We are a few short weeks of rolling out the 10 day FREE Test Drive for Wealthy Affiliate. This means that ANYONE is going to be able to get access to The Open Education Project to check it out, use it, feel it, engage within it... but more importantly it means a massive opportunity WA Affiliates. Opportunity that is unmatched in the industry (or anywhere I believe) that can lead to anyone creating a full time business from simply giving away access to Wealthy Affiliate for free. Sounds crazy

Google has laid the SMACK down once again! I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. I have talked to many people today and seen some sights personally that have been Google slapped for no reason... That means, sites that are: (1) Well designed (2) 100% unique and valuable content (3) Not "Over SEO'd" (4) Do not have disproportionate amounts of back links (5) Are not part of a blog network These are great sites with great content and great user value. So why did G

This may seem far fetched and perhaps far too abstract for some, but personally I believe the Google Docs was an initiative to improve their search technology. Google Docs for SEO? You are crazy Kyle! Let me explain.. Google wants quality content. If their search is not delivering the highest quality, most relevant content to users, then people are going to use another search engine. It has always been their focus. However, the metrics that were once Google's SEO staples are

FOR CLARITY SAKE!  Sorry guys and gals, we have not gotten around to making some of the announcements of aspects of the WA system that were either removed or phased out.  Carson made a post about "what was removed" from WA last week, but today I wanted to explain some stuff that is happening with the keyword research tool here at WA. First, some stuff was stripped and many are frustrated by this.  We are sorry, but this HAD to take place with the integration of Jaa

The WA Shoutout system has been fixed for Twitter. For some reason, Twitter was blocking the domain name (www.wealthyaffiliate.com) from URL entries in tweets, and we have since added a URL shortener instead as the link within the Shoutout system. See Shoutout System Here You can now use the system again for Twitter and earn revenue in the process. Share some of our top WA blog posts. This is something that will work great, in particular leading up to when we go Free for 10 Day (test dr

Wealthy Affiliate, The Open Education Project has been a massive update. The education platform has seen the most activity per user login since the inception of Wealthy Affiliate. This tells us a few things, first, WA is getting used like never before. It is far more integrated and members are communicating much more efficiently. Secondly, people are getting used to change, which is hard sometimes and I thank everyone for grasping onto the idea of an open education network so quickly. Everyt

Attention Affiliates (and members): Our website is being redirected as of today, to our dashboard login page.  Prospective customers will be able to see what the new WA looks like in the background, but will not be able to log in.  Here is what it will look like if you are not already logged into WA.   From there, there is a join button along with a "Learn more" link which goes to our blog page explaining what "The Open Education Project" is. http

What’s up folks, this is Kyle, co-founder of Wealthy Affiliate. If I haven’t bumped into you already or we haven’t chatted yet, let me first offer my personal help to you. You can reach me any time of the day, through my profile here at WA. I am here to help, and I unequivocally PROMISE to get back to everyone. You can also drop me a comment at the bottom of this post. OK, we are now a few days into The Open Education Project and I am getting quite a few questions about how to

I want to ask you all a very serious question (or two) today, one in which is going to help us make some very important decisions. My first question is: "What do you use the forum for?" I know many of you use it because you have been using it for some time, but that is not an answer. Please be very specific with your answers and tell me about the exact function that you use it for. This way the feedback will be the most powerful and helpful. What are my opinions on the forum?

  I use Twitter, but I use it with a purpose.  Same with everyone that uses Twitter.   However, a good deal of Twitter users are fake and have been created for the purpose of spamming.  That is right, approximately 60% of all traffic on twitter is spam, and Twitter is fed up.  They have recently filed a lawsuit against FIVE different entities that are participating in the facilitation of spam.  This includes three Twitter automated companies: Tweet
