I should park to America and keep doing it shey? Because it is there that men shines in blogging.

Either Nigeria or usa you can make it big so far that you are offering a good service.

What made me to hate blogging in Nigeria is that 98% of Nigerian bloggers are News caster all what they know is to wind up some false news .

There are some niche that Nigerian can make money at but our eyes are so blind that most of us want to become linda ikeji.

I have to be creative so i shun becoming a news caster and turn into a niche where everyone needs.

How do you create a redirect link for what is not there? If you wipe the content, it's all gone. A redirecting link will come into play if another article or website links directly to the article in question.

Since Google has placed more relevance to content of a website, you'll only loose SEO for the content that are deleted and of no more relevance; in this way, your website will be affected for such content.

@OP or any experienced blogger in the house, about the niche stuff? If you have published many contents on your blog before but later discovered they are not relevant to your niche and you deleted them. Without creating redirecting links for them, do they have impact on your blog or SEO in anyway?

The value of the money you intend making depends on how valuable is the information or services offered in your blog for your audience.

To start a blog:

1. Get a web address, thankfully enough, you can get a good one for free at www..com. So let's say you got Damager..com assuming your niche, business name or your name is damager
2. Research your niche or market
3. Prepare your unique contents and start publishing
4. Build an audience, preferably a loyal one
5. Monetize your content.


Thanx, so plzz Hw do I moneytize?? And also I love d blog idea Buh u gat any idea on Hw I can get a forum jus like nairaland.. wif a user friendly interface??

What I mean by the redirecting links is that, since I have shared those contents before on social media, so anybody that clicks on those links embedded in my shared contents would rather be taken to another contents existing on my blog since the contents whose those links belong to no longer existent in my blog, you get it? But I am not saying I have created any redirecting links whatsoever on my blog.

What I am asking is that, those irrelevant contents to my niche that I deleted, did they affect my SEO anyway?

Re: What Makes A Good Blog - 5 Things You Should Know by ContentPremise: 5:31pm On Apr 24, 2015
It depends on what your blogging field is, if for instance, information is what you are blogging on, then you can package an advanced copy of your subject (information) for sale.

I taught on how to develop a website here on Nairaland https://www.nairaland.com/1485054/joomla-free-training-nairaland-live and then packaged an advanced ebook for the same subject and offered it for sale in one of my websites http://JoomlaExtended.com/j3book

On the other, if you are blogging on a physical item or items, your audience will trust your judgment if you offer one for sale. You can make money from here.

You can also sell adverts on your website.

And when people see you as an authority in any field, they tend to come to you for advice, you'll also charge for this.

Bottom Line: You must be very good before people can listen and subsequently buy from you.

Tnx and can I still get d joomla training?? I said any Idea on Hw to get a forum wif a friendly user interface like nairaland?? tnx 4 listening to me.. I really believe in what I got and uniqueness is not d issue.. just need a user friendly forum wif some simple design
Re: What Makes A Good Blog - 5 Things You Should Know by ContentPremise: 5:56pm On Apr 24, 2015
Yes and that will be negative for the mean time. There are several factors leading to good SEO. Content, links (in this case dead),

You'll have a whole lot on your hand if those contents also have internal links because your Google Crawl budget will be greatly affected.

Crawl budget is the concept that Google only allocates a certain period of time to crawling a website before it stops the process and moves on to a different site. Google doesn’t want to waste endless time crawling content on the same website, so it makes sense for them to assign a time limit to their web crawls before moving on to another website. Sticking with the idea of crawl budgets, if a website has a high proportion of dead or non-existent links, then those pages will be crawled. The process of crawling these non-existent pages will invariably take up needless amounts of the crawl budget assigned to the site. Because of the time Googlebot spends crawling non-existent pages, your unique URLs may therefore not be discovered as quickly, or crawled as frequently – thus reducing the visibility of the important content on your site. It should therefore come as no surprise that when non-existent pages errors are resolved, the performance of a website in organic search results tends to improve.

Yes can still get the Joomla training, you can follow the tutorial here on Nairaland: https://www.nairaland.com/1485054/joomla-free-training-nairaland-live or grab my eBook at http://JoomlaExtended.com/j3book for just 1k.

Funny enough, at the end of reading the ebook, you would've been able to build a blogging website, see the image below. The ebook was tailored towards building a blog and of cause, you can make other stunning websites from reading the ebook.

Nairaland is a forum and that's different from a blogging site. What exactly do you want? I can then advice you appropriately on what to do.

Thank you.

Thanks for your insight. Concerning the internal linking, I have checked all and made sure non of my pages is linking to those contents before I deleted them, but that of backlinks I cannot say since they are coming from another sites.

Please regarding the crawl budget that google assigns to each site, does that mean if I updated my blog with new contents they wouldn't be crawled coz my crawl budget is exhausted?
This is because I do post content regularly on my blog.

And please, how do I resolve those non-existent pages errors?
