your question here. If you know their handle type it in there and it should take you to their home page.

I've found a great domain but it's only avaliable in co.uk , If I purchase this domain am I limiting my audience? should I keep searching for a suitable domain with .com

Thanks for all the help. I kept up my search and bought a .net

It will be limiting. I would keep searching.

You are, but 58 million people in the UK, so not a bad audience to have

You would be limiting you audience for sure, like Leo said .com, .org or .net are other options. Kim :))

Yes you are limiting your audience as these domain extensions are primarily for people who live and market in the UK

It's best to find a .com if that's not available then search for a .org or a .net

well I have both uk and com.. depends where you want to target, its ok for me as I am in the UK... think it goes dot com, dot org then you region perhaps you might have to consider another name or add a letter to what you want and see if you can get it.. just about playing around with it

.com .net .org are the best ones to use in my opinion

.com or .org will rank higher in search engines.
but if the name and the price are right, i would go for it.
