TRADELYN:

What of cases where one does not know the right source of the image...how to do proper referencing?
For instance, you see an image suitable for your post on Nairaland.

in that case, I really do not know but as far as I love giving credits I'd reference nairaland if that was where I curled the image. more knowledgeable guys can help us out.

Also, if I say...
Credit: Cnn, Punchng...isn't that enough since they are well recognised? Must one put the '.com' and which rule/policy supports this?

Well done.[/quote]

how will you feel if someone does that to u?
for me, I won't be too happy cos if you must use my intellectually property, try crediting me properly! at least u ain't paying.

Ihave them too, if you checked via the mobile version you might need to swipe out the menu by the left to see the top menu. But all the pages menu are easily shown in the desktop version. I had to push the menu to the side on mobile to accommodate more texts and content.

oh... I never saw them

Hi

I like your critical review of the blogs here, and I really admire your objectivity.

Although, I have been getting a lot on feedback on my blog, I'll need you to help do a detailed review of it.

I will appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.

first thing is I'd warn against taking the commendations from friends and family seriously. most of them are just to encourage you. Hence, if your feedbacks are coming from them, I want u to assume u aren't getting any feedback at all.

to your blog.
almost (if not all your pictures) aren't credited. did u design them all?

the layout of your home page too isn't that well structured. too many colours and shades to deal with.

lastly: though your scope is interesting but try going from basic to complex. why? you have too many sections And what dis did was to make some sections suffer from lack of content.

try working on them all

Many thanks for your feedback. They were constructive.

To answer question 1) 70% of my pictures are shot,edited, created by me. The remaining 30% are gotten from a graphics site where you can get pictures and graphic designs for "FREE". Reference or not.

2.) I want you to please clarify. How do you mean too colours and shades. Is it the background? the header part or the homepage interface. Clarifications will allow me make effective corrections.

Your number 3 feedback is the most confusing of all. Please explain more so I can work around it. For the other categories that are without content though. I am working on creating more contents for the categories. The new year holds great things, but what would you advise me do?

Remove the categories with insufficient content? or merge together with some other categories?

Your response would be invaluable.

Thanks a lot

dunno if you can just pick another theme. to me, that colour combination doesn't really fit your niche. + they look weak.
e.g the topics written in white have another sentence in red written beneath them. it's making everything messy.

Thanks, now to traffic stuffs...how's yours like? This is so crucial for anyone that wants to rank high, be popular and earn well.

Many having huge traffic don't like sharing FREE.

Anyone with useful strategy should share please.

hi gechyy2
I'm awed by your admiration.
I'm doing this cos I think the best thing a blogger can do is to try sharing what he/she knows with an open mind... the funny thing however is that what you think you know at times might be wrong. so wen you share, the least expected human corrects you.

TRADELYN:


Thanks, now to traffic...how's yours like?

40 views on the average per day. though this is low compared to others in the same niche but I'm happy. why? i'm sure I'd grow.

TRADELYN:

true... some are trying to be cautious but for me, i'd continue to share what works for me.

TRADELYN:

I do but I prefer whoever needs it to let us convers via Twitter pm.

@nomadic_negro is the handle.

Many thanks.
I like your being honest which is very rare online.

There is something that I'm curious to learn.
That's how to use text-based image.
For example, the image OP shared above can be placed in the comment box rather than through attachment.

Anyone to help please.

I loved what I saw on ur blog. you are really trying. but if you aren't the owner of those contents, I withdraw my commendations.
I suggest you can spice things up by doing more research cos when you continue writing quotes, people will feel you don't really have something to offer.

thanks.

OP! I just stumbled on this thread and have really been enlightened! I have been running my sports blog for 3 months now! and have high views! at a point i hit 40,000 views a day! But I applied for adsense and no response! I was so discouraged, can you pls do a review for me!

OBALORLA:

Straight to the point.
I have always wanted to own a sensibly unique blog which would contribute to already existing knowledge. On this note, I’d like to advise anybody intending to own a blog to desist from it, if what they want to blog about won’t add value.
If your sole aim as a new blogger is to make money, you won’t last long at all.

Here is how I got adsense approval within the first 5 months of creating my blog at my first attempt:

1. Read very wide about blogging and all other things that surrounds it before applying

I actually launched my blog on the 11th day of july 2016, but I have been reading different articles on/offline about blogging since December 2015. I read about ad sense for close to a month during this period.
What this habit helped me do was that it prevented me from making common mistakes people have made during their application process and how to avoid them.

2. After reading as many articles as possible, I was able to deduce that wordpress is the best if you really mean business.

3. Since it’s a travel blog, I looked for a very simple name which has the following qualities:
- Easy to spell
- Relates to my niche
4. I immediately searched google for websites that can help someone generate a comprehensive privacy policy page, while I did the contact us and about me page myself. According to my findings these are the 3 most important pages to have on a website or blog.

5. Create a social media profile for your blog. This indicates that your blog is now a separate entity from who you are. After creating this profiles, ensure you link them to the blog.


NB: you should only create social media platforms that will be useful to your niche. i.e if you know twitter will not really boost your visibility, ditch it.

6. Download the right plugins
I mean plugins that will prevent you from unauthorized users, prevent spam, and help with SEO.
Do not download the plugins you don’t need or the ones you don’t know how it works. And don’t download 2 plugins serving the same purpose. E.g you don’t need google sitemap if you already have yoast seo.


About content the type of content:

7. I want to presume you already have a vast knowledge about your chosen niche. So it shouldn’t be difficult for you to write posts that have at least 300 words (according to SEO standard). In my own case though, I write the average of 1k words per post.
8. Write contents that are engaging and unique because this will do 2 things for you:
- Your audience will be willing to drop comments and this is one indicator that your blog is actually useful
- They’d come back for more
Nb: nobody till date knows how many posts you really need to get approved. Nobody.
9. If you must insert images in your posts, make sure you completely give credit to the original owner. Did you notice I emphasized the word completely? It is that important. Same thing applies to borrowed quotes too.
10. Ensure you optimize your blog for both desktop and mobile. When I mean optimize, I mean your blog should both be mobile and desktop friendly.
11. Your loading time too shouldn’t be more than 4 seconds. People get pissed at blogs that.

These are the steps I followed to get me approved.

I want to add the following categories when I migrate: Entertainment, tech, webmaster,business & career,others...
