if you know with 100% assurance how Nairaland do its SEO hit here, let's talk 08033147591

Nairaland's SEO is mostly based on quality and authority links pointing to it.

Over the year they have accumulated a lot of links from authority websites and this is a big green signal for Google.

Also, the content in Nairaland is always fresh and new because it is a community and keeps updating with new articles.

Then comes the On-Page SEO aspect like the Webpage Fastness and Mobile Responsive.

As you already know, Nairaland is very fast in loading and very very mobile responsive. This is a big green light to Google because they love fast and mobile responsive sites.

I hope I answered your question>

All Nigerian webmasters only know how to design website, if you talk about SEO they know nothing to do, they will collect your money and just index your website on Google and that is all. Any few that try can only use wordpress plugin and when you are using php they are more confused than me

It's very irritating but I assure you there are few web developers like me that knows what SEO is all about.

Hi webmasters.

As a means to promote my business and probably reduce competition, I'm thinking of redirecting another domain to my existing website.


The domain was the one I planned to use initially, but was already claimed when I'm launching my site which makes me choose an alternative, which doesn't really justify the site.


I recently discovered the domain has expired and now open to new registrants and I want to claim it.


Is there any online tool, website or host that can automatically redirect the new domain to an existing domain without me needing to purchase a new hosting plan as I still have about 10 months for the current hosting and domain, plus many people already know about the current domain?

If there's any online service that I can use for this, kindly let me know

Thanks.

The only thing you need to do it to purchase the domain name then redirect it to your main domain name

Most importantly, your hosting provider would have a tutorial for it

Check this article for an elaborate explanation of DREAMHOSTS hosting

I hope this helps?

Hello nairalanders,

I need your help please. I have been trying to create my first website (for my business) for a long time now, and it's just not working out. I would have hired a professional, but I'm on a tight budget, so I have to do it myself.

All I've been able to do is buy a domain name from namecheap. I tried to get hosting from hostgator, and they're saying I have to pay $151 dollars. I thought I could do the whole thing for under 25000#. I think I'm doing something wrong, and any suggestions is most welcome

I want to really help you before you fall into the hands of some scammers out here on nairaland.

Listen, you can do it by yourself. You can go to w3programs.com and read up the well detailed tutorials that will guide you hand in hand to create your own business website.

But I won't lie to you. The fact is that it will cost you more than #2,500 but it is worth the investment.

Don't go and fall into some scammers here that will tell you to send them the #2,500 and they will pocket it and flew out of the wind.

Just go to w3programs.com now and learn it yourself, then JUST DO IT!

Because you can.

Kudos.

During these few years I have been into web developing I have noticed a trend in the eCommerce scene and also have been asked some questions over and over again by worried e-store sellers and entrepreneurs.

In this post I will list out the most common of the questions and profer their solutions so you don't go and make such mistakes.

Also, if you are already experincing those challenges, you can learn how to get out of it.

Let's roll...


Some Products Can't be Found on The E-Store

This is one of the popular challenges enountered by sellers and its very common for product heavy e-stores. A particular product can be showing when accessed with their exact URL but isn't anywhere to be found in their categories.

Solution: Is to check whether the product is still in stock, and replenish it if so. Also, make sure you enabled the products in the e-store. Check your caching and make sure they are up to date. Another simple way is to enable "display products when out of stock"


e-Store is Not Seen in Google Search Page

If your e-store is not visible on Google then thats a big problem because you will loose potential customers and also loose your reputation.

Solution: Are you sure you didn't do black-trick SEO because it might be a reason your e-store isn't appearing on Google? Also, make sure your website is mobile responsive and fast loading, then look into content marketing and link building to boost your e-store ranking.


My e-Store is Very Slow in Loading

This can be very distasteful for your potenital customers because they will leave your site and go to your competitor's. Unforutnetely, e-store slowness is mostly caused by bloated codes, unoptimized product images and unneccasary use of carousel sliders.

Solution: You need to have a caching system enabled in your website. Also, optimize your product images and make sure they are sized properly. Then remove bloated codes, make sure your JavaScript codes are in the footer section and all your CSS are in the header.


The 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

Sure, this is a common problem and usually shows itself when a new extension or plugin is installed in your e-store, or when you are trying to update your e-store and it got stuck in the maintenance mode.

Solution: First call is to contact your hosting service provider and they can help you fix that. Or you can get the service of a web developer and he will help you remove the maintenance file in the site and also clear all your caches for you.


I Broke my Site While Updating/Upgrading it!

This is also a common issue which can be avoided when proper planning and documentation is taken care of. This can be very annoying because at most times you will just get a white screen in your website with no clue as to whats wrong.

Solution: I strongly advise you have a backup of your e-store before attempting any update/upgrade. This will help you revert back to its former state should there be any problem with the new update/upgrade. Rule of thumb, let a good web developer handle all your e-store updates/upgrades for you.


Converting Shoppers into Paying Customers

What is an e-store without paying customers? It is really a nightmare if you noticed that you have huge traffic in your e-store but little or no sale.

Solution: Are you sure your checkout process is really working? It should be very simple and easy for your shoppers to go through the checkout process. I advise you use popular and reliable payment gateways like Paypal, Payooner, 2checkout, Paystack, and Stripe for this.


How do I Retain Customers And Get Repitive Sales?

There is a marketing mantra that says "Attracting new customers is more expenesive than retaining current ones." Sincerely, this is just the difference between big e-stores like Jumia, Konga, eBay, Walmart, and those numerous struggling e-store masses around the web.

Solution: Investing in an email marketing system and having a working plus optimized newsletter is a sure success key to repeated customer patronage. I strongly advise you use Aweber, or Mailchimp for your email newsetter and campaigns.

Last but not the least....


Choosing The Right and Scalable Technology

It really sucks when you find out that the technology platform you chooses for your e-store isn't scale-able now that your e-store is growing and your customers expanding. It is very OK to go with any basic thing you see out there when you are starting out just to save cost but not thinking long-term is a sure way to loosing more money and time.

Solution: Think long-term, use standard and reliable shopping cart solutions, and make sure you have a good content management system plus analytics up and running. I advise you use Shopify, Magento, Prestashop, or WordPress plus WooCommerce. Discuss your e-store long-term goals with your web developer and let him help you choose the best platform for your e-store.

In conclusion...

You can never go wrong if you work with a good and reliable web developer to manage and develop your e-store. He will help you make the right choices in designs and technical aspects and even suggest a good marketing strategy to take based on the platform you are operating on.


I am yours faithfully Mr Darlington a #Web_Developer with a difference

Is Shopping cart platform like Shopify, magento, opencart etc will be best for ecommerce site development or go with custom development Using PHP framework like CI, Laravel etc?

All the above mentioned shopping carts uses PHP for their server side codes.

You should know that using them is more cost effective and faster to startup than building from scratch.

dudebuck:
Sublime Text and Brackets are the best, I use the two simultaneously.

Seems you still didn't understand what i mean by using plain Notepad not Notepad++ for debugging your codes.

dudebuck:
Sublime Text 3 is and Brackets are the best code editors on Windows.

Maybe you should try using plain Notepad alone to juggle up your debugging skills.

Kudos.

good evening everyone, am just learning HTML for almost 4month nw, only reading PDF every time. pls can sumone help on exe apps I can install on my system so as to practice this things, I really want to dedicate my time for this... pls help a brother...

For the fact that you have taken a step in reading to learn, you are actually on your way to success.

I advise you get a laptop if you didnt have one now because it will make your learning faster.

Coding with HTML 5 and CSS 3 is really fun.

You need to download Notepad++
this is for writing the codes itself.

You need to download Chrome Browser
this is my recommended browser for checking your codes.

Then go to these sites below to learn and become an expert....

w3schools.com

html.net

codecademy.com

To your success..
