Question about "Writers" Theme

I'm starting on my second website and the theme I've chosen is "Writers."On the preview for the theme it says right across the screen: WRITERS "An SEO OPTIMIZED THEME FOR WRITERS"This theme is perfect for what I want to do. However when I got it all set up, the background image still has the "writers" phrase right smack in the middle of my image.Anyone know how to remove thi

In Wealthy Affiliate We Trust

BIG Appreciation for Jay!

Hi, AllSeveral days ago, I received some great advice from the group on watching Jay's 7 Step-21-minute ranking video.

The Sun will Come Out Tomorrow!

Hi, AllA few days ago I posted a question about organic search traffic, or I should say the lack of it. Several of you suggested Jay's 21 Minute Ranking in 7 steps. I have to say I found this very powerful and reassuring. This should be part of the regular training as it really gives a great overview of what your expectations should be. For myself, no more watching the pot boil. Time to get moving! I spent the weekend going back over all my posts and making the changes suggested.Anyway, I

Education Value - Ran out of Things to Write About !

Hi, AllI have been posting at a mad clip for the past 30 days and I knew this day would come. I was facing major writers' block.....just plumb didn't know where the next article was coming from.I then remembered Kyle in one of the lessons addressing this, so I looked it up and followed the instructions. Those instructions said to comb through your comments from posts you've done for ideas. Now I've got a pretty good list of topics. Then I ran them through Jaaxy to find out if there were goo

Been away for a week!

I took a few days off to go visit friends and family and I have to admit something. It was very hard to stay away from the laptop but I did. The main thing was that I missed all the interaction with my friends on WA.....all the help I get and all the help I am able to give.Good to be back. Ranking didn't drop much so now it's time to crank it back up!See you all on the inside!Warren

First Attempt at a PPC Campaign

Hi, EverybodyA few days ago I reached the point in Boot Camp where it's time to enter the PPC world. Following Kyle's advice to the letter, I went to Bing Ads and set up a small campaign for one of my posts.Here's the interesting part. Bing Ads has their own keyword tool and can estimate your response based on the keywords you have chosen for your ad.
