I tried Linkwhisper but I wasn't too keen on it. It saved a lot of time, but I wasn't happy with some of the suggestions and could see no easy way to change the anchor text from within the plugin section on each article.
I agree. It's easier to manage when a site is small but when it gets bigger, it's impossible to manage. It's all about time management.
When I post a new article I'll do a site search on Google with the keyword of the article I've just posted:
site:mysite.com "keyword"
and use a selection of...
I use a mixture of all three. In paragraphs where it makes sense, in between paragraphs where it seems logical for the user to go next, and also when I want to break up a large paragraph/section. I also have a few internal links at the end of the page to reduce the bounce rate.
I used to track...
I pay between $20 - $30 per 1000 words. I’ve found there’s not much difference between this price point and more expensive writers.
I always pay per word, most writers prefer this as they can work faster and earn more.
As people have already said, adding a comparison table helped to increase conversions. I went a step further and added a product box right under the title of the page, before the introduction. The best product and the cheapest product with bullet points and a buy now button, wrapped in a nice...
Just checked my domain account and I have 12 domains registered. I'm planning on going through them soon and seeing what I will keep or purge.
As for projects, at the moment I have 7 projects - 5 websites and 2 others. 1 website is my main earner, and I am actively working on another 1. I...
This is something that I put off for ages, but it's such a big time saver.
The one thing to remember is that it won't be perfect at the start, and you will have to keep editing your SOPs when you get feedback from your editors.
But once you have your SOPs in place, along with your writers, you...
I wouldn’t worry too much about the spammy links. If you check every site in the top 10 for a bunch of keywords, it’s guaranteed they will all have some level of spam pointing to them.
The more traffic you get, the more spam you get. Life’s too short to disavow every spammy link, just focus on...
The traffic held steady for the first 6 months after I sold it, then I stopped checking.
I just checked it with Ahrefs now, and the traffic is still good. Checked the serps for some of the old keywords I snagged back in the day and they are still at the top. The owner hasn't done anything with...
I did this once back in 2016 although not to the tune of $10k, it was more like $3k. The main product in my niche got a major upgrade, the biggest upgrade in 7 years. A host of new products were released in January, so from October the year before I started writing review content for them...
I’ve got 30 KGR articles written and ready to be posted, my writer is writing another 30 this week.
I should have over 100 by the end of August, all posted and interlinked. The main goal is to see if they affect the rankings of my higher volume keywords that they are linking to.
I already had...
I got my first “good” job 4 years ago, and I hated every minute of it. I had a good salary, good promotion prospects, but as soon as I got that job, working in an office with people I didn’t connect with, I knew it wasn’t for me.
My motivation comes from never wanting to be in that situation...
I found this tool while searching for a way to automate this - https://allintitle.co/
The allintitle results are accurate, I checked the first 10 results manually and they were all spot on. The search volume seems a little off but I just use Ahrefs for that.
You can check 10 keywords for free...
I found that when I tried to update all plugins at the same time, there was a high error rate. I update them one at a time now and haven’t had a problem since.
I haven’t actually checked the backup facility to see if it works without any issues, I probably should do that!
I used to do it manually - download all files in a zip folder from the server, and download a copy of the database. I kept one copy of the files on my PC and one on DropBox.
Now I just use ManageWP which automatically creates a backup every month, and I can restore a backup with the click of a...
Yeah that was my point, You would be a lot more disappointed with the second scenario where you would lose everything.
Much better to sell for a high price and let someone else take on the risk of growing it.
Surely the costs being spent on the credit card and the money coming in through the invoices will cancel each other out, therefore no tax will have to be paid?
It all comes down to risk.
If you sold it for $300k, the buyer grows it then sells it for a million in a years time, would you be disappointed?
If you decide not to sell and get wiped out in the next update/pandemic/world war and your valuation is now $10k, would you be disappointed?
I...
I really need to start streamlining my posting and uploading! I’ve managed to cut the time down significantly, but some posts still take 30 minutes to format. You’ve given me something to think about.
How are you finding these images so fast? Or are your writers finding them for you?
