Don't mind them, they are amateurs

Exactly cuz if you want to argue that automatic is better, it shouldn't even be those sort of arguments. People don't know that being able to drive manual vehicles is a life saving skill

Wait it seems the top commenters can't drive manual at all cux what's all these with manual cars are not comfortable on interstate travels...experience bla bla bla??

Manual cars are even more enjoyable on interstate trips. Drove my dad's 1987 Camry for years before he got a 09 Sequoia and that machine was a horse on long trips.

Manual drivers and expert drivers know you don't shift too frequently on long trips and there is this vibe and style that comes with shifting gears. It's a whole lot of experience! so fun that some manual drivers even love shifting for fun, I usually, unnecessary cruise in neutral when I am downhill just for the fun of holding the hear more often than needed🤣🤣🤣

And my! Have you seen a pretty girl shifting gears before? 🤣 not the one time gear shift in automatic but the frequent shifting and caressing of the gear lever especially if she's putting a lot of finesse into it😊😊😊

Automatic could be better if you are looking at modern cars but those arguments up there have nothing on manual at all.

Sequoia trees are not native to Russia. They were planted as experiments meant to be cut down. Your island must be in the Black Sea where the cold is not so much because that tree does not do well in cold

Oakland on the other hand is a millionaire suburb in Los Angeles where the trees are meant to be part of the environment permanently

Far to the north people work in Alaska and Canada felling giant giant pine trees all the time


Different places different rules

Think about it before you run your mouth

Even mangos are not native to Nigeria but are now everywhere. I used that very example because Sequoia are the largest in the world and was stunned when I first saw one.

Now you are changing the vibe now that you know I am not a local Chief like your father.

Oak tree my foot! I bet you have never even seen a sequoia...🤣 yet you assumed everyone is as local as you.

I think you should reason well and use what's in your skull before you run your tongue online.

I hate the putting hand on shoulder. Kinda like a power move on renos part. Wonder what should have been the body response to that.

Put your hand on him too. That's what I always do to people when they act senseless and insensitive like that towards me. Just put my hand around their neck.

Oakland prides it's on its trees and most are giant oak... Mighty trees bigger than your iroko trees

An oak tree of 100 years is still young. Whatever replacement they planted not mature by the time their grandchildren get old. The damage was really deep for the community

Here in Nigeria where you people destroy every forest and cut down every tree for firewood you will not understand

... I am based in Russia and I work on an island every winter. Large pines, Sequoia and numerous trees in the taiga.
Please read again and think about it...before running mouth

Bro, social media is dead. You can't compete with the big guns. You don't have to lie about your stats either. Even with 500k users, you won't have the time to be posting this here talkmore of 10million users you are claiming.

I bet you are new to the game. Many of us here retired on wapka probably about a decade ago!

Very harsh judgement if you ask me. Our ecosystem has to be protected no doubt, but if you suddenly decide to invoke and enforce a law that you have not enforced for years and then come up with this sum of fine hmmm sounds like some racist shit.

By the way, people think Africa contributes immensely to global warming cux our mothers used firewood? Dey play, these white people burned trees, sometimes 24/7 for centuries to keep themselves warm in winter.

Why is this not marked as a sponsored post?

Very informative write-up though

Don't blame him, not everyone is cut-out to be an entrepreneur

Roots and herbs are more effective than pharmaceutical products. The rejection of the former and the acceptance of the later contributes to the death rate.

Do you have data/study to back up this claim?

I don't understand your question/statement sir

Rasynimer:
any idea how we can get citation please suggest. was wondering how thw getting cited works. and what kind of links to build

You have to try a lot of thing, broad targeting at first and then niche down on what's working. Product reviews and home decors seem to be getting cited easily though

Onuimo1:
I love reading your write ups. You're good at what you.
I hope and believe I will do one or two things with you.
Though I've communicated with you via Whatsapp.
I'll do some things with you, you're good at SEO.

I updated the article😊

But there is one thing I am most happy about and it solidifies my point of why traffic on premium niche is gold and high value.

My platform is a SaaS platform and all these SEO thing is just an organic traffic source I am building as part of distribution. Now it's becoming effective because even with the little traffic I currently have, I am already getting people joining the waitlist for the products some of whom are company founders in France, USA and Australia. Now take note that these people are joining a the waitlist for a product that cost $699 and hasn;t even been built yet! I guess we can say this is the power of SEO

But the most important thing is that I continue to get traffic from backlinks and other quality sources. Infact, from my traffic metrics melow (many of which are bots but I have explained in previous posts why I am not blocking bots and why they are actually very good for SEO in 2026) You could see that I am even ranking on duckduckgo search engine and getting traffic from it.

It seem many of you are following my links on nairaland too and I appreciate you for that

My CTR on bing is already awesome but I could definitely get a more clicks by ensuring more articles reach the front page. Although I suppose the reason why I have a good CTR on bing is because most users using bing are desktop users, they scroll more, more results fits on the screen and they generally click more. But considering how well bing is indexing my site and showing me in their search AI answers, I definitely should be getting more impressions which will automatically fix the click issues since CTR is already great. This is one of those tasks I am building into my click agent and I will be glad to share more results with you as soon as I have it deployed.

Okay, so let's go into the update of the day!

So, a lot of people reached out—some completely intrigued, others inspired, and a few were actually the very jealous ones: the supposed "SEO experts" who actually can't even get Google to accept them, and whose impressions and clicks are awful. These people, however, are the ones I want to address with my recent achievements on my platform.

However, we need to clarify a few things about SEO.
1. Quantity is often inferior to quality.
2. Niche is everything! Keywords are second.
3. Blogging isn't just about monetization via ad networks like AdSense, Mediavine, and the rest. Sometimes, SaaS founders and product developers create blogs specifically to build distribution channels for their products.
4. SEO changes every single day. The true SEO expert is the one utilizing AI or computer-informed learning techniques to ensure that their processes adapt to every single change happening on SERPs daily. I have had "experts" message me about techniques that have been obsolete for over two years. One such example is people cautioning against the mass production of content. Google itself does not inherently care if content is mass-produced; they care about the quality of individual content pieces and how well they adhere to the E-E-A-T rule (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness). If you are generating bulk content that lacks value, you will be penalized for quality, not quantity.

Also, I have seen people tell me that my backlink profile is very strong and that I should be getting close to 500 daily clicks on SERPs. This is true, but my platform is not a "true blog" in the traditional sense; it is a content distribution engine for a SaaS product I am developing, and this distinction matters a lot. I indeed have a very good backlink profile, but I am also competing for established keywords. In fact, I am competing for keywords that are dominated by names like Forbes, Zoho CRM, HubSpot, Claude, etc. The big guns! This means I am not trying to cluster around some cheap keywords or long-tail keywords for AdSense money; I am actually going after a pre-defined list of keywords regardless of how hard they are to rank for. Only experts have the guts for this!

You see, I am in a niche with a CPM of about $80 to $300 on premium ad networks like Mediavine and Raptive. If I ever decide to monetize with them, a thousand daily visitors would fetch me about a hundred dollars to 300 dollars daily, or $3,000 to about $9,000 monthly. That's about 4m to 12m a month in Naira. Compared to music blogs, education blogs, and other micro-niche blogs that often only get about $2 CPM on AdSense and $8 CPM on premium ad networks (these niche blogs often find it hard to get on premium networks because they lack US traffic or high purchasing power audiences).

What does this mean? Well, this is quite technical and complex, and it's a mistake most newbies and supposed experts make. To start with, I do not call myself an expert; I am only an expert at building links, and I continue to learn on the fly. Most newbies try to go for music blogs or entertainment niches, then they start seeing a lot of clicks and feel like they are way ahead of business blogs, but they are not.

First of all, take a music blog, for example. The value or purchasing power of that individual searching for a song is close to zero. Someone searching for a song on Google probably just wants to listen to it and disappear, not pay for anything. In fact, they might be trying to download the song for free in the first place because they can't afford a streaming service fee.

Secondly, years ago when Google Answers (and subsequently Featured Snippets/AI Overviews) were introduced, CTR reduced significantly for a lot of premium niches like business, but not necessarily for music. If I am searching for a song from my favorite musician, Kizz Daniel, Google knows I just want that song, not some bullshit answer or AI snippet. This means that a lot of SERP blog links are closer to the top and visible to me (no AI snippet/overview, no Google Answers) because it's music, bro! It's not a question.

For premium niches, however, someone searching for "business intelligence software" on Google definitely wants to pay for something or convert on something. If he is from the USA, he probably has about a thousand-dollar yearly budget, especially if it's in a B2B niche. However, business search queries often trigger AI Overviews and Google Answers, which means even the result in position one gets pushed further down, and people don't scroll that far. Do you get the logic?

This explains why premium search queries get fewer clicks, and it is, in part, why their traffic is very premium—although the main reason for that is search intent and the budget of the individuals making those queries. Studies have shown that for high-intent B2B keywords, the presence of AI Overviews can reduce organic click-through rates by nearly 10-20% for top-ranking pages, making the competition for that top spot even fiercer.

On my part, I have had to battle each of these limitations. Within the last three months, I moved my average positioning from 15.6 to 7! with the best positioning being position 2.4! Even for premium keywords!

But if you read some of my previous posts, you'd actually notice where I mentioned that my initial method is to win on impressions first, as I am not bothered about clicks yet. Now, here's another big mistake newbies make: In SEO, you cannot win on multiple fronts at the same time. You must handle one problem at a time, test, iterate, and see what works. I managed to automate the process. However, time is still a factor. New blogs shouldn't be competing for clicks immediately; you need the exposure first, otherwise, you could kill an actual Google momentum that only needed time to yield results because you felt you had to change things prematurely.

However, I decided eight days ago to now deal with the click issues. I am getting traffic from backlinks and other sources, but I want to win on SERPs starting from this month. This led me to start developing the "Click Agent."

Unlike how it sounds, the Click Agent is not a clicking bot. In fact, in order not to pollute my metrics, I do not search for my website on Google, nor other search engines. It's a rule of thumb for me. The Click Agent is another cron automation job I am coding in PHP/Python using Redis infrastructure, and it will basically pull click datasets from proprietary sources, pull my Google Search Console data, make inferences, and rewrite the meta description and title of each of my contents—especially the ones that are already ranking—to optimize them for high CTR.

I have started running a few experiments even before deploying the cron job, and I have started seeing results (manual experiments on about five pages). I have over 1k+ pages indexed on Google, so imagine when this agent, currently still training itself on established data, starts making these improvements on all 1k+ pages.

From the screenshot below, you could see that the total number of clicks in the last seven days is a very high percentage of the total amount of clicks in all previous 3 months of existence with over a 100% increase in the last 24 hours which means my experiment with the click agent worked and I just have to deploy it now and make it automated. Although I also noticed my Average position in the last 24 hours dropped but this is actually a good metric! It means the fixes I made has now surfaced new articles on the front page of google where impressions are counted. They are not ranking so well yet but I have another cron job automation dedicated to picking up such articles and optimizing them. The coming weeks will sure be interesting.

Some persons has come to argue that raising kids in a public yard corrupts them to which I don't holistically agree to.
What do you think,does raising kids in a public yard truly affect them negatively?
Your thoughts...

Obviously depends on the type of other people in the yard, but often, such yards are filled with kids of people battling poverty, people with less exposure and dangerous views about life. Inherently, this vibe tell on their kids, you could be living there for a different reason but should your kids be allowed to roam, they will definitely inculcate many of these behaviours.

Therefore, like many questions, the answer you are looking for is totally based on several other factors. You should make your findings and also determine to what extent you'd allow your kids to roam.
