Frosti:

I seriously cant hold my laughter anymore.

Me too. I just realized the truism in the fact that you can't convince someone who's ignorant that he knows nothing. It's like trying to convince a drunk man that he's high.
What amused me is that the guy even told me he knows SEO more than I do.

@Graphicsplus: I've been studying SEO for the past three years. As of present I run four blogs, and they're all doing fine on Google. My latest blog, in the quit smoking niche is attracting traffic from search engines everyday because it's ranking on Google's front page for some target keywords.
I never paid an "SEO expert". I only expended minimal effort.
Have you ever heard of "Long tail keywords?" They're the secret to ranking on Google without serious SEO. Just so you know.
On the web today, Google is king, and that's why everyone wants to get ranked highly. Only Google can send targeted traffic on a consistent basis. So, get it clear bro.

GraphicsPlus: Google doesnt send traffic to websites. SEO does that. Google is a tool or platform.
If you dont know seo, google cannot rank you. Your site will be seen in search engine like google, but maybe on the 1000th page.

Okay, answer this question: SEO sends traffic to websites through what? Is Google/search engines not the answer?
It seems you don't just get the SEO thing. Maybe you start by searching Wikipedia for "Search engine optimization" to start with.
You've got some idea, but you still don't just get some things. And that's very obvious in your posts and argument so far.

GraphicsPlus: Without google and other search engines, seo is not useless. Someone will create another search engine web application.

But the bottom line is that SEARCH ENGINES (WHETHER GOOGLE OR NOT) BRING TRAFFIC. Agreed?

GraphicsPlus: When you do ur seo very well without commiting seo sin, you will organicaly rank well.

Good you raised that point. Now, I expect you to know that "organically" simply means "on search engines".
So, if ranking organically (on search engines such as Google) is the goal of optimization, would you now agree that Google and other search engines bring traffic?

GraphicsPlus: It may interest you to know that I know seo more than u think.
Google does not bring visitors to a website.
It's a good seo expert that brings visitors to a website.
Google search engine relies on good seo to rank a website.
So when you get your on and off page seo correctly, you will rank well in search engines.

Well it doesn't interest me because you don't sound as such. Even if you're an expert at SEO, some monster sites are just almost unshakeable. Why not try toppling wikipedia for any one-word keyword?
Without Google (and other search engines), an SEO expert is useless.
Of course, I'm not disputing the fact the both on-page and off-page factors boost Google rankings. In case you don't know, some keywords attract so little competition that mere on-page optimization will help you rank for them. I can cite instances of such pages that I optimized with only on-page factors and yet are on Google's front page.
If you insist Google doesn't bring visitors, why then are webmasters and bloggers striving to push their websites/blogs to Google's front page?
Which is the most popular search engine, if not Google?

GraphicsPlus: Google doesnt bring visitors to a website.

If you don't know how, why not simply ask?
I'll explain to you: If you target certain keywords and you attain a high Google ranking for such keywords, your link is shown on the front page of Google's result pages, where Googlers will see it and click on it.
So tell me, in that case, who brings the traffic?
Secondly, if you know how to use Google Analytics very well, check the traffic "sources" for search engine traffic. If you've been getting visits from Google, you'll see Google's name in the list of sources of search engine traffic.
If Google doesn't bring traffic, why is it referred to as a traffic "source" in such cases?
I hope you got it clearly now.
If you want to know how to easily position your posts on Google's front page, ask, and I'll explain to you.

marketingtips: the fastest way is to simply pay for the traffic
and sit back, while the traffic rolls in

I disagree with you. Paying for traffic or SEO will suck big time - sooner or later.

OP, what is the source of your claim? Google Analytics?

Although it's not monetized yet, my blog has been attracting clients. (I'm a freelance writer.)

And the total I earn monthly is enough to make a living.

marketingtips: @Basic, are you from nija

i don't need to write like an English man,

Even If i spell resporal OR Reciprocal linking
the most important thing is that you try use your
coconut , and understand say i was talking about
Reciproca Link building.

Abe Na you be the English Instructor for NairaLand

Anyway I think you got my point, ASAP My Blog, i don't do that,
instead my site that have blogs on them, i personally outsource the content,
Instead i create Blogs for people, so you want to see my design
not my blog to cross check if i have made 100 spelling mistake

but the fact is that most people will understand what i said

if true say you don't understand, let me explain again,
this time i will just copy and paste what the OP typed to avoid mistake,


i said reciprocal link is kind of old school and can be easily reverse engineered,
3 way reciprocal link will work fine, hope you get my point,i rest my case

Thanks for the notification mr English Instructor, i no come here for English Lesson

And you're not even ashamed to spew this BS? SMH.

Only a slowpoke would claim he understands his own words when others don't.

FYI, I don't have to be an English instructor to pick out your obvious blunders. Some primary school students can compose far better English than this.

There's nothing more pitiable than being stubbornly ignorant. You spelled "reciprocal" as "resporal" and you're assuming that others understood what you meant. Haba!

thelastPope: Am sorry to disagree. Seun is not Nigerian version of Zukerberg. Seun didn't invent anything nor did he innovate in any way. He simply installed a forum script at a time when Nigerians where just getting more internet aware and that was his luck. He is just a lucky and blessed guy but please don't equate him with Zukerberg. Watch the movie, social networks. Sincerely, NL hasn't improved much since 2006. I still see it as SMF. I have used far more innovative and intuitive forums and I still wonder why NL is so limited in functionality.

Thank you. But we love NL as it is, and we're not complaining. If you're not OK with it, create your own forum that won't be "limited in functionality".

I hope he comes. If he does, the monarchs WILL show how his ancestral roots can be traced to the area (or perhaps somewhere else in Nigeria).
I trust Nigerians monarchs. They know history too well.

Animals in human skin.

My friend, most repputable registrars won't accept LR.
I use namecheap, and I pay them with my GT create mastercard (just an ordinary savings account ATM card).
So, I think you should pay with acceptable cards instead.

And yet, some would still kick against scrapping this potential death sentence called NYSC.

SMH

SMH. You sound confused and disoriented!

So, let's analyse it mathematically. If 2 cows = 19 humans, then 1 cow = X humans. (Solve for X).
X = 19/2 = 9.5 (Approximately 10)
Therefore, to the Fulani man, a cow's life is equivalent to 10 human lives. Interestingly sad!
