till the present day, its bn a success story in terms of site ranking, and i have noticed some webmasters trying to create forums showing lack of originality with nothing to show for the (photocopy) example WwW.nairaland.+net wwW.egusiland.COM this isnt to mock them but to emphpasise the importance of originality, why try to beat the devil in his own game when you can easily chose another form? LESSON 101 for webmasters, most people wants to start a forum that has same trafic as seun , whithin 2 months, forgetting you don't reap the same season you sow my illustration with what nairaland looked like should tell you this, simple but, effective, originality is the key!!seun has also launched other projects like Naijarita News, a fake news website that mocks everybody.He may as well be the first Nigerian to make enough from a website to justify running it full-time, because the site alone earns more than some graduates working in top banks. The whole point of this post is to emphasise (1.)gradual growth of a site (2. )originality you don't have to name your site koboland.go because nairaland is .come!! DEm no say make crase man no go farm but e fit bring anything come back?
