Here's what I discovered and recommend after checking your blog:

1. Most of your blog posts are copied from other sites. to really make money from your blog or attract traffic, especially from serach engines, you must write unique content on your blog. copying and pasting will not take you anywhere. even if you source articles from other sites, write a unique version on your blog.

2. the template you use on your blog has a terrible layout and it's not responsive, especially when the web version is viewed. change that template with one that's responsive and has the right side-bar layout.

3.Create a facebook page or group for your blog and post daily job vacancy and [b]practical [/b]job search tips with a link to your blog. your traffic stats will increase.

4.Your about page needs some update as you used the . url to address your readers. Also, you used the term: "our" to state your objectives, mission and vision. Are you a team? If not, as I suspect, change it stating who you're and how you can help readers get their dream jobs.

People love to deal with a real person, so put a picture of yourself or team (as the case maybe) there. You can visit my about page to see how I structured mine, to give an idea.

5. Lastly, move your blog to the self-hosted version of Wordpress. Blogger has a lot of downsides that'll hider your success.

My blog is www.youmustgethealthy.com. It's a good health blog, I'm proud of it. I just want to get better and go ahead. So please take a look at it and tell me where I need to improve on.

Your blog looks okay to me but I must tell you this:

1. You're in a super-competitive niche that'll make it very hard, if not impossible, to gain traction. "Bigwigs" like about about.com, WebMD, MayoClinic, Health.com ... will never let you see the light of day. Even renowned SEO experts like Brian Dean couldn't make it in this niche, let alone you.

So, I advice you to either find a less competitive niche like natural weight loss remedies or target weight loss in Nigeria for your blog instead of going global.

2. Most of your blog posts are very short. These kind of post offer no help to readers. So, write well detailed post on each topic with stellar illustrations and explanations. This kind of posts ranks well in search engines and attract traffic from long tail keywords.

3. Do extensive keyword research and optimize your posts creatively for your target keywords.

4. On your about page, you use the word: "we", when you're a solo blogger. Please change it and tell readers who you're and how you can help them. You don't need to claim what you're not. Also, put a picture of yourself there.

5. Start promoting affiliate products with your affiliate link ASAP, there's no time to waste.

Regards,
Emmalexdboy.

Thanks for your observations and your opinions.
I will try to;

1. Ponder over switching to just Nigerian health topics. I usually target foreigners because Nigerians hardly care about health n fitness info. I'll just think about it first.

2. I make sure my posts are over 600words, but I'll improve on that.

3,4. I'll do just that.

5. I applied for AdSense and I got rejected, I plan on reapplying soon. If it doesn't work then I'll see about the affiliates.

Thanks Again.

If you're a copy and paste blogger, you'll definitely not go too far with your blog.

That's the fact! Google has zero tolerance for duplicate content and penalizes sites that practice this.

The layout of your blog looks nice but I have some recommendations you need to work on:

1. You don't have an about page on your blog, most readers will love to know the person behind a blog. So, create one.

2. Remove the sharing buttons on your contact page. Also, give readers many options (like phone no, email) to contact you. Not everyone loves filling a contact form. Visit my contact page for an idea.

3.I got numerous "Gateway Timeout" message while visiting your blog. Your web host is terrible, if you ask me. I advice you move to a more reliable web host. I recommend Siteground. I have a super detailed on my blog on how to set up a blog Wordpress using Siteground. Just ask and I'll provide the link

4. The author's name for your posts is Admin. Please change that, use your name. I hope you're not using "Admin" has your backend username?

5. You're in the health niche which is very competitive and will definitely crunch you no matter how had you try. So, I advice you to change the focus of your blog to one that caters for a Nigerian audience which is less competitive.

Emmalexdboy.

Your review is spot on bro
My host is a very terrible one as I get messages that my site is down almost every 3minutes.

The rest of your advice, I will work on them.. Though "about us page" is incorporated with contact us page.. i.e, if you place your mouse
on contact us page, it will highlight all the pages..i.e, privacy policy, contact us and about us.

Please I will appreciate if you can share me the link on how to use Siteground.

thank you.

The template of your new blog looks nice, you chose a very nice theme.

Also, your blog posts reads fine to me. Just make them a little detailed with useful illustrations and images. Aim 1000 words per post.

Add an about page, contact page and privacy policy page to your blog. It's very important.

As for registering your site to search engines, you don't need it as that doesn't guarantee you'll get traffic from search engines. According to Google, once you register a domain name or create a blog, they know.

So, don't bother yourself with that. Instead, implement this tips:

1. Leave comment on blogs that're related to your niche.
2. Promote your posts on facebook and other social media platforms.
3.Write guest posts on other blogs in your blog.

These tips will help your blog get indexed in search engines fast.

Lastly, move your blog to the self hosted version of wordpress. Your free blog will not take you anywhere as the monetization restriction is just too humane. I'm serious!

Read this post to fully understand why you should not start your blog on a free blogging platform: http://www.onlinebloggingincome.com/can-you-start-a-free-blog

Let me know if you have any questions.
