Hello,
I don't know if this is the best section to post this, if not please do forgive moi...
Am just starting blogging and need to use some screenshots from my tablet and laptop on some posta.
However these pictures are quite large in size and size.
Please someone should recommend,
What can I use to reduce the size of these pics(save bandwidth) and resize them to smaller resolutions.pls help your fellow brother.
Thanks.

you can use microsoft paint if you are using pc. But since you said you are using tablet, if its android, then download photo editing app from paystore

that is clearly a photoshoped background. its clear for a new born baby to know its photishoped.

I have gone through your site via mobile only. you are making use of default mobile view. its cool. you need to find solution for the floating social media buttons on mobile because it overlap in the posts. it covers some area and blocks contents. also, it appears you did not add share buttons on mobile view, am not talking about the floating one you added that is overlapping. so add share buttons to display on each post as usual.

there is no related post on Mobile. you should add related post to the template. it enables visitors to see more related articles that interest them.

i have an AdSense approved account, but i don't know how to set up to display ads on my blog. google recently approved my blog but the adverts are not showing. and am wondering where am getting it all wrong. can someone please tell me the steps or what to do. infact i need help. having adsense and not make money from it is like having and oil well and yet your are poor. help me please.

are you sure you've been approved fully or you are facing the second phase in approval process. In second approval, ads won't display, it will only display in blank while they monitor it. At this stage, its either they approve or disapprove you. But if you've been fully approved, then you have to create an ads unit and insert in your blog. Login to your adsense account to create an ads unit

Nairalanders pls help me review my blog

http://www.ngschoolgists.com

all corrections are.highly welcomed....thanks in advance

i did not check it on pc because am using mobile. The site is mobile responsive but you need to replace the related post thumbnail with just link related post because its making the loading of your site slow. You also need to work on your share buttons because visitors won't be able to identify them since they don't display the social media names. It only displays the buttons.

You should also add the category gadget to enable visitors navigate through other topics on your mobile view

Obagoblog:

Linzo:

Obagoblog:
Am sorry for derailing. Bro, can you please mention the tools you always use for keyword researching... an probably the link tutorial
Thanks in anticipation

market samurai can be of help to your questions. Although google has changed their keyword monthly searches to display result in ranges instead of actual. Now it is some how difficult to identify the actual search result for a particular keyword since it displays in range. Example, instead of displaying actual search result for a keyword of maybe 1200 searches every month, it will display it as ranges of 1000-2000, so you wont know if the searches is 1200 or 2000 or less. This makes it difficult to identify except you will have to run advert campaigns on adword before you are allowed to see actual keyword searches.

randomShek:
I meant moving to a self hosted blog on wordpress.org

ok. Better if you have the resources to maintain it

remiproxy:
baba what is the effect of buying Adsense and also can u differentiate between naija and USA Adsense act.. plz, ah know say u be boss

you may get scammed. the home address and country in the settings will differiate it. Also, they may ask you for tax id usa while nigerian don't require such.

randomShek:
Considered this already...But figured it would be easier moving to .org from .com. Plus I'm still testing waters

why using .org when you can use .com

randomShek:
Nice job. Check out mine www.randomshek.

i will advise you to use in order not to waste your time in the long run except you want to use one of wordpress premium service which still is not advisable

Ethanplanet:

Hi there webmasters,

I owe a blog on SEO, blogging niche which I named [url]pcmate.org[/url]. Now I want my blog name to be appeared when people search on google for query "pcmate". I have searched for that. and pcmate it stands for a grahpic card (totally not related with my blog).

What suggestion can you give me to send my blog name on the first page of google. I want this because it will help me to be remembered as brand name. Thanks everybody

you are funny bro. You blog on seo topics but asking for how to carry out seo on your blog name. Really funny. Well, you may want to write a welcome message introducing your blog with the pcmate as keyword. Your write up should be based on using pcmate as your keyword and with time, you will get the result you are looking for

Temolad:
you haven't reply to the topic. Is wordpress, joomla, html site not rendering free hosting platform too? Why .com most blogger use?

you can't compare google free hosting of blogger with installing of script that can consume lots of server load. Google blogger is different from free hosting since most of the template used on blogger does not contains heavy script and files.

More over, nigerians love free stuffs and also, dollar exchange rate is really one issue that makes us to use . If one wants to use nigerian hosting provider, they are not trust worthy.

is free, all you need is a domain name to attach to it and you are good to go. Also, most bloggers just want to use a platform that is not too complicated to work with onlike joomla, drupal, wordpress, you need some basic maintenance skills like troubleshooting your web server to find fault during error and problems arising from plugins, themes, modules, extensions and also html knowledge is needed.

is also a good platform to start on low budget before they start making money from their blog. The rate of bloggers who quited blogging as a result of using the wrong platform like wordpress at the right time is higher than before since the price of dollar increased without warning.


How many bloggers would love to spend thousands of naira for hosting without making a dime within a year, this is one reasons why they make use of since its free, even if they quit, they have nothing to loose and they can come back later to try again and again


some people are not tech savvy, so they only need a platform they can share their thoughts about what they know how to do best. Blogger does good job for them.

kutalian:
Please i need a site to start blogging,any mentor to guide me?.base on Farming.

Jejelomoekonlo:
GOOD AFTERNOON
please which ATM CARD can i use to buy a domain on godaddy ?

you may want to try gtbank since they still allow $100 monthly spending limit

you can either get views from people who browse through youtube for video. If you have something interesting, at times you need to boost your video views to certain level to enable it draw attention for others to view, this brings you to the second option which is to boost youtube views. I can render this service for you if you are willing to do that. Many foreign musicians and celebrities does it. This one is not free

Clementor:
So .com is beta than ?

if you want peace of mind and have plans for your blog or website, i will recommend out of the two option. Wordpress ban is nothing to write home about. Most bloggers that blogs on , sharing copyrighted contents cannot try such with without getting ban instantly

emyddon:
Bro, WordPress remains the best platform in the world, the limitations you highlighted is for the free platform(), but WordPress.org is more flexible, all you have to do is pay for the services.

both of you are still saying same thing. The op wrote it clearly in his title that he is referring to which should tell you that it is the free wordpress version, not self hosted.

CallMeNJay:
Misleading Headline

Wordpress remains d best

there is nothing misleading. Most bloggers don't understand that wordpress has 2 version which is which serve as free subdomain version just like while the other version is wordpress script which can be downloaded from wordpress.org and this is what most website and news blogs are using. Its self hosted and requires you to purchase an hosting plan to install it. This is the one most bloggers know while they mistake it to be . I often recommend bloggers to use blogger instead of due to its limitations. It would be a waste of time using in the long run except you plan to use one of their premium plans

FairDude:
Please MODS do not ban me. Iam not trying to promote gambling here.
Please can anyone help me out. I placed a bet from my phone with the money I deposited in my 9ja bet account. Do I still have to print my coupon from an agents shop.
Secondly how do I know I have won a bet. Are there any notifications in the app?

if you stake it online, then no need printing any slip. To check if you won or lose, login to your account, click on Bets. There you will find all the slip you have. Click the small arrow button close to it to view

My point is, its not only Content that brings Trust and also if you have Good content Google might still not Trust your website and you won't Rank . In SEO some website with low authority are Flaged 80% and above Risked which means if you backlink from such website your website will loose its integrity and when that happens your website as lost its trust and won't Rank .

Which means Trust is still the King ! You don't need to have too yelling Content to Rank Even your competitors might have better Content and still not Rank because Google Trust you more than Them .

Hope you understand Trust is the King

bro, my point is not whether its good or bad content. My point is that as long as there is content on the blog or website, then the rest follows. Even P*rn website get ranked well and google trust some of them. This is because there is content in it, its not empty

akinjuly77:
A single page with a content ranks very well on Google ! Hope you know !

you've just said it bro, you are contradicting yourself. You said a single page with a content ranks very well in google. That is it. The page is not empty, it is made up of contents that can be used to carry out seo and other hidden strategies. The page won't rank well if there is no content at all. Why don't you create a single page without contents in title, description, header logo and body and then fire it up with backlinks and see if it will rank well or if google will trust it for any keyword.
