Category: Opinion Tags: Weebly issues and problems 1 Comment

Like most things in life, Weebly as a website builder also has its fair share of annoying things. Dealing with these annoyances is very easy following the right procedures. In this article, we will show you the 5 most annoying things about Weebly and how to actually fix them.

#1. Loading Message with Spinner in the Weebly Site Editor

You may already have come across the small annoying loading popup. Almost every Weebly user have seen it on the Site Editor.

This may appear for the slightest action sometimes such as after dropping any Weebly element, etc. Your website is being saved in Weebly’s server cache. The timeframe of having the data saved depends on the size of your website as well as the speed of your internet connection.

But well, that loading message with spinner usually caused by slow Internet connection.

#2. Weebly Server Errors

Other than the Weebly Site Editor taking long time to load and save your changes, it may also throw different types of error messages when editing your website.

To avoid that, try not uploading large files such as video files etc to your Weebly website. If it ever happens, simply hitting the exit button will hide the error.

#3. Weebly System Error

There are several reasons why Weebly websites owners may get the publishing error “Oops ! The system encountered an error. Please try your last request again” error. If ever this happens with you, you’d just need to click the X icon to close it and the message will disappear.

8 Things to Remove from your Weebly Website Immediately

Category: Opinion Tags: things to remove from a website 2 Comments

There are things on your website that are affecting your Google rankings and traffic. No matter how much effort you put into optimizing, they’re going to keep you down. Today we’re going to teach you 8 things that you need to remove from your  Weebly website immediately if you want to rank better on Google.



#1. Outdated Content

This is the first thing you you need to delete from your website. This is doesn’t come as a shock to hear as you probably know this. Google and most search engines out there prefer fresh content. According to HostingTribunal there are over 1.7 billion websites in the world. Over two million blog posts are being published every single day. You’ll need to stand out with amazing and up to date content.

You’ll need to look at those pages that were doing well and go and update them. And by refreshing up, making them better, you’re going to rank much better versus taking your old content and just leaving it there.

Google and all the rest of the search engines want all the content on your Weebly website to be great and updated because it’s not just one page ranking on its own, it’s your whole website.

#2. Pages with Thin Content

That’s the second thing that’s hurting your website. What you guys need to do is go to all the pages that offer little to no value, look at them then you do the following:

  • Update them and make them more in-depth, or
  • 301 redirect them to other better pages that are more in-depth and offer a much better user experience.

#3. Excessive or Irrelevant Ads

Well, Ads will simple make visitors leave a website if it impacts user experience.

It’s not prohibited to have ads, but you want to make sure that they blend in, they’re not too much in how they look, and they’re not distracting the user.

#4. Automatically Generated Content

What you need to do is create content that provides the best experience out there. That’s what Google wants. Having content generated automatically by some tools isn’t that good and won’t get you far in your SEO journey.

#5. Intrusive Popups or Interstitials

You definitely need to stop doing is intrusive popups or interstitials.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t do popups, but ultimately you want to save the popups as an exit popup, for example.

#6. Irrelevant Internal Links

For this, just make sure that you’re choosing internal links that are relevant to the content.

#7. Duplicate Content

Avoid back links to spammy websites and domain names. When you link up to other spammy websites, you can get caught up by Google in what it calls link scheme which negatively affects the reputation of your website, therefore your whole website’s rank.

#8. Duplicate Content

This is isn’t a surprise. Avoid it at all cost.

drawbacks of Weebly

7 Key Drawbacks of Weebly you Should Know

Category: Opinion

Weebly is one of the most used drag and drop website builder in the world. With millions of users, it is widely praised and appreciated for its advantages, especially when it comes to its easy of use.



But well, like any other website creation solution, it definitely has its own disadvantages. The drawbacks of Weebly may even lead you to reconsider using it for building and maintaining your website.

Well, we have already published a full Weebly review but we are here listing the 10 Key drawbacks of Weebly you should be aware of.

7 Key Drawbacks of Weebly

#1 Website Backup

Backup copies are very important for any website owner. One can restore the website at any previous date when anything goes wrong or for any other reason. Weebly does offer a website backup feature but it’s very limited. It allows downloading the whole website into a zipped file. The issue here is that the backed up website cannot be uploaded back into Weebly website.

It basically means you need to create the website from scratch in case anything goes wrong.

#2 Website Modifications

Non-coders may find it hard to imply extra customization to their websites. There isn’t enough flexibility to modify the theme’s files and the general structure.

#3 Weebly Blog Limitations

Weebly blog features aren’t that impressive comparing it with other solutions. Here are a few drawbacks:

  • You cannot copy a Weebly blog so it is difficult to migrate your blog content
  • Very basic comment control and management system
  • Latest 10 blog posts will be displayed automatically in one page

#4 Poor Page Management

Weebly offers a very basic tool for managing pages. If a website has a large number of pages, it is very difficult to arrange the navigation of them since they are currently arranged one below one.

#5 Migrating from Weebly

If you have a website elsewhere and you’d like to migrate it to Weebly, you won’t be able. Weebly doesn’t allow any file upload into its system. The same goes when one

#6 Weebly’s Terms of Services

It’s very important that you read and fully understand Weebly’s terms of services. It may clearly restrict the type of website you’re looking to host with them.

#7 Not Suitable for Huge websites

Weebly, pretty much like any other website builder, it’s not really suitable for large websites. It’s mainly designed to create small, professional informational websites.

Beginner’s Guide: What is a Domain Name and How Does it Work?

Category: Beginners Guide, Opinion Tags: what is a domain name

If you’re just starting out, as a beginner, you may have heard that you need a domain to have a website.

Many people do confuse domains with websites or hosting plans etc. It’s quite normal that all these different terms may sound too technical.

Actually your domain name is your online identity, the one that represents your brand. The choice of a good domain name can highly contribute to the success of a new web project.



What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the Internet address of your website. The one entered in the URL field of your browser. For example WeeblyTutorials.com. It is composed of a first part [WeeblyTutorials] which is the name of the site and another [.com] which is the extension.

How Domain Names Actually Work?

To understand things up quickly on how domains work, we will take a look at what happens when you enter it in your browser.

How domains work

When you enter a domain name in your web browser, it sends a request to the server where your website is hosted via the namesevers. The sever then sends the data back to the browser via the domain name.

Now that we understand the different parts of a domain name, let’s get to the business of how to pick out the best name. We have prepared a complete guide on that to help you choose and register the best domain name for your Weebly website.
