We are now getting into the FUN stuff! Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO!
You have your website in place and now you want to make it SEO ready so that search engines can find it. Our goal is to get ranked in the BIG 3 engines, Google, Bing & Yahoo. Do note that our focus is going to be primarily on Google though as they own over 65% of all search traffic, and over 95% of mobile searches.
But why do you want rankings in the search engines? Simple...
Website Rankings = Targeted Traffic = Revenue!
The rankings are the first step in creating an online revenue stream.
Today we are going to walk you through the set-up of a Wordpress plugin that is going to do a lot of the "dirty work" for you and will take care of the optimization of all your website pages/posts, meta tags, and other aspects that search engines look for when ranking your site.
I have created a video walk-through of this training and please follow along as it will add a lot of clarity to how SEO works, but also how to install the All in One SEO plugin.
DISCUSS THIS VIDEO HERE: Getting Your Website SEO Ready
Task 1: Set-up All in One SEO on your site
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a very important aspect of any website's success.
In this task we are going to be setting up a plugin that makes our website code (the stuff behind the scenes of our website) friendly for search engines like Google so they can index and rank our sites properly. This is going to be very powerful for your website content getting ranked in search engines going forward, so DO NOT skip this task.
Since you activated the All in One SEO within the last lesson, you should see the "All in One SEO" item with your main menu now in your Wordpress back office. If you mouse over that menu icon, a sub menu will pop out (see below).
Simply click the "General Settings" link. This is where you will be going to set-up your SEO settings for your website.
The main section you are going to be updating here is the Home Page Settings section. There are two sections that you will be updating there:
- Home Title - This is the title of your website that will show up when you get ranked in Google and other search engines. This won't actually show up on your site.
You want this to reflect the actual title of your website that you created with your site, but also add something to make it a bit more captivating.
Ideal Length: 40-60 characters, keep under 60 - Home Description - This is a description of what your website is about and how it will benefit people. Don't overthink this part, you just want to be descriptive as to what your site is.
Ideal Length: Under 160 characters
Although there are a TON of other settings, you are not going to need to update any of these at the moment, not for SEO purposes.
When you are done updating your Home Page Settings, scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click the "Update Options" button (as shown below).
Upon doing this, you are done. Your website is set-up and SEO READY! :)
A few important points things to take note of here about All in One SEO:
- You DO NOT need to "Upgrade to Pro". The free version is more than adequate for your needs.
- You won't see these changes to your actual site. The work is done behind the scenes within your websites HTML code. It is making your code friendly for search engines.
Awesome, your website is all set-up for SEO now! As you build out your new pages/posts, they will automatically be optimized for Google and other search engines.
In the next lesson we are going to be discussing KEYWORDS, the root of all of your rankings and success online.

Would it be wise to ignore the keywords that don't exactly make grammatical sense? Even though it may not make sense, it is still keywords that are being searched.That would be low-hanging fruit if the QSR is under 100 and no websites are really pursuing these type of keywords. Just a thought...

Yeah, I would avoid the ones that don't read correctly and make sense grammatically. Writing content around poor grammar makes your site look shoddy and tends to results in people leaving the site sooner than later, or right away.
Bottom line is poor reader retention and conversions, which means you are not making money.
Kyle teaches in the training to avoid keywords with poor grammar and bad spelling.
good luck!

keywords that don't make sense are no use to you.
Google will show you keywords with stops words taken out ( stop words are words that make no difference in google' eyes).
So ' make money from online' may have the same numbers as ' make money from online gamblinng' but i would use the second one.
not good examples, but i am sure you have seen better!
good luck with your online journey

Hi Kyle,
I just went through the First Keyword Rich Post training and I have a question. My niche is to sell cosmetic products and I want to build my website to look like an e-commerce site. So, if I publish as a Post and by default goes to the home page can I move that somewhere else so that I can display my products on the home page?
Thanks,
Carmine

You should be able to set your homepage as a static homepage so that only what you place there is shown and then you can link to the posts with menus and categories.

Hi all,
I have a domain name registered that i plan to use for my blog.
I love the outdoors and I have been an auto mechanic for the past 28 years.
i plan to blog about the great outdoors and the automotive side of things.
should I register two domain names, one for outdoors stuff and the other for automotive stuff?
I also plan to write some e-books pertaining to auto maintenance and repairs

Hey Johnny! I'd go with 2 domain names (1 for the outdoor and 1 for the automotive) BUT... you might want to do something along the lines of autorepair for RVs - where you could include the Great Outdoors with the inside of a engine bay. However, I'd go with just 1 about autorepair for now; once you know th basics then you can start one on the great outdoors and be confident you know what you are doing

that gives you an option to choose your home page to be either your latest posts [blog] or a static page, and if you choose static page it will allow you to choose which page - that will be the one you land on when you open your site

I’m curious what you guys think; I’m currently on my iPad going through these courses I’m on lesson 1 pt 3 but I have a dilemma. I have not created my website yet due to the fact I want to build it on my PC. Is it a good idea to keep going through these courses and go back through them when I get home and start the web building process or should I wait and build my site while walking through each course?

I have two websites. For the first one I already went through the lessons and created the website (but I didn't use templates). For the second one I am on this step of creating the About Me page. If I use the About Me template for my second website will it change the About Me content for my first website? Would I be better off just skipping the templates and building the pages like I did for the first one?

Hi Barbra,
There shouldn't be any effect on the first website as when you go to publish the post or page you need to select which domain it is going to which will stop it from editing it on the first website.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your concerns. For a newbie, the QSR score should be below 100, and the monthly searches above 300. I hope this helps.
By the way, you don't need to buy Jaaxy. The WA Keyword tool works just the same. You are looking for monthly searches above 300 and QSR below 100. The WA tool is FREE.

I would choose an SEO score between 80 - 100, granted the keywords have some traffic and QSR is between 50 - 100.
Even as a newbie, you should strive to target long-tail keywords as much as possible from the beginning. It will make your writing and ranking much easier down the road.

And it does get easier. My first "keyword rich" post took some time. As future lessons called for more posts, I've gotten better/faster at choosing a keyword phrase to focus on and getting the posts written. I've learned to just have two or three keyword phrases picked so I can jump right in to creating content. (And I keep a saved list of phrases on the WA Keyword Tool so I don't have to search every single time!)
I have a question. If I want to log on to my site directly rather than background login first WA member account, so if it is input a site address, so my the administrator password is how much? Because you don't need to enter a password to log in from WA background. Thank you

you can log in direct from your browser, just put the name of your website in a new tab with yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
and a box will pop up asking you for some login details, these can be got at WA and stored by you outside WA for logging in any time
get your log in details in siterubix>sitemanager>details [that's directly across from the login button on the far right]
and in details it shows your login [usually admin unless you changed it] and your pw

Thank you, MelaniLukito, these links are helpful to all of us struggling to find the right first niche.
Pardon me if my questions lack in clarity as I'm a newbie to All of this.
Question 1: If I were to uprade to premium, would I be able to change the theme etc.. of my starter site without losing the content or would it have to be built from scratch?
Question 2: I wouldn't want to pay to own a domain name unnecessarily before testing the viability of the site. What would happen if I were to eventually buy the domain name? This is regards to the site originally being a sub domain of SiteRubix? Sorry I don't know much(anything

Question 1- Yes. When you have upgraded you will have access to more themes on wordpress and it is very easy to change from theme to theme.
Question 2- When you buy the domain, you can transfer your free site to the new domain with ease. You do not have to buy the domain right away. If you wish you can continue to use the free site till you think its time to upgrade. Just remember that free sites take longer to get indexed on google so it is recommended to get your own domain.
Hope that helps.

no, what NyssaB said is that a paid domain gets indexed better and quicker and therefore would get better ranking in the search results. A Free site is a Sub Domain, it essentially piggy backs off of the main Rubix domain. Premium gets you free hosting (parking) of up to 50 websites. You still have to pay for your own domain but it's generally only about $13-14 per year. That Domain is yours as long as you pay for the yearly fee. You will simply be 'parking' it here in WA. You can buy the Domains from different places like GoDaddy or NameCheap and others, but you can also buy them here in WA, which is much easier. I presently own 4 Domains but am only using 2 for now. I have two parked here, and will move one other over here soon as it expires at Weebly.com.

You absolutely can change the theme. Just log in through the SiteRubix feature and then, once you are in the Wordpress Dashboard, you see "Appearance" on the left hand side. Under that, click on "Themes". You'll see the theme you've chosen plus a box with a plus sign that says "Add New Theme".
For both my niche site and my affiliate site, I chose a theme to start and then realized I didn't like the look as I started adding more pages and content and ended up changing the theme once I started!

How many more levels are there to your premium upgrades and what are the fees level one was free level two is $25 how much is level 3 and 4
Level 1 gives you the place to put idea and puts it on paper but it doesn't open any markets. No affiliates and no way truly to a effectively make money with that site.
So does the 24 95 take you all the way to the last class 2A functioning website or are there more upgrades. I don't mind paying for services rendered I just like to know what they are ahead of time

I am overwhelmed by the number of niches there are, since this is my first venture with affiliate marketing, I thought a good place to start is to market for Wealthy Affiliate. As I progress with other niches and offer products I assume that I need to become an affiliate with different companies in order to market their products. Is that correct? Any feedback would be appreciated and any help choosing a domain name and getting the first site up and running. Thank you! Sydney

I'd recommend you work in a niche you are truly passionate about, there's nothing more dreary than writing content year-after-year about a topic that bores you to tears!
The majority of members start affiliating with Amazon, as they accept "barely there" sites, have a global reach, and a high trust factor amongst visitors to your site, other affiliate programs often require an established site with traffic before they'll approve you.
I wouldn't worry about keyword rich domains or EMDs (Exact Match Domains). It's content that ranks these days, not domain names.
I'd rather have a brand such as http://www.boohoo.com than something as limiting as http://www.buycheapdesignerwomensclothesonline.com
Your domain name doesn't even have to be relevant, if it did http://www.amazon.com would sell river trips and http://www.apple.com would sell fruit! It can even be personal, http://www.craigslist.com :)

That's what I thought at first, but finding your own niche is much more fun. I'm a gamer and I chose my niche as Assassin's Creed. I really love the series, and have a lot to say and contribute to this niche. Pick something you love and can talk about for hours. From what I'm seeing here, to make money and be successful, you need traffic and to have a captivating audience for your site, choose something you love and can expand on. It's not something to jump in to, I haven't started the affiliate boot camp, but it kind of sounds boring, I'd rather research and write about something I love. From my understanding of how this all works it's a marathon not a sprint and you'll have more fun and success if you choose something your passionate about. Nothings wrong, as long as you know your stuff, you'll get people to your site, then you can guide them to things to buy and make money for yourself, through affiliates or advertising. I'm still learning myself, and I don't think either path is more profitable, just sounds like choosing your own niche is more fun. at least you get to write and expand on stuff you know and love.

Hello Sukumar, pages don't change. They are static and do not move. If you want that content to be unmoved, you have to make it as a page so that every reads it in the first checking of your website.. Whereas posts will be hundreds plus and more. Hope this helps.

You need to first create the content as a page. Yes. Then you should log into your site as admin. Then you need to click the button, "customize" at the top there. It should be next to a paint brush. Then from here, click,"site identity" and then"site title". Delete that default title and type in your new title. Then click the button save and publish at the top. Let me know if this is the answer you are looking for.

I have just done that. Silly me, I had to go back to lesson 4 to see what went wrong.

I have the website title too with the menus arranged perfectly. Thanks for the help! I'll continue building the site. I'm about to finish the front porch of my "home" :)

A slight problem though. Now my website's title is coming and it's the same title which I had put as the title of the content that I updated as "page" like I said. Which is all fine and is appearing the way that I had intended. But I have noticed that once you put up the content as page, my name doesn't come whereas if I update a "post" my name appears with the date on which it was posted. So, if I want my name to appear on the home page itself, what do I do??
I tried your program a couple of yrs ago if not mistaken but because of a lack of concentration(illness heart failure); i wasn't forced to quit!! I don't particularly like videos and much rather get written instructions instead which is old schooled i guess but it really works for me! Is this to much to ask for as a free member right now who hope that my health will allow me to learn and comprehend so i can upgrade as soon as possible! Lot of debt waiting on VA from 07/05/2007 til 10/12/2016 attorney fees took a lot of back-pay!

I had probs with those boxes before so actually stopped ticking them at one point, but now see the way it is all laid out there on the right, we can navigate really easy to whatever lesson we like this time, forward or back
yep it can be overwhelming at first, just keep asking tons of questions and give yourself time to succeed and absorb everything - it will all click at some point mysteriously when you least expect it :)

hey Steve - can you not untick the boxes to reset the levels?
Alternatively just go through the training again. Keep a track of where you get to and start from there next time.
Good luck this time - maybe pay yearly to keep your mind focused
all of us get a little frustrated - especially when things go so slowly, but follow the training and it will improve.
Don't forget to have a play with test sites to see if you can break them - then you know what not to do with your main site!
As i say good luck this time.

I am confused with the last sentence
"If you are REALLY STUCK at this point...we have an Affiliate Bootcamp dedicated to those that are interested in promoting Wealthy Affiliate. Go here if that is you."
I clicked on the "Go here if that is you"
but it says
"this content does no longer exist,it was probaby deleted"
I don't know what my niche will be and I want to choose from the Affiliate Camp but as I mentioned above the link doesn't work.

1. How can I unpublished my private policy because I published it as a post instead of page. Can I delete it or there is another way.
2. One of my site content and private policy's I published has no where for me to tick no-index and no follow. I don't understand why is that because my first site has got the tick boxes.

1. delete the post that you created by accident and do a new privacy policy that is a page
2. so the site where you can't tick no follow - was the all in one SEO activated?

I'm brand new here. I attempted online marketing twice--many years ago.
The first time, I bounced around a lot from idea to idea. The second, I tried building a business writing/creating content for others' websites (About two months). My work was very well-received. I write well, but I am VERY slow (perfectionist), so I wasn't going to build up my income enough to make it worthwhile.
Just earlier this evening, I had the idea to look into affiliate marketing again. I just started working at an Amazon warehouse one month ago; it's going quite well, but I'd obviously rather just make my money as an online Amazon affiliate. :)
WA looks great so far. You can understand that I am highly skeptical of affiliate marketing's potential...this is based upon past experience and the probability that niche markets are overly-saturated nowadays. They were already saturated a few years ago. But I am here (I wouldn't be if I didn't think it may be a good opportunity) and I am open-minded and want to give this a solid try!

I am in South Africa and have been thinking about starting a blog for a while now. What I am worried about is that all the ways to make money through a blog seems to not be directed towards the SA market.Especially as what I have in mind will be mostly for SA consumers. Am I wrong about this? Are there anybody from SA who are doing this successfully who can pipe in on this?

You don't have to target the SA market, for example your site could target the USA, Canada and the UK, affiliating with Amazon. and using their OneLink program, which would give you a much greater target audience. :)

Hi Melanie
I am from South Africa, you clicked on my link on Kaboutjie :) Yes there are plenty of ways to make money online when you have a blog. There are South African websites that have affiliate programs, plus you can do sponsored posts, Google ads and sell ad space on your website. You don't have to worry about the country you are in, as soon as you have some traffic to your website you will be able to monetize it.

I'm confused. I thought you said that by creating a page for the privacy policy, no one would be able to comment. When I look at the site, there was a comment box below the privacy policy.
I'm using a magazine template. If you know how to remove the discussion box, I'd like any advice you can give.

Some pages on themes will allow for comments. If your privacy policy has a section for comments then you'll need to disallow them in the settings. It is usually located below the text when you are editing it i.e go to your wordpress site- click on edit of the page- scroll down and you should see the disable comments box.
Hello everybody! I am new to this site. I have tried another one but they really didn't help at all. It was hard to get an answer out of anyone. So with that in mind I am really liking the site so far. I am doing this cuz I love being on the computer looking up different stuff all the time.

Question - I have my first niche site up and running. But as I am doing the work to find keywords for that site, I keep finding keywords (with an AMAZING QSR) that are close but not an exact match. They are connected to an area that's closely related to my first site. It's an area that I toyed with focusing on for my first niche and now I'm wondering if I should go ahead and set that idea aside as a second niche. How soon is too soon to start a second niche website?!
MJ
P.S. If you are the type that likes details - I have a site called "Tots, Teens, and Theater" up and running. When I'm searching for good keywords for that site, I keep coming across keywords that would better fit a site focused on the use of drama in the church.

That was my concern. Niche number one is working with kids and teens in the theater. Niche number two is using the theatrical arts in faith based institutions - churches, Christian schools, etc. I've worked extensively in both areas and doing research for one usually connects to the other. I'm hoping that will allow them to sort of grow together.

I'm on Course 1, Lesson 8 on KEYWORDS.
I'm curious about what word/description differences are between Jaaxy and the Keyword Tool? Specifically in reference to the column names/titles Kyle is talking about in the training video...
I'm getting confused between what to look for in "traffic" and "searches" and "average" and "competition" for a new blog.
Also, on the Keyword Tool, what exactly am I looking at in the Article & PPC Power columns?? Is there something of importance in there?
Any clarification or links to other keyword explanations would be appreciated... I'm a visual/reading kinda girl and I think I may have gotten lost for a bit in the video I watched (twice!) today.
Thanks friends! :)

posts go to your blog roll, so either your entire blog roll is your home page and the posts tend to be ordered according to the date you post them, or you choose a page on your site to be your home page
pages go to the menu, posts go to the blog roll [as a rule of thumb]
there are ways around everything of course, but as long as you understand how it works in general, then you can decide things going forward
to set home page go to Settings>Reading and notice in there you have a choice between your front page displaying your latest posts or a static home page

Good question. It depends on the niche that you want. But for me, I prefer English because your scope will be bigger. What is your niche by the way so I can have an idea?
Confused a bit with these Posts and Pages, i got a question. If i created a main menu and in it 1 of the tabs has sub-menus right, i can make the main tab a page and the sub menus posts....
e.g. the main tab with drop-down menu is called 'Life Lesson'(Page) and 1 of the sub-menus in it is called 'Tip of the Day' (Post)....but if everyday i need to add content to the sub menu 'Tip of the Day' how do i make it a new article but keep it under the same tab if i used a Post to make it?

this sounds confusing, not fully sure what you are aiming for here...
in my opinion, you'd have a very long submenu if you are going to add a post 365 days of the year every year, so how about sending those to your blog?
you say 'tip of the day' is a post, so to create a new tip of the day would be to create a new post...so you are asking where that post goes now?

My question is in general how to people feel about listing their full name. I know we can but with security certainly a concern how do people feel about putting out maybe "too" much and yet still reach an audience without sounding robotic and cold. Thanks.

The way I see it to answer your question, why do you need to post your earnings for the world to see, if they are in fact making money....mmm...I wonder.
Could it be the others platform way of pretending to make money by showcasing their earnings to lure you in to their platform?
Would you or have you ever posted your earnings for everyone to see that you have made from an employer who pays you weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly?
I certainly would not because for one it is not their business what my earnings are from my employer or my business. Not only that but also thats personal and confidential to for my eyes and my employer who pays me.
You know how they tell you in the traditional workplace, you should not discuss your pay with others in the workplace.....it;s kind of unethical.
So, ask yourself why are these other platforms in the online business world posting their earnings for the world to see?
Chances are, its probably fabricated lies. I'm just saying....don't be fooled by their marketing scams because that is what it sounds like to me. Oh yes, there are many out there!
I figure it like this, plain and simple - if an affiliate program goes as far as posting their earnings on their website for the world to see, that's a red flag to me indicating it is a marketing scam to lure people into their platform and once they get them, they will not live to their word of making you the kind of financial figures they advertised on their website.
My advice to you....DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

lots of people post their income all the time, especially when they have just begun to make serious income having joined a few months ago - but you are only here 5 minutes, so how can you know what happens?
But not everyone is going to show their income, just like anywhere else in life, especially if they make a lot. Everyone is different, and income is ultimately a private matter.
If you can't see the resources for themselves and realize what you can do with them, then nothing anyone shows you will make a difference, the issue is with you.
Also, if one person can make $2000 a month very quickly, it does not mean you can even with the same resources, it will always depend on how much work you put in and what level of skill and ability YOU have...

There are plenty of us making a good amount of income here, but it is no one's business to know how much I make. Those other platforms showcase money earnings to trick people into thinking that what they are selling is going to make you tons of money.
But making money online depends solely on how much proper training you have taken and how you go about applying that knowledge. If you cannot learn the proper steps and put them into practice, you will not make money.
Look at it this way. Do any colleges broadcast how much money one will make if they graduate with a degree? Of course not, because how much you make depends on your personal work effort. Wealthy Affiliate doesn't broadcast earnings because it is just an online college of sorts and everyone will earn differently.

Are you on a slower connection? Some of these videos are larger in size and can take a second to render. If you are on a really slow wifi connection, you might get this issue.
You could also try using the SD version of the video, instead of the HD version. The HD version are obviously larger files.

Hi
If your going to do affiliate bootcamp first then do a wealth website but if your starting of with the certification. Course which is the green tab marked get started here as I did then do a niche website on art and photography.
After I finished the certification course and got my niche website up and running I started affiliate bootcamp where I am halfway through and have my wealth site up and running. I've been doing this for 9 months so I advise you to concentrate on one site at a time as there's no rush.

either way you'd have to master the training, right now you are beginning the training so you have some time to test out things with your free sites before committing to a particular niche
always take a look at where your interests lie, whether you can write content in your chosen area several times a week, what the competition looks like, and what affiliate programs are there for you...when you try to build up a site in any one niche it soon becomes clear how far you want to go with a niche...and the free sites are perfect for practice
