Done, thanks for the Heads Up

You're welcome

You can't feel sorry for a snake charmer if his snake bits him.

You know how they feel about you and you still went there. Deal with your problem, you knew the risk.

Go to a country that is friendly to immigrants.

That is not UK.

2m isn't much. Think of a way to earn your own money before you find a job because there are other struggling people in those countries.

okeke00:
happen been to dakar in senegal, i can testify that they have the most sexiest ladies in africa, and i know there are a lot of nigerians there, my question now is how you guys struggle with the pressure of those beautiful ladies?

It is the other way around (depending on what part of Nigeria you are in). I love Senegal but Nigerian girls are far more beautiful.

Vickwinners:
True.

A whole lot of changes is ongoing as we speak.

Google algorithm is getting really sophisticated. Like you mentioned earlier, right now, Google places more emphasis on E.A.T, to get the best results for users on each search request.

This is going to make it more difficult for new domains to rank, compared to what it was before now...

I am sure you use WordPress but if you have a Blogger () site, try their new design, you would noticed they totally ignored links on statistic page and focused (at the top), on recent blogs published, and if you click on the post, each has more detailed stats specific to that post. Hencefore, they wouldn't care about links but instead quality content and human behavior (if people are bouncing off after landing).

Thanks for the encouragement. I have been blogging at [url]workmoneyfun.com[/url] for few years but still it's difficult to rank and get organic traffic. I feel that i am missing longer content on my blog., hence, planning to include longer articles in my blog next. Hope longer content will help to rank higher in SERP results.

The best direction I would advise you (based on your niche) is to make a professional "About Me" page. Write a small 50 page book and self publish on Kindle, find a podcast that would host you for one episode and guest blog for someone.... Why? (you may ask)... Because of Google E.A.T algorithm update Read about it and get ahead of the competition because that is what would hit the internet in 2020.

Beside, you have zero content. If your intention is to talk about Finance, you better stop until you have build your name because from next year, Google would not play with what they call advise regarding "your money or your life". That means, if your blog gives medical advise, you are automatically shadow banned until you prove you are a medical professional with government affiliation (it would still be online but not on other peoples search results). Google would NOT send traffic to blogs that gives medical or financial advice until the author has proved he is a trustworthy professional with good government venting... This does NOT affect other niches though.

2020 is going to be about Google E.A.T

I think it stands for Expertise, Authoritativeness and TRUSTWORTHINESS

The last one would fuk a lot of Nigerians that make useless backlines. I think last month, Absence also made an update. If you place ads on content that is against their TOA, they would not ban you, they would just make sure that ad does generate one cent.

It really not about number of views, you would doing harm to your domain name if visitors are bouncing out as soon as they click throw and expect zero income from such post (even if Google is earning something from displaying ads).

Even the name Global Trend is the name of one of the company hosting some of my website. Makes you wonder what was the intention for creating the domain name?

fundingexpert:
you are not ready......

keep searching

The domain name is one week old.
So the blog is 7 years old but domain is 8 days old?

royalads:
A website you created this month and filled it with copied contents that is what you want to sell for 50k? A website with DA of just 4?. Baba fear God ooo. It is very necessary.

Anyway, I'm still looking for serious websites to buy. Gotten 3 so far.

What type of website are you looking for?

eliok:
watch a video on how to use a custom domain in blogger .follow the exact process

Thanks for the input, but trust me, I have.

I have a .com website hosted on Blogger and suspect it is a .com.ng problem.

UPDATE: I reset the DNS and redo it. It work and in the process of synchronizing (currently showing redirect and the message "This blog is not hosted by Blogger and has not been checked for spam, viruses and other forms of malware", which is cool by me, it would work later).

Hi Nairalanders.

I'm calling out domainkingNG for an open explanation of their affiliate earnings reductions and refusal to payout.

I know this is a popular open forum majored by Nigerians and most of us here use domainking services.

I have been part of the domainking affiliate program since 2016 but I'm beginning to get pissed off.

I was invited to join the domainking affiliate program in 2016 after I bought my first hosting with them with an offer of earning up-to 80% of reffererd sales (which has never happened).

I have referred few people (about 10) to buy hosting service from domainking with my affiliate link since I joined the program and there's not been once domainking paid out my affiliate earnings in full.
They will always cut it down by about 50% when I request for payout and must find sick reason to cover their actions when I ask.

That not being the case.

Recently I referred a new user and earned #4.5k with their affiliate program. Due to how they denied deducting my earnings the last time I decided to take a screenshot of my dashboard before requesting for payout.

After requesting for payout they didn't give me any reply and after 2 days, they deducted the earned figure and left me with #2k.

I confronted them with the screenshots I took earlier and they apologized saying that their system miscalculated my earnings earlier. Blatant lie, I must say.

I accepted their apology (maybe because I can't argue it) and asked them to pay what is left and they went silent again.

I emailed them again after four days asking them what the delay was for and they apologized again and asked me to send my account details which I did.

From that day up until now, I have sent them several reminders which they will always reply with an apology mail asking me to exercise patience.

15th of April, I sent them an annoying reminder and they sent their "useless" apology mail again followed by another email in which they informed me that they have sent my payment and I should wait for 24 to 48 hours to receive it (Ordinary transfer that can be completed in minutes. Maybe the money they sent is trekking to my house physically).

Most annoying of it all, I got their automated email today telling me that they are changing the support ticket I raised for the affiliate withdrawal to "closed" while I haven't even received the payment.

How can I be requesting for a payment scheduled to take a maximum of 48hrs for close to a month (March 31st to date) and yet payment has not been made and they expect me to keep sending them reminders? Is this not very unprofessional?

I decided to follow this to the end despite the fact that it's a little sum involved. We need to call out the bad so it ceases to happen.

Is there any other domainking affiliate here? Have you had any similar experience?

I'm calling out domainking for an explanation.

PS: You are free to blog this with the screenshots attached. I need domainking to answer to this properly.

Those guys should not be greedy na. If you can afford full payment then promise what you can pay. It is better than all those BS discount they use to attract first time website owners. Except you mess up, most people would stick with their first web host company.

He ate her number 1 and her number 2. (talented old man).

Like Airtel 16GB don't Last me upto 3weeks talkless of a Month for updating my Blog.
Mind you the Largest file size I upload are pictures not upto 2MB.

If you can exhaust 16GB, then that is not normal. Go to your computer settings after connecting to the internet. Chose your hotspot and set it to "metered connection"

Your computer is using up those data.

Search Google for better step by step instructions on how to make your data connection metered on your computer otherwise you might go broke buying data always.

It is NOT necessary but I spend 6k for both personal use and work. I download lots of videos and podcast. Maintain 12 websites and blog and have 4 YouTube channels (not very active though).

For blogging alone, it would probably take 2.5k a month if I streaky only blog. 1500 day data plan on any reliable network, then the remaining I break it to 200 night plan on Glo (if you don't finish your night plan on Glo but you recharge, they would postpone the expiration date).

I just noticed that it is hard to configure both my dot com dot ng (.com.ng) domain name to Blogger. One was done many years ago but most time when I log in, it wouldn't location the service (showing error page), the other is a new domain name and it keep telling my that it cannot verify my authority of the name. I have done everything possible including adding those 4 IP Address to Google services as my A Record and the two recommended CNAME.

Please help me solve this problem if their is a solution. .com domain names works fine. Answer should be in layman's terms please. Thanks.

I don't understand why a rich old fashion man (above 30) would give heads. That's for kids or those who sincerely enjoy hearing her 'ring tune'.

Nigeria is the proof that religion does not cure poverty.

Appointment with Dangote: He may show you the way.

Appointment with Adeboye: He will collect the little you have.

/

Ask Dangote to help you, even in a business way (that you should pay interest) is a practical way to financial freedom.


Ask Adeboye to help you, he would pray and take offering. Should good fortune smile on you, he would feel he gave you the money and would be asking for "first fruits offering" (your first income in whole), tithe (10% afterwards), and offerings (additional freewill gifts that he would indirectly ask and shame those who doesn't give).

Dangote.

Adeboye might ask you for 'sacrificial offering'. While the worst that can come out of a dangote meeting is photo ops that you can exploit to get opportunities/publicity.

Lol

Interesting. And I thought it was my 20k bribe functioning overtime

Wow, 20k bribe! That is too much motivation, I am surprised they didn't laminate each page of the passport.

formular2002:
U are very correct except for d bvn. They do not have access to dem. Its domiciled with NIBSS. NIMC only had access by law as the Nation's Primary Identity Managers

O, I see.

thats awesome, keep it up

Thanks, you too.

purples25:
But i can draw something rather realistic if i try, this is an example.

I was sketching.

They are colourful and original (especially the close-up portraits). It is always a good idea to practice freehand and photorealisim/grid. Switching up your approach improves your artistic skills/

you're welcome, keep it up, you're talented. Where did you study art?

From secondary school, inspiration (from others) and YouTube.

This a painting of an African Woman titled Pharaoh-ess


www.nairaland.com/attachments/13366644_africanpainting_jpega9b5165d4fc43d948f06d61e6289d747


This is an old painting of mine. It was done in 2008 (about a year before I quit painting until recently).


It coincidentally has the same colours as the painting titled Tutu By Ben Enwonwu although mine is brighter (under direct light as against his image that is covered in shadow). I don't know the name of traditional fabric, but I think that is an "ashoke" All I know it is wived with a wooded local machine.


Back then I promoted this work in connection to Yoruba culture (Had I know there was an ongoing war between Igbos and Yorubas on Nairaland, I would have not painted or promote this artwork ). I drew attention to the fact that the materials was similar to the the once worn on the head of in ancient Egypt. At that time, a researcher claimed there were similarities between the language patterns of ancient Egyptian and West African Yoruba's. Personally, apart from architecture, math and science (which no ones ancestors surpassed ancient Egypt and later Babylon), Bini and Ife sculpture was superior to those of Egypt in craftsmanship (just my opinion). I guess some thing made 700 years ago ought to be better than those made 5000 years ago.
