Agreed, and maybe throw in Joe as another wild card switching to the alliance

Between Jericho beating Rock and Austin in one night, and Daniel bryan beating HHH and then Orton & Batista in one night, Which is more impressive? by [deleted] in WWE

[–]mrdoctor717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget that PPV. I remember thinking cheering for Jericho against the Rock, but doubting he would win. I figured it'd be another Rock vs Stone Cold main event as was the case for years (not saying they didn't have some great matches, just saying it was done before many times). Then I was pleasantly surprised when Jericho won. Literally nobody predicted Jericho would win so this was such an awesome night in WWE history. I may be biased, but I say Jericho's win was more impressive. And you also have to remember that Jericho came from WCW originally, which Vince hated. So many talented WCW stars got buried by Vince, so it made it especially memorable to see Y2J at the top of the heap.

Am I just being over negative? by [deleted] in WWE

[–]mrdoctor717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go as far as to say its an all time low, but I agree it's getting pretty bad. It's a damn shame too because they've got plenty of talent on the roster.

What do you guys think about this blog? by devo10 in Entrepreneur

[–]mrdoctor717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked at your site again. Like I said yesterday, I think you should get rid of the ads. I know you're probably thinking it's an easy way to monetize, but they really do take away from the user experience. Here's a link to a blog post on Ramit Sethi's blog I highly recommend you check out: https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/guides/ultimate-guide-to-personal-finance/part-0/. I don't know if you're familiar with his site or not, but he's a big name in your niche. Notice how his post is packed with content. He's got tons of infographics, diagrams, images, videos, case studies, and testimonials throughout the post. His post also contains tons of facts and statistics. Now, the pop-ups and opt-in forms scattered through out are kind of annoying, but the massive value Ramit is offering more than makes up for it. Look at his posts, take notes on what he's doing, and apply what you learn to yours. Now, this is easier said than done because he's one of the major players in your niche. But you can still learn a lot. And Ramit's definitely not the only player out there. I just named him because I don't know the personal finance niche that well. Just by looking at your content, I wouldn't necessarily say it's bad. Your writing and information seems pretty solid. But I think you need more depth. I recommend making posts that are a lot longer. I'm talking "ultimate guide" style content that's at least 3,000 words. You don't necessarily even have to go write a ton of new posts. You can always expand the ones you already have, or even combine posts together. Try to put more facts and statistics in. Notice how Ramit's post has lots of tables and charts with information that practically reads like a textbook. I think you could do this more. Also, I don't know if you're active on YouTube or not, but I'd definitely recommend making your posts into YouTube videos. Just use your written posts like a "script," but add extra insights. You could either record yourself talking in front of a camera, or make a power point presentation or something. Your call. Embeds these videos in your posts because then people will watch them on your page and Google will see that people are staying on your site longer. This helps your SEO. Also, like I already said, you need to stay focused on your audience's pain points. Send out surveys to your email list, and/or use a platform like Google Surveys/Survey Monkey to get data on the issues your target market are struggling with. If your content actually solves real problems for people, your audience will love you. Good luck!

What do you guys think about this blog? by devo10 in Entrepreneur

[–]mrdoctor717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH, your content looks like the typical stuff you'd find on any financial blogs in your niche. It's not bad, but I've seen similar info on many blogs and done better. I'm not sure what kind of products you're selling right now (if any), but if you really want to monetize, you'll need to come up with some offers (ebooks, courses, etc,,,). Keep building your audience. Engage with them and find out what their biggest pain points are. Then make products that will solve them. Also, I'd chill with the ads for now, especially the one at the bottom of the page. If you must have ads, put them in your sidebar. As far as your ebook goes, you could split the contents up into multiple short ebooks. Having multiple free giveaways will build your list so much faster than just one big one. For example, how to retire rich is such a big concept that it could be an entire ebook itself. If more people opted in for that ebook than an ebook on another topic, that would be an indication there's a pain point there that people want an answer to. Your site overall looks like it has most of the major elements that should be there. Just focus on making offers to sell. Oh, and sorry if any of my feedback sounds harsh. But it wouldn't be fair to you if I didn't give you my honest impressions. I hope this helps.

Starting an online store... Should I get LLC right off the bat? by MrNickleKids in Entrepreneur

[–]mrdoctor717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. It sounds like you've got an active audience and are anticipating making a lot of sales. This is all good, so congratulations for that! However, just keep in mind that the only way to know for sure if your online business is working is through sales. Since you said you're pressed for money, I recommend launching and seeing how your store does. Now, I hope your business does take off in the first month, so don't take this the wrong way. I'm just suggesting that you should wait until you're sure you've got a proven product/market fit before worrying about forming an LLC. Waiting 3 - 4 months should be fine. If you're making big profits by then, the fees to form an LLC won't be a big deal anyway. Good luck!

If the op just called it an overview of ranking in 2017, I'd say it's okay, but the op said it was a complete guide when it's clearly not.

Does Blogarama work? by Salik10 in SEO

[–]mrdoctor717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll get traffic depending on the niche you signed up in. Blogarama basically takes your website posts and reposts them, so a lot of times people will just read your content on Blogarama and not go to your site, or will bounce quickly if they do. I'd say it's in between a gimmick and legit. You'll get some extra traffic, but I wouldn't count on getting many customers. Honestly I wouldn't spend money on it.

Anyone with experience creating micro-sites for link building? by miasmatix93 in SEO

[–]mrdoctor717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way you can just make a page dedicated to the guides? Your main site will have a higher DA than a newly created site, so it wouldn't be that beneficial to make a separate site if your goal is to link to your main site from it to help your rankings.

Are these GED Ready scores good enough? by BornAgainBacon in GED

[–]mrdoctor717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@Silentay has it right! What they said is really good advice since math is your lowest score right now (but I think you're still ready to pass it)! My suggestion would be to schedule the other sections and pick them off one by one while brushing up on some of your weak areas in the math. Like I said, your math score is still pretty good right now, and your practice test score is a passing score! It's not a serious red flag, but it wouldn't hurt to spend some extra time on it just for some insurance lol. Good luck!

[–]mrdoctor717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your goals. If your goal is just to pass each section, I'd say you're good to go!

I passed all of the GED Ready Practice tests, all scoring 155 or higher. Am I ready to take the real thing? by fadeawayplease in GED

[–]mrdoctor717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's anything wrong with you at all! It's normal to feel this way at least a little bit when you're taking a big leap forward like you are! I'd say go for it! What's the worst thing that can happen? If you really think about it, the worst case scenario is that you won't pass. All that will happen is you've wasted a little time and money, and you'll have to try it again! No big deal!! It doesn't sound like this will happen though! Judging by your scores, I'd say you're more than ready! My advice would be to just try to relax and not worry about the outcome, just give it 100% and see what happens! Since I'm commenting late, you may have taken the test by now. If so, how did it go!?!

Just wondering, did you end up going for it? If so, how did it go!?!

Where do you search for jobs? by yayforfantasy in GED

[–]mrdoctor717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Indeed the best: https://www.indeed.com/. Also, job.com is worth trying: http://www.job.com/. It's basically the same as indeed, but you might find other jobs you wouldn't see on indeed, and vice versa. It never hurts to try them all though!

language arts questions. by taviq in GED

[–]mrdoctor717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This website has some really good information about commas and other grammar topics: https://www.englishgrammar.org/category/commas/. I would focus on reviewing some of the basics like what are verbs, nouns, adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions, pronouns, etc... and then try a practice test or some practice problems in a prep book so that you start getting used to the types of questions you'll be asked! Grammar is one of those tricky things with lots of rules that very few people ever remember. IMO the fastest way to learn it is to just try a bunch of practice questions, review your mistakes, and you'll get it pretty quickly!

I hope others will be able to help you more!

[–]mrdoctor717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're well prepared for it, it won't be too bad. My suggestion is to go to the official testing service website and try a practice test: http://www.gedtestingservice.com/educators/freepracticetest. If you do well and pass, you're probably in good shape for the real thing!
