I noticed the Street Articles link is missing from the left sidebar of the WA site. Is something going on with Street Articles and is it still viable for content?

I wrote a blog post short time ago about that Google is against the use of article directories because it tends to be a lot of low quality spammy content.
Maybe it has something to do with that, I do not know.

Thanks. just check out your post

I noticed that myself. Not really sure.

I know Carson wrote recently that no more than two Street Articles should be written. So I am not sure if they are rethinking the Street Article option. Debbie

Heard the same thing about 2 articles. Would be interested to know more.

Does anyone know how to forward a website to another website URL so it is just a click through to the second site?

If you haven't found the answer, you go to "Site Domains" and you will see a list of all your current domains. To the right you will see "Settings" and in this dropdown box you will find "Redirect". This is where you do your forward.

Hi JJHall, As your reply was 2 years ago, has this now changed. I want to forward my domain name to a different URL but if I go to Site Domains the only Options are 1) FTP Access or 2) Remove

or are you talking about domain forwarding example yourdomain.ca to yourdomain.com

Yes, forwarding my domain to an affiliate domain. No content on my site, it's just a forwarding site that I can use to insert in direct marketing pieces

domain forwarding is done at the site you bought the domain from you can point a domain at another domain in the dashboard

if you use godaddy PH. them and they will walk you through the steps

you can set it up in menus by using a custom URL

but then do I have to pay them for hosting? I am already getting that for free at WA

No you don't have to pay any hosting to forward a URL Its free

Thanks

What happens if I were to go back and edit key words that don't seem to be performing well, but did not change the content of the post or page

I have been messing around with keywords and changing things over the last week or so and I think scottdogg187 is right when he says it takes time to pick them up again. I am very careful now to follow the guidelines from Kyle very closely. I found keyword in first paragraph, keyword in a photo, and keyword in the URL seems to get good results, with rankings in the first 4 pages inside of a few days. But I am still learning myself how to improve on that and have discovered that the only thing you need to do with the AIO SEO is to put in the keyword and leave the rest. Hope this helps, but it is frustrating waiting for the pages to rank. Craig

Thanks for the input. Patience is not one of my virtues

So are you saying that you would change the title of the post? If you changed the keywords in the title you should change them in the content as well. Was this content ranking at all before? I would just watch changing it because any rankings you had would be gone and it would take a while for them to pick up the change.

Thanks Scott, I'll leave it alone

As long as the keyword make sense within the article being written then it should be fine

thanks

I have two companies that are willing to pay a referral fee for customers I send their way, but they don't have an affiliate program per se to track where the referral came from

Hi Tim.

Sounds like unless you have a legal agreement with them, you've no way of securing payment from them for referrals. If good faith is enough, and a constant stream of customers through you, means they benefit a lot, they may continue to pay you - but it sounds suspect to me.

Perhaps mention who they are - with all of the members here, no doubt a few of us would have heard of them (legit or not).

All the best, Mark

Hey Mark, I know both companies and have referred to them in the past, just not via internet referrals, so my concern is not really about getting paid, but more of both of us being able to track who I referred to them through my site. They are service companies and welcome referrals, they just don't have the technology set up on their sites for internet referrals straight from my site.
