3. Spam Comments Approval

Do you know that most of the comments you receive on your blog content are commented by spammers? Every blog’s get numerous comments on daily basis. And it is very difficult to know which ones are the real ones.
It’s better to accept less comment instead of approving more spam ones.

4. Too much Internal linking

5. Bounce Rate of Your blog

6. GEO location

Never select GEO targeting on your website or blog. You will not be getting global traffic. GEO location tar-getting is a feature in Google Webmasters Tools (search console) which target a particular country and optimize your website or blog in a specific country. If you have a blog which has content related to a particular country and you don’t want other countries visitors, therefore you can use GEO targetting.

7. Rich Snippets Absence in Blog Layout

Schema (Rich Snippets) helps search bot to understand what type of content you blog or site have.

Rich Snippets show your content like more reviews, product reviews and also add item scope tags.

8. Not Updating Blog contents

9.You have not registered on other Search engines

No doubt Google is the best search engine and almost 75% – 80% of any blog traffic is driven by Google. However Bing and yahoo are also after the Google. Therefore you should also optimize your blog or website for Yahoo and Bing search engine.

Optimization on Google though is not easy, but optimization on Yahoo and Bing is very simple.

10. Slow Blog Speed

Website page speed always matters because Search bot shows fast loading speed website than the slower ones on the top in the search result.
Optimizing page loading speed is not hard you just need to delete unwanted elements on your page. Remove unwanted style sheets and scripts.

Very good. Makes so much sense. I have a question. This article, http://www.mortalpoet.com/who-is-sympathetic-to-fulani-herdsmen/ have about 18 backlinks and the keyword is Fulani Herdsmen.

Yoast claimed one of the links in it has the same keyword and recommended a change of Keyword if we wanted the article to rank. How does that work?

I decided not to use another keyword. Every link there is worth it and I damned ranking for quality. I just need to understand how that really works.

Your site is cool, only the header has little issues (no logo or the one there is too wide). Your adsense can still get approved even after 8 months but u can still use another email to apply and try to reduce the images b4 applying
