Wealthy Affiliate University 3.0-New Upgrade Review

Wealthy Affiliate University 3.0 New Upgrade and review.

Wealthy Affiliate University, one of the largest online internet marketing membership websites has just released it’s newest upgrade, the 3.0 Version. The founders Kyle and Carson have taken comments for improvements as well the need for more space due to it’s large subscriber base and made 2008 a year to remember. Here are some of the changes to the new feel and version.

What to expect on the new version?

Brand New Server: As the subscriber base grew, time out issues were getting larger, and the free web hosting had been having problems with space requirements. Wealthy Affiliate University 3.0 is running on a brand new server that has lots of speed and memory to handle it’s current tools, as well as the new ones that are have planned for 2008. I feel that this additional space will have a significant impact on hosting and value of the service.

A New Look: The new look that Wealthy Affiliate University 3.0 provides a fresh modern feel to the members area. The learning resources have been re arranged and a quick launch bar along the top of the page so users can browse to the most used tools and resources with a click of a button. The new look is easier to browse. Version 2.0 had one way to access the different areas, but the new 3.0 has at least 2 ways to access all areas, the dashboard being one.

New Dashboard: New to Wealthy Affiliate University is a personal dashboard so that users can keep current with events, actions, new resources and tools. Included on the dashboard are "modules" that you can drag / drop and organize to look the way you want them. These modules track anything from Forum activity, to the top Clickbank products and WA job postings. With the dashboard becoming an important tool for user interface, this new addition proves to be a solid move.

Site Wide Search: Previously there was no tool on version 2.0. With Wealthy Affiliate University 3.0, the site wide search will grab all resources at Wealthy Affiliate based on a query and you can expect to find exactly what you are looking for. One of the problems with 2.0 was that you had to manually hunt and peck for information. The new search provides relevant information in seconds.

Resource Updates: As the Internet evolves, resources and tutorials have to be updated to include the newest techniques and strategies. Wealthy Affiliate 3.0 resources have been fully revised and rewritten to reflect the current changes in the internet marketing community. Having joined in November 2007, there were resources and lessons referencing outdated tools like overture word search. All outdated topics have been removed.

New Forum: One of the most used and important part of the membership is the forum. This is the heart of Wealthy Affiliate University. Membership feedback has been taken to heart and there is a new look and feel to the forum. The new forum looks a lot different but adds many new features and upgrades. For current users that preferred the old look, the “old skin” is available.

Log out issues resolved: Previously the 2.0 version would time out, kicking users out and having to relog on. Wealthy Affiliate 3.0 handles login much better and will keep you logged in as long as you have your browser open and are active. You do not have to worry about being logged out while you are in the middle of typing a message in the forum.

Future Updates: Wealthy Affiliate University has revealed that this new version will actually be a one year launch. With so many tools planned, the site will need to roll them out sequentially over the course of the year. Plans are that membership will not require the need for any other resources or internet tools. The new platform has been designed to hold and offer the most complete service to Internet marketers anywhere online.

Overall: The new look and feel works. The key benefits are the ease of navigation, and the improvements in server issues. Having always provided useful actionable tools, I expect that the site will provide ongoing value with the new version.

So...What are you waiting For? Come on in, we'll leave the light on! Wealthy Affiliate University.
