Hey Neil Needless to say, I love your stuff! Lately, a lot of my energy has been focused on improving my Core Web Vitals. Out of interest, I run an audit for neilpatel.com at web.dev/measure. Here are your (mostly green) results: First Contentful Paint 2.2 s Time to Interactive 4.1 s Speed Index 2.2 s Total Blocking Time 60 ms Largest Contentful Paint 2.3 s Cumulative Layout Shift 0 I want to see mostly green when I run an audit on my site. Could you please do a video on improving Core Web Vitals, with a focus on WordPress sites. Thanks for taking the time to read/consider. Cheers Pedro
luxurycardstore personally I like a clean sidebar and have noticed the design tweak in the last few years on bigger sites. I understand why the sidebar is conventionally popular but feel like it’s a bit dated nowadays as design favors minimalism.
Hi Neil! Can you do a version of this for mobile? I know you've mentioned that mobile isn't as high converting for you, but still would be interesting to see how you all think about adapting this setup for mobile visitors.
Right on time. The terminology and screen share that you used was what was most helpful. Now I'll be able to pass this information along when I hire a designer.
Learn templates and create your style. Never copy others. Neil has his style. However, if everyone has the same it sounds boring. Highlight the best elements and adapt to your preferences.
i found you through the suggested videos first your videos are very nice and more informative..i just made a UA-cam channel so am definitely thanks for all your help.please keep it up!just subbed!!
Thanks for this! Can this apply for podcast webpage too? What would you recommend here? I only have audio player no video and write some intro. What is best for this? Turn into a blog too? Thanks
Hey Neil I'm somewhat of a newbie to digital marketing. I've been watching several of your videos to learn how to become a pro blogger. Do you have any videos or resources I can use to know how to implement the different parts of my blog, like the techy side of things.
Hey neil, even I use hello bar since have seen one of your videos a few months back, but I wanted to ask that do you use a paid version as I am not able to get such a great looking side bar pop up as you r having.
In the video you talked about the header on your blog that allowed visitors to use the drop down meny to select categories. Is that hard coded into your site or is it a plug in? What is the technical term for what that is?
@@neilpatel Neil you are my guru (even if that's NOT what you are aiming for) LOVE this video, as I am literally just starting a blog. What theme are you using?
Hello sir how r you .I have a question that when I make brands and comparison Catagories is that for the easy navigation for the user or is it also for ranking for those keywords ?
Bro I have one query if you could help :- so I had a backup of my website through updraftplus , after 3 or 4 days my website broke , now can I restore my website on a new hosting downloading updraft plugin there and restore it...Will it show the restore option when downloaded in a new hosting for the "SAME DOMAIN" that I will add to my new hosting. I hope you understand the question because It will then become easy for me just to restore by tabbing a button rather than restoring manually. Plz answer
hey neil i purchased ubersuggest but i also want to purchase one more tool from SEMRUSH , MOZ , AHREF can you please suggest which one should i purchase ?
Hey there, thank you for all these invaluable tips. It has created more jobs for me to do with my blog. I sent a message abt 2 weeks ago for you AD agency. Not sure if my budget was too small for you to consider
With the side bar info, I believe this works well for desktop. But how does it translate for mobile? And if not ideal, what would you suggest for that? Majority of my traffic comes from mobile, so I want to optimize the experience for them as well as ensure there are enough opportunities for us to get leads and sales. Thank you for posting this video. ☺️🙏
@@neilpatel what's the name of the theme. I am starting a health blog and I want something minimal, clean and simple. And it should be easy to use. And your website consists of all that. Therefore I want to know the name of your theme.
Hi Neil, how can I set an element to be pinned to the screen not from the beginning but from a point further along the blog post page? Hope it make sense. Antonio
Thanks for the info Neil :-) I want to know how should I build links for a new website? Like what should I do after creating basic social profiles of my website? I mean I posted some blog posts over my website shared it on social media platforms than after that what should I do. I don't have an email list to market my blogs. I am confused so much about link building more I read the confusing it gets. How do i create a link building plan?
Hey Neil! Again a great video. However, I have a question I´m certain you can answer. You always mention the importance of reaching out via email to people for blog post mentions or reaching out to change an old content with newly written one. If someone starts a blog as a side project, would you say that just focussing on building large Social Media accounts is similar helpful? Also, what is your opinion about a newly started blog on how fast the first sale should happen? I´m new to this topic so I try to learn fast but watch my metrics as well. Thanks again, you are doing really good work here! I already learned a lot! Regards, Kate / BC
Yes, social media is definitely a great way to help build your brand and foster a community. However, creating backlinks is good for increasing the DA of your site. It can take a few months to see some sales :)
@@neilpatel Many thanks for the reply and for putting things in perspective, it´s highly appreciated! I opened the blog 3 weeks ago and still had no sales so I thought it was bad lol I´ll follow your lead and learn from you to make it better and stay on track! Thanks again! :-)
I'm not sure that you can embed an email into an email. I know you can send a file of the video but I'd recommend sending the link to the video from your UA-cam channel so it builds views on your channel :) However, sending GIFs shouldn't affect deliverability.
I absolutely love your blog layout and the scroll on your Instagram page, but I am a sub-beginner. Could you please break this down into real life baby steps that I can actually implement.Being Wowwed is great, but I need to learn how to do this, so that I can put this into practice. I think it's above and beyond that you put in the accessibility icon for the sight hearing impaired.
i have a question! as only you are helping out there... I recently started a website, yesterday i searched the post on Google same as on Google search with my website name... I saw my post as featured snippet but when i searched the focus keyphrase of post i never found my post as i scrolled down and down but never found my post. I checked my featured snippet using tool i found that i have a featured snippet. Now i have a question why my post is showing as featured snippet only when typing the name of my website on the end of title? also what should i do?
I am planning to get into affiliate marketing I am in a dilemma that should i use a CMS like WordPress or build the website all by myself using HTML, CSS and JavaScript?
I hope I will understand you completely sir please make a channel for Urdu and Hindi speaking people's. Because I think you have a large numbers of viewer's of Hindi and Urdu peoples. Regards

@Neil Patel - What do recommend for websites, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix for a Website for Blogs, Videos, and Podcasts.
I like Wordpress :)
Can you save it as a template to paste the blog into or do you have to add it manually each time
Great video as always sir.. Thanks😊👍
Always welcome :)

The cleanest blog post is without sidebars. Other things add them on bottom.
Test out both and see which works best with your audience :) Every audience is different
Thanks so much 😎😎
No problem!

Hello there,
It can take a little while to reach out to our inquiries because we get quite a few of them! You should hear back soon :)
@@neilpatel thank you for your reply
What do you use to get the "I want to learn about____" search bar?
Its custom coded into my site :)
Is there a method of doing sub-heading links without a wikii plugin?
Sure, you can set up in your HTML-code. I use in editing plugin as well.
It's best practice to keep your links within your content versus as a header. :)
With the side bar info, I believe this works well for desktop. But how does it translate for mobile? And if not ideal, what would you suggest for that?
Majority of my traffic comes from mobile, so I want to optimize the experience for them as well as ensure there are enough opportunities for us to get leads and sales. Thank you for posting this video. ☺️🙏
Sidebars ruins website mobile view. Try to use a theme with single layout.
You can make your sidebar mobile responsive!
Otherwise your sidebar may just automatically show up at the bottom of your page, which is fine too.
Neil Patel thank you very much. I will look into that.
Many people prefer using side bar for Google Ads!
The best place for ads is the bottom.
Exactly!
Which wordpress theme do you use for your blog.
It's a customized theme :)
@@neilpatel what's the name of the theme.

What is the ideal word length for blog
It depends on the keyword but typically 2000-3000
