Finally, Webmasters Of Africa Is #1 On Google

http://www.google.com/search?q=african+webmasters

Now, all that's left is advertising on Nigerian radio/newspaper and possibly TV.  After that, I expect hits on the site to hit the roof 

Final chance to jump on board the WOA train 

my2cents,  nice one,  i always knew u were an SEO don.   

seun,
this is the link u shld be boasting about
http://www.google.com.ng/search?hl=en&q=nigerian+forums

oh! my bad

The good thing is, I never claimed to be a "don" 

So, igwe4life, feel free to dethrone what doesn't exist and good luck

As far as I am concerned, I don't really care about visitor rankings but my site's position on the SERPS based on KW searched.  In other words, if I get a -ve visitor ranking but get $10,000 from the one client who wants my services, then it's all good.

Of course, what the almighty igwe didn't divulge (then again, how could he, given his poor grammatical skills - ouch!) is that the "3 visitors per day" is an average, and not the actual.  Perhaps the true SEO don should have asked why the numbers are low.  It turns out, the only advertising I do for the site is on Nairaland so naturally, I expect numbers to be low.  *I will* advertise on Nigerian mass media this year and the numbers will definitely rise. 

Talking of the kettle calling the pot black, igweeeee, your blog was established in April 2006 but your profile page has only registered a whopping 440 views.  Woooow!  I bet the babes are salivating all over themselves with that kind of number   

Am I new to SEO? you bet.  I am still learning as I go.  But hey, for a newbie, you have to admit, I am making progress and like wine, I will only get better with age.

So igwe4life, keep on deluding yourself regarding your "don" status.  From personal experience, I can tell you are a blow-hard.  You are an alpha male, full of testosterone.  I mean what else do you expect from someone who likes "ursher (as opposed to "usher")" and Lord of the Rings

I will tell you this though: I got into a similar situation with one of my original sites, http://www.geocities.com/myibibio.  I got challenged by someone who had http://www.ibibiodictionary.org/.  His site barely got any visitor rankings but it was always above mine, even though the site has no content.  In the end, about 3 or so months later, my site reigned supreme.  And mind you, my site is hosted by geocities which, as you may know, isn't exactly the site SEs smile upon when it comes to organic SRs

Finally, some advice for you, igwe4 life.  The book, "Art of War" states (to paraphrase) that the winning general is the one who wins the war without firing a single shot.  Also, there is a chinese proverb which states that when a man is pointing at the moon, only the idiot looks at the finger.  I will try my best to ignore the personal attacks.  I won't sink to that level.  If you had posted something like, "my2cents perhaps you should do so and so to get better rankings", I probably would have listened to you more.

Good Luck on your SERPS domination!  I go pour libation for you when you do beat me (and you bet, I will be checking the SERPS daily from now on.  God help you if, come June 15 (I will dash you one extra day;)), you aren't on top.  Your reputation will definitely be at stake.  And hey, don't cheat by using your blog to do it.  That's the cheap way out

Point of correction, webmasters of africa is not number one on google. webmasters of africa is number one for the keyword chosen. There is a difference. lol I am not a big fan of SEO.

You optimize your site, I optimize my site, everybody optimzes their sites, well, we are all back on the same level fighting for traffic.

Thanks for accepting the correction.  Every page on the internet can be "number one" on Google on obscure terms.

igweeeee,

Keep whatever "skills" you have to yourself and your "networks of sites".  Your arrogance has turned me off.  If you feel so strongly about your "skills", apply them to your own sites.  What I said above is correct semantically and not gramatically.  Unlike you, I admit my faults upfront as I am humble to the core.

So go ahead with your claim to beat WOA.  YOu have 7 more days, and as I said, God help you if you do not beat me

between: I just did a search for "nafdac" on google and you did not come up on the first page.  As a rule, I do not go beyond page 1.  So sorry, you're out of luck in my books.  Again, I dey wait.  Also from your photo, you look like a certified yahoo boy and am beginning to think you employ black hat SEO techniques on your sites 

igweee,

thatz the whole point - I am not going to search on KWs that you give and in a certain order.  i will do search randomly and so far, you are losing.

Remember my chinese proverb from yesterday?  Just in case, I will repeat it: when a man is pointing at the moon, only the idiot looks at the finger.  Be advised.

Again, I am not competing with anyone, let alone you.  If you feel you have to beat me in order to get laid by your woman, go ahead.  We aren't in the same market space and doubt we will ever be.  So again, if what will get you circumcized, masai-style, is beating me in the SERPs rankings, be my guest 

u wan give up
it just got interesting
u SEO dons keep witting urselves, I'm learning a great deal and lovin it

u guys re wonderful

igwe no let me down oh!

krs1,

Thanks for taking the words out of my naive mouth 

Igwe,

Forgive me but I noticed the footnote later, and was able to visit your blogspot site. In any case, I do believe the heart and soul of my comments still stand. Cheers.

Finally Finally, Webmasters Of Africa Is #2 On Google,

Like i said any newbie can take you off Google's Serps if the search terms you're ranking for is not competitive, provided they know what they are doing.

I believe i had the last laugh

  Thank God my words are online, i said i will take over the top slots for the keyphrase "Webmasters of Africa" but will make it count as a plus for your website not mine & i have succeded, but i can see that a true Nigerian - you don't accept defeat ( Perhaps i rigged google.com results  ).

So loser go sulk somewhere else, i now own slots No 1, 2 & 4 on google for the keyphrase "Webmasters of Africa". By the way i saw ur thread about a Search Engine Marketing Strategy

I beg everyone to read that thread and see how my2cents dodged questions asked him by loungr & hola2ng, i think it shows the my2cents for what he really is - an incompetent webmaster incapable of understanding the basics of SEO/PPC.

This experience with my2cents has geared me up towards starting a free tutorial on how to start a profitable website or blog using both freely available resources and paid resources. It will commence on wednesday 20th june, 2007. Watch out!

Little boys, stop fighting. 

Afam,

What "Almighty" Igwe doesn't realize is that, from the get-go, I was never in competition with anyone.  My sole aim of putting up "Webmasters of Africa" was to promote the African Webmaster, and to hopefully get the world to outsource to us as opposed to the Asians.  From my web logs, I can see that the "Find a webmaster" page is the most visited.  If only such searches resulted in people actually getting hired, that would be great.   As I said earlier, I will be advertising the site during my next visit, even if it is for a .5 x .5 inch slot on a newspaper or a 2 second spot on the radio.  So to me, it's a win-win situation - I rank high, he ranks high.

Unfortunately, he has fallen for "big-manism".  I never claimed to be an SEO expert.  In fact, I never claim to be an expert on anything.  Should he have posted with comments like, "You know, there are better and faster ways to rank higher" or something like that, I would have been more responsive to him.  I personally hate arrogance and particular hate self-inflated egos.  But hey, I guess people are different.

So, if "beating" me is what will make him happy, let him have at it.  He is unfortunately justifying what many have said about the black race - we are like crabs in a basket.  The minute one tries to climb out, the others pull him back in.

Hello Igwe and everyone out there,
enough of all the bickering please. Its more useful if u guys can help brothers like me in here get good ranking and ultimately attaining our seperate bussiness goals.
Looking forward to any SEO help from anyone for my site,
Thanks
