It's always stated the importance of having a mentor to guide you, and I appreciate the guidance from this group.... but I need a Travel mentor. I have good stories (2 time na

I notice you mention Israel and India as well as new countries in the former Yugoslav polyglot. I'm not sure if you are concentrating on tourism or products of interest for those regions or if you are expanding geographically. You can google for commercial interests in your destinations of choice!

I am not sure what you are looking for and I did not understand your website. If you are looking for something to do with travel then Skyscanner have an affiliate program.

Cheers, William

Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

I've recently activated SUMOME's content analytics, and on my latest post - http://packingthewriteway.com

Thank you for sharing this information.

I think too much about the history & the emporer early on. If someone, like me hasn't read the first couple of pages about Split, then I want an intro that gives me a quick overview of what to expect & what I've missed so far in parts 1 & 2.

If I've already read 1 & 2 then maybe I've had enough of Split by now.

Problem is now you have three posts on Split. Google doesn't know which is the most important one. You're confusing it.

Write one long, authoritative post about a town / location & it'll rank better. Plus it'll keep readers happy as everything they need is in one place.

Also do something about the navigation. On the menu, have a category for travel articles & another for reviews. Keep them separate.

Link to the reviews from the articles.

Thank you IMc. Really appreciate the feedback. Parts 1&2 are about different cities, but I obviously haven't made that clear. I've addressed that now.

I've only recently switched back from the separate reviews menu as it didn't have any noticeable impact, but I guess that's a fault of the entire website and the lack of any brand.

Thanks again for your feedback. I'll get to work thinking the intro too :)

Croatia – Part 3 – Split – Romans, Warmth and Fishheads all the important words should have capital letters in the title.

Make sure you make all your paragraph titles colorful.

When writing make it like you and the reader took that trip.

Write and try to make the reader feel like you are talking to them.

I have tried to help you a little bit hope my suggestions will work out for you! -Anis

Anis, thank you very much!

Title has been changed. I honestly hadn't given any thought to it, but I guess it's those little things that can make a big difference.

It was supposed to be mainly a gallery post, but if people aren't even sticking around for the photos then I need to raise my game.

I'll work on my engagement for the next post, and if I nail it then I'll come back and rewrite Part 3.

Again, thanks for your help. Very much appreciated :)

Hello, I'm confused.

When I type my website title (packingthewriteway) into Google, it brings up the website as the second hit, but all the rest of the entries are site

Check them with https://www.serplab.co.uk/serp-check.php

Hi Dorina62,

Interesting tool! Thank you kindly.

Apparently I'm ranked in the individual pages - 24th being the highest... which is a decent start. But this doesn't seem to answer why they don't come up on a google search of my website name. Shouldn't all related subpages come up?

You can check all with Serp. Also you can check with Jaaxy,(Site ranking)
