Matt 1st thanks for your channel and great content - FYI - The Google update brought my daily website impressions from 35,000 a day down to 9000 a day and still dropping - Curious if it has affected others in the same way... Started September 1st ...
@@spetts75 very basically though. Pretty Links doesn't only do a redirect. It tracks the clicks. It can auto-insert affiliate links based on target keywords throughout your blog. It can send GA4 events to your Google Analytics so you get affiliate link click data in Google Analytics. It can insert product display links (images). Custom payment links. It's kind of a hidden gem for affiliate marketers.
Hi Matt, That was a great video. You talked about Pretty Links - In your opinion, what's the Best Affiliate Link plugin: Pretty Links or Thirsty Affiliates? And, is it worth paying for the Pro versions of each?
Interesting Matt. You didn't mention any internal link plugin. Would link whisperer be high on the list? Do you not use any? Cheers man, thanks for all your amazing. vids.
I use rank maths table of content, is that good or bad? since you are talking about the one in elementor, where I use Divi. Another quick question, adding more plugins to a website will make it slower, then why do you suggest redirection plugin when rank math already has that? I tried the autooptimizer from your advice and it broke my website, not loading the website at all... or should I say very slow. Not sure why this was.. any ideas?
Hey Matt! Thanks for this video. At 2:50 you are showing all your posts. In the 5th and 6th column are the variables that Rank Math is using to parse the Title, Sitename and Excerpt and show it in the browser on the front end, but why oh why are we just seeing variables such as "excerpt" in column 6? How would the SEO "expert" even know what the excerpt is without the variable being parsed in the WP Admin? We are considering this plugin from Yoast but for the life of me I can't imagine why Rank Math would intentionally leave variables as variables so the user has zero visiblity into what the actual title of the post is (which can be different than the Wordpress title) and what the excerpt is without having to open the post again and look at the details. Can you advise? This literally seems like something is broken rather than intentional.
Proper image opt is vital for any website. Guranteed that for 95% of sites, images will be the bulk of the website (client) content size. After that, pre and late loading is key... This should get above 90% in most speed tests, on every page of your site.... Then and only then, add a caching / cdn plugin.. :) This should reault in every page getting above 90% speed fpr every pqge, on mobile and desktop.
Hi Matt ! You content is awesome as usual. Can you help me on this: What is your opinion on starting an Affiliate blog on the 'Home and lifestyle' Niche ? And in this niche, should I target the Indian market or will targeting the US market will make me more Aff. Revenue as well as Ad. Revenue ( I am based in India ) ? Your experience and expertise is invaluable. And BTW, I have lots of patience and I am prepared to work hard.
As someone working to get off elementor because of speed issues, I personally wouldnt recommend it. There's always additional factors but it's not hard to find people with similar issues. Not to mention I've had some problems with customer support where they just closed my service ticket while I was in the middle of typing because they decided it wasnt an elementor issue and apparently refused to give me the chance to elaborate.
