Conversion.</p>\n<p>You could have a lot of traffic going to your site, but those visits don’t really matter if you aren’t converting them into customers. The only visitors that matter are those that are adding to your bottom-line. All other traffic is essentially wasted.</p>\n<p>Are you finding yourself with a lot of traffic, selling the right products at competitive prices, yet not with many paying customers? Then read on to find out why your site isn’t converting and what you can do about it.</p>\n<h2>Check Your Current Conversion Rate</h2>\n<p>First things first, you should know your current conversion rate. Whether you measure your conversions by product purchases, brochure downloads or email newsletter signups: you need to be measuring and tracking those conversions regularly. You can track your conversion rate using Goals in <a href=\"https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Analytics,</a> or through any other analytics platform of your choosing.</p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s considered a good conversion rate? The ideal rate is between 2 to 3 percent. This rate could be higher or lower based on the value of the conversion (e.g. you’d have more difficulty converting customers if you’re selling products or services worth $10,000+). But if you’re having less than 2 percent conversion and your conversion value isn’t very high, then you might have a problem on your hands.</p>\n<p>Here are five reasons why your site may be underperforming.</p>\n<h2>#1. You’re Providing a Bad Mobile Experience</h2>\n<p>If your website isn’t mobile-friendly, there is no way it will survive in these times. It isn&#8217;t enough for your site to be responsive, it has to be designed specifically for mobile in terms of content and structure. Failure to do so would mean marginalizing a substantial portion of your customer base and in turn decreasing your conversion rate.</p>\n<p>But what does designing for mobile entail?</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using large and easily legible text</li>\n<li>Using short paragraphs</li>\n<li>Making sure that every key feature is just a tap away</li>\n<li>Having just a single call-to-action</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The key is to keep testing your mobile site. Perhaps you should even ask customers and family members for feedback on your site’s mobile experience. Afterwards, you should review what is working and what is not &#8211; and address those issues.</p>\n<p>As long as you do not ignore the importance of having a good mobile experience for your site, you can easily hone in on the reason(s) your site is not converting.</p>\n<h2>#2. No Call to Action</h2>\n<p>Your website could be user-friendly with engaging and quality content, but without a clear and concise call-to-action, you simply won’t convert. Users may want to convert but just don&#8217;t have the opportunity or means to do so. Because you haven’t provided it.</p>\n<p>Make your call-to-action clear, concise, prominent, specific and compelling. Provide all the information users need so they know exactly what you want them to do next. Create calls-to-action that are relevant and specific; and place them in a prominent place on every page of your site.</p>\n<p>Whatever you do, make sure it is very easy for the user to convert when they are ready to.</p>\n<h2>#3. Your Users Are Annoyed with Your Website</h2>\n<p>You may be missing out on conversion opportunities if there is something off-putting about your site. Look at your bounce rate: if it is high, then you know there is something that is not appealing to users.</p>\n<p>In such a case, you need to find out what the problem is &#8211; directly from the user. You may use heat maps and look at your user journeys via Google Analytics, but perhaps it will make your job easier to ask users directly (e.g. via a quick survey).</p>\n<p>A few common annoyances on websites:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>You do not offer any useful information</li>\n<li>Navigation is too difficult</li>\n<li>You have too many ads or popups</li>\n<li>Your site doesn’t look good</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These are all problems with a rather easy fix. Take your time investigating them and fix the errors as soon as you can.</p>\n<h2>#4. You’re Off-Target</h2>\n<p>Your website should be anything but general. A lot of website owners aim to please everyone – but they can’t – and end up isolating their entire audience.</p>\n<p>Perhaps you’re writing for the wrong audience, perhaps you’re writing for a larger demographic than you should be; whatever the case, inaccurate targeting could negatively impact your conversion rate. Your copy, branding, marketing and site design should speak directly to a niche demographic.</p>\n<p>Conduct market research to properly define and know your audience.</p>\n<h2>#5. You Have a Slow Site</h2>\n<p>We previously covered the importance of website load speed and provided <a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/10-quick-easy-ways-to-speed-up-your-wordpress-site/\">tips on to speed up your site</a>. When your website doesn’t load fast, your visitors leave and are unlikely to visit again in the near future.</p>\n<p>There are many factors that can slow down your site, such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>A site that isn’t optimized for mobile</li>\n<li>Broken links</li>\n<li>Not using caching</li>\n<li>Messy code</li>\n<li>Images that aren’t optimized</li>\n<li>Flash and Java</li>\n<li>Average web hosting</li>\n</ul>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check your current site speed via Page Speed Insights</a>. If your site is taking longer than 3 seconds to load, you need to work on it. Studies show that most users quickly exit sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load.</p>\n<h2>Measure, Measure and Measure</h2>\n<p>This is actually a sixth reason why your site may not be converting. Measure, measure and keep measuring. If you’re not measuring, you’re guessing, and in turn, not really making any strides.</p>\n<p>The problem most website owners encounter is that they are either not tracking their website traffic or that they are tracking but not reviewing their metrics. Some do know they should be tracking, but just aren’t sure what to look for or what to make of the results.</p>\n<p>Well, you should always start with your goals in mind.

That changed a few years ago (2012 to be exact) when Google wanted to weed out websites that may have good domain names but very little “substanceâ€�.</p>\n<p>Exact Match Domains (EMD) is where the problem started. Businesses would essentially purchase keyword domains to rank for a particular keyword. And the EMD was enough for them to rank: they barely focused on quality content and relevance (two things that matter greatly for SEO nowadays). That strategy no longer works.</p>\n<p>That’s not to say that domain names no longer affect SEO. They still do (and studies have proven that), but how?</p>\n<p>Let’s find out.</p>\n<h2>How Domain Names Impact SEO</h2>\n<p>There have been a lot of changes to SEO, particularly from the largest search engine: Google. But one thing that hasn’t changed, but has been emphasized more, is original quality content, relevance and always aligning with search engine best practices. A component of this is your domain name &#8211; it’s unique, only you can have it.</p>\n<p>Even though it may not directly impact your rankings anymore, a good domain name will get you more brand recognition, trust and higher click-through-rates (CTR).</p>\n<p>However, the definition of a good domain name has changed, at least according to Google. We see this in how the search engine treats certain types of domains.</p>\n<h2>Exact Match Domains (EMD)</h2>\n<p>EMDs are domain names that include keyword phrases. For example, let’s say you are selling hair products and want to rank for “quality hair products.â€� The EMD you would most likely use is qualityhairproducts.com. Just purchasing that domain would have gotten you the first page ranking a while ago.</p>\n<p>Yup! You wouldn’t have needed original content or backlinks. You would simply rank for it with your domain name. That all changed after Google released the Exact Match Domain Update.</p>\n<p>The update essentially made EMDs obsolete in search engine rankings. In fact, a study by High Position showed that the average EMD ranking went from position 13.4 to 26.6 (yikes!) after Google’s update. The average top 10 EMD also dropped in rankings: from 3.2 down to 11.9. So now we know that choosing an exact match domain in 2017 is quite pointless, a bad idea even.</p>\n<p>So how should you decide on a domain name to maximize SEO? You need only do two things: choose a memorable brand name (to make your domain name) and pick a .com extension.</p>\n<p>Let’s go into more detail.</p>\n<h2>Your Brand Name Should Be Your Domain Name</h2>\n<p>We can all agree that your brand is important. Your brand name is how your customers recognize and find you in search engines and social media platforms. So think of your domain name as the foothold of your online brand.</p>\n<p>In fact, the more customers are using your brand name to search for you online, the more your SEO and rankings will improve. This is referred to as brand signalling (any reference of your business online). Matt Cutts, former Head of Web Spam at Google, claimed that Google “actually came up with a classifier to say, okay, IRS or Wikipedia or New York Times is over on this side, and the low-quality sites are over on this side.â€�</p>\n<p>That’s right, Google now cares more about brands for SEO than it does about keywords and links. For that reason, using your brand name is more important than keywords. You’re probably scratching your head at this point, wondering how Google would associate your brand with certain keywords&#8230;</p>\n<p>Well, Google will associate keywords with your brand as your brand becomes more popular; and as you produce more relevant and high quality content. Let’s take a look at Bitly as an example. It’s a URL shortener and link management platform yet their brand name does not match those keywords. It however ranks at the top for those keywords in Google.</p>\n<p>That’s because of its popularity. As long as people recognize it and are searching for it, Google will measure that brand signal and rank it accordingly. For this reason, it is important to have a memorable brand name and consequently, a memorable domain name.</p>\n<p>Don’t worry if your brand name contains a keyword, or in other words, is a PMD (partial match domain). That’s because Google is only searching for spam sites with EMDs and PMDs &#8211; the actual problem isn’t the keywords, but rather the content and quality of the site. A PMD or EMD with bad user experience and low quality content would experience a steep downgrade in rankings. Whereas, a PMD or EMD with great user experience and content would not be greatly affected.</p>\n<p><em>However</em>, if you are just starting out, you should go with a memorable brand name domain and avoid using keywords.</p>\n<h2>Opt For a .com Extension</h2>\n<p>You probably already know that .com is the most popular domain extension. That is because most other domain extensions like .biz and .us are viewed as spam. Although choosing it may not directly impact your rankings, you may be viewed as a low-ranking site which could affect your SEO.</p>\n<p>.com is simply the most convenient and safest choice to go with. When in doubt, go with it.</p>\n<h2>Tips for Choosing the Perfect Domain Name</h2>\n<p>Now let’s recap and go over the tips on picking the best domain name:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use your brand name</li>\n<li>Don’t use exact match domains. Partial match domains are OK but a brand name is always more effective</li>\n<li>Choose a .com extension</li>\n<li>Make it memorable so users can easily remember it</li>\n<li>Keep it short, 15 characters at most</li>\n<li>Avoid numbers, hyphens and special characters</li>\n<li>Avoid misspelling words on purpose. It’s a no-no for branding</li>\n<li>Make it easy to spell</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Wrapping Up</h2>\n<p>We hope you now have a good understanding of how domain names affect SEO in 2017. If you’re starting a new business or changing to a better domain name, the tips above should help you pick out the best one for your business.</p>\n<p>Remember: As long as you have great content and a good SEO strategy, a strong and unique domain name may rank you higher. Choose one wisely, use it correctly and start reaping the value.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"https://semperplugins.com/choosing-the-right-domain-name-for-seo/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2:\"30\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:48:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n		\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\n		\n		\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"How to Come up with Great Content Ideas\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"https://semperplugins.com/how-to-come-up-with-great-content-ideas/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:75:\"https://semperplugins.com/how-to-come-up-with-great-content-ideas/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 29 Aug 2017 13:00:30 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:3:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"Blog\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"SEO Tips\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:17:\"content marketing\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"http://semperplugins.com/?p=2375\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:425:\"Do you spend hours staring at a blank computer screen or piece of paper, desperately racking your brain for just one great content idea?

Well, the sad reality is that you cannot afford to wait for inspiration to strike: your readers are waiting for yet another one of your great posts to enjoy and share.</p>\n<p>This article is your reference for tips and tricks to find inspiration and create great content to grow your WordPress site.</p>\n<p>We’ll cover the following topics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to source inspiration directly from your readers</li>\n<li>How to get great topic ideas from your social media channels</li>\n<li>Useful tools you may already be using, but not as effectively</li>\n<li>How to overcome writer&#8217;s block</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Know Your Readers and Their Concerns</h2>\n<p>This is arguably the starting point to creating great content: knowing your reader and their concerns.</p>\n<p>To gain and maintain a steady stream of followers, you must produce consistently good content that your blog visitors are interested in. Since your content is ideally centered around the needs and interests of your readers, it is therefore very important to know who they are.  But how would you know what your readers are interested in?</p>\n<p>First, put yourself in your reader&#8217;s shoes. Then ask and answer the following questions:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>What issues do your readers struggle with most?</li>\n<li>What would better enable them to understand and solve those issues?</li>\n<li>What would a reader enter in search engines to find content in your niche?</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Creating valuable content boils down to problem solving. You can start writing winning content more easily once you know what your readers are looking for and what their pain points are.</p>\n<p>A key thing to remember, however, is that some of your readers may be beginners who are trying to come to grips with your subject area. So create content that is clear &amp; appealing to beginners and which does not exclusively focus on advanced readers.</p>\n<h3>Look at Your Analytics</h3>\n<p>Your website analytics will provide you with a lot of insight regarding where your readers are coming from and how they&#8217;re interacting with your site. Check <a href=\"https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Analytics</a> for keywords that users are searching for to get to your site, and then create engaging content about those topics.</p>\n<p>You can also use those insights to update and keep existing posts relevant; or to create new posts with detailed information on the problems your target audience is trying to solve.</p>\n<h3>Go Through Your Blog Comments</h3>\n<p>Your blog comments can be extremely helpful to you in a number of ways.</p>\n<p>First of all, they provide you with great insight into what readers think of the content you have written. This may include positive or negative feedback on the style and clarity of your writing, questions for more information on areas you can expand on, wide-spread problems being discussed and/or solutions to those problems.</p>\n<p>Note them down and come up with post ideas to help your readers.</p>\n<p>If your readers take the time to report a problem they are having, or to give you feedback, you need to listen. It usually means that it&#8217;s a significant challenge they, and other users, are facing.</p>\n<h3>Sift Through Your FAQs</h3>\n<p>You can actively engage with your readers by answering their most frequently asked questions in blog posts. This will show readers that you have carefully considered their responses to your content, and also helps other readers who may also have similar questions.</p>\n<p>And as a nice bonus, you may attract some more visitors that wouldn&#8217;t have found your WordPress site otherwise.</p>\n<h2>Use Social Media</h2>\n<p>Social media channels are arguably the best place to source inspiration. Take <a href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BuzzFeed</a> for example. They constantly browse the web for fun ideas &#8211; typically small trends or trending topics in niche areas &#8211; and make them more mainstream.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3026\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-3026\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends.jpg\" alt=\"At the time of writing, Twitter show us, for example, that growth hacking and content marketing tips are trending among bloggers.\" width=\"500\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends.jpg 754w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends-300x228.jpg 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends-328x250.jpg 328w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends-100x76.jpg 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends-150x114.jpg 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends-200x152.jpg 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends-450x343.jpg 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/twitter-trends-600x457.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the time of writing, Twitter show us that growth hacking and content marketing tips are now trending among bloggers.</p></div>\n<p>You can also use social media to stay on top of industry trends; and to monitor the new keywords created by these trends. Use tools like <a href=\"https://www.google.com/trends/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Trends</a>, Twitter Trends, <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit</a>, etc. to keep up with the conversation and take it to your blog.</p>\n<h2><b>Questionnaires </b>and Polls</h2>\n<p>Another useful way to engage with readers is to put out short surveys or polls on your blog, social media or your mailing list. Ask them any questions they may have or for their opinion on certain topics that you covered. This is also a fantastic way to keep them engaged with your content.</p>\n<p>Make it clear to your mailing list that you welcome questions. One way to do this is to offer some sort of incentive: perhaps a product discount, a coupon, or free mentoring to anyone who is willing to give a short interview. Interviewing in particular is a great way to find out a host of questions or issues your audience may have with your topic or industry that may never have even crossed your mind. This strategy may seem daunting, but is an effective way of coming up with content that is higher quality and more relevant to your audience.</p>\n<h2>Recycle and Transform</h2>\n<p>The fastest way for you to generate content ideas is by reading through existing content and expanding and improving on it. This means looking though what your competitors are writing about, and using that as a beacon to light your own blog posts. It is about taking already existing material, not copying it, but using it as a starting point for your own inspiration.</p>\n<p>An important thing to consistently keep in mind when expanding and improving existing material is to not limit yourself to the original piece; to consider what else readers would benefit from knowing. Perhaps you could make the piece more personal and relatable by referencing your personal experiences.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3639\" style=\"width: 515px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-3639\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot.png\" alt=\"Using Feedly, you can quickly find out what your competitors are writing about and use their content as a source of inspiration for your own.\" width=\"505\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot.png 1280w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-300x219.png 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-768x561.png 768w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-1024x748.png 1024w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-342x250.png 342w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-100x73.png 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-150x110.png 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-200x146.png 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-450x329.png 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-600x438.png 600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/feedly-screenshot-900x657.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Using Feedly, you can quickly find out what your competitors are writing about and use their content as a source of inspiration for your own.</p></div>\n<p>So how can you discover other content in your niche?

We’ll show you how.</p>\n<p>First things first, let&#8217;s cover the basics of landing pages.</p>\n<h2>Why Should I Build a Landing Page?</h2>\n<p>Because they convert. A landing page is essentially the entry point to your site. A great landing page will <strong>grab a visitor’s attention and persuade them to take a desired action</strong>: perhaps you want them to sign up for your email list, download a brochure, buy a product, etc. Whatever the goal, a good landing page is always focused towards that goal.</p>\n<p>Just to make sure that you understand, let’s look at the difference between a landing page and the homepage of a site: <strong>a landing page is focused on a specific goal or objective</strong> while your main homepage has a broad objective. The aim of a landing page is to take your visitors through a specific marketing journey while the main homepage allows visitors to decide on their own journey through your site.</p>\n<p>Anyone can tell you that you don&#8217;t really need a landing page to get a visitor to take a specific action. You can actually make them take the desired action on your homepage.</p>\n<p>BUT, <strong>with a good landing page you will achieve a higher conversion rate</strong> because it is very specific in its goal. A homepage has a lot of information and elements that may distract a user from taking the desired action.</p>\n<p>So, are you ready to build one? Here are several ways to build landing pages in WordPress.</p>\n<h2>Building a Custom Page</h2>\n<p>Building a custom page within WordPress is the old-fashioned approach. You would simply just build a custom page template on any theme you have; and do whatever you need to in the template.</p>\n<p>The easiest way to build a custom page template in WordPress is to copy the default page PHP template and edit CSS and HTML components to get the desired design or structure.</p>\n<h2>Using Plugins to Build Landing Pages</h2>\n<p>Plugins are the best way to go if you do not want to worry about dealing with code.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there aren’t many free landing page builder plugins out there. And the few free ones often have in-plugin purchases or limited features. There is, however, one free plugin that has all the features you need to build a functional landing page in WordPress. It’s among the top landing page plugins (see below).</p>\n<h3>WordPress Landing Pages</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/landing-pages/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress Landing Pages</a> is an easy-to-use plugin that has <strong>all the basic features you need to build a functional landing page</strong>. It has a fair selection of templates, allows you to split test (a/b testing) your landing pages, as well as to track and measure conversions.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3482\" style=\"width: 723px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-3482\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages.png\" alt=\"The WordPress Landing Pages plugin is fully integrated in the Theme Builder and allows you to quickly customize any elements you like.\" width=\"713\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages.png 1920w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-300x157.png 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-768x402.png 768w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-1024x537.png 1024w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-477x250.png 477w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-100x52.png 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-150x79.png 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-200x105.png 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-450x236.png 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-600x314.png 600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-900x472.png 900w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/wordpress-landing-pages-1200x630.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The WordPress Landing Pages plugin is fully integrated in the Theme Builder and allows you to quickly customize any elements you like.</p></div>\n<p>All in all, it is a good option if you are on a budget and don’t want to invest in a more functional landing page plugin at the moment.</p>\n<h3>Thrive Landing Pages</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://thrivethemes.com/landingpages/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thrive Landing Pages</a> has a drag &amp; drop editor that makes it extremely easy to create and edit landing pages. It<strong> comes with over 140 templates</strong> (some themed) for you to choose from. The great thing about the plugin is that the landing pages are combined in sets to provide a consistent user experience. That means that the opt-in page, &#8220;thank you&#8221; page and confirmation pages in a particular set have the same feel and don’t provide random experiences.</p>\n<h3>Leadpages</h3>\n<p>Leadpages is actually an online landing page builder &#8211; we’ll be addressing it more thoroughly down below &#8211; with a plugin for WordPress. It has a centralized editor and your <strong>landing pages are hosted on Leadpages servers</strong>. The best thing about Leadpages is that you can easily and quickly create or publish a landing page. All you need to do is choose a template, customize it (through the drag &amp; drop page builder) and add it to your site.</p>\n<h3>Beaver Builder</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beaver Builder</a> is simply a drag &amp; drop page theme builder (another option covered below) that also comes as a plugin. You can easily and quickly create custom layouts and designs &#8211; you have around 30 landing pages to choose from.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3483\" style=\"width: 734px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-3483\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder.jpg\" alt=\"You can try out the Beaver Builder plugin for yourself at http://demo.wpbeaverbuilder.com/.\" width=\"724\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder.jpg 1917w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-300x150.jpg 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-768x383.jpg 768w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-1024x511.jpg 1024w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-501x250.jpg 501w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-100x50.jpg 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-150x75.jpg 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-200x100.jpg 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-450x225.jpg 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-600x300.jpg 600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/beaver-builder-900x449.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can try out the Beaver Builder plugin for yourself at <a href=\"http://demo.wpbeaverbuilder.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demo.wpbeaverbuilder.com</a>.</p></div>\n<p>The great thing about Beaver Builder is that <strong>you can use your WordPress widgets to add more functionality</strong> and bring elements in from your site to your landing pages.</p>\n<h3>OptimizePress</h3>\n<p>You’ve probably heard of <a href=\"https://www.optimizepress.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OptimizePress</a> before &#8211; it has been <strong>one of the most popular plugins</strong> to build landing pages for quite some time. That’s because it offers a wide range of templates and a powerful drag &amp; drop editor to quickly create the landing page you need. Note: the size of the plugin is quite large (29MB).</p>\n<h2>Theme Builders</h2>\n<p>As we mentioned earlier, <strong>most WordPress themes are quite restrictive when it comes to design and structure</strong>. For example, you can customize the primary content block of a page in most themes but you cannot amend the design of anything outside the block. So, if you aim to create a landing page from a theme page template, you would just end up with a new page with the same design as your website &#8211; the opposite of a landing page. Unless you build a custom page template (mentioned earlier) or use advanced theme builders.</p>\n<p>What advanced theme builders offer are drag and drop builders. They essentially enable you to customize every and any design aspect of any page. The interface is also very easy to use.<br />\nThere are plenty of great drag &amp; drop theme builders available. A few off the top of my head: <a href=\"https://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/divi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Divi</a>, <a href=\"https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Total</a>, Beaver Builder (its plugin version is recommended above) and <a href=\"http://demo.qodeinteractive.com/strata/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strata</a>.</p>\n<p>If you need a variety of landing page templates, it is highly recommended you use this method instead of creating custom theme templates. It will save you time and make your work much easier.</p>\n<h2>Leadpages</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.leadpages.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leadpages is known for creating stunning and functional landing pages</a>. It offers dozens of integrations to help make your WordPress landing page user friendly and attractive. The downside is that it isn’t free: plans start at $36.99 per month.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3484\" style=\"width: 743px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-3484\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages.jpg\" alt=\"Leadpages has more than a hundred of templates to choose from that can be added to your site within minutes.\" width=\"733\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages.jpg 1877w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-300x148.jpg 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-768x379.jpg 768w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-506x250.jpg 506w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-100x49.jpg 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-150x74.jpg 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-200x99.jpg 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-450x222.jpg 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-600x296.jpg 600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/leadpages-900x444.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leadpages has more than a hundred of templates to choose from that can be added to your site within minutes.</p></div>\n<p>What you get is <strong>144+ well-designed templates</strong>, a simple editor that enables you to create and <strong>publish a stunning landing page in 10 minutes</strong> or less and the ability to split test your landing pages.</p>\n<p>It’s not a stretch to say that Leadpages is the most popular landing page option. It is actually hard to find a popular blog online that doesn’t use it. Two of the many reasons for it’s popularity is that you do not need to be a designer to use it and all their templates have been tested as effective and high converting templates.</p>\n<p>The price may be worth it to you if you want to save time, as the platform is incredibly easy to use.</p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up</h2>\n<p>Although WordPress may not be designed to handle landing pages, you can easily create one using either the old-fashioned method of building a custom page template or by using a plugin.

If you already have HTTPS, this shouldn’t affect you. <strong>But if you’re still using HTTP, you’ll need to upgrade soon.</strong> The good news is that the transition is not as difficult as you think it is and the benefits outweigh the assumed disadvantages.</p>\n<p>This article will go over what the WordPress HTTPS mandate means for you as a site owner; the advantages; as well as how to upgrade to HTTPS if you haven’t already done so.</p>\n<h2>What is HTTPS?</h2>\n<p>HTTPS adds a security layer to HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). <strong>HTTPS essentially encrypts data</strong> (using SSL or TSL) that is communicated between servers and clients until it reaches the intended recipient.</p>\n<p>This<strong> prevents cybercriminals from accessing sensitive user information</strong> and also reduces the risk of tapping and modification of sensitive data. Although HTTPS is not completely foolproof, it undoubtedly has major security advantages.</p>\n<p>HTTPS sites can be easily identified, as they have a locked padlock icon located on the link bar in most common browsers.</p>\n<h2>Why is WordPress Pushing HTTPS?</h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s mainly two reasons for this, so let&#8217;s quickly dive into them.</p>\n<h3>Google Prefers It</h3>\n<p>It is no secret that greater encryption and cyber security has made the Internet a safer place for users. As usual, a Google update signaled the necessity of HTTPS for user experience, SEO and internet security.</p>\n<p>In 2014, Google suggested that <strong>enabling HTTPS on your site could result in higher search rankings</strong>. Although it still isn’t the only important factor in raising your site rankings, you shouldn’t underestimate its value. For example, if two sites are equal in all ways, but one site has HTTPS, that site would get a boost in rankings.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3342\" style=\"width: 511px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-3342\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock.png\" alt=\"Chrome will display a green padlock in the link bar when a site is using HTTPS, assuring users it\'s using the latest security protocol.\" width=\"501\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock.png 1138w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-300x130.png 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-768x333.png 768w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-1024x444.png 1024w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-577x250.png 577w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-100x43.png 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-150x65.png 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-200x87.png 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-450x195.png 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-600x260.png 600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-green-padlock-900x390.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chrome will display a green padlock in the link bar when a site is using HTTPS, assuring users it&#8217;s using the latest security protocol.</p></div>\n<p>In January of this year, Google released version 56 of Google Chrome. This new release brought about some changes, notably with how Google Chrome treats HTTPS vs. HTTP sites. The browser now clearly identifies sites that are not operating HTTPS on their systems. For example, <strong>a “Not Secureâ€� message now appears on pages without HTTPS that try to collect passwords or sensitive information</strong>. You can expect that, eventually, all pages not using HTTPS will clearly be labeled as having insecure connections.</p>\n<p>We can reasonably assume that Google’s preference for HTTPS has been a contributing factor for the changes implemented by WordPress.</p>\n<h3>Users Prefer HTTPS Too</h3>\n<p>A secure connection can make all the difference from a user&#8217;s perspective. Users see HTTPS as a positive signal that you are taking your site security seriously, for their benefit. So, having <strong>HTTPS could mean more traffic and longer usage times</strong> on your site.</p>\n<p>HTTPS is particularly important if you are operating an e-commerce site. Simply seeing the padlock icon could make users more comfortable in entering their payment details and other personal information. Particularly with the new Chrome update (mentioned earlier) which shows a “Not Secureâ€� label on e-commerce sites or sites that require a user login or credit card information, but don’t have HTTPS.</p>\n<p>Both Google and user preference should be enough reason for you to upgrade your site to HTTPS. It is simply necessary to ensure watertight security for your users and to protect your online business reputation.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3343\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\" wp-image-3343\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure.png\" alt=\"Sites that require users to login or enter credit card information are now displayed as &quot;Not secure&quot; in Chrome when they haven\'t switched to HTTPS yet.\" width=\"500\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure.png 1600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-300x118.png 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-768x301.png 768w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-1024x401.png 1024w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-638x250.png 638w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-100x39.png 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-150x59.png 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-200x78.png 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-450x176.png 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-600x235.png 600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/https-not-secure-900x353.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sites that require users to login or enter credit card information are now displayed as &#8220;Not secure&#8221; in Chrome when they haven&#8217;t switched to HTTPS yet.</p></div>\n<p>Remember when JavaScript was first introduced and quickly embraced by users and webmasters? Looking back, we can see now that JavaScript was essential for smoother and better user experience. HTTPS similarly, presents a number of unique advantages for user experience and security that we should all quickly embrace.</p>\n<p>We know that you may be overwhelmed switching from HTTP to HTTPS. After all, change does takes time to get used to, but in this instance, you may need to quickly get on board. At this point, <strong>the advantages of HTTPS have greatly outnumbered the disadvantages</strong>. Plus, upgrading to HTTPS is no longer the costly, time consuming, and difficult process that it once was. In fact, getting an SSL certificate in 2017 is fast, sometimes free, and quite easy to implement.</p>\n<h2>How to Get HTTPS</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/hosting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WordPress hosting partners</a> should now provide an SSL certificate for all accounts. (It is required that they all do so as early as the first quarter of this year.)</p>\n<p>Your hosting provider may already provide a free SSL certificate, so check with them first before you make any third-party purchase. If they do not offer a free one, you could ask them if they sell third party SSL certificates. Once purchased, you can ask your provider to install the certificate for you on your server.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3344\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\" wp-image-3344\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors.png\" alt=\"Dozens of major companies are already backing Lets Encrypt, including Automattic (known for WooCommerce, Jetpack, Akismet and WordPress.com)\" width=\"500\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors.png 546w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors-300x237.png 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors-317x250.png 317w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors-100x79.png 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors-150x118.png 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors-200x158.png 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/lets-encrypt-sponsors-450x355.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dozens of major companies are already backing Lets Encrypt, including Automattic (known for WooCommerce, Akismet and WordPress.com)</p></div>\n<p>Another option is to explore the free alternatives, independent of your hosting provider. There are projects such as “Let’s Encryptâ€� which have now made it easy and quick to <a href=\"https://letsencrypt.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secure a free HTTPS certificate for your website</a>.</p>\n<p>Let’s Encrypt is an authorized open Certificate Authority with millions of active certificates in place. There are other comparable projects out there that can help by guiding you step-by-step through the installation process or who have been authorized to deliver certificates.</p>\n<p>Remember that SSL certificates upgrade the website, but not the content itself. That means that the content on your page will also need to be updated so as to avoid 404 errors. Google may interpret the error as a mismatch in the security level of your site. The only way to avoid this is by encrypting the content of your website to match your SSL certificate.</p>\n<p>To track and resolve any 404 errors on your site, you may want to use a specialised plugin such as Redirection to do so.</p>\n<h2>What if You Just Don’t Want to Upgrade to HTTPS?</h2>\n<p>You could see a number of things happening to your site over time if you do not upgrade to HTTPS. The first may be facing the consequences set out by Google, i.e: <strong>lower rankings </strong>and having your users staring at a “Not Secureâ€� warning when they try to access your site via Google Chrome.</p>\n<p>The second is that you could <strong>struggle with WordPress updates and lose some or all functionality</strong> on specific WordPress plugins.</p>\n<p>Third, your site may be <strong>an easier target for hacking</strong>.</p>\n<p>Those are three consequences that require you to seriously reconsider if you really want to take the risk of not upgrading to HTTPS.</p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up</h2>\n<p>Let’s put it this way: you will simply have nothing to lose by adopting HTTPS.

But a lot of businesses find it intimidating and challenging to use. If you’re one of those businesses, this article is for you.</p>\n<p>Although GA can be quite overwhelming, getting useful data to work with is not as difficult as you think it is. Understanding how to get some basic information from the platform can give you pretty good insight into how your website is working for your business.</p>\n<p>This article will give you a basic understanding of the four key sections that contain actionable data:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. Audience<br />\n2. Behavior<br />\n3. Acquisition<br />\n4. Conversions</p>\n<p>Let’s get started.</p>\n<h2><strong>An Introduction to Google Analytics</strong></h2>\n<p>You probably have a Google Analytics account and most likely have it connected to your website. If you don’t, and you’re thinking of signing up, <a href=\"https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008015?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">use this guide on how to get started</a>. Once you’re up and running, you’ll have to wait a few days to get data to analyze.</p>\n<p>The first thing you’ll notice when you open the platform is GA’s (somewhat confusing) layout and menu system. It uses a top navigation for account level features and information; and a side navigation for combing through your analytics data.</p>\n<p>The Reporting section’s side navigation (which is where you can view your web analytics) is broken down into the following sections:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Real-Time:</strong> Shows what is happening on your site right now. So you’ll see the current visitor count on your website, what pages they’re browsing and for how long</li>\n<li><strong>Audience:</strong> Gives detailed information about your website visitors</li>\n<li><strong>Acquisition:</strong> Shows how your visitors are arriving to your site. It gives you a breakdown (by channel) of how visitors are getting to your site</li>\n<li><strong>Behavior:</strong> Shows you how visitors are interacting with your site</li>\n<li><strong>Conversions:</strong> Provides conversion data for your various business goals and activities</li>\n</ul>\n<p>As you can see, Audience, Acquisition, Behavior and Conversions tabs contain the <strong>actionable data you can use to optimize your site and grow your business.</strong></p>\n<p>So let’s help you get a basic understanding of those tabs.</p>\n<h2><strong>Audience</strong></h2>\n<p>To view your audience insights, click on Audience &gt; Overview on the left hand menu of the analytics dashboard.</p>\n<p>As you will see from the Audience Overview data, Google Analytics gives you detailed insights into your audience: from location, to page views to device type to language and more.</p>\n<p>This information is invaluable in allowing you to tailor your site<strong> to better suit the needs of your visitors and effectively grant them an easier viewing experience</strong>.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3405\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section.jpg 1621w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-300x128.jpg 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-768x327.jpg 768w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-587x250.jpg 587w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-100x43.jpg 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-150x64.jpg 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-200x85.jpg 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-450x192.jpg 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-600x255.jpg 600w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/google-analytics-audience-section-900x383.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" /></a></p>\n<p>There is however some terminology you first need to understand in order to accurately analyze your Audience data:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>Session</strong> refers to a single fixed period of time that a visitor takes action(s) on your site. So if a visitor views 3 pages on your site over a 3-minute period and then exits your site, it’ll be recorded as a single session and three pageviews</li>\n<li>As you may have gleaned from above, a <strong>Pageview</strong> is recorded whenever a visitor views a page on your site</li>\n<li>A <strong>New Visitor</strong> is any user that is visiting your site for the first time. They will be classified as a <strong>Returning Visitor</strong> on their second and subsequent visits</li>\n<li>A <strong>User</strong> is any computer or device that Google classifies as a unique visitor in accessing your site.

It records the following traffic channels: organic (search and direct), paid, referral, email and social. It also gives you important insights into the performance of your marketing campaigns.</p>\n<p>What you should really be looking at within the Acquisition section is Goals. Goals are what you hope visitors accomplish when or after using your site. They are summarized in the Overview of this section but aren’t presented or broken down in detail. That’s where the Conversions section comes in.</p>\n<h2><strong>Conversions</strong></h2>\n<p>Conversion tracking is arguably the most important functionality in Google Analytics. After all, the ultimate goal of any web analytics software/tool is <strong>to help you determine and increase the success of your website and business</strong>.</p>\n<p>To make the most out of Google Analytics, you need to understand and identify your key performance indicators (KPIs) and set them up as Goals. Goals could range from video views, newsletter signups, purchases and more.</p>\n<p>Carefully think about how you measure the success of your business before setting up your Goals in GA. An accurate setup will enable you to more effectively analyze your website traffic data.</p>\n<h2>Using All in One SEO Pack with Google Analytics</h2>\n<p>By now you should have already discovered that Google Analytics is a great tool to track your visitors behaviour.

From BBS (Bulletin Board) to Friendster, Diaspora, Myspace and onto Facebook. But when we think of social media today, we arguably only have 3 or 4 large networks in mind: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.</p>\n<p>Nowadays, those four platforms have become essential to every marketer’s strategy and are used to effectively get your brand in front of your target audience; but do they <em>directly</em> impact your SEO and search ranking? No, they currently do not.</p>\n<p>However, that doesn&#8217;t mean that social media marketing and SEO do not affect each other in a variety of different ways. They are both inbound strategies that aim to attract your audience or customers to your brand. They are also both organic ways to attract your audience with unique quality content.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the best way to describe the relationship between SEO and social media is to say that they are co-dependent. Effective social media campaigns will help improve your site ranking, and good SEO will inevitably boost your social clout. This is what we refer to as social SEO: <strong>the use of social media to boost your search engine rankings</strong>.</p>\n<p>This post will demystify the relationship between social media and SEO; and show you how you can make social SEO work for your WordPress site.</p>\n<h2>How Important is Social SEO?</h2>\n<p>You can certainly rank your website well without focusing much on social SEO. You can’t, however, rank your website by focusing solely on social SEO. But that shouldn’t make you dismiss the whole idea too soon.</p>\n<p>An active and strong social media presence makes it easier and faster to rank your site as search engines attribute <strong>authority</strong> based on tweets, shares, likes and Google +1s. Your social media presence also puts your content in front of a larger audience, some of whom will link your content on their own sites, creating valuable organic <strong>backlinks</strong> which contribute to your PageRank.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3276\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-3276\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/social-media-marketing-graph.png\" alt=\"According to a recent study, Social Media Marketing even surpassed the impact of regular SEO in 2016, considering that market is already rather saturated.

Even though they have nothing on backlinks – and probably won’t, at least not in the near future – <strong>social links</strong> are still quite important. But <em>how much</em> effect or weight do they have on your rankings, particularly your ranking for target keywords?</p>\n<p>Well, search engines have not yet made that information public. We just have to work with the definitive information that social signals do (indirectly) impact your site rankings and will continue to do so.</p>\n<h2>When Should I Focus on Social SEO?</h2>\n<p>If you are in an industry where your competitors are heavily focusing on both SEO and social SEO, and you want to rank well for your industry keywords, you have no other option but to do the same. Backlinks coupled with social signals will boost your rankings much more than backlinks alone, so you will lag behind your competition if you are only focused on building the latter. And if they aren’t focused on social SEO, <strong>you should jump on the opportunity to get one step ahead of your competitors</strong>.</p>\n<p>Although social media does not directly impact your site rankings on Google, social networks are dominating the internet and will arguably dictate the future of the internet. You should invest properly in social media as it could soon <em>directly</em> impact your site’s rankings on search engines.</p>\n<h2>How to Effectively Implement Social SEO</h2>\n<p>How can you increase your site rankings with good social SEO? Here are a few summarized tips:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a business page on the “mainâ€� social networks: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.</li>\n<li>Be active on those channels and engage your followers and subscribers</li>\n<li>Create shareable, engaging and unique content</li>\n<li>Make it as easy as possible for people to share your content</li>\n<li>Share your content, and that of other influencers in your field on your social channels</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>The more active you are on social media, the more awareness you are bringing to your brand</strong>, the more your social following grows, and the higher the chance that your content is being shared across a broader network. It’s a snowball effect: the more followers you have, the more engagement you’ll get and the easier it will become to grow your community.</p>\n<p>A bigger community means that more people are viewing your content and the higher the chance that the content will be shared. This increases the number of backlinks to your site which will impact your search rankings for the better.</p>\n<p>Also, the more engagement you have on your social channels, the higher the chance that people will look for your brand on Google or other search engines via branded searches – which help your site rank for non-branded keywords that are relevant to your brand.</p>\n<p>You do have to consider that <strong>the above scenarios are based on the assumption that you are producing quality and unique content</strong>. If you are creating bad content, you won’t get anywhere. Users will not interact with your brand if you’re not offering them value or good entertainment. If you want your content shared and widely distributed, you need to put in the time to create quality and valuable content your audience will enjoy.</p>\n<p>In summary, the following social signals will increase your search engine rankings for the keywords you’re targeting:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your social network followers</li>\n<li>The likes, shares, retweets, Google +1s your website gets</li>\n<li>Mentions by other authority or influencers in your field</li>\n<li>Positive reviews on your business’ Google+ page</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Using All in One SEO Pack for Social Meta</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/all-in-one-seo-pack-pro-version/?loc=sp_navmenu\">Our All in One SEO Pack plugin comes with a Social Meta module</a> to help you get going with social marketing. This feature allows you to add Open Graph meta tags to enrich your posts by creating a rich snippet. Let’s briefly go over how Open Graph meta tags work and how they specifically help you with social SEO.</p>\n<p>Basically, every web page on any site can be shared on social media channels. However, the way that shared page is displayed on social media may be very different. Websites that aren’t optimized with Open Graph meta tags won’t be as easily interpreted by Facebook, Twitter and the like and will, most of the time, show up as a blank link with a small description underneath.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3278\" style=\"width: 516px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3278\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/rich-social-snippet.png\" alt=\"Would you be more inclined to click on a blank link or on a rich snippet such as this?\" width=\"506\" height=\"495\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Would you be more inclined to click on a blank link or on a rich snippet such as this?</p></div>\n<p>However, adding Open Graph meta tags to a page on your site enriches the snippet and enables Facebook and other social media networks to display your content in the way you want to present it when it is shared. This is where All in One SEO Pack comes into action. For a full overview of all Open Graph and social meta features, please visit our <a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/documentation/social-meta-module/\">documentation section</a>.</p>\n<p>There is no concrete evidence that Open Graph meta tags are important for search engines, but they do enable you to create presentable good looking posts on social media (instead of a bland-looking post). This significantly increases your organic traffic from social media to your WordPress site. Studies have shown that <strong>traffic increases 100%-200% if a post looks great</strong> vs. a blank link that doesn’t really mean much to social media users.</p>\n<h2>Wrapping It Up</h2>\n<p>Overall, a solid social media strategy, in conjunction with good SEO practices, will increase organic traffic to your site. Solely focusing on SEO may not cut it any longer if you want to be a step ahead of your competition.

We all have at some point. After all, pageviews equals more ad revenue…right? Well, having a good email list is more valuable and can bring in more pageviews than you get using traditional methods.</p>\n<p>So how do you build an email list in WordPress?</p>\n<p>You always hear the same advice: create great content and people will subscribe, or have an opt-in form on your blog. Those methods are tried and tested but there are other more creative and effective ways to implement them and speed up the growth of your email list.</p>\n<p>We’re talking content upgrades, high-value opt-in forms and social proof.</p>\n<p>Let’s first start off with the basics before we dive into those three methods and how to effectively employ them.</p>\n<h2>The Basics</h2>\n<h3>What is an Email List?</h3>\n<p>An email list is a list of email addresses of your existing and prospective customers who have signed up or subscribed via your WordPress site to get updates, newsletters, special offers or announcements.</p>\n<h3>Why You Should Build an Email List</h3>\n<p>Email consistently outperforms social media across the board. It gets a higher view rate than Facebook or Twitter; 50-100 times the click rates of Facebook or Twitter; and is more cost-effective than any other marketing and social channel. Why? Because email is more intimate and private.</p>\n<p>If those stats haven’t convinced you yet, here are three other really good reasons:</p>\n<p><strong>#1.</strong> Your emails are guaranteed to reach the inboxes of each and every one of the active contacts on your email list. The email stays in their inbox until they take an action. Compare that to Facebook or Twitter, where your statuses and posts may not be seen by your followers because of algorithms and the inherent nature of those social networks. Bottom line: people check their emails more thoroughly than they do their social timelines</p>\n<p><strong>#2.</strong> Email is more secure and more flexible. You own your email list. You however, have very limited control and no ownership of your Twitter and Facebook account data. Furthermore, your social accounts could get hacked or suspended for whatever reason; or the platform could cease to exist or become less popular (think Myspace) etc. Whereas you own your email list and can communicate with your customers and prospects on your own terms.</p>\n<p><strong>#3.</strong> Email has more specific targeting. You can send information or announcements on product specific or geo-specific services to specific contacts that match some particular criteria.</p>\n<p>That’s not to say that you should neglect your social networks. Social is great for user engagement so don’t give up on social just yet. Email will just bring you more visitors and conversions.</p>\n<p>So how can you get started today?</p>\n<p>Well, there are quite a few WordPress email marketing plugins at your disposal. Most of them require you to use them in conjunction with email marketing service providers and only help you to create signup forms on your site. They don’t go much further than that. A few however do. <a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/subscribe2-html/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One of those is Subscribe2 HTML</a>.</p>\n<h2>Subscribe2 HTML</h2>\n<p>Subscribe2HTML plugin is arguably one of the most comprehensive and reliable email marketing plugins for WordPress. It gives you the option of sending emails on a per-post basis or periodically in a newsletter format.</p>\n<p>It manages your email lists in a straightforward way. For example, you don’t need to log in to compose an email every time before sending one. This comes in handy when you need to send out timely post updates – a great feature for high traffic blogs.</p>\n<p>There are two subscription options for Subscribe2 HTML: Registered Subscribers and Public Subscribers. Registered Subscribers are users who have subscribed to your blog and are consequently required to log-in to your site to manage their subscriptions. They can opt to receive either plain text or HTML emails. You can send them post notifications by category; and they can choose whether they want just the excerpt or the full post. (If they don’t make a choice, they will get the full post when they select the plain text option).</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3261\" style=\"width: 391px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\" wp-image-3261\" src=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2.png\" alt=\"Suscribe2HTML is full of features and can be configured in any way you like.\" width=\"381\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2.png 610w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-248x300.png 248w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-206x250.png 206w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-100x121.png 100w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-150x182.png 150w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-200x242.png 200w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-300x363.png 300w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-450x545.png 450w, https://semperplugins.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/subscribe2-600x727.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Suscribe2HTML is full of features and can be configured in any way you like.</p></div>\n<p>Public Subscribers can sign up through an online form. However, their subscription only starts when they confirm the subscription request via email. They do not get to choose between an excerpt or plain text version of an email.</p>\n<p>As an admin, you can subscribe or unsubscribe users and send emails to all verified subscribers. You also have a selection of email templates to choose from.</p>\n<p>There are additional options and settings available, like choosing the frequency of your emails and the time of day to send them. The plugin is all about automation to save you valuable time.</p>\n<h2>3 Effective strategies to Grow Your Email List</h2>\n<h3>Content</h3>\n<p>Consistently creating great content is the advice you always hear and read about when looking for ways to increase traffic to your blog and to grow your email list. That’s all good and true, but have you heard of a content upgrade? It’s a simple and highly effective strategy to grow your email list.</p>\n<p>How it works:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Write an engaging blog post.</li>\n<li>Create a more in-depth version of the post.</li>\n<li>Give readers the option to read the upgraded content in return for their email address.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>This strategy works on the basis that your readers are already interested in the blog post since they clicked on it. So, a content upgrade plays on that interest by offering more. It’s simple, straightforward and highly effective.</p>\n<h3>Opt-In Forms</h3>\n<p>Like you’ve heard over and over again (and seen on many high-traffic sites), opt-in forms are the way to go when growing your email list. It’s worth mentioning again in this post. Whether you’re offering an eBook, white paper or free software, opt-in forms will increase your email subscriptions.</p>\n<p>The key is not to offer as many incentives as you can. The most efficient strategy is to pick a high-value incentive and place it in appropriate areas of your site (the sidebar, pop-ups, blog post, footer, etc.). This strategy is especially great for small businesses that don’t have the time or the manpower to produce upgraded content for every blog post.</p>\n<h3>Social Proof</h3>\n<p>A majority of online users rely on ratings, popularity and reviews in making purchasing decisions. Social proof is very important and shouldn’t be underestimated.</p>\n<p>That being said, you should focus on your numbers. Add up all your followers and subscribers on all channels and put the total out there. The bigger the number, the more impressive.</p>\n<p>In fact, various research studies have shown that social proof has more impact on behavior than financial, environmental and personal incentives.</p>\n<p>Would you also like to be included in our email list?

Have you been complaining about it since time immemorial? Well, then your WordPress site might be as bloated as you were after that marvelous Thanksgiving dinner at your mom’s. If your site has been live for a while now, <strong>chances are that its database has acquired quite a bit of garbage and is demanding a spring clean</strong>.</p>\n<p>The trick to maintaining a database is to clean it regularly to prevent the accumulation of unnecessary data. However, we are guessing that you have been skimping on the cleaning bit, which is why you are here today. Therefore, without wasting time, we will tell you how to clean up that database in a few easy steps.</p>\n<h2><strong>#1. Basic Ground Rules</strong></h2>\n<p>Before you take on the massive task of spring-cleaning, you must ensure that your valuables are safe and sound. Losing a single system file can mess up your website entirely and can cause you to lose thousands of dollars in revenue.</p>\n<p>So start by creating copies of important files and create a backup of your entire website. You should definitely<a href=\"https://ithemes.com/purchase/backupbuddy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> check out Backupbuddy from our friends at iThemes</a>. It&#8217;s a great plugin that allows you to schedule automatic full or database-only backups, and we highly recommend it.</p>\n<h2><strong>#2. Screen Through the Clutter</strong></h2>\n<p>Do you remember how yard sales used to work before Craigslist and eBay came along? Just like separating the valuables from trash, you need to pick out the plugins you use and the ones you don’t.</p>\n<p>You can easily get started by going through your complete list of plugins in your WordPress dashboard. Go to your admin panel and click on Plugins. Next, go to Installed Plugins and click on Inactive at the top of the screen.</p>\n<p>Eliminating unused plugins should easily free up a couple of bytes and is the first step towards cleaning up your WordPress database.</p>\n<h2><strong>#3. Time For a Purge </strong></h2>\n<p>This might sound very ominous (esp. to the ones familiar with the popular movie franchise), but it is the best way to free up space. After deleting all unused plugins you should start cleaning out post data.</p>\n<p>If you have been using WordPress from a while, you might not be as surprised to know that all your post data is being stored in your website database. You can find it all in the wp_postmeta table, and you can run this query to get rid of all superfluous data:</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = &#8216;your-meta-key</p></blockquote>\n<p>Always remember to replace the last part with the value that has to be cleared out.</p>\n<h2>#4. <strong>Take Care of Spam</strong></h2>\n<p>Spam is no longer restricted to your inbox. If you look through your database carefully, you will find tons of spam comments as well. These include promotional features and unscrupulous backlinks that other sites use to eat their way into your SEO. Monitoring comments is an essential practice that is currently underrated.</p>\n<p>The easiest way to manage spam comments on your site is to execute this query:</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = &#8216;spam&#8217;;</p></blockquote>\n<p>If you are currently <a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/wordpress-multisite/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">using a multi-site installation of WordPress</a>, you may like to try the following query:</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_#_comments WHERE comment_approved = &#8216;spam&#8217;;</p></blockquote>\n<h2>#5. <strong>What About Comments Waiting on Moderation?</strong></h2>\n<p>As a WordPress website/blog admin, you have the power to delete all comments that are awaiting moderation. This eliminates the need of unnecessarily going through each and every spam comment that you haven’t yet moderated.</p>\n<p>Just a word of advice: go through the list once to approve all genuine comments before running this query:</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = &#8216;0&#8217;;</p></blockquote>\n<h2><strong>#6. Taking Care of Unused Tags</strong></h2>\n<p>This has happened to almost all of us. When we were new at blogging, we created a few hundred tags thinking we would use them from time to time. And now that we post regularly, we hardly ever change tags. We use the most common ones and stick to those.</p>\n<p>Don’t be surprised if you have completely forgotten about a score of tags that you exist on your website database (thanks to your wild imaginative powers). Fortunately, we have a query that will take care of all unused tags, but be sure to check the ones that you do use before running this query:</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_terms wt<br />\nINNER JOIN wp_term taxonomy wtt ON wt.term_id = wtt.term_id WHERE wtt.taxonomy = &#8216;post_tag&#8217; and wtt.count = 0;</p></blockquote>\n<p>Check out some of our earlier posts if you are unsure about <a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/categories-and-tags/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the differences between categories &amp; tags and how to use them</a>.</p>\n<h2>#7. <strong>Bid Farewell to Pingbacks</strong></h2>\n<p>If you are currently using a setting that has turned off the option of accepting pingbacks, then you may want to use the following code. This will remove every pingback ever made to your website from your database.</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_type = &#8216;pingback&#8217;;</p></blockquote>\n<p>Again, if you are currently <a href=\"https://semperplugins.com/wordpress-multisite/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">using a multisite installation</a>, you may try using the next one. just remember to replace # with your current site id.</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_#_comments WHERE comment_type = &#8216;pingback&#8217;;</p></blockquote>\n<h2><strong>#8. No more Post Revisions</strong></h2>\n<p>Post revisions are indeed necessary for blogs, but once you see the space they take up on your database, you won’t think twice about bidding them farewell. They grow fast and exponentially. You can clear them out at one go using the next query:</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE a, b, c FROM wp_posts a LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)<br />\nLEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id) WHERE a.post_type = &#8216;revision&#8217;</p></blockquote>\n<p>You can even chose to disable all post revisions for your website using the following SQL code:</p>\n<blockquote><p>define(&#8216;WP_POST_REVISIONS&#8217;), false);</p></blockquote>\n<h2>#9. Getting Rid of Trackbacks</h2>\n<p>Your final step should be getting rid of all old trackbacks. To make sure that nothing goes wrong, double check so that all your pingbacks and trackbacks have been disabled before trying the next SQL code:</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_type = &#8216;trackback&#8217;;</p></blockquote>\n<p>For multisite users, the next query should be more profitable. You can use this one to clean out all your trackbacks at one go. Like previous ones, replace # with your current site ID to remove all of your site&#8217;s trackbacks.</p>\n<blockquote><p>DELETE FROM wp_#_comments WHERE comment_type = &#8216;trackback&#8217;;</p></blockquote>\n<p>Besides these, you can also scrap your old posts once your audience has fallen out of love with them. This might be difficult at first, but many old posts are nothing but unwarranted burden for WordPress databases.</p>\n<p>If you are new and quite lost with the new set of codes, queries and rules we were talking about right here, leave your maintenance <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-optimize/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">to seasoned plugins like Optimize</a>. They work great with multisite installations as well, and include extensive options for managing and removing unused tables.</p>\n<p>This article has been written by Derek Iwasiuk from <a href=\"https://engagethecrowd.com/minneapolis-seo-services/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.engagethecrowd.com</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:68:\"https://semperplugins.com/how-to-clean-your-wordpress-database/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2:\"18\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";a:1:{s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:0:\"\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:3:{s:4:\"href\";s:31:\"https://semperplugins.com/feed/\";s:3:\"rel\";s:4:\"self\";s:4:\"type\";s:19:\"application/rss+xml\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";a:2:{s:12:\"updatePeriod\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"hourly\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:15:\"updateFrequency\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"1\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";O:42:\"Requests_Utility_CaseInsensitiveDictionary\":1:{s:7:\"\0*\0data\";a:18:{s:6:\"server\";s:5:\"nginx\";s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Fri, 29 Dec 2017 13:05:36 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:34:\"application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8\";s:14:\"content-length\";s:5:\"31632\";s:7:\"expires\";s:29:\"Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT\";s:13:\"cache-control\";s:35:\"no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate\";s:6:\"pragma\";s:8:\"no-cache\";s:3:\"p3p\";s:69:\"CP=\"IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT\"\";s:12:\"x-robots-tag\";s:15:\"noindex, follow\";s:4:\"link\";s:62:\"<https://semperplugins.com/wp-json/>; rel=\"https://api.w.org/\"\";s:17:\"x-tec-api-version\";s:2:\"v1\";s:14:\"x-tec-api-root\";s:50:\"https://semperplugins.com/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/\";s:16:\"x-tec-api-origin\";s:25:\"https://semperplugins.com\";s:10:\"set-cookie\";a:6:{i:0;s:44:\"PHPSESSID=4ifk5qt20abj075nede1323dq1; path=/\";i:1;s:120:\"wpml_referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsemperplugins.com%2Ffeed%2F; expires=Sat, 30-Dec-2017 13:05:35 GMT; Max-Age=86400; path=/\";i:2;s:86:\"_icl_current_language=en; expires=Sat, 30-Dec-2017 13:05:35 GMT; Max-Age=86400; path=/\";i:3;s:70:\"Cart66DBSID=CQ1QKMEQK653301TMALN7UC9EMP244OQP9BH51BY; path=/; HttpOnly\";i:4;s:107:\"wfvt_986099475=5a463d9fd43ed; expires=Fri, 29-Dec-2017 13:35:35 GMT; Max-Age=1800; path=/; secure; HttpOnly\";i:5;s:86:\"_icl_current_language=en; expires=Sat, 30-Dec-2017 13:05:35 GMT; Max-Age=86400; path=/\";}s:13:\"last-modified\";s:29:\"Wed, 13 Dec 2017 22:31:45 GMT\";s:4:\"etag\";s:39:\"\"304e616522108bb3ea343252a839fed8-gzip\"\";s:4:\"vary\";s:15:\"Accept-Encoding\";s:16:\"content-encoding\";s:4:\"gzip\";}}s:5:\"build\";s:14:\"20131108230620\";}', 'no');

New features in 4.9 will smooth your design workflow and keep you safe from coding errors.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Featuring design drafts, scheduling, and locking, along with preview links, the Customizer workflow improves collaboration for content creators. What’s more, code syntax highlighting and error checking will make for a clean and smooth site building experience. Finally, if all that wasn’t pretty great, we’ve got an awesome new Gallery widget and improvements to theme browsing and switching.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\">Customizer Workflow Improved </h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/11/customizer-workflow-improved-small.png?w=632&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Draft and Schedule Site Design Customizations</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, you read that right. Just like you can draft and revise posts and schedule them to go live on the date and time you choose, you can now tinker with your site’s design and schedule those design changes to go live as you please.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Collaborate with Design Preview Links</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Need to get some feedback on proposed site design changes? WordPress 4.9 gives you a preview link you can send to colleagues and customers so that you can collect and integrate feedback before you schedule the changes to go live. Can we say collaboration++?</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Design Locking Guards Your Changes</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ever encounter a scenario where two designers walk into a project and designer A overrides designer B’s beautiful changes? WordPress 4.9’s design lock feature (similar to post locking) secures your draft design so that no one can make changes to it or erase all your hard work.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>A Prompt to Protect Your Work</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Were you lured away from your desk before you saved your new draft design? Fear not, when you return, WordPress 4.9 will politely ask whether or not you’d like to save your unsaved changes.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\">Coding Enhancements</h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https://i2.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/11/coding-enhancements-small.png?w=632&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Syntax Highlighting and Error Checking? Yes, Please!</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You’ve got a display problem but can’t quite figure out exactly what went wrong in the CSS you lovingly wrote. With syntax highlighting and error checking for CSS editing and the Custom HTML widget introduced in WordPress 4.8.1, you’ll pinpoint coding errors quickly. Practically guaranteed to help you scan code more easily, and suss out &amp; fix code errors quickly.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Sandbox for Safety</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The dreaded white screen. You’ll avoid it when working on themes and plugin code because WordPress 4.9 will warn you about saving an error. You’ll sleep better at night.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Warning: Potential Danger Ahead!</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you edit themes and plugins directly, WordPress 4.9 will politely warn you that this is a dangerous practice and will recommend that you draft and test changes before updating your file. Take the safe route: You’ll thank you. Your team and customers will thank you.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\">Even More Widget Updates </h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https://i1.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2017/11/even-more-widget-updates-small.png?w=632&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" /></figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>The New Gallery Widget</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An incremental improvement to the media changes hatched in WordPress 4.8, you can now add a gallery via this new widget.

Improvements in WordPress 4.9 offer more persistent menu and widget placement when you decide it’s time for a new theme. </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Find and Preview the Perfect Theme</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Looking for a new theme for your site? Now, from within the Customizer, you can search, browse, and preview over 2600 themes before deploying changes to your site. What’s more, you can speed your search with filters for subject, features, and layout.</p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Better Menu Instructions = Less Confusion</h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Were you confused by the steps to create a new menu? Perhaps no longer! We’ve ironed out the UX for a smoother menu creation process.

This year is no exception, as <a href=\"https://wordpressdotorg.polldaddy.com/s/wordpress-2017-survey\">the 2017 WordPress User Survey</a> is out now.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information collected in the survey is used to make informed decisions about improvements across the WordPress project, so your answers are incredibly valuable and help shape the future of the platform.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>WordPress 4.8.3 Security Release</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of October, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/10/wordpress-4-8-3-security-release/\">WordPress 4.8.3 was released</a> containing an important security fix for all previous versions of WordPress. If your WordPress installation has not updated automatically, please update it now to protect your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This security issue was brought to light by a community member, so if you ever discover a security vulnerability in WordPress core, please do the same and <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/reporting-security-vulnerabilities/\">disclose it responsibly</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>WordPress 4.9 Nearly Ready for Release</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress 4.9 was in rapid development this month. We released four beta versions and published a <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/10/wordpress-4-9-release-candidate/\">release candidate</a>. The target for shipping WordPress 4.9 is November 14 — just two short weeks away. With many new features, this is a hugely exciting release that improves WordPress’ user experience considerably. Notably, you’ll see <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/24/a-new-themes-experience-in-the-customizer/\">improvements to the theme selection experience</a>, plenty of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/24/widget-improvements-in-wordpress-4-9/\">widget enhancements</a>, drastically improved <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/22/code-editing-improvements-in-wordpress-4-9/\">code editing</a>, and much better <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/15/improvements-for-roles-and-capabilities-in-4-9/\">user role management</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get involved in building WordPress Core, jump into the #core channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>, and follow <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\">the Core team blog</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>WordPress Charity Hackathons are Growing</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the last few years, the number of <a href=\"https://doaction.org/\">do_action series of WordPress charity hackathons</a> has grown around the world. What started as a community event to assist local nonprofit organizations, has become something many WordPress communities are replicating in an increasing number of cities.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this month, do_action events have been hosted in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa, Beirut, Lebanon, Austin, Texas, and Montréal, Canada. In addition, events are now scheduled for <a href=\"https://doaction.org/event/bristol-2018/\">Bristol, England</a> and <a href=\"https://doaction.org/event/zurich-2018/\">Zurich, Switzerland</a> in 2018.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get involved in organizing a do_action event locally, read <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/event-formats/do_action-charity-hackathon/\">the do_action organizer’s handbook</a> and join the #community-events channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Gutenberg Development Advances</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While work steadily continues on Gutenberg — the new editor for WordPress core — one update from this month addresses one of the primary concerns that some people shared about the project.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up until <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/24/whats-new-in-gutenberg-24th-october/\">the release on October 24</a>, Gutenberg did not support the meta boxes that so many WordPress content creators rely on. The new editor now has initial support for meta boxes as well as a host of other critical features for content creation in WordPress.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/test/handbook/call-for-testing/gutenberg-testing/\">Test out Gutenberg</a> right now and help develop it by joining the #core-editor channel in the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/chat/\">Making WordPress Slack group</a> and following the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/\">Core team blog</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" />\n\n\n\n<h2>Further Reading:</h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n    <li>DonateWC, a new initiative that assists people in attending WordCamps, <a href=\"https://donatewc.org/wordcamp-stories/wordcamp-cape-town-experience/\">sponsored Trust Nhokovedzo from Harare, Zimbabwe</a> to speak at WordCamp Cape Town, South Africa this month.</li>\n    <li><a href=\"https://woocommerce.com/2017/10/saying-goodbye-to-canvas/\">The popular Canvas theme was retired</a> this month to allow WooCommerce to focus on moving their products forward more effectively.</li>\n    <li>The next installment of Camp Press, the WordPress community retreat event, will take place <a href=\"https://camp.press/event/iceland2018/\">in Iceland</a>.</li>\n    <li>If you run a WordPress meetup group, but are struggling to find content for your events, the WordPress Marketing team <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2017/10/04/supporting-for-meetups-with-low-content/\">has put together some ideas</a> to help.</li>\n    <li><a href=\"https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp US 2017</a> is just around the corner — there’s still time to grab your tickets.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you have a story we should consider including in the next “Month in WordPressâ€� post, please <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/month-in-wordpress-submissions/\">submit it here</a>.</em></p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:30:\"com-wordpress:feed-additions:1\";a:1:{s:7:\"post-id\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"5044\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n		\n		\n\n		\n		\n				\n			\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:4:{s:0:\"\";a:6:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"WordPress 4.8.3 Security Release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:68:\"https://wordpress.org/news/2017/10/wordpress-4-8-3-security-release/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 31 Oct 2017 14:20:16 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:3:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Releases\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Security\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3:\"4.8\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:34:\"https://wordpress.org/news/?p=5035\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:378:\"WordPress 4.8.3 is now available.

They were told that with this drawback, I would never achieve anything constructive in my life. My parents were a little shocked as they had no clue what was dyslexia and dyscalculia and how to handle the situation. They never gave up on me and believe that I could reach great success in life. They found a tutor for me who was able to train me to do better and gave me the same treatment as other students.</p>\n<p>As a student suffering from dyslexia and dyscalculia, I had an option to skip Maths and opt for an additional subject in  in 8th grade. Computer as an additional subject was introduced to me. It was the first time I was introduced to the world of internet. I started researching what internet has to offer and how it works. Those days email and website were all new and fascinating. My father bought our first desktop so I can do my research at home.</p>\n<blockquote><p>My father wanted to turn my love for the computer into something more constructive to help me in my future.</p></blockquote>\n<p>After 12th standard, my father enrolled me in a short computer course from NIIT to develop new skills and polish my old skills. Once the course was over, my teacher was so impressed with my performance that she advised my father to enroll me in a 3 years Software Development course. This course was carried out in parallel with my regular college. I would become both a graduate and a software developer at the same time. My father happily enrolled me.</p>\n<p>(PS: I was a bit disappointed as I had to juggle 2 courses together during my college days. I thought it would be very difficult to concentrate on both things. BUT to be honest today when I look back, I feel that I enjoyed doing both college and NIIT together.)</p>\n<p>During the 3 year period, I learned different languages like C Sharp, C, C++, Java, and dotNet.</p>\n<p>After I completed my graduation and NIIT course, I was confused which field to select and apply for a job. There was a rule in NIIT, I had to complete 1 year of internship after my course. If due to any circumstance I could not complete, I would not get the certificate. My parents had spent a lot of money on my course and I didn&#8217;t want their hard earned money to go down the drain so I started going for different interviews in the IT field. My father had advised me that if after one year I was not happy with my IT job, I can quit and pursue Banking career.</p>\n<blockquote><p>In 2009 on my birthday to my surprise and good fortune, I passed an interview and joined a company. On the first day, I was introduced to WordPress.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I got an assignment to change the look and feel of WordPress dashboard. This assignment had to be completed within the next 6 hours. I had no clue what WordPress was. I was looking at the whiteboard in front of me and thinking this assignment is not possible to complete within 6 hours. I thought my boss was joking (Bosses generally joke with interns).</p>\n<p>Guess who came to the rescue. GOOGLE. <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.3/72x72/1f642.png\" alt=\"🙂\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /></p>\n<p>I started researching about WordPress on how it works and how to use it. After 2 hours, when I was comfortable using WordPress, I started searching how to change look and feel of WordPress Admin Dashboard. Thankfully, I found a plugin which can change the look and feel of the WordPress Dashboard. I learned how to install and work with it. After trying different combinations of color and style, I finally completed the assignment with 2 hours to spare. My boss was happy.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately after 4 days of working with WordPress, I was shifted to another CMS. I started working with the other CMS for so long that I completely forgot about WordPress. I worked with that particular CMS for 5 years.</p>\n<h3>Coming Back To WordPress</h3>\n<p>After 5 years, my office got an international project in WordPress. My boss told me to lead the project. I was hesitant since I had lost touch with WordPress. But I decided this is a great opportunity to become a team leader and lead from front. I decided to update my WordPress skills. Google GOD came to my rescue again. I updated my skills and also taught my junior team members all about WordPress. My juniors team members who never knew anything about WordPress, started to love and use WordPress frequently after my training. My team completed the project in 2 weeks. This project got me back in WordPress for good.</p>\n<p>As a team leader, one needs to help juniors to solve issues and guide them wherever necessary. I never always had the answer to their problems. I did not have any friends from the WordPress world who I can just talk to and discuss things. All my friends were either in dotNet OR commerce fields. For this reason, I was in look out for some kind group which would help me expand my scope of knowledge in WordPress.</p>\n<h3>Finding the Community</h3>\n<p>In 2015, when I was browsing Facebook, I came across an ad about WordCamp Mumbai. I missed out on the event by 2 days. Somehow I found the meetup website and joined the WordPress Mumbai meetup group.</p>\n<p>At the beginning, I didn’t have time and there wasn’t any topic that interested or motivated me to attend the meetup. It was either clashing with shopping or work or outing with friends or something or the other. Finally, after months I found one interesting topic, and in the comments section, they had mentioned that it will be a beginner level workshop. Finally I decided attend the meetup at any cost. I rescheduled all my plans so I could attend the meetup.</p>\n<p>I remember I was on my way to the meetup and was talking to my best friend on phone. I was a bit nervous as I didn’t know anyone there. I could not find the place for the meetup. I told my friend that I am taking a U-turn and going home. BUT to my disadvantage, I finally found the venue and I decided to attend the meetup. In the first 15 mins of the meetup I realized that it’s not a beginners topics. Once the meetup ended, I got up from my seat and left immediately. I was unhappy with the way it was presented.</p>\n<blockquote><p>After a few months, another great topic was announced in the meetup group. My heart told me to take a chance again.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Thankfully this time I knew the venue (same as last time). I attend the meetup and was happy with the way it was presented and learnt a few important tips. After the meetup was over the speaker took time and spoke to individual attendees. When he come to me, I took the opportunity and asked a couple of issues I had with one of my project. He sweetly gave me tips how to deal with my issues.</p>\n<p>The next day to my surprise I receive a message from the team leader Alexander Gounder. He asked me if I want to speak at a meetup. I politely declined the offer as I was not confident. After this, for a couple of the next meetup, I attended and got to know a few people. During that period, there were talks about WordCamp Mumbai 2016.</p>\n<h3>Taking Part In WordCamp</h3>\n<p>I showed an interest to be a part of the team who handles WordCamp Mumbai. I thought WordCamp was a conference where 100 or more people attend it. On the first day of WordCamp Mumbai, I was surprised to see so many WordCamp enthusiastic attending and enjoying this event.</p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wcmumbai16-group_photo.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2374 size-full\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wcmumbai16-group_photo.jpg\" alt=\"WordCamp Mumbai 2016\" width=\"1000\" height=\"358\" /></a>WordCamp Mumbai 2016\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wcmumbai16-localhost-min.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2382 size-full\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wcmumbai16-localhost-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" /></a>WordCamp Mumbai 2016\n<p>After seeing a successful WordCamp 2016, I try to attend as many meetups as possible.</p>\n<p>I started with an entry-level role with basic responsibilities in my first WordCamp 2016. Gradually I started taking an active part in volunteering taking over more responsibilities. In WordCamp 2017 I handled speaker profiles and social media promotions. In WordCamp 2018, I am getting to know more about what all an organiser needs to do from planning to execution, to make the event the WordCamp an successful event.</p>\n<p><b>WordCamp Mumbai 2017</b></p>\n<a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wcmumbai2017-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2375\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wcmumbai2017-1.jpg\" alt=\"WordCamp Mumbai 2017\" width=\"668\" height=\"337\" /></a>WordCamp Mumbai 2017\n<p>After spending 3 years with WordPress Mumbai Community, I am glad to be part of this amazing team.

many years, we&#8217;ve invited folks to tell us how they use WordPress by filling out an annual survey. In the past, interesting results from this survey have been shared in the annual <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2017/12/state-of-the-word-2017/\">State of the Word</a> address. This year, for the first time, the results of the 2017 survey are being published on WordPress News, along with the results of the 2015 and 2016 survey.</p>\n<p>So that information from the survey doesn&#8217;t reveal anything that respondents might consider private, we do not publish a full export of the raw data. We’d love to make this information as accessible as possible, though, so if you have a suggestion for an OS project or tool we can put the data into that allows people to play with it that still protects individual response privacy, please leave a comment on this post!</p>\n<h4>Major Groups</h4>\n<p>This survey features multiple groups, dividing respondents at the first question:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Which of the following best describes how you use WordPress? (<em>Mandatory</em>)</p></blockquote>\n<p>Those who selected &#8220;I&#8217;m a designer or developer, or I work for a company that designs/develops websites; I use WordPress to build websites and/or blogs for others. (This might include theme development, writing plugins, or other custom work.)&#8221; were served questions from what we&#8217;ll call the &#8220;WordPress Professionals&#8221; group.</p>\n<p>This &#8220;WordPress Professionals&#8221; group is further divided into WordPress Company and WordPress Freelancer/Hobbyist groups, based on how the respondent answered the question, &#8220;Which of the following best describes your involvement with WordPress? (2015) / Do you work for a company, or on your own? (2016-17).&#8221;</p>\n<p>Those who selected &#8220;I own, run, or contribute to a blog or website that is built with WordPress.&#8221; were served questions in what we&#8217;re calling the &#8220;WordPress Users&#8221; group.</p>\n<p>The relevant survey group is noted in each table below. In the case of questions that were served to different groups in 2015 but then served to all respondents in 2016 and 2017, the group responses from 2015 have been consolidated into one set of data for easier comparison between years.</p>\n<h4>Survey results</h4>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/feed/#pro\">Jump to answers from WordPress Professionals</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/feed/#user\">Jump to answers from WordPress Users</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/feed/#all\">Jump to answers from All Respondents</a></p>\n<p><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--></p>\n<h3>Which of the following best describes how you use WordPress?

We have a lengthy discussion about <a href=\"https://www.eugdpr.org/\">GDPR</a> (General Data Protection Regulation), what it is, what&#8217;s at stake, and its potential impacts on the WordPress ecosystem. We also discuss the cultural differences between the North American and European views on user privacy.</p>\n<p>When asked what she hopes to see as we approach May of 2018, Burns replied:</p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to see all hands on deck making WordPress a force for good, that people can trust, and that people can be empowered to change for the better. Don&#8217;t let the fact that it involves law put you off. GDPR is a toolkit for empowerment, it&#8217;s a means for protecting and safeguarding your users in these quite scary times we&#8217;re living in. And it will make you a better developer and site administrator in the end.&#8221;</p>\n<p>For questions related to GDPR or how to make your site or WordPress plugins compliant, <a href=\"https://webdevlaw.uk/\">please get in touch with Burns</a>.

As a kid, a dream job, was playing and reviewing video games. I believe, many kids had a similar dream job. I guess, that’s where I started seeing a dream job would be a job where you would be happy to go to and maybe even sad when going from it.</p>\n<p>Today, I see myself as having a dream job. Let me tell you how I got to my current situation.</p>\n<h3>Programming was not for me</h3>\n<p>While going to high school, I was introduced to programming. We did some Turbo C++ and I could not understand a thing. Even a simple for-loop was hard for me. I would rather play Counter-Strike with friends who attended that class. After that, as I did not understand programming, I chose not to follow such career path. I did not want my parents to pay for my college expenses since I would have to go to another city. Especially since I realised I don’t understand how to code.</p>\n<p>Since I live in Croatia, I did not have access to a high speed internet. At that time, a high speed internet was an ADSL with a download speed of 200kb/s.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I was using the 56k modem which was too expensive so I had only 2 hours per week to spend on it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I used those 2 hours for playing games instead of learning.</p>\n<p>Once I got the ADSL, somewhere near the end of high school, I was able to get my hands on Photoshop and learned how to manipulate images. After high school, I went to the Maritime College but soon after I knew I did not want to spend years and years working on ships, not seeing my family or friends. That was not my dream job.</p>\n<h3>Second Try</h3>\n<p>I decided to give another chance to programming, but with a different learning path. Since I already knew how to use Photoshop, I realized there was an option “Slice for Web..â€�. That was my first introduction to web development.</p>\n<p>I knew having a web page composed of images from Photoshop was not how it should be done. I was used to 56k modem and I knew how a page like that would take long to load.</p>\n<p>The luck was on my side now since I had ADSL and I could spend hours and hours weekly search the Internet. I searched how to slice images and prepare them for web pages by reading PSD Tuts+. Back then there were only PSD and Net TutsPlus sites in their network.</p>\n<p>I learned a lot on PSD to HTML and how to use CSS to style your web sites. After that, I wanted to learn how do blogging sites work. How do they show those articles. I mean, it couldn’t be that for each article, they would open one HTML file and edit it. That’s just too much work. So, I found about PHP and MySQL and got some courses on Lynda on that.</p>\n<p>I learned about creating a blog using PHP and MySQL. I also learned a little on advanced coding and I was really happy with my knowledge. All that was just a month or two from where I knew nothing on programming.</p>\n<h3>Looking for a CMS</h3>\n<p>With my knowledge, I knew how to build various types of sites. I asked other businesses if I could build a site for them in return of a favour or even product. Some of them were up to that. I didn’t want to charge since I knew I still had a lot to learn.</p>\n<p>After a while, I was a bit tired (read: lazy) of building SQL tables and all the base functions for each project. I wanted to see if there are some tools I could use for a faster development. Something that would give me a starting point with basic functionalities such as content, users, settings etc.</p>\n<p>After reading a lot of tutorials on PHP, I also read about Joomla, WordPress and similar. So I went for both. I was so confused by Joomla and how everything I wanted to do required me several clicks. After that, I tried WordPress. I loved it. Joomla had articles, which you could set as pages. WordPress had Posts and Pages. I really loved how everything was so easy to setup. At that time, there were no custom post types or featured images, but I did not need them yet. I was just beginning my journey with WordPress.</p>\n<p>From there forward I downloaded many themes and plugins just to read their code and learn how they’ve been developed.</p>\n<h3>The First Breadcrumbs &amp; Disappointments</h3>\n<p>Even though I did not know too much, I did know how to develop something, how to use a library and integrate it into my own and so on.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The first time I realised that WordPress could help me have a dream job is when I created a simple Dropbox plugin for my own needs.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Once I’ve built it and scanned through CodeCanyon, I saw there was nothing like that (now there are several). So I went and uploaded it there. It went live after a week or so.</p>\n<p>I did not expect much from it. I could gather around $300 from it after several months. As a college student who didn’t work on a side job, such income was really great for me.</p>\n<p>That is where it all started for me. I decided to use WordPress for any new projects and build custom ones to learn more.</p>\n<p>Don’t get me wrong. It was not so easy to get new projects. I did get a job as a student which was a failure in the sense that I did not get paid for it. I also had another freelancing experience that was not good. But that did not let me down.</p>\n<p>You WILL get those clients from hell. It is something I think most of us get to know. But in time, you will learn how to identify such clients and pass on such projects.</p>\n<p>Fast forward a year and I got a job where I did not use WordPress. But I did not intend to leave it. I joined Elance (now Upwork) so I could earn some side money using WordPress.</p>\n<p>I did not earn anything on Elance and on my daily job, for a year, I was getting only 60% of the monthly paycheck because the Company did not have enough money. Somehow they did get the other 40% by the end of the month.</p>\n<p>But can you imagine how stressful was that? You can never know if you can travel or save some money. I could not afford purchasing a course which could improve my knowledge.</p>\n<p>I had a job where I liked to work, but the money situation was really stressful and I did not want to rely just on the company. WordPress to the rescue!</p>\n<h3>WordPress Community</h3>\n<p>Not long after, I learned about WordPress Croatia. Before that, I never used social media for such discussions and networking. That Facebook group was the first group I joined to discuss about WordPress and help each other.</p>\n<p>That was really a great experience. I learned about WordCamps and Meetups and that group pushed me into making my first eBook on WordPress. Another product I was able to earn some side money which involved WordPress. My mindset started to change.</p>\n<blockquote><p>By helping others through teaching and discussion, I can also help the WordPress Community.</p></blockquote>\n<p>My first experience on public speaking was on a WordPress Meetup in Zagreb. I would never go if I was not invited by Emanuel Blagonić. A great guy who with his brother Lucijan and several other folks really started a WordPress movement in Croatia.</p>\n<p>I never seen anything like that before. People helping each others, going so much to take their own free time to fix or at least investigate a bug on someone else’s site. I really liked it and wanted to be a part of such a community.</p>\n<p>Even if such a community does not help you directly to land a job or get a new gig, it really does help you indirectly with all the knowledge that is shared (from development to business).</p>\n<h3>Teaching &amp; Job Opportunities</h3>\n<p>Because of the WordPress community in Croatia, I wanted to help by teaching others. So I also started a site where I have written a lot of tutorials on WordPress development. That site was in Croatian so people can start much sooner (even if they don’t know English).</p>\n<p>I used to sleep only for 2 to 3 hours so I could get up much earlier and start to write tutorials or make videos. I did not have a microphone at first, so I used a webcam as a microphone. You can imagine how awful the audio was. Even if it’s in Croatian, you can check the quality of it on <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzcRclnBSnJRPM5h4PfnqWw\">YouTube</a>.</p>\n<blockquote><p>But I was really happy I could help someone who knows less than me.</p></blockquote>\n<p>By teaching, I have learned a lot and I am so thankful to the community which was one of the reasons I kept going like that. I also got invited to several WordPress projects just because people saw me as someone who understands WordPress.</p>\n<h3>WordCamps &amp; WebCamps</h3>\n<p>You can make friends there. Seems a bit odd maybe, but you can. Due to the community I made some friends such as Ana &amp; Marko from <a href=\"https://www.anarieldesign.com/\">anarieldesign.com</a> and Goran Jakovljević from <a href=\"https://wpgens.com/\">wpgens.com</a>.</p>\n<p>We have become friends through the community on social media. I’ve met them all just after a year or so on WordCamp Zagreb 2017. But we talked as if we were friends for years and years. I’ve seen how people from all over the world talk to each other and how a friendly and welcoming this WordPress Community is.</p>\n<p>Even today, I frequently talk to all of them and we help each other as we can. That is something that you can’t have everywhere.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/codeable.png\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2359\" src=\"http://20094-presscdn.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/codeable-300x270.png\" alt=\"Codeable sticker on a ski helmet\" width=\"300\" height=\"270\" /></a>My dream job progress came after WebCamp Zagreb 2016 where I met other people from the IT community. I got introduced to Toptal and just a month from it, I joined Toptal. Codeable was also something I wanted to try and I did. As if those platform communicated together, I got invited into <a href=\"https://codeable.io/\">Codeable</a> a week after I joined <a href=\"https://www.toptal.com/\">Toptal</a>.</p>\n<p>That is where it all has started getting real to me. I was able to freelance as much as I wanted and when I wanted. It was the first time I could go do my hobbies without worrying about money.</p>\n<h3>The Dream Job we all seek</h3>\n<p>My definition of a dream job is the feeling when you’re waking up happy and not sad because you have to go to work. Such job should also challenge you so you learn something new. Sometimes it may even get you out of your comfort zone, but you’ll be a better person because of it.</p>\n<p>I still have an occupied day, working on a daily job and then working with my own clients. It may not suit all. But I am finally able to feel somehow financially free, going happy to work and making friends while doing it. Even if I don’t have any side projects, I am working on my plugins and writing tutorials on my own site (I love it).</p>\n<p>Today, for the first time, I am planning to go to a WordCamp outside Croatia.</p>\n<p><strong>That is all thanks to WordPress.</strong></p>\n<p>You know that you should never stop dreaming, right?</p>\n<p>I guess, I wanted to let you know that WordPress can help you get a dream job! It can be something totally different, but as long as it involves Internet, I think WordPress can help you with it.</p>\n<p><strong>WordPress would not be where it is today if it was not to the whole WordPress Community. So, thanks to all involved in it!</strong></p>\n<div class=\"rtsocial-container rtsocial-container-align-right rtsocial-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-twitter-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Tweet: WordPress allowed me to have a Dream Job\" class=\"rtsocial-twitter-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/share?text=WordPress%20allowed%20me%20to%20have%20a%20Dream%20Job&via=heropress&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-allowed-dream-job%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal fb-light\"><div class=\"rtsocial-fb-horizontal-button\"><a title=\"Like: WordPress allowed me to have a Dream Job\" class=\"rtsocial-fb-button rtsocial-fb-like-light\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-allowed-dream-job%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"></a></div></div><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal\"><div class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-horizontal-button\"><a class=\"rtsocial-linkedin-button\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fheropress.com%2Fessays%2Fwordpress-allowed-dream-job%2F&title=WordPress+allowed+me+to+have+a+Dream+Job\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share: WordPress allowed me to have a Dream Job\"></a></div
