coolsix:
For a start, use nairaland ads...

. Google adwords is also credible but i advise you use both.

hmm...
I'd choose to use NL but on NL once the ad is running your money is going wether you get a click or not but with google you get charged per click. this is the reason I wanted those who have used/tried the both of them to share their experience.




well am going with one of them n Facebook

GodMode:
Facebook can do both. But its better to get lots of page likes and followers on social media.

hmm... Facebook seems promising, what I don't know about Facebook is, the likes it generates is targeted for my niche. not when I operate a tech site or so, and I get people who are business oriented liking my page. it won't yield positive result.



do you know Facebook pricing?

GodMode:
If your concern is traffic then look for other sites in your niche that get more traffic than u then advertise on those sites..

Google ads is based on keywords. You'll have to choose a popular keyword with high amount of searches... Advertising on google requires research.

But if your sole concern is to make your site popular. Then advertise on social media...

the google ad am actually talking of is not those ones that appear on google search, am talking of those that appear on adsense ppc ads.

about the social media adverts, if I choose to advertise on Facebook, what am I advertising; the Facebook page ofy site or the site itself.

OP you said graphics designing?

why buy a mini?

better go for a laptop than mini.

TheWholeTruth:
Totally Wrong.


If rank decrease isn't because of NL ad, but because of traffic. The guy didn't do something unique. He did almost a clone of Nl which is not advisable.

eeerm... what's your advice/take on the topic, I neesld to know the best

GodMode:
From what I've studied(, and lhpay)...

NL would improve your site rankings on alexa and locally...

But since and stopped NL ads their rankings dropped...

If you want to boost your local rankings use NL...

Note: I've never used NL ads or adwords...

uhmm... I actually don't care much about alexa ranking.

my concern is the traffic, would NL give me more traffic than google?

maekhel:
will like to knw too

abi...?
am just waiting for those who've experience to help out

for sometime now I've been planning to advertise a blog but due to one or two things I've not been able to, but will do that soon.

So I want those who have used any(or preferably both) of them to help on choosing the best; As in the option with maximum positive outcome with out my money going down the drain.

and possibly their pros n cons

thanks in advance

#iweep

Khd95:

and you weren't fast enough cos you ended up quoting my modified post

2014- not so good. but I thank GOD

2015-expecting every good thing possible.
Amen!

iwriterng:
A larger percentage of Nairaland users don't understand a tad of international politics. So you expect Nigeria to align with Palestine (a struggling state) instead of United States?

What do we stand to gain from Palestine?

bombing n self destruction

emusmith:
You see...

Being a BIG boy is all about Growing up and letting some things go rather than trying to fight tooth and nail Just to win an argument.

What's the use?

Many call themselves BIG BOYS according to their own standards but things have changed.

What then are the Top Qualities Of A Big Boy?


1. He doesn't show off before ladies.

Some guys are simply funny. They sight a pretty lady and they start acting like "junkies", No naaa!
The girl is in your taxi that's why you brought out your Samsung Galaxy Tab and start playing compulsory Candy Crush and Temple Run Oz that you haven't played for a long time.
There is God ooo!


2. He doesn't "pursue" Ladies on the streets.

To some guys, Jungle never mature oo!
After NYSC, they're still disturbing the girl's life with "oh baby, wait na, I have something to tell you" lol...You wan preach the Word of God?
I'm not saying you can't stop a girl NICELY to share your affection.
Make sure you're just not pursuing her. Be mild in your "desperation"/ pursuit.


3. He doesn't do things to attract unnecessary attention.


I believe, only kid-boys do this. They shout and yell but when you get closer, NOTHING!
SOME open "CONTROVERSIAL" threads, so to speak, just to attract "CHEAP" attention. NO! That's not the way!
A big boy is himself but his best self.
He strives hard to be better.
In NL, for example, if you don't always make FP, find out the skills and don't try to think that being "Controversial" will get you FP. That's a MIRAGE!
(If you don't make FP, keep trying, don't give up, lol)


4. He has his own money

It may not be in millions yet but at least he has a stable influx of income. This ish led tallesty 1 to open a thread regarding why BROKE GUYS SHOULD NOT DATE!
I buy his reasons.
No Big boy lives on friends or others!
He may ask but he doesn't depend on you.
Some guys still beg their girl to send them airtime. #I Laff in Japanese #


5. He is Financially responsible for the upkeep of his girl.

If you're "privileged" to have a girl who loves you, buying her things will just be natural.
Small boys are the reasons we'll be seeing threads like "DO I GIVE MY GIRLFRIEND TRANSPORT FARE EACH TIME SHE COMES?"
You may bash me but I don't care! If she is not just a sexxx doll to you but a potential wife, transport fare isn't a topic!
hmmmm...


6. He doesn't ALWAYS involve in argument with his girl.

Your lady might wrong you and still expect an apology. Stupid right?
A big boy tells her the sorry and she feels stupid after that!
She'll find a way to apologize...

Some will be involving in e-war with girls on NL. If I find myself arguing with her, I quickly apologized. Make peace reign. After that, I noticed all of them saying same things like: " I'm more sorry, take a hug" etc.
Big Boys Apologize.
Small Boys Don't Apologize.


7. He tries hard to fulfil his promise.

If you made a promise to her to take her to the PROMISE eatery on Saturday. Try to keep to that. Even if it becomes impossible, sincerely assure her that you'll make it up to her and really do make it up.
It says a lot about your personality.


Probably, your thinking was wrong about who a Big Boy is.
It's not about "Low waist" and Having Seven Girlfriends oo...
It's about being responsible to One girl.
As they say, the greatest sign of maturity is Responsibility.

Don't be like the average Nigerian guy whose dream is in his pee pee...No!

Aim higher.
