WABlog and Funnel Questions
I would love to turn this into a tutorial, and save Carson and Kyle some time. However in order to do that I need answers! I put this on the forum and got one response, for three or four of the items.
Here is the list I have compiled so far, from setting things up, from the content they give you and some Aweber questions. I will include the answers I got so far, but would love to first know the answers myself and second be able to share them with everyone else.
Blog set up WordPress questions
- What
is the story with the choice of WP templates? There is WA and two others.
- Is this thing Live? Or do I need to do a FTp thing-a-ma -jigger to it
- I know WA has other graphics to use in the heading, but I do not see a way to go in and switch it up some. Make it my own. How do I do that? I would just choose a different graphic from what you already have made.
- In the widget setup mode, it says there are left and right sidebars already given to us. On the blog I only see right.
- ANSWER FROM FORUM: Nothing has been placed in the left side bar. You will have to ad a widget there if you want to see something in the left side bar. (DK winter)
-
The only thing is I did put something in there when i was setting up and before I previewed the blog to see there was no left side bar. What I put there is not there
- How many of those widgets do I need to use, I am familiar with Blogger widgets so I put some in I have seen before---
- What is that funny sounding name that begins with an A widget for?
- It is called Akismet and it prevents comment spam on your blog. DKWinter
- Where do I put it? Is there some kind of hidden a html box where all that stuff goes.?
- I do not get why I had to get a Host Gator Affiliate code, when I do not see a Host Gator logo-- wouldn't it be in the sidebar somewhere?
- ANSWER: There are HostGator affiliate links within the MAD Marketing course that you are offering to your list .(DKWinter)
- Shouldn't there be a Host GAtor sidebar graphic thingy-- hopefully without the blinking Gator?
- Same thing with my clickbank code what is it supposed to be attached to?
-
ANSWER: Same reason as the HostGator affiliate link. Although I don't recall seeing any links to a clickbnk product within the course.(DKWnter)
- Does WA have a sample privacy policy? I know how to make one at Free Privacy--
- Yeah: I found that one is already on the page!
-
I realize Privacy Policy is mainly for the Google spiders but shouldn't it show up somewhere on the blog where people can see that it is there? How could I put it as a link at the bottom like I see on other sites? you know little links across the bottom?
- The follow up to that is Is there a special way to make anchor links on this thing, or is it the old html or BB codes?
- I see the Blog Home page and I can see it needs jazzed up, but I do NOT see any suggestions or guidelines beyond the basic landing page tutorials here on what should be in there...
- I cannot see a way to change the font size or color for headlines on the Blog and for Pages that are there or that I create.
- Do I have to be Key word savvy on blog posts? (I know I do on the pages) Or just stay in the topic zone with natural LSI kind of things.
- Affiliate Marketing page is not on the menu-- where are the people coming from ? Would this be from articles about training? I thought they were to go to the specific pages I create. This is a guess but is this a landing page for PPC? which scares me half to death so i will not be doing.
- Am I supposed to put anchor links on the pages to other pages on the site for SEO
AWeber Follow Up Messages that Kyle wrote Content questions:
- Why does one of the "Mad money" link shave 1.php at the end of the url link and the other does not?
- explain: "the more opt-in the more power as a marketer"
- I thought the Mad marketing was the opt-in Am I supposed to make up more? What are they supposed to be?
- On the separate pages we create on the site on specific KW, is that where we are to put other kinds of opt-ins? whatever they should be?
- About the Thomas Edison quote: Did he fail 1,000 times or 10,000 times The follow up content used both.
- How does this email question and answer thing work? Message 9 I think--- Am i developing a second list? with a second set of responder messages? FAQ has questions and anwers for now, but they need fixed up. Do I add the questions that I get? Or is this just pretend? We can already guess the questions and they are already on there.
Aweber/ questions
- Do I really have to get a different email address that is Not my Gmail account for Aweber?
- The only way I can copy my links to get them hyperlinked in aweber is to use the Ctl-C andCtl-V keystrokes it ignores the buttons and right click shortcuts. Why have the buttons then ?
- Personalize: what is the difference between {name}and {name_fix} and all the other choices they have?
-
ANSWER FROM FORUM: "name" will show the name as they typed it into the sign up form. "name_fix" changes the first letters to capital letters. my name would change to My Name. At least that's how I understand it anyways. (DKWinter)
Other:
-
I have been here almost a year and I still do not get when to use the / at the end of an URL address when I make links.
