Today I wanted to give you a little bit of insight into how the '"Free for 10" WA Test Drive launch is going to work so that you can start orchestrating your marketing campaigns in parallel with this.  When Are We Going Free? I don’t want to make an absolute firm promise just yet, but it is looking like the launch of the WA for Free 10 Day Test Drive is going commence on May 1st, 2012.  This is our scheduled date and we are working our butts off to make sure t

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update. For those of you that were wondering how your training was performing and we not seeing the progress bars moving within your "My Resources" (resource management) page, you can now watch your progress through the different stages of the credit system. When you create training  you will get paid based on the success of the tutorail.  As it gets rankings, as people comment, engage, Like it, view it, and use it, the progress

It has been a bit of a crazy day over here in WALand one for me that was filled with a day that was as about as diverse as they come. I got a ping (Google Talk message) from someone today and I took 10 minutes to get back to them (which is rare in my world if I am around) and I had to say this... Sorry, I am multi-multi-tasking right now! But what did this mean. Well, I did a quick count on my screen and I had 23 tabs (see my set-up below) opened in my browser across three different s

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
