Good news. Google is in the process of re-indexing your site at this date! And you now have articles higher up in the SERP! Hopefully, some of the articles that were in the Supplemental Index will be moved to the Main Index, but only time will tell. Remember, I said yesterday that this process takes a few days to a week to be complete.

This is because:

1) We removed some categories from the main navigation menu.

2) We changed the permalink structure to Google's recommended structure for WordPress: /% category% /% postname%

Important > In the future. when you publish an article make sure to Publish The Date. This is important for Google and other search engines "SERP Snippet" of the articles that appear in the SERPs. Also, this is important for "visitors using the search engines" because it shows if the information is current. Though it can not be confirmed it appears that articles (not whole sites) with SERP dates have done better in the SERPs compared to articles without dates. See the side note below.

Side note:
In most cases, the date Google shows in the SERP snippet will match the date it found in your page content (for example, the date a blog post was first published).

If your web page does not have a date somewhere in its content, Google probably won't show one in your SERP snippet either.

When a date is displayed in Google's search results, each character of that date string (including spaces and each dot in the ellipsis) is counted towards your 156-character limit.

Do not do: At this stage do not go into your article base and change or add dates to existing articles. It is a frequently asked question and is logical. However, when a site is in the middle of the process.. let it work, so to determine if any additional changes will improve or harm the new index.

This is what I described in the earlier posts about optimizing the advertisements for customers and the search engines.

Note (1) note that I uploaded the SFI image (advertisement) to the WordPress Media Library. And I renamed the image with "same or similar" meta for both your site and the destination site. Also, I added "Screen Text" to the text that WordPress Advanced Options does not make available.

Note (2) note that I renamed the SFI widget description
From: SFI
To: Home Business Resources



In the future, you will add additional Business Resources to the widget. Remember we discussed adding a product that compliments the advertisements. Here you simply add the product beneath SFI. When that is complete the end result will be a home page with multiple streams of income monetized for visitors and search engines We can talk more about that later.

I added a page to WordPress Admin titled: Admin Images
Note: Very important to maintain the status as Draft Mode. Never publish the page.
1) Use the page to maintain and create the WordPress Code for images.
2) You will see the code for SFI that I optimized for you and you can always access the code for future development.

Have to run for now and will return late this date or tomorrow.

Great Jeffery! For sure, this is something I wouldn't get to easily. It really takes someone with a good level of expertise in SEO to understand. Thanks for your support. Let me ask you once again just for me and others to learn more:

1. In this case, what do you consider to be the keywords that you have optimized relative to my site and to the destination site?
2. What do you take to be the "Sreen text"?
3. What next do you advise me to do now?

It's so good to hear that Google is in the process of re-indexing my site. May I know what the supplemential index and main index are and what the difference between the two is?

You mentioned that in future I should publish articles with date, have my articles not been published with dates? How do I do that? Please kindly let me know so that I don't repeat the same mistake.

Secondly, if Google is re-indexing my site yet some of my articles still need to be optimized, what does that mean?

Ref. #1) The keyword you chose (not me) is: Great Home Business Ideas. The keyword has not changed. What has changed (I changed) is less use of the keyword phrase Home Business Ideas as it was over-used. And added emphasis to Home Business Resources.

Ref. #2) Screen Text appears when you run your mouse over a text-link and differentiates alt-text for images.

All of the above you will need to do additional research if you want to learn more if I have not explained it to your satisfaction.

Ref. #3)

3.1) Get and add the second advertisement that will appear under SFI.
We will complete that portion and you will use it as the future basis for adding ads relevant to visitors and search engines.

3.2) Remember what I said before about categories being keywords. Plan how you will use existing categories as keywords and present your plan here when you are ready.

3.3) Study the Yoast plugin before you publish another article/page. We will use the SEO Optimizer to get you started. At some point you will use it to optimize the existing articles and possibly add or remove categories.

Main Index is what you see when you view the Google Search Result Page (SERP). The Supplemental Index you do not see by default. One way to see it is when you search Google and there is a message something like this: Some results have not been displayed. Click here for more results. That is the Supplemental Index.

Look at some of the articles on your site and also in the SERPs. Some have dates and some do not. I do not know what you did to not show the date, because only you would know what you did or did not do. I can only guess and that is not what I do, so just know that by default WordPress publishes the date for all articles. Be careful what you enable or disable when using the WordPress Editor.

We'll discuss it separately at another time.

I think I have given you too much information....

.... Can you do this:
3.1) Get and add the second advertisement that will appear under SFI.
When you complete that portion you will use it as the future basis for adding ads relevant to visitors and search engines.

Indeed, you have given me much information and I do appreciate. I have added the Plug-In Profit Advert but, I have changed the initial text. Hope this time round I have done it properly. How many adverts do you recommend that I add on the home page?

Concerning using the existing categories as keywords, I created a page using keywords "online business". You mentioned that I didn't do it properly. What do I have to rectify and how? Thanks once again for your support.

First, I would move PIPS above SFI because SFI is one of PIPS recommended programs. That would create a "blueprint approach" from top of ad space to end of ad space ~ and more people are inclined to receive a FREE website (PIPS) that already recommends and promotes SFI compared to jumping straight into an affiliate program without a Website. Make sense?

The ad for SFI: remove or replace the word "opportunity" associated with any and all advertisements. Google is on record that "MMO and MLM Opportunities" will be removed from the Main Index permanently AND in some cases Google Adsense Accounts Are Banned. Here is a suggestion:

SFI is a great online home business for thousands of people worldwide to earn a REAL Internet Income, get REAL results, with a REAL and PROVEN company.

You have used the "online business" as a page title and also as a category. There can only be one. Otherwise, the search engines will flag this as duplicate URLs. GWT will ask you to remove one of the two, other wise GWT will penalize and/or de-index at their own discretion.

Let me get it clearly. I have a category "online business" and I would like to maintain it. What would you, for example, recommend to change the page name to?

Secondly, you recommended that I create pages focusing on the categories I have. When I create those pages, do I have to limit myself to using the category titles as keywords? Is that what you meant? Some clarification please.

[Jeffery]

Online Business Ideas. But you really need to publish ideas.

Your categories would be the keywords that your target market uses when they search Google. Example: Your target market might be people in search of Home Business Ideas and they search Google using the exact match. Therefore your category would be Home Business Ideas.

You do not have to limit yourself, but you must add relevant content to the pages on a regular basis. In that regard it depends on your time management.

[Jeffery]

Regarding the previous post here are a few basics about how blogging with WP works.

Categories. WP posts are published under the categories.

Pages. WP pages are usually static pages such as 'about us' 'contact us' etc.

We as Internet Marketers go beyond the basics of blogging with WP for obvious reasons. With that said, lets redefine categories and pages.

Categories. WP posts are published under the categories. Marketing wise, we define and make use of categories utilizing our target markets keywords. The end result is the search engines return relevant content to our target market and that is one of the basics of ranking in the SERPs.

Pages. WP pages are usually static pages such as 'about us' 'contact us' etc. Marketing wise, we define and make use of pages also utilizing our target markets keywords AND add products on pages also relevant to our target markets keywords AND relevant keywords in the the destination URL for the product sales page, i.e. pluginprofitsite.com (example: complete money making site setup free)

Hope that makes more sense.

The important thing to remember is do not assign the same name to categories and pages.

Thanks Jeffery. I have changed the page title to online home business ideas. I have maintained the focus keyword as online business. Is it ok now?

[Jeffery]

Hi Charles,

No that is not ok. You said you changed the title to:
online home business ideas
and
the actual page title is:
online business ideas

Why did you tell me you did something, but you did not do it?

You said you maintained the focus keyword as: online business.

Why are you not using the keyword that your visitors are using in the search engines. You said before that you know who your competition is which also means you would know the keyword that their visitors are using in the search engines.

Also, you have a category with a dash between the words and that is a red flag in all search engines:
Business – General
It would be wise to rename the category without the dash.

Jeffery 100% :-)

[Jeffery]

In one sense you have not completed the home page and are jumping into pages and categories.

Look back at this post for the steps:

3.2) Remember what I said before about categories being keywords. Plan how you will use existing categories as keywords and present your plan here when you are ready.

I would be happy to help you by critiquing the plan, but for some reason you deny me the professional courtesy.

You have not presented a plan. Instead, you are jumping ahead and making changes, then telling me about the changes, and the change is not what you told me.

I doubt you do this intentional, but you are turning something simple into a real burden on my time and resources.

Jeffery 100% :-)

[Allen Lundy]

All I can say is it's not often, IF AT ALL, newbies get to be taught by one of the best at what they do.

Charles, I can only imagine your site in 2 or 3 months once you have submitted a plan to Jeffery and get his go ahead. Time is money, and he's truly given of his time to you, far beyond what most individuals would do to help another marketer.

This is truly a chance of a lifetime, and all newbies, and not so newbies should read each section of this thread to see what it takes to make a quality blog/website.

Jeffery, you are definately ONE OF A KIND. A true professional.

Sorry for that misinformation, Jeffery. I know it's quite disappointing to teach someone who makes the same mistakes. That's part of learning in a hard way as you pointed out sometime back. Please bear with me. I intended to write "online business ideas". But I have still changed to "online home business".

Originally Posted by Jeffery

Jeffery 100% :-)

I have always thought (though not from a technical point of view) that using keywords that evolve around my main keyword phrase "great home business ideas" can be effective. I have used keywords like "home business", "home business ideas", "online home business ideas", "home business resources", "home business marketing tips", etc... I would like to hear from you whether it's ok and if so what other keywords do you consider to be used by my visitors in the search engines?

Yes, I get to know my competitors through the results I get when I search using my keywords. Probably I use a wrong method that is deceptive. Is there any other better way of getting to know my competitors?

It's not actually my intention to go to the pages now. But since I had created this page and it had issues you pointed out, I felt it was wise to first rectify the problem before I move to something else.

Concerning the home page, I still know that I have to monetize it, optimize my existing content and add new content. I will work on that gradually.

It's not my intention to deny you your professional courtesy. It's only that I am picking slowly, and as you know, it takes time to grasp SEO aspects. I sincerely appreciate your free support and I would least like to waste your time. Where it happens, kindly bear with me, I am still learning and you are doing a great job for me.

Probably, I didn't get it right. But I will present what I think is my plan on how to use the existing categories as keywords to the pages as soon as I am ready with it.

[Jeffery]

Hi Charles,

Sorry, but I will not move forward until you complete the steps in the required order. Otherwise, you will not learn how the order effects the search engines' analysis of your site. Example is you are now asking about keywords and you have not completed monetizing the home page.

Will have a look and will let you know. Also, I see you added additional widgets, so I will look at those as well.

I am going to create a page for you titled: great-home-business-websites
and explain it later. This will be one of the pages I suggested earlier. In the meantime please do not work with the page until it is complete.

Jeffery 100% :-)

[Jeffery]

Hi Charles,

You added the additional advertisements just fine, but you do not have any content on the home page relevant to the keywords for the advertisements.

Look back where I explained about how it is necessary to maintain the home page keywords wherein the navigation, content, advertisements must be relevant. This also applies to some of the widgets that you added.. see next paragraph.

Some of the widgets are for inner-pages only and you have placed them on the home page.

The page I wanted to create for you is not possible because of the additional widgets that you added. At the moment the page is in draft mode.

I have deactivated the widgets I added.

[Jeffery]

Hi Charles,

The article is fine, but you are missing the most important and fundamental aspect of the home page. This tells me that though I have repeated it many times you have not grasped it. So here it is...

It is necessary to maintain the home page keywords wherein the navigation, content, and advertisements must be relevant.

Maybe it is best explained like this..
..There is no content on the home page that is relevant to the navigation and all of the advertisements.

You now have one article about SFI that is relevant to one ad for SFI. You also have two affiliate links for SFI. And your SFI article is not relevant to the remaining ads.

In summary here is a simple SEO breakdown for the home page:

1) Total articles written for visitors and the search engines
Total = 1

2) Total advertisements relevant to the article
Total = 1

3) Total advertisements that are "not" relevant to the article
Total = 4

4) Total number of affiliate links
Total = 10 (if I counted correctly)

5) Total number of affiliate links relevant to the article
Total = 2

Summary

As you can see there are too many advertisements that are not relevant to the article.

Solution

I would prefer that you tell me what the solution is, so we can get to a place where it all comes together. Also, there needs no further clarification because as I said before I have already explained many times. This time I have explained it by the numbers.

Yes Jeffery, I am going to add more articles relevant to each of the advertisements on the homepage. I write the articles myself within the limited time I commit to PIPS and I can only write one at a time.

I have added one more article about PIPS and hopefully, I will be adding one article each day until I make 5 articles to begin with. Just bear with me for not being so fast on it. I really appreciate your support.

[Jeffery]

Hi Charles,

You almost got it. The solution is to use post excerpts on your homepage that are relevant to all of the ads on the homepage.

When you had only one article and two relevant ads that was good to go. That was relevant to your visitors and the search engines.

Now that you have just one article and additional ads that are not relevant to the article the end result is the search engines do not consider the homepage 100% relevant to visitors.

Google recommends we use excerpts of the articles (post excerpts) on the homepage. Google also says that a single article is okay, but it will take time for the Search Bots to properly index the site. That is one reason why our articles are slow to be indexed. Also, that means we want to make the homepage as search engine friendly as possible, so our articles are indexed in a timely manner by use of post excerpts. Make sense?

This also means that we work less and work smarter. When we only have a few days per week to work on our sites.. we only need to add one or two articles which will appear as excerpts on the homepage. The trick is to setup WP to only show 5 articles when we have 5 ads on the homepage!

The end result is a site optimized with quality content for visitors and the search engines! Maintain that strategy throughout the life of an "MMO Blog" and you will be golden... rank higher in the SERPs and receive more organic search engine traffic which creates.. more visitors and the potential to earn.

I am happy to see that I am progressing though slowly, thanks to your support. I apologize for being slow on things. I really want to finish with the task of writing relevant content to the advertisements but I am somehow busy on many other obligations.

I have added another article about TrafficSwarm. Hoping to be done with the task by end of this week.

[goleza]

Hi Jeffery,

I have now written all the five articles corresponding to the adverts as advised. Hope it's now ok.

[Jeffery]

Hi Charles,

Looking good. Though there are a few minor discrepancies that we will talk about later. Specifically, post titles, please remind me.


About the advertisements.
All of the images should open in a new window. Some do not.

1) TrafficSwarm text link is broken

Install this plugin to be alerted when a link is broken:
WordPress › Broken Link Checker « WordPress Plugins

2) This is important. All pages in the navigation menu should be updated with at least one new article every 28 days:
Online Home Business Ideas
Great Home Business Websites

Reminder.. When you have finished your plan for the categories I can help you with it.

I have taken note of the necessity to update the pages frequently. I will try to do that. This means that I will maintain a small number of pages so that I do not have to spread wide without being effective.

I am thinking of coming up with 2-3 other pages in addition to the two existing pages. Let me finish my plan and share it with you within this week.

It was a technical issue and I fixed it for you. What happened was you installed Yoast before you disabled your plugins. As a result the plugin AddThis appended the post/page titles (URLs) with a identifier similar to this: #.Tu9uCXN5vmM

1) The fix was to disable this setting in AddThis > Advanced: address bar shares

2) You do not need the "address bar shares" because Yoast takes care of that for you.

In the future always deactivate all plugins before you install a new plugin or upgrade existing plugins. When the new plugin or upgrade is complete then activate the plugins one-at-a-time.

Hello,

I hope everyone sees the value of this thread. Jeffery is an invaluable resource. I used to do this with a couple of different mastermind groups/private memberships for PIPS as well as an internet marketer. I cant stress the value of what Jeffery is doing...

Take care
Jeff Casmer

[Patrician]

I sure do appreciate Jeffery 100%.

To spend all this time and effort just out of friendship and 'the warrior spirit' is certainly commendable -

Jeffery is a treasure that is for sure.

[Allen Lundy]

Earlier in this thread I stated pretty much the same thing as Jeff stated. This thread, at least for me, has been an eye opener and has had me rethinking and reviewing all of my blogs.

The information Jeffery has provided in writing IMHO makes this one of the best threads to hit the PIPS Forum in my 7 years here.

It's worth taking the time to read and reread this thread from beginning to the current point of progress if you want to understand how to have an amazing site and one that is set up to make Google smile everytime their BOTS come for a visit.

Yes, Jeffery has opened up his vault of knowledge, and Charles is the lucky recipient of it all. Every PIPS member now has this thread as a GUIDE to doing it right the first time, and everytime.

Go Jeffery!

1) The fix was to disable this setting in AddThis > Advanced: address bar shares

2) You do not need the "address bar shares" because Yoast takes care of that for you.

Thanks, Patrician, for adding your voice and a vote of thanks to Jeffery. He is doing a great job not only for me but for anyone else with a similar issue. This thread, to me, is really useful. He has helped me with information valued thousands of dollars free of charge. I feel good. Thanks for your nice motivating comments.

I am really lucky and I thank God for opening my eyes to probe further into a field that I had scanty knowledge on. I have learnt from Jeffery a lot and I believe there is still much more to learn from his expertise, thanks to his generosity and willingness to make everyone benefit from this forum. The issues discussed in here are actually not easily got. I do appreciate him. Thanks for adding your sincere voice.

Hi Jeffery,


This is what I think is my plan as regards the categories and pages. I want to have the following pages with the corresponding areas of focus:

1. Online home business ideas - share ideas related to online home business development
2. Great home business websites - information on home business resources and websites with products I promote.
3. Internet business marketing - anything on online marketing ideas, skills and best practices
4. Entrepreneurship - information on entrepreneurship and home businesses not in line with online businesses.
5. Personal development - information related to self development to improve one's livehood or service delivery with a bias on business.

I have also come up with the following categories with the pages they will correspond with:

1. Online business ideas - (page - online home business ideas)
2. Online business websites - (page - great home business websites)
3. Business marketing - (page- internet business marketing)
4. Business General - (page - entrepreneurship)
5. Self development - (page - personal development)

Here I am with my plan. I am looking forward to your criticism and contribution.

Coming from such esteemed professionals your comments mean the world to me.

I thank you all kindly.

Hi Charles,

Before we start working on your plan I want to show you something that is directly related to your plan to create pages and categories. Remember when I created this page Oct. 19, (this post #68): great-home-business-websites

Two significant points:

1) The page is number one in the U.S. SERPs for all search engines except Google!

Side note: The reasons the page is not ranked by Google are many, but the main reason is:
There are too many established websites with similar content that outrank your site. That is normal and acceptable Also, Google is ignoring the word: great

2) With that said, it is important to know that the other search engines have ranked the page, albeit somewhat low, for the keyword phrase: home-business-websites

Here is the main reason "why" the page has been indexed in the SERPs in such a short period of time:
The keyword and the content matches or is similar to the site meta that we have been discussing. I underlined keyword and content for a reason: all is relevant!

[Conclusion]
Just want you to think about that because I am going to suggest some significant changes to your plan and the changes are based on the logic that indexed the page to the top of the SERPs in less than two weeks.

Also, the page is actually higher in the SERPs than some of your competitors...with an almost identical page

Halloween here, so I probably won't be able to post again until tomorrow.. Zombies at the front door

Happy Halloween,
Jeffery 100% :-)

What are the reasons for Google and other search engines to ignore the word "great"? Is it considered to be a stop word?

Other search engines have ranked the page, which is so nice to hear. But they ranked it low. What can I do to have it ranked high in the SERPs? Is it by adding content or something else?

Yes, what I am taking from that is that the pages/categories should have keywords and content relevant to the meta. Am I right?

You misread what I said Charles. I said "Google is ignoring the word: great"
I did not say that the other search engines ignore the word: great

I also said in the same Google Result "There are too many established websites with similar content that outrank your site."

Originally Posted by goleza

I already explained it in the original post.. keep adding relevant content to the page and at least one article every 28 days.

Originally Posted by goleza

Yes. I have been saying this from the very start of this thread. Also, you have to understand that the 'pages' you create must also have the same or similar meta to that of the content, affiliate links, and ads.

[Conclusion]
Here is a little bit of important information about your question pertaining to the word Great being a Stop Word. No, it is not a stop word. It is not even a keyword that your target market uses in the search engines.

What it is.. is a generic word and Google places little to no importance on the word. A word that Google would give importance (weight) would be like this example: Farming-Home-Business-Websites

See the difference? Google would give more weight to the keyword because it is not a 'generic keyword'.

Now, do not stop using the word "great" because the other search engines are not ignoring it at all and in a sense it will brand your site and it may stick in people's minds that visit your site!

The whole point I was making is if your objective is to improve your site then you need to offer your visitors "unique content" such as the page we created "for visitors first" and at the same time "format for the search engines."

We achieved that and you are now ranking where you did not rank before. It is a start.

Jeffery 100% :-)

[Jeffery]

Before we get into Categories (Cats) I want us to be on the same sheet of music, so there will be no misunderstandings. And I will explain as I go.

First and foremost.. You have a WordPress Website (WP) and the WP Navigation Structure is:
1) The WP Navigation Structure is the First Tier
2) Pages are the Second Tire
3) Cats are the Third Tier.
4) Post assigned to Cats are the Fourth Tier.

That is how WP is designed in terms of the navigation system. There are articles at WordPress.org that explain this in detail for a normal blog. There are also articles at the Google Blog pertaining to WP and how Google has worked with WP to scan and index WP Sites starting with the The WP Navigation Structure.

Second and very important.. You do not have a normal blog.
You have a WP Website in the Make Money Online (MMO) Niche. The same WP Navigation Structure applies, but is structured a bit differently for MMO Websites. Google (not all search engines) regard MMO as commercial websites with Pages and Cats with Posts that include affiliate links, adsense ads, etc.

The point is.. we must create a WP Navigation Structure that is easy for your visitors to navigate your entire site and at the same time create a navigation system formatted for the search engines.

In the next works we will get very specific about the details.

Jeffery 100% :-)

[Jeffery]

The WP Navigation Structure and how we utilize it will "make or break the website" in terms of visitors and the search engines.

Now, since you are relying on traffic from organic search engine results.. it is vital that you (Charles - Not Jeffery) stop and look back at the home page. I suggested how to create the ad space for visitors and the search engines.

However, I intentionally did not suggest a very important aspect of the home page.. until we got to this stage of improving the site! From what you know about the home page and what I explained about The WP Navigation Structure can you suggest a vital improvement to the home page?

Don't be set off if you do not see it because most everyone misses it, it is not in the PIPS training and I have never seen it discussed here in the PIPS Forum.. but DO give it a go Charles...

Something Wonderful Is Going To Happen ... My God! It's full of stars!

Jeffery,

You got my mind going in circles on this one. I know what I THINK is missing and I sent you a PM (Primarily in case I'm correct)... Don't want to say anything yet in this thread.

On the other hand, I could be so far out in left field with my idea, I might as well not even have went to the ball game... Ü

I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter in this thread. You have no IDEA how I am following this "conversation". I'm working on a site right now with the "tutorial" given here. I have absolutely NOTHING set up, but, is all on my hard drive soon to be uploaded and opened for search engine spidering.

This thread is SOOOOOO VERY informative.

Allen

[Jeffery]

Hi Allen,

You are 100% correct sir in the private mail about the navigation. Well done!

Also, the bit I mentioned that I intentionally held back until we get to this stage..

.."The WP Navigation Structure can you suggest a vital improvement to the home page?"

is still to be revealed. Some of my clients have called it a "Revelation With Reward$" and this will be the first time I actually talk about it outside my network.

Well, you have MY undivided attention. I have actually held off revamping my sites until this thread is done.

Revelation With Reward$"... I like the sounds of that. Ü

Every product in my signature is soon to be converted to a blog using MY OWN THEME which was designed specifically for Internet Marketing, and a couple will have WishList Member attached.

[Stephen Meyer]

Absolutely Amazing!

I haven't stopped in here for a long while but I am certainly glad I decided to this time. The information Jeffery is giving here is worth a lot of money. As a matter of fact, you can't buy this kind of information, I know because I've tried with different WSO's and info products. For as long as I've been a WF member I've not seen info like this before.

I to have sites I'm rebuilding and I have searched the web looking for the best way to go about it. Even Theme choice has bee a problem. That is until now. Jeffrey's recommended Weaver II Pro theme does exactly what I've been looking for.

Like Allen, I'm anxiously awaiting the end of this thread. It is a blueprint for success.

I suggest you bookmark this page, Niche Club, if Jeffery is willing to give away the free information in this thread just imagine what you'll get on his site.

Like I said, Absolutely Amazing!

[Jeffery]

Hi Stephen,

Wow, you are too kind and your comments are much appreciated.

I thank you kindly sir,
Jeffery 100% :-)

[Jeffery]

Okay, this will be the last post I make in this thread and I respectfully ask that the thread be closed, so it is not overrun by people wanting to increase post counts, spammers and trolls. Please? Also, what works today may not work tomorrow.

The revelation I mentioned is nothing new, but overlooked so often it is akin to the old saying that sometimes we miss the big picture due to too many details "Cannot see the forest because of the trees."

Problem. This is a MMO Site and the majority of visitors to MMO Sites hate the idea of.. "being sold to."

Solution. All ads on the home page do not go directly to the affiliate sites. Image Ads could go directly to the affiliate site. Text ads go directly to a page (not a post) that explains the benefits ~ and ~ on this page is the ad with the affiliate link. Important that the affiliate link is in a widget in the sidebar or a widget placed at the bottom of the page.

That in one way removes the "being sold to" perspective in that we explain how "we" are Real People earning an online income.

Again, everything I have suggested are just my personal suggestions that has made a big difference in my client sites as well as my own in terms of ROI and the SERPS on a MMO Site.

Due diligence!

Jeffery 100% :-)

[Patrician]

Thank you very much Jeffery - not just for the information but for making the forum seem like it did when I was a newbie and there were always a few experts that spent much time and effort to help people here.

Keep up the good work!
