@my2centsOf 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. just checked and its now "2 visitors per day"  guess Nigerian mass media translated into negative advertising  Just kidding o. before u cut off my head abeg!

naijafan: Cut your head off say wetin happen?  It is quite possible that yes, the advertising didn't have the appropriate effect. Better yet, it could be that the target audience isn't one to patronize the channels I advertised on. Might also be that we would rather prefer community websites that have to do with relationships and sex as opposed to what could help us all develop. Who knows? As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I thought it was a good idea, but I guess not. Even Seun, if you've read his bio, started various online ventures before he stumbled upon the success that NL is. My consolation is that there are at least 150+ members all of whom get a monthly newsletter with tips to succeed in web dev, many have written to tell me that they are getting calls/emails from people who got their information from the WOA website (whether they have actually closed deals is another matter. I am yet to inquire about such) and most importantly, I have met (albeit virtually) a lot of smart and dedicated web developers many of whom, Lord willing, I will work with in one capacity or the other. As far as WOA goes, I will keep looking at the glass half-filled. Even if the site gets 0 visitors a day, I will still keep it up. I think it is worth it, even if, assuming it were a business, I were losing money. There, I cut off your head and left a little piece dangling so your head doesn't fall off. How does it feel? |

@webdezzi
All i wanted to proof was that anyone can easily rank for any stupid key phrase like my2cents did, sorry i can't provide you with any URLs of my money making websites because i don't want playa haters to trespass in my niches.
@my2cents

@nairalanders
please read this whole thread and see who the real trouble maker is, i just made an observation and suddenly my2cents tried suffocating me like Obasanjo did Atiku.
P.S I didn't post much since then cause i've been busy on some web projects lately. For those who really want to build and profit from their website look out tomorrow for a free series of tutorials on how to start a profitable website or blog.

i called up two php dudes from webmasters of africa for an interview where i work as well. nothing do you. if there's some form of interaction built into the site, it would keep its registered members coming back. my2cent need to take nairaland easy o, guys here are always looking for mistakes in everything you post so just ignore them man

sorry sir, but i was just pointing something out on a very light note.  @webdezzi

my2cent need to take nairaland easy o, guys here are always looking for mistakes in everything you post so just ignore them man Thanks man. I will add your testimonial to the growing list and will try to keep my mouth shut with respect to trouble makers. naijafan said: i called up two php dudes from webmasters of africa for an interview where i work as well. nothing do you. if there's some form of interaction built into the site, it would keep its registered members coming back. Yeah, the lack of interaction is where I took my eye off the ball. I have been thinking about opening up the source code to others so they can muck around with it and make the site better as I have too busy of late. Truth be told, WOA is my first PHP site and so I was focused more on learning PHP as opposed to offering features. I will note this for future projects (Igwe, see how constructive naijafan's comments are? ) naijafan also said: Do i sense inferiority complex in the air Huh I hereby second naijafan. Enough said. |

It's really painful that i will actually be particpating in a thread that was started almost a year ago,about 8 months later,Anyway thats by the way.
I am a big fan of jolly good fellows and my2cents is no exception.So you can call me a typical Nigerian Arsenal fan when it comes to issues regarding jolly good fellows like my2cents.
He's no SEO don, just a newbie who got lucky, if he was a SEO don he should note that the keyphrase "african webmasters" has no searches on Wordtracker so even if his website is the only site on the SERPS he wont get any visitor ranking for that term (no wonder he's getting only 3 visitors per day on his site, probably his own hits ), just for kicks i will dethrone his site in the SERPS within one week, i will takeover positions 1-3 on Google for the search phrase "african webmasters" to show who the real SEO Kings is.
Regarding's Igwe4life's above comment.I think it would really make sense if he threads softly and makes less enemies on public forums.I simply sensed bad blood,beef and irrelevant pride in that post. And was all the that about getting 3 visitors aday. Igwe4life go get yourself much more serious things to do rather trying to pull down.

Regarding your post earlier today above,It seems you claim to have been busy with web projects right ?Well just wondeing why a well established web developer like you is still attaching with sub domain on blogspot.com rather than have your won site.I am simpluy curious.
I am curiously waiting for you to start your tutorials on building and profit from websites.I just hope its not going to be all the regular tips on creating a free blog account like yours on blogspot.com
Lastly don't you think the photo on your NL profile ought to be changed its kind of of reminding me of a typical disclaimer photo in Daily Newspapers

Y'all should stop all this pointless bickering and navel gazing. Persistent verbal assault and battle of wits will not take Nigerian/African webmasters anywhere. Think about those just coming up, how can you encourage them? What about the intermediate guys, how can you help them to become experts? Let's all try and do something for the Nigerian webmaster (this is Nairaland right?)
