If you read your books well you must have seen where big G said there are no penalties if you don't use nofollow, dofollow, sponsor rel tags. Read

This is new but not entirely true. If you still use a do-follow link to spam sites, you would still be penalized.

Besides, Google said they may no longer obey the NF order. That is, whenever the bots see a NF link, it may decide to still visit the site. Hence, it released other link types you mentioned.

What is an SEO content if not a content you write to rank?

Off-page, technical and on-page are all part of SEO and you can't talk about SEO content without considering them.

SEO content does not stop at on-page SEO.

Be guided!

OP is still withing the scope of his topic. He clearly pointed it out that he's talking on how to WRITE SEO articles. That is, just the writing aspect.

Hence, most of his points are valid because I have my reservations on some. The backlinks is actually important too and the rankbrain you mentioned is an algorithm that you cannot directly influence. If you've read about it, you will know that it is an algorithm that ranks your page based on how users interact with it. I can refer you to an article I wrote about it.

LSI and the likes are good too. Personally, I finish my writing before I bother about any SEO. Whenever I do this, I always discover that there is only little work left to do regarding SEO.

Summarily, search engines are out to please the users not you. Even if you optimize your websites but the content is rubbish, trust me, Rankbrain is present to take you back to where you belong- The SERP burial ground.

You called yourself SEO jagaban yet you wrote this.

I am sure you optimize with Yoast.

Yes, I wrote what I wrote. There are some topics that are straight to the point. You will only be beating around the Bush if u try to increase the word count.

Shalom!

I use Yoast but not everybody use it. Thanks.

You Only Live Once.

END OF THREAD![/quote]Actually, we live every day. But, You only die once

This is well detailed.
Using these strategies, even a 600-words article will rank well.

Wow. Good one bro

The first step in any local SEO campaign is to lay claim to the business and get it verified (so that others don’t infringe on the brand value or name of the company). For this you need to get on Google My Business (GMB) and get a ranking boost on Google Maps, Local Finder, and organic rankings.

Today we take a look at the optimization strategies to implement this in order to leverage the immense prowess of GMB.

Google my business (GMB) site optimization
Here are some tweaks you need to make to accurately optimize the site for GMB.

Set your primary button as ‘call now’ or ‘make appointment’.

Ensure that the keywords are present on the headline.

Ensure that some variation of the keyword is present on the description.

Add 2 to 3 keyword-rich articles for the primary keyword.

Link this “my business site” to your main site.

Add local or niche related outbound links.

Click on Google updates ==> Review updates to remove any incorrect information.
Post
Make sure that every article and blog post has its own URL. This will be important for interlinking.

Each post can be an entry point for link building.

Each post can be linked together to pass the page rank to your main website.

You should link the 1st post to your main website and subsequent posts to the previous post.

Add an image and call to action for better results.

Here are some ideas for your post

If you have an event, webinar, or conference, create an event post and let the world know about the start/end date and the relevant details. Make sure to create a link to the registration page.

For discounts and sales, create a ‘sale’ event post.

If you have a high performing blog post, write a mini-description and a link to the post.

For online retailers, they can display the image of a hot selling product and add a link to the purchase page.

Link Building
GMB sites can be iframed into the main website, press release, web 2.0 profiles etc. with iframes, it becomes easy to read reviews and publish answers.

Tiered links can be pointed at the pages with iframes.

You can also target the URLs of the post of your GMB site for link building.

You can also target the jump URLs of your GMB site for link building.

Only if all celebs can be like this. But then, everything needs to be balanced in this universe. The Bad will always try to balance out the Good.

How does everybody else cope in Nigeria?

How do other businesses that rely on electricity cope?

I freelance in my spare time, but this question reeks of attention seeking in my honest opinion.

Almost every Nigerian has to contend with epileptic power supply in one way or the other. From the small artisan shop around the corner to the big multinational companies in posh and lush locations.

A freelancer is no exception to the rule, neither is their struggle any different.

There's always that ONE person. Always!

Power is definitely a necessity for me as a writer. I do technical writing, hence, I spend a large chunk of the time researching about the subject matter online which is usually power consuming.

At least, for now my saving grace is because I'm based in an academic environment. FUTA to be precise. Sufficient power is available on most days, coupled with free access to the WiFi.

In summary, I don't have any generator

Recently, I’ve been constantly visiting the websites of different hosting companies, because I wanted to change my web host. The one I am presently on has a lot of downtime and the load time is slower than normal. We all know the effect of that on my SEO.

During this period, something happened. Immediately I visited these sites and left, they followed me everywhere till date. By everywhere, I meant everywhere I visit on the web, I find them there. Advertisements is a very popular term and companies invest so much on it. In fact, some big companies invest millions of naira on advertisement every month because of the kind of return it’s likely to bring in.

the issue has taken almost a week now

Please, my blog has been down for like 2 weeks now. These ba5tasrd5 sent a mail to me now asking me to renew my plan. This is not fair at all. No apologies. Nothing.

Contents with text and relevant images (preferably optimized) are more engaging than contents with just texts alone. Image can affect 3 things on your site;

(i) Performance. (ii) Appearance. (iii) Scalability,

Despite the fact that you want to engage your readers with rich contents, you don’t want to do anything that will negatively affect your SEO ranks.

Even though the image is relevant and illustrative, if it is not optimized for search engines it will definitely affect your site page speed.
3 Popular Image Formats used on the Web

JPEG: It is short for Joint Photographic Experts Group. This acronym was coined in the 1986. Majorly, this format is great for displaying complex photographs that include a lot of colors.

PNG: It is an acronym for Portable Network Graphics. The number of colors supported by this format (millions of colors, by the way), are lesser than that of JPEG.

GIF: Graphics Interchange Format. Oh God, this format single-handedly transformed the meme world. They can be compressed too but they usually don’t yield desirable or excellent result.

STEPS FOR OPTIMIZING YOUR IMAGES FOR SEO

1. Image filename customization: When search engines are crawling your site, image itself is not indexed but the filename can be seen by the crawlers. With this, crawlers will be able to have an idea of what that image is there for.

Hence, it is very important to rename the images before uploading it to your site because it is also an essential SEO practice.

While you are renaming it, you can include the keyword of the page as the name (this is not compulsorily a must, only use it if it is applicable).

2. Image size compression: Compressing images may affect the quality negatively if it is not done with caution. How can you do this?
Personally, I use TinyJpg.

This limitedly free tool can compress your image by 86% and the resulting image quality will still be dope.

3. Alt tags for image: With alt tags, you can give a description of the images to search engines. Search engines check alt tags and consider this a metric for ranking pages since it is used to optimize the image.

4. Adding image to sitemap: Sitemap is another way to aid and hasten the rate at which search engines crawl and index your web pages.

What most sitemaps contain are links to the pages on the website, and when you add to map your pages, the images in these pages are also added. This is also a great way of optimizing your images

FINAL NOTE
In this piece, you must have learnt what image optimization is and how you can do it.

The benefits of optimizing your images can not be over emphasized; hence, more reasons why bloggers need to pay attention to it.
Are there any other methods you are currently using to optimize your images? Do well by telling us in the comment section below.

Pretty straight-forward write up, and concisely put too!

Thanks

When I started my blog, I discovered that there were 2 active versions for the domain. If you used URLs like; http: //www .seojagaban.com or http: //seojagaban.com in the address bar, it would take you to my blog’s homepage. Cool right?

Interestingly again, in my bid to prevent Chrome from marking my site as ‘not secure’ and robbing me of the little traffic that I am yet to have, I got an SSL certificate for my website. This solved the security problem but also compounded the previous one. The domain versions moved up to 4. I now had URLs like; http: //www .seojagaban.com, http:// seojagaban.com, https:// www. seojagaban.com and https:// seojagaban.com.

Do you know the implication of this?

Implications of having different domain versions

Search engines rely on the number of links pointing to your site to determine how authoritative your site is. Definitely, no one will link their site to another site that is not of importance to them or does not contain any valuable information.

Google sees these versions as different URLs, hence, they are all given different ranks. For instance, if more websites link to ‘www. seojagaban.com’ than the rest, do you know what will happen?

Fairly, Google will divide this link equity between all the versions of your domain. At the end of the day, the equity meant for one is effectively shared among 2 or 4, depending on how GENEROUS you want to be.

You may be thinking that this is a single domain, with the same content. Yes, looking at it that way, they are the same, but technically, they are not. For instance, ;https’ is different from ‘http’ because one is secured and the other is not.

Do you dig me now? Good!


How can I redirect other domain versions to a particular one?

If you are serious with SEO, then you probably must take this issue seriously. There are different ways you can achieve this, depending on how proficient your programming skill is.

Some programmers can go to the .htaccess file and effect the change directly. Unfortunately, you may not be able to do that because that’s not your specialty.

Well, there are plugins you can use if your site is hosted on CMS like wordpress, wix, etc. I’m sure this sounds cool and easier for you, since a plugin can do the the work. All you just need to do is upload the plugin and let it do the work.

Plugins can fail, in fact, it does break some of the time. Peradventure if the plugin stopped working already and you are not aware, then you will be back to square one.

Personally, I don’t recommend using plugins, but if you still want to go ahead and use it, check redirect for wordpress.

Now, what is the alternative?

It’s simple, you can effect this stage directly in the cPanel account of your web host. Did you know? Thankfully, I am informing you now and I will walk you through the process.

Not only that, you can also use this method to redirect other pages within your site too.

You can watch this video to see the steps.

Conclusion

Finally, you’ve solved one of the problems behind poor SEO. I’m happy too! (winks). I successfully redirected http to https from cPanel.

I hope this was able to help you the redirection successfully? If you encountered any problem while doing this, please drop your message in the comment section and I will SWIFTLY reply you.

Yeah I do...But he' doesn't deal in anything less than $100, due to rate of scams currently

Okay. How can I reach you. Should I send a pm?

yizzyweezy:
1- Check to ensure the account is not limited..

2- If you're still having issues withdrawing & it's not so much of a large sum, create a new Paypal account and set up a dummy shopify store (cost $0), and simulate a transaction for a product with the paypal acct, so it gets sent to the new one, then transfer from the new one to online exchangers

3- If the acct is limited, you may have to give Paypal the documents they require, and may be forced to fake it..

Chai. Thanks tho.

But I don't even mind collecting my funds directly into a trusted exchanger's account. Do you have any?

I asked someone to get me a Paypal account, so he opened UAE PayPal business account for me.

Then, I linked it to my GTb MasterCard. When I tried to withdraw, I was asked to link a bank account. So, I went baq to the guy who created the account for me. He said I should link it to a Visa card instead.

Since last night till now, I've tried 2 Visa cards- Fidelity bank and Diamond bank. But, the 2 cards were declined.

After these, I opted for another way, that is, I tried to send the money to another PayPal account. Unfortunately again, the transaction did not go through. So, there's no way I can withdraw through an exchanger.

Please, does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

I was forced to open the account since it was the most convenient means of payment for my clients. Now I'm stuck.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing disturbing about this!
It all depends on the information you feed to your phone (search history)

Not everyone phone shows that.

(Perhaps, you've been making lots of research about benz and pants in recent times!) [/quote]That's not the main reason behind the auto completion. It means a lot of people have been talking about it so the RankBrain is guessing you have the same question. Try something else and see. SEO experts use this method to research keywords and topics.

Both APC and PDP knew about the postponement. Oshiomole is angry because he didn't expect PDP to know.

PDP didn't give any party agent money on Friday, neither did APC. That was when i knew something fishy was going on...

This election might be postponed again..

Lol. APC gave their agents money o. They asked them to return it sha when d election was postponed. It was around 120k per unit.
