Don't be discouraged everybody takes one step forward and two steps back in the beginning but if you just keep following the training it will get easier

Thank you for your reassurance. Wendy.

Wendy, I only just saw this. Don't worry. I am sure there were blogs around that time from people I follow about this issue. It seems to have been a glitch in the system or some update gone wrong. Should all be fine now.

You know what you can do. Is write your blog in word processing package. Have 2-4 diff file folders on your desk top and lable them vet info shopping info or what ever you think you may feel is a good idea for new site or a new blog for the site you have. Re read the blogs you have to see if the key words you are using are good ones. not that you need to have tons of them in each blog. Maybe the backwards trend is they didn't have really hot key words in them and it took you down a half a step. I don't know. I keep the files on my desk for future en devours. The duck pond may be a bit mucky today from all the lovely bread crumbs but it will be clear in a couple of days. You will see. Best of luck to you always. Remember the sun is always shinning some days you just have to look past all the muck.

Hello Wendy, your web site is up, your on the front page of the Google search, and that is good. But you must sell your product,before you hand over your customer to the affiliate. Why is that food better then other brands. My wife just ask why would any one pay Fourth Dollars for a case of dog food, when a T/Bone stake is cheaper and taste so much better, and your pet will love you forever. The Hills is a subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive a global company. Look at the way their websites are lade out, and use some of their content.

To me you should not worry ,just follow your lessons and apply and you will succeed all the best

Hi Wendy, I agree with the comments of everyone else so far. Do not get discouraged. The health bar is only a guide to how you are doing and not set in stone.

Only look at it occasionally as it does fluctuate back and forth all the time. Please do not become discouraged by it, take a break and then continue.

The health bar is after all just an algorithm that cannot read the wonderful content that you are putting on your site for your niche or in fairness really calculate your hard work.

All the best.
Lis.

Hey Wendy!

Try not to be discouraged. I was going to suggest the same as Sila and say take a break from it.. just for a day or two. Regroup and things will look different.

Sounds like a case of paralysis by analysis. Just keep getting fresh content to your site and it will all come together. It's still early days.

Have you considered asking for proper feedback (it's a tab under the site manager on WA)? You should be able to get some good clear instruction on where to go next to optimise your site. I believe you have to do the same for someone else first though, but that in itself will be a valuable learning experience.

If you ever need help with specifics, you know where I am :)

Take your time..when i go through that I won't sit in front of the computer for a day or 2. I then come back and i am focus again on what I am suppose to do. I have to say I gave up for three month (I am not encouraging you to do that) because I thought I knew everything but I didn't. But I am still here!!! One step at a time.. You are not alone.. we are all here to help each other..sila

Hello Wendy
Seems we started about the same time and I'm really new to all this Internet marketing.

So just coming off the lessons, maybe you shouldn't watch that health bar too much, LOL!!
Again coming off the lessons, it takes time for Google to see and rank our stuff. So here's a little word of encouragement, give it some time.

I don't think I'm at the skill level you are, there for, I hope my reply brings some comfort and at least a smile.
