WABlog and Funnel Questions

Last Update: June 08, 2010

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

  1. What is the story with the choice of WP templates? There is WA and two others.
  2. Is this thing Live?  Or do I need to do a FTp thing-a-ma -jigger  to it
  3. 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.
  4. In the widget setup mode, it  says there are left and right sidebars already given to us.  On the blog I only see right.
    1. 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)
    2. 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   

  5. 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---
  6. What is that funny sounding name that begins with an A widget for?
    1. It is called Akismet  and it prevents comment spam on your blog. DKWinter
    2. Where do I put it?  Is there some kind of hidden a html box where all that stuff goes.?
  7. 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?
    1. ANSWER:  There are HostGator affiliate links within the MAD Marketing course that you are offering to your list .(DKWinter)
    2. Shouldn't there be a Host GAtor sidebar graphic thingy-- hopefully without the blinking Gator?
  8. Same thing with my clickbank code what is it supposed to be attached to?
    1. ANSWER:  Same reason as the HostGator affiliate link. Although I don't recall seeing any links to a clickbnk product within the course.(DKWnter)

  9. Does WA have a sample privacy policy? I know how to make one at Free Privacy--
    1. Yeah: I  found that one is already on the page!
  10. 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?   

  11. 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?
  12. 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...
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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:

  1. Why does one of the  "Mad money" link shave 1.php at the end of the url link and the other does not?
  2. explain:  "the more opt-in the more power as a marketer" 
    1. I thought the Mad marketing was the opt-in Am I supposed to make up more?  What are they supposed to be?
    2. 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?
  3. About the  Thomas Edison quote:  Did he fail 1,000 times or 10,000 times  The follow up content used both.
  4. 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

  1. Do I really have to get a different email address that is Not my Gmail account for Aweber?
  2. 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 ?
  3. Personalize: what is the difference between {name}and {name_fix} and all the other choices they have?
    1. 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:

  1. 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.
