The Internal Linking Mistake I Made for Years (And You Might Be Too)

For years I thought I had my internal linking strategy figured out.Every time I published a new article, I'd make sure to include links to relevant older posts within the content. New post about dry eyes? Link to my contact lens review. New post about prescription conversion? Link to my calculator tool. I was consistent about it and felt pretty good about my SEO hygiene.Then recently, while working on my site with some AI help, it pointed out something I had completely overlooked.I was only thin

Looking to Collaborate with Sites in Eye Health, Vision Care & Related Niches

Hey WA community!I wanted to introduce myself and put out an open invitation to anyone here who might be in a complementary niche.I run a contact lens price comparison site where I track prices across 9 major online retailers and publish expert content about contact lenses, eye health, and vision care. I have 15 years of eye care experience, so the content comes from a genuinely clinical perspective rather than just SEO-optimized fluff.The site covers things like:Contact lens brand reviews (Acuv

The WA Blogger’s Guide to Pro Portraits: Master Your Personal Brand with AI

In the world of affiliate marketing and blogging, trust is your primary currency. When a reader lands on your "About Me" page, they make a split-second decision: Is this person an authority, or just another faceless site? In this blog post I want to share a method I learned that uses AI to generate a self portait of yourself in any style you can think of. A professional headshot used to mean a $500 studio session. In 2026, all it takes is a selfie, a reference "vibe," and the power of Gemini&rsq

Can People Please Include Their Websites In Their Profiles?

I like going through the activities dashboard and reading people's posts, whether it's about their accomplishments, or concerns and questions they have about their website. Usually, the first thing I want to do after reading someone's blog post, or question is visit their website. What I find that is very little people actually have links to their website on their profile. It's not a question of being nosy, it's to be able to better understand the question or concern being raised, and to able t

How To Break Through This Plateau?

Hi guys, I started my site contactsadvice.com in 2015 and I've watched it as it grew to just over 23,000 sessions per month, with a lot of work of course.I truly believe that my website offers something unique and valuable to my target audience. I compare the top 50 brands of contact lenses at the top 10 contact lens websites to find the lowest price for every brand. I know for a fact that contact lens wearers are very price conscious and are always looking for ways to save money on their conta

Reached my First Goal

One of the first things that we do as part of the training when we join is set some financial goals. If I recall correctly, the training asks us to identify goal that we would be happy with, and one that we would be ecstatic with.I still have the sticky note hovering over my wall. It says:1) $100/month2) $100/dayI joined in January 2015 and in November 2015 I broke the $100/month mark. I was cautious not to call it yet, as I thought it might have just been an anomalous month. But sure enough, I

A bug on the sign up page from SiteRubix

I was writing a post about how to start a free website using SiteRubix, and as I was going through the process myself, I noticed this happens:It adds the .siterubix.com twice instead of only once.This happens when someone tries to create a free website, but don't yet have an account with WA. Since the only people passing through this page would presumably be beginners, they might not recognize this as a bug and think something went wrong, causing them to abort the process. I'm not sure who to c

Reflections On My First Affiliate Sale

I'm happy to finally be writing this blog post. I got my first affiliate sale!In this blog post I'm going to be walking you through my experience leading up to my first sale.First of all, it did not happen quickly. I joined WA back in January of this year (2015), and I've been working on my website since (it is October as of writing this). I don't think there is an exact time frame within which you should expect your first sale, but I was hoping it would take me less than 10 months. In retrospe

How To Find Free Pictures On The Internet

I wanted to write this blog to share with other members a trick I picked that has helped me a lot when looking for pictures for my site. In lesson 5 of the Level 2 Certification Courses, Kyle explains different ways of acquiring reusable photos for your websites. These included:Your own personal cameraScreenshots that you takeWikimedia.orgSxc.huAmazon Associates (product images)Paid photos (that you buy via sites like Fotolia.com)Due to my niche, it was difficult for me to take my own photos of

Finally Getting Somewhere! But How To Proceed From Here?

I started here from scratch about 6 months ago, and decided to build a website about contact lenses. Why contact lenses? I knew, even back then that it wasn't the best niche, but it was something I was very knowledgeable about and knew I could write about it.I built the site www.contactsadvice.com, where I put up articles giving advice about contact lenses to target contact lens wearers, and at the end of every post I direct visitors to a page where I list the lowest price for every major/popula
