Hi WA world!
Every so often I use Jaaxy to do keyword research for Polish phrases. I never get the QSR (I guess I never will, which is a bit of a problem), but I do get the

Jaaxy is intended for use in English. I recommend that you use it for English, but it will work in other languages it just doesn't recognize special characters and non english characters.

Thanks Kyle. I quite consciously don't use special characters.

As I said, I do get some results, though. I don't trust them, but it's only because of my intuition. I would like to know exactly in what way the results might be biased (don't know if that's the right word). I mean in what way they are wrong.
Is it possible, for example, that the number for traffic is too high/ too low?
And - most importantly - what could I do to get better results (i.e. closer to the truth).
Again, thank you for answering my question.

Hi, Zbigniew. I see that your question doesn't get answered. I guess we don't know. PM Kyle and hear what he has to say.
Hennie

Thanks for the reply. I guess that's what I have to do. :-) All the best to you.

I have published a new post here at WA recently. I would like to share it on G+ but I can't. Don't know why. I have added the link to my G+ account to my WA profile. In my G+ s

Make sure you have an google account first, then you can link it to WA. If you have a google account they will link ..Try to reset Google ..

I have had Google account for years. Reset?

I always use the Pretty link plugin to make a website link from my WA posts

Oh, now I get it. I think that is what WarrenK1 meant when he advised me to use the sociable plugin. Thanks a lot!

You're welcome, happy sharing:)

It worked! Thank you again:-)

I've got this strange feeling that I mixed some English terms here and there is some misunderstanding going on.
When I wrote 'a new post here at WA' I meant a new WA blog. Just for clarity's sake - here it is: (https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/zibul/blog/how-to-write-in-english-when-you-are-not-english). That is what I would like to share on G+.
Sociable plugin - I can install it on a webiste I own, right (or am I missing something)? How can it help me to share my WA blog on G+?
I've got custom URL for my G+ profile. I have added it here - at my WA profile.
In my G+ settings I am a contributor to wealthyaffiliate.com.
I share posts from my websites on G+ without any problems.
I found some training about Google autorship but it seems to be a bit outdated.

Let me re-formulate my question:
Is it possible to share a blog from WA (any blog, written by any member of WA) on Google +? I assume it is possible, but I am not able to do it. Why?

@MKearns, @Takatomo, @WarrenK1 - thank you very much for your help.

All you have to do is copy the url of the WA blog post you want to share, then create a G+ post and paste the url.

Done.

I'd include a little intro with it and something to spark interest to get your google + audience to click it, but that's it. It's no different than sharing anything else to G+. Just copy and paste the link :)

That is exactly what I had done. At least four times.
The problem is it does not work like this. The weird thing is that It says "post shared" but nothing happens. I can't see it neither on my profile, nor from other G+ accounts. That is why I asked this question and I started doing "strange" things like authorship, etc.. NOthing seems to work, though

Man, I've never had any issue like that and I've posted many times to G+. I can always see them on my profile. But maybe using pretty link will help.

I hope it will. Thanks.

Here's some linking information that may help! https://support.google.com/plus/answer/2676340

Link shortner doesn't work?

HI, Zibul. I had all kinds of problems with Google + in the beginning. When I tried to directly copy and paste my post URL to a new google post - nothing!

What I do now is to go go my post outside of WA and click on the G+ link at the bottom of the post and it pops right up on my google+ so I can then write some commentary about it. Works every time. I've gotten comments from them, so I know they are all out there.

As an added extra bonus - although my posts are not on page one yet , when I enter the key words I used or the title of the post into google, the Google+ article comes up on page one with the headline and link.

I hope this helps and I wish you all the best.

Warren

Thanks for the advice Warren. So, you logout of WA and then search for your post in Google, right?
I have to try it. I'll let you know about the results.

Still can't do it. I definitely am doing something wrong. I can't see any G+ link at the bottom of my post. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that - in the training, there is a plug-in called "sociable" that lets you put any social media icons that you are involved with at the bottom of your post. Before you do this, type "sociable" in the question bar at the top and you'll get instructions or the link to where in the training this is. Or you can just go to your Add-PLugins and search for it.

Good luck.

Warren

Hello. I came up with a great name for my blog. Or so I thought. Well, the name is great. The problem is that someone else had already come up with exactly the same name (argh.

Hey
I think I heard somewhere in a training here at WA (can't remember which one =/) that if there already is an established website with an identical domain name you shouldn't buy the same domain name, even with a different suffix.... but i'm really not sure so I'm posting this to see what others think.
Have you checked the website's rank ?
Good question
Cheers
Sarah

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I check a website's rank? Thank you for the answer

Hmmmm you could use Jaaxy, have you created a free account at jaaxy?

I actually have a paid account at jaaxy. It's just that I haven't though about checking the site's rank ... what can I say? Now I know how to do it, but it doesn't really matter anymore - I've got a better name :) (I had visted the website with 'my' name, though :)
Thanks again
Cheers

ahah good for you then ^^ this discussion might help someone else in the future =)

Well it would have to depend on what your niche is and how it applies to the Internet. Typically the .org websites are aimed at non-profit sites however that is not always true. One of the largest local teasin websites is http://craigslist.org and I think they are doing ok. Lol.

If it's worth paying probably, however if your content are really close to one another you might lose some of your traffic to their site when someone shares your website by word of mouth. For example if your site was www.isellapples.org and someone asks a friend where'd you buy that Apple. There response could be I got it off isellapples.com or something like that. I would your best bet would be to stick to the .com genre however I wouldn't get too hung up on it because through keyword building your goal is to get Google ranked

:-) It suppose to be a food blog, but I don't mean it be entirely non-profit ;-)
Thank you Bobbboy2. No further argument is needed (by the way, in Polish we say something like 'the case is closed'. Is there an English idiom I could use in similar situations?)

A good way to find out Zbigniew is find a food blog that looks appealing to you scroll down to the bottom and it might say what website template was used, failing that simply look at the structure of the site if it has a side menu, big header or footer, what capabilities it demonstrates, then go into your wordpress themes here at WA and pick one that best represents those features that you liked, hope that helps, cheers Mike.

Thanks Mike. That's exactly what I have done. Cheers

Is this a definite plan ? What if you would cut it down to Asian food. A food blog is rather broad. Or how about you compare different cuisines, that would work too. or Foods for pregnant women, or foods for men over .... You get my point. I think you should narrow it down. I'll have a look for the themes and see which one would be good.

Thanks for the prompt reply, friendlybf. I do have a narrower niche. What I would like to know is how to properly plan and organize the content. For example, recipes is an obvious choice, but should I divide them into many categories (soups, desserts, etc.)? Perhaps I should rephrase my question: what absolutely need to be included in EVERY food blog and what is superfluous (maybe I miss something obvious)?
