@andy Thank you very much, Andy, I appreciate that. I don’t even know what my username was, but I am more than happy if you use my full name. I believe there is another Roy on the forum who used to be on Wealthy Affiliate.
PS: 00 sounds important!! 
@partha God to see you are well covered.
Let us know if you need help.
I follow
I see you have got good advice here.
If you need any help, let US know.
I don´t know anything about it but I will follow this thread with intresting.
All of this is the best way to get high of their useless ranking system, best proof how god it is.
3 weeks ago, I didn´t manage to go to my site. After sending and explaining the Site support and answering start and useless questions, I needed to wait 24 hours. Then they admit that they were getting new software or what it is called and fit it in.
I was having problems with a lot of beginner things, and with work, it was fine to start there. But it hurt to see all the wrong advice and realise how things is. Not at least because my strength and weakness is to be loyal. Guess it is too from the sport.
So, even though big and helpful friends of mine offered me free hosting and free backlink help, I didn´t sadly take that great offer. Even so I know that people was and is super great!
But I didn´t know enough to understand the fails and wrong advice. I would have been on a very different place is I had said yes.
Even so, after being there in 2-3 years I will never ever again be in Bluehost!
@RoyBretton Hey double O!
Surprisingly it was an easy fix. 10/10 for the WPX guys. I didn't even have to do anything. They took care of it all. You should be good to go. Your time as a secret agent is no longer needed :cry:
@andy Thank you for fixing the issue, Andy; it’s appreciated. That’s good to know that WPX fixed the issue promptly, a good advert for their hosting! Now I’ve lost the double 00 name!
@partha - Mic Drop!
Very true, all of it...The site support is laughable...they do create problems where none should be.
My renewal comes up in Nov, and that will be my last year there. Sad, but I'm there only for the hosting at this time....I have many websites, and need to find the best host for the money to accommodate multiple websites, not just 5 or 10.
I have learned what NOT to do, by being at WA, but more importantly, I've learned what I was doing wrong....And now I am taking the right action. 'Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly...'

@RoyBretton Hi Roy, we have been chatting on WA, well I think lol it was you (same name), but sadly I can't answer you back, because I had a silence ban on WA. Just to let you know that I am not ignoring you and thanks for the chats!
Lizzy (Lizken on WA)
@ohnoo_not_her Good morning Lizzy,
Thank you for letting me know, it’s appreciated. I actually thought that was what had probably happened as I believe it was on this forum that I read that you had some sort of ban on Wealthy Affiliate. Is a silence ban the same as a writing ban or are they different? Incidently, I didn’t think you were ignoring me.
Do you know the reason for the ban, Lizzy? I’m guessing it’s due to the fact that you didn’t go along with the Wealthy Affiliate narrative!
Have a great day.
Roy

Hi Roy, a silence ban is the same as a writing ban :-)
Well, I can guess what happened, as you say : being too critical sometimes, but I will never know because they don't give a reason at all. And then they sent me these strange emails from Kyle with a ten-day notice of my domain getting removed in ten days (while it is still valuable and paid for 15 days and I have moved hosting quite some time ago).
Anyway, I am transferring all domains as well, I am in the process of doing this to WPX. This was the last time that they got me mad and waisting time and energy. It will be much more peaceful to me anyway to not answer anything there any longer lol. So all is good! :-)
Have a great day!
Lizzy
Thank you for your reply, Lizzy, it’s appreciated.
I wondered if the two types of bans would be the same. I hope you get reinstated soon.
Although I understand that Kyle and Carson don’t want to give their platform a bad name, we should be able to speak reasonably freely; otherwise, it really defeats the object of having a forum.
I have never purchased my domains from Wealthy Affiliate; that’s probably partly because they are cheaper elsewhere and I also have a Go Daddy reseller account. So, I believe that you are doing the right thing by removing your domains from Wealthy Affiliate.
You definitely don’t want to have drama when you are paying money to a platform! I’m sure the WPO hosting will work out much better from what I understand.
Enjoy your day.
Roy
@ohnoo_not_her Wow. Banning you is pathetic and not cool, but removing your domain? Just wow.

I know right, it's so childish. Anyway, thanks to Andy, it will be all right in the end! ( I was panicking there for a bit lol)

Some days the "soaps" are fun to watch them play out. Any time you need anything from the other side, I will be there for a while longer. It may be my lame helper gene in me, but I've got almost another year.
On the topic that brought me here, I find that I am chatting more with AI to fill in my knowledge gaps.
There are many times I Don't Know What I Don't Know. When that happens, I have Chatty create an in-depth hands-on course with step-by-step instructions. Works like a charm to get me where I want to go.
Then there are days like today when Chatty and I were contemplating the next steps for Setting Points.
As many of you know, I was never a Social Media fan. My wife had the FB account, and all of the Pins, and Snaps, who cares? All of that changed when I took up niche blogging and affiliate marketing.
This is quite a different animal than having a courseware catalog and selling classes for $10K a pop plus travel. That job went belly up with COVID. So I am here.
The conversation went like this...
My traffic sucks... Chatty's Suggestions
1. Refine SEO Strategy - Niche Blogging for Retirement
2. Leverage Social Media - I am everywhere now not as consistent as I should be, but present and accounted for.
3. Collaborate with Other Bloggers - Working on this, no one said yes yet.
4. Promote on Platforms like Medium and Substack - 2 on Medium, and 1 banned from Substack. Appeal pending.
@Partha - My keyword is much shorter now than when it was How to Master Niche Blogging for Retirement. To this day, I enjoy the Partha ribbing on How to Kill Your Kids and Get Away With It keyword.
I still use all of the "Partha Prompts" and a collection of others that I have accumulated. From topic maps to content review. Which is what brought me in today. I recall a "Product Review Prompt" from our Pirating course.
The one that I have, evolved from it. Now that I am finalizing the format, I want to go back to the beginning to ensure that nothing useful has morphed out of it.
AI has a mind of its own.
Somewhere in this post, I should say thanks again to Partha for walking us through his Chat with Chatty.
MrDon
PS - One day I will collect on the "included" website review from way back when and take you up on the "The Vault" offer. I am just now getting around to writing that review, so it may be a good thing to have the affiliate link.
PSS - I usually check-in once or twice a week here.

@ohnoo_not_her I didn´t have a clue about this! Your domain I mean.
This is overall bars! Illegal, etc., and, well, I will stop now, but you can guess what I mean!!!
@RoyBretton Roy! I don't know how to contact you here in person, but I noticed your question on WA about Amazon!
( as you know I have been silenced there, so I got mad when no one responded in the correct way)
You CAN actually join Amazon for several countries at once under ONE account, you just need to apply for every country separately, if I remember correctly. And then link it to one account. It has been like that for quite some years now.
Quite annoying how the 'community' there leads people AWAY FROM MAKING MONEY instead of actually making money, djees.
The screenshot is from my account:
[attach]1168[/attach]I hope you read this,

@ohnoo_not_her I haven't been on WA since my free account was banned, lol, so I haven't seen the question.
But yes, Amazon has a tool called OneLink, which connects your shops automatically, when you join other countries.
But a few things to note - for each new country you join, you have to make 3 sales in 180 days.
The affiliate link must be from Amazon.com, and then when somebody clicks, Amazon sends them to their own country.
And it only works with text links.

the response to Roy was adjusted, exactly the way you responded just now lol. Problem solved hahahaha ^^
@ohnoo_not_her Hello Lizzy,
I hope that you are doing well, despite being silenced at Wealthy Affiliate.
I appreciate you coming back to me regarding my question and I also see that Diane has responded. This is good, as I know that Diane created or certainly knows about the Amazon affiliate program, etc, and promoting it to multiple countries.
I had heard that you can join the Amazon affiliate program under one account, but I just wondered if it had been streamlined or made easier. But it looks like things are still the same, which is fine.
It’s a shame that you still can’t communicate on Wealthy Affiliate, as I believe your subscription still has a few months to run. How long is your ban for, Lizzy?
Once again, I appreciate your help.
Roy
@diane Hello Diane,
Thank you for responding to my question, via Lizzy, and via Wealthy Affiliate! It’s the sort of question that you would have answered almost immediately, I think if you had still been on the Wealthy Affiliate platform!
I think I asked a similar question on Wealthy Affiliate a year or so ago, but it’s quite long-winded going through old questions, as I don’t think there is a search functionality. Unfortunately, I don’t find the Wealthy Affiliate search particularly helpful.
My current Amazon affiliate program is based in the UK, so I will need to set up an Amazon.com affiliate program. I used to have an affiliate account with Amazon.com, I’m not sure what happened.
I appreciate your help.
Are you likely to be returning to Wealthy Affiliate, Diane, I believe that you are missed on the platform. I have a feeling I know what the answer will be!
All the best.
Roy
@RoyBretton welcome Roy!
That ban is forever I would think haha. It's just a shame that some people I followed on the platform, that I can't communicate with them anymore, even though they mentioned my name in a post.
On the other hand, it saves me a lot of time not being there often anymore. As soon as all my domains are transferred, I will leave anyway.
Good luck to you!
Lizzy
@RoyBretton Hi Roy - hope you are well.
No, I won't be returning, despite the auto-generated emails from Kyle and Carson, who would allegedly love to see me return!
I very much doubt that!
