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).
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.

Quick question, I'm about to start Your Next Course Is Ready! - The Ultimate Traffic Training! Am I supposed to start this course before I start the graphics and most of the completion of my website? I saw this course is about getting indexed and traffic, but my site isn't anywhere near completion. Asking for a friend! :-)

I had a comment earlier from someone (who knows, might have been you) that I can't find anywhere. I was asking if I should buy a domain right now or just use the free one for now. The commenters replied that the .siterubix.com one "would get ranked". Kind of what to get a little clarification on that.

Love this site content editor. Question, I already have a domain name that I want to purchase, but started working on these lessons using the .siterubix.com. Am I wasting my time doing it on there and if so, should I purchase the name I want and switch it over from there?

As far as I know as a newbie you can set up a blog with those keywords that attract your customer.
Even better if you try to catch their email address you have a customer for the future.
So far in the courses, I have not seen anything about building your email list yet.

Yes, in a number of ways. Magistudios the live coach has a series of trainings on Local SEO for brick and mortar businesses Local SEO 2018: 1st Steps to Ranking But the basic training is a great foundation for setting up a website properly to get traffic and then the local SEO is a few specific tweaks on top of that
if you are selling from your site there is a plugin called woocommerce, but best to start out with the training and get a solid foundation for the other different ways you want to use your site
ask questions as you go along

I kind of had a plan before I joined WA and I kind of want to incorporate it after I watch all this training and become a premium member. I have kind of had 5 niche categories picked out even before I joined WA. These 5 categories all kind of relate to each other and I can pick multiple sub-niche's from each category. I want to build a site one by one for each of these sub-niche's and have them link to each other. I kind of already have a brand type name for this whole thing and created social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, and Google +) that can be used by all these sites since they can all kind of relate to each other. What do you think?

Sounds like you have a plan,and a well thought out plan.That is a huge benefit. Just make sure that your niche is something you really love, especially if you will link many sites...as you'll need to write a lot...it is never hard if your sites are about subjects you love...
Creating linked and common social accounts makes sense, I do the same and it works well...as long as each site makes sense with each other. If you had one site which was health and another was football...it would confuse readers.
Wishing you great success

actually the training and successful superaffiliates advise against taking on 5 niches at once, best to start with one and when you master that then expand. You've a better chance of succeeding with one than 5, and can also link to more afterwards
working through the training will give you a better idea, and find out who the superaffiliates are and look at their journey in this

I need some extra brainpower to narrow down my niche if needed. (sorry if this gets a bit lengthy)
I’m a graphic designer/animator at heart. Not the best, not the worst, no bachelor’s, self taught, but I love it. I’m wanting to design my site around helping new online businesses establish their brand identity...logos, logo animations/intro videos, advertisements, and maybe even help with Wordpress sites since we’re learning that here. Pretty much exactly what I will be doing for myself while building my business here lol. And for those wanting to start a business from scratch, I’ll send them here ;)
That’s what I really want to build a business around, but I’m still concerned it’ll be to broad.

You certainly can do event planning. Whatever you choose you need to be interested enough to write content about it, provide information that your readers want to know.
This is the basis of an online business, writing content that your readers want to read, so if you can do that about event planning then go for it.
If you have your own hobby or passion you could choose that. You can post in here any ideas and people with more experience than I will be able to provide feedback.

Posting your question there will reach more members in the community.

Ok I think I understand what an affiliate website is. Basically you make content that says how great a product is even though it's not your own and you add links to it? So for me I make handmade items so I could use Walmart or Etsy just as an example? Where I buy my yarn and tell people how great the yarn is and add links to my website to Walmart and etsy? And post pictures of my finished products on my site so the people can see how great it came out. Is that the jist of it?

You got it right Tristian.
I think you understand how affiliate marketing works now.
Basically you are creating your website, publish content that helps people out there who are searching for information about the product. And if they decide to purchase the product from the link on your website, you'll get the commission.

That's a GREAT niche idea for you, as it's something you know intimately about. You can even do "product reviews" on your site, comparing different yarns. Another thing you can do on your site is a "how to" section where you talk about how to choose/select a yarn and you can break it down further into Blankets, Sweaters, Socks and for each of those, you can write a paragraph or two about the types of yarn you use for those.
You can also do something regarding "accessories" like needles and storage containers for your knitting needles, etc.
Each of those could be discussing the products and doing reviews.
What a super niche you have there!

That's a pretty good overview of how the process works. To expand eventually you start to review other yarns for example. If it's great you can also promote it but if you don't think it's as good as the one you use you can recommend what you use over it. If someone decides to buy either yarn options (or anything from the website) you'll earn a commission!
Ok, I have completed the starter training and considering the upgrade, but I do have a question, what do I do with my website now? How do i find content to add to my site for people to purchase things? Or is that all explained in the premium membership?
Thanks!

I was on the fence about going premium also. I researched a few different affiliate marketing companies and this is by far the least expensive with the most info and great people who are willing to help. I am on course 3 and I just learned how to get into the money making process. It is all explained right in the course lessons, they take you by the hand to make it pretty simple.

I already have a niche and I am building my website, but I do have a basic questi:on: If several people have the same niche and similar websites, aren't they in competition to each other? If lots of people choose "weight loss" , there would be a lot of websites with the same subject out there and it would be harder to get customers to me particular website, right? Just wondering ...

Competition is good. You just have to be better than the rest. Are you up for the challenge? Do you know a lot about your niche? Are you good at doing research on your niche to create content? If you answered yes to these questions, then go for it and be better than everyone else in your niche.

not sure what you meant by a 'non-linked rubix content page to wp' if deleting the page deletes the link in sitecontent!
you seem to be talking about starting over with your page in sitecontent and publishing to your wp site?
deleting pages, well I guess that's new pages you are talking about with no traffic or rank yet...but it is possible to write directly into wp too, it is not a requirement to link all pages to sitecontent

I already had my website registered and hosted on Blue Host before coming to WA. It looks like I can't use the SiteContent platform if I don't have my site hosted through WA. I created a post with SiteContent and it asks for my website name and then it tells me that my site is not registered through WA. Am I correct in assuming I can't use SiteContent in this case?

you could point your name servers for your site here - rather than moving it - then you have access to all of the features of site content - the other way to do it is to setup a test site and export your content and import it into your site on bluehost.

Hello Geoff;
WA is not a scam, the lessons are like going to college (which I never had a chance to do), but courses are very expensive. This way you can take your time and understand everything. Even having the community help you with any questions you may have.
For $19 the 1st month, and $49 each month after, doesn't seem like much for a whole course. You can always drop out whenever you want. But if your website starts making money (depending on
what your niche is) and how you can help others, it can pay for itself. Wishing you all the best.

You can keep your websites with the free hosting forever, never have to pay hosting.
That is incredible value in itself.
But unless you upgrade then you don't get access to the premium membership content.
The owners are running a business,a very honest, very valuable business and as premium members we get an amazing value for the cost. WA is the best training hands down, with awesome community and as premium you get up 50 hosted domains, keyword tool, site content writer...the list goes on.
if you pay for any another keyword research tool,just by itself it will cost more than this
At the end of the day if its of value, you'll join,if not then i wish you well.
Hope to see you in premium

There is no ruse to blackmail you, you are very welcome to stay a free member for as long as you please, feel free to use the top search bar to find out how much information you have access to for free.
on this site you are guided to making a complete business online - do you really want that for free? isn't that worth the small fee - compared to a lot of others?

You need to add your Privacy Page to your menu. I have mine in the footer menu but you can decide which menu you attach it too.
Go to WP dashboard, menus, then find the menu you want and add it either as a main menu item or a sub menu depending on where you want it to appear.
Open the page in WP and scroll right down the bottom you will see noindex and nocomment check boxes, click those and update, and your done.

I have a question - I have my own web hosting, that hosts upwards of 20 domains. I originally purchased the site hosting to learn Joomla and Drupal, but I have these other 19 domains that I can host off it.
That said - Can I just build my own Wordpress site there, or do I need to use the SiteRubix in order to use any affiliate marketing stuff? I also own my own domain for my niche.

Hello,
I have read all content, so I chosen children clothing for my niche. so when I begin driving customers it would be containing to baby clothing. My question is being a single mother of two. divorce and how I had to adjust my life that's really what I want to drive on my page. I want to give advice, share discounts, I don't feel that the chosen name goes with the topic. Is it possible to create a single mother page as well

Sorry Aalia0423 - your question is not clear to me.
Have you chosen a domain name?
Sounds like you want to target single mums and promote discounted children's clothing to them?
Is that right?

I'm by no means an expert (new like yourself), but it sounds like you 'really' want to give advice on being a single mom, divorce, etc. and then leverage sales of baby/children's clothes.
Why not do both on one site and go with a name like:
AaliasAdvice
Aaliasmommyhelper
There's a LOT of traffic that gets generated from blogging in the mommy advice area, so if you're into blogging, this could also be something to leverage. Just a thought...

Hey Allesha ! First I'd like to welcome you to WA premium. You made a great choice in coming here to pursue your dreams.
As for your niche if I were in your shoes I would try to angle for the money saving, helpful, single mother approach. Some will argue that that is too broad of a niche, but I think that you could pull it off.
Domain names are not very important for ranking purposes anymore. Google uses a smart scanner to figure out what your site is about without such a large emphasis on you telling it.
I wouldn't pick a name like beerstore.com for your site, but singlemomhelp or Alleshasmomblog or familyfriendlytips would work. By being a little broader you would have plenty to write content about or do reviews about.
You'd have a multitude of ways to monetize this as well. From clothes to family friendly budget trips. If you are comfortable with social media I believe that you could blow this up big quickly. I've taken this approach on a site and believe that it will do well. You'll always have people that disagree and that's fine. Just prove them wrong.
If you already chose a domain name or want to talk about it some more feel free to pm me and I'll be happy to offer my thoughts, advice, or whatever you feel that you would need to help you out in your online journey. I've always been the guy that roots for the underdog.
Best of luck to you!

Hi, Aalia. I think you could promote your children's clothing niche and discuss why you started your site -- being a single mom-- as well as promote WA to help other singles mothers start their own business all on one site.
Or, you could create the children's clothing site first and get it up and running. Then later you could launch another site discussing topics for single mothers, etc. You could also link the two sites.
I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.

Today I added the Privacy Policy page to my website, however when I checked I couldn't find it on my site. Where exactly should I be looking for it? Also, is the About Me page supposed to be in the middle of my site? I really liked this theme, but I am having a hard time checking on my progress. Last question, should I be changing my theme?

Check your menus. It may be on a different page. It is hard to give definitive direction without know what theme you are using.
I had chosen the Notes Lite theme. My niche is coffee, I figured this would be the best theme. I'm open to suggestions.

I have been trying to setup my webpage for the last 4 hours. I chose a e-commerce theme. I selected my domain name and paid for it. I built the website and downloaded only to find that it did not have the graphics I had chose. It was just a page with text. Showing my web site name and where to place text but no graphics. I tried to redo the site but was told I needed to delete the original website. I went back but couldn't find any place to delete the site. I am totally frustrated. What can I do to get the theme I want with graphics?

I went back over things again and found the delete button for the website, it was way down at the bottom of the page. I had to keep checking but I did find one theme where the graphics came with it. I tried to preview the site but said it hadn't got to the server yet, so will try again later. Thanks for replying.
Oh my I wish I could help. Please keep us posted as what the solution is so that others that may run into this problem know what to do. I am not as far as you yet, good luck and best wishes!

High Bill, went thru this same issue; bottom line have to spend a little coin to get this going- your in Business. Site support does not help you with this, they just tell you to contact your Theme developer or WP--to set up have to pay a freelancer to set things up properly-not told to us! I consulted on of our Own Members LABMAN- His name is Craig Hughes. Set my site up for $100 and is beautiful and ready to go --www.cellphoneportablechargers.com what we get is just a Blog Roll page when pick our themes. Lot of them need right plug-ins etc., to finish sites properly. Hope this helps Gary L>

Bill, you can change theme at any time, any of your information will be transferred from theme to theme. You can look at, activate, and try as many themes as you want, one at a time. You may also need to get the plugin Woo commerce to get the theme you choose to work. There are many that are made specifically for stores. Store one is one that I saw.

When you select a theme, you're able to see a live preview of what it can look like, but this isn't going to be what it looks like when you first activate it. It will be in its bare bones state, and you'll have to customize it to have it look similar to its live demo.
Most themes have documentation that come with them, and usually have instructions for customizing it so it looks like the demo. The more complex the theme, the more of a learning curve there is to achieving that customized look.
That's why early on it's usually best to choose a simpler theme, like the way Kyle shows in the training. As you progress and get more comfortable customizing a theme, you can get better at customizing them and using themes with more bells and whistles.

Hi Guys
Question: If I set up a website, build content etc and 5 months down the line I decide to stop my premium membership to WA does that website still belong to me?
How does the legalities work? Must I be a member to run any websites I start and build from within WA?
Thanks in advance for your help

This is probably a question for SiteSupport, as you may have features or plugins on your website that are only available to premium members. If you downgrade at a later stage, it may be easier to move the whole website and domain to a different hosting provider. This will only work if you have purchased your own domain name - you won't be able to transfer it if it's a siterubix.com domain.
Another option - is to do what I did, which is wait until the Black Friday sale (annual) take advantage of the discounted rate and go yearly - it's saving me a ton. Cheers, Karen

Do I need to wait till I think I am finished with the "about me" section before publishing, or should I publish as soon as I have some content? I seems that this could take a long time to finish and I am unsure if I should delay until I complete this or move forward while it is still a "work in progress"/

As long as you have the content followed by the course instruction, I think you can publish the post, but I would encourage you to put out "about me" page as soon as possible. I know the page is about you and you want to think through it, but don't over think and naturally introduce yourself. Eventually about me page is where quite a lot of people visit, so having this page is crucial.
From my own experience, I see more success by strictly following the successful people's instruction than changing around based on my feeling. This step-by-step course is created for a reason. Your concern is not significant for the overall website building process, but the key is to follow the steps.
Good luck!

Hi there,
I have just published the privacy policy to my website as a page so no area at the bottom of this was for a comments section, but it appears there is a section at the bottom of this page for commenting?
Can anyone please help and tell me what I have done wrong?
Or could this be because of my chosen website design?
Or does this show due to me being the admin?
Thank you in advance!

Tabitha,
Were you able to get this solved?
If not, go into word press, go to site manager and log in. Go to pages on the left menu. When it brings up your privacy policy don't click on it. If you hover over it you will see edit and quick edit. Click on quick edit. Over to the right there will be a box that says"allow comments"
If it has the check mark in it, click on the box to take it out. This should solve your issue if it hasn't been solved already.

Great break down, everyone is different of course and different people achieve success at different rates.
One thing remains consistent though. You have access to everything that you need to create and grow your business online here at WA. The time and energy you put into your business, the results you will get out of your business.
If you need a hand with anything at all moving forward just ask.

I had two tabs open so I could create as the video played. My web site now has my About me saved as a non page and it appears next to the privacy policy. Where on the video it appears on the home page. I was not planning to have my about me on the home page but rather just navigation information. But why did it go the menu on the top instead on the home page?

That is right, your homepage is your blog roll by default and you want that. Perfectly fine and as you create new posts, they will be chronologically be added to your homepage.
I recommend that leave your home page a blog roll by default versus a static home page.
This makes your website feel much more active and engaging and Google actually prefers this as well. Every time you post it will then go to your homepage which is preferable.

So in the video it shows he has a Home page and then he created the privacy policy, which showed up as it's own page. So after I publish my privacy policy as a page I go to the site and there it is right beside the Home page. Upon clicking the Home page from the policy it turns into Blog. I can search for policy and it comes but there is not page to access it from the default page. Hope that makes sense.

Hi, all themes behave differently, but, in general
you probably need to specify what your front page displays, which you can do under "reading" under your dashboard settings, there you will indicate whether you want a blog roll (your latest posts) or static page.
Then you should customize your menu, for this go to your
menus section make sure you have a menu set up and your pages has been added, then look for menu structure, there you can customize it.
To have a Home button in your menu: click to edit your front page and where it says navigation label you can write HOME or whatever you prefer, then the address to that page will be your domain. Hope that helps!

Something I just noticed is when I go to publish the privacy policy it doesn't say publish to site, like in the video. I'm making sure I hit templates and select Privacy Policy and edit it for my site. I go to look at it and the page selection is still not there AND when I check visit the page button people can make comments on it. I have the same theme as the Kyle used so it would make the training easier.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I'm sure that some of them could, and should, be eliminated. One thing that you might want to do is check your site load time. Check it before and after eliminating extra plugins. Anything over 3 seconds to load may be costing you visitors and commissions. As to what plugins to remove it would depend somewhat on If they are hosted here or elsewhere.

It sounds like you are unsure about direction - it might be a good idea for you to go through the training on a free site from scratch and see how Kyle sets up a website. You will then know which plugins are basic and what you would actually need.
Most importantly Kyle sets websites up for good traffic and SEO whereas you've had someone else input a lot of stuff, you want to make sure no steps have been skipped in that, so learn the ropes in here and then you'll know what to do with your other site
I notice you are a starter member and not premium, the sites hosted here do not require akismet, ssl or cache but with your other hosting you need all those.

Hello. I just joined WA today. I recently set up a website and use the Yoast SEO plug in but here it seems All in One SEO is preferred. It seems to me Yoast is better since it gives you content analysis on improving your seo. Is there an advantage to using All in One SEO that I'm not seeing?
