Why Has this Post Of Partha's only got 27 Comments and 44 likes, you should all be doing this.
I have to say I missed this article myself. I have been busy testing what is working now in 2024 on two new sites. It's been fun and games and a whole different ballgame.
Having said that something never change and getting a featured snippet is fantastic. Partha's methods will take you just about ten minutes. You only need to do it on the posts that rank on page 1.
I have two new websites and each have got 12-13 articles on page 1. I have another one that only has four articles on page 1.
I am now off to carry out those instructions. Anyone else should be reading this and taking the action on it.
One of the reasons I am reading Partha's posts so intently (Apart from the fact he knows what he is talking about, and I have been around long enough to assess that accurately), is the fact that I haven't seriously started new websites since 2017. One of my websites will affect the livelihood of a whole community of thousands of people. It is important to me that website succeeds.
Have my new websites been affected by Google updates. No of course not, they are too young. Of course, they will given time. I am doing everything I can to prevent/ minimize / curtail the effects by damage limitation strategies, and for now I personally think that is the best we can do.

Since the Core Update, most of my Reddit, Medium, and LinkedIn posts are ranking above my website's original content posts. I haven't posted on Quora, but answer a lot of questions over there. Of the 3 that do remain on the first page, 2 of 3 have snippets.
The blind squirrel found a couple of acorns. Now I know how to do it.
Thanks.

Thats fantastic, i am finding the same on Linkedin and Quora, so far I am ignoring Reddit
I agree that he knows what he's talking about. However, not too long ago I responded to one of his good posts and really wanted a reply. He didn't bother to respond. He's undoubtedly very busy, and I'm the smallest of small potatoes. Therefore, I won't bother responding to his posts any more. He has more important things to do than to answer me. There you have it. I might read them and I might not, but I will no longer reply.
Fran,
I will agree to disagree. Having never met or corresponded directly with Partha, I would not stop reading his musings and gaining his knowledge simply because he didn't reply to a question that I had for him.
I cannot count the number of times that I told someone RTFM! When I got a question that I assumed was basic knowledge. Regardless of sentiments, knowledge is power.

He passes out nuggets of interest like parents teaching life to their children. Each nugget comes with instructions. It is up to us to decipher the instructions and put them to use. I like to see how he thinks.
Now, if you have a question about something he is explaining, there is an even better tutor at your fingertips. Perplexity.AI uses real-time internet access and is an ace at most complex problems. While Lexi and I disagree on writing styles, she does serve up great insights on anything you can imagine.
Keep reading, keep learning, put a thumbs up, and keep progressing.

I hear you Fran, but I shudder to think how many requests he gets, Taking the personal out of it, you have to decide do you owe it to your business to act on it
Oh, I'll read his posts if I think he will tell me something I need to know. Just won't bother answering them any more.
I like your Perplexity AI suggestion.
Hi Fran - I presume it is the post below that you are talking about.
To be fair, yes, he is incredibly busy, running 3 very successful websites, and he has a wife and family.
And receives literally dozens of PMs here.
He perhaps skips through all the responses he gets looking for specific questions, rather than comments.
I am not sure what he could have said anyway, as your site is nearly 6 years old, you have over 500 posts, and clearly love what you are doing!
I doubt that you would suddenly change direction, based on what somebody else said, it would change the whole ethos of your site.
I think you have achieved success in your own unique way, and if you are happy with that, then just carry on being "you." What Does Google Want? Here’s What I Think (You're NOT Going to Like it)
Utterly & Completely distraught Fran... I'm Sorry
NOT at what you've said, but the fact that I've "ignored you" and made you feel this way.
Let me tell you something Fran (ssshhhh, don't tell anyone, LOL)
I have ALWAYS had a real soft spot for you.
Don't believe me, ask Diane what I say about you (Don't tell her Diane 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
If you really want to know...
My mum used to look at me and my nan together and comment, "What are you two up to, you've always got that cheeky little glint in your eyes, clearly you're up to mischief".
You have the SAME cheeky little glint in your eye that my beloved nan did.
Every time I see your profile image I feel heartache and utter joy at the same time.
I would NEVER knowingly ignore you.
SORRY!!
In future, if I haven't responded to something just send me a PM, I will 100% get back to you (please don't send me a PM after Thursday for the next couple of weeks, I'll be on holiday!! LOL).
I'm going to check the link that Diane's provided and get back to you, and if there is anything else, please let me know Fran.
Once more, I'm sorry, but just remember, you actually bring me joy (and a little heartache) without actually knowing it.
Thanks, Partha -- Nice message.
You might know how it is with us old folks...now I can't remember which post I answered but got no reply. It must have been vitally important, huh? I do respect your knowledge; will keep reading what you write.
Thanks for the sweet reply.
Aaaw, bless you...

Good morning Catherine,
I must admit that I also missed Partha's blog post! I like to try and glance at the top 10 stories on Wealthy Affiliate daily. But, of course, there are times when this doesn't happen and we can potentially miss something good!
I agree with you; Partha definitely knows his stuff and is worth listening to!
Well done for all your achievements and ideas, Catherine. Keep up the great work.
Have a great day.
Roy
Thank you Roy, I have to say I missed this one myself initially, but about every two weeks I go onto his profile and stalk him
It's always a pleasure, Catherine!
Stalking Partha is probably time well spent, as he certainly knows his stuff!
I trust that you are doing well.
Have a fantastic Sunday.
Roy
