I guess itz time for me to drop my view regarding the issue, some of the websites I did for my clients are CMS, I developed the CMS frameworks myself, but after some years I reviewed what's happening in the world of web designing, Open source is here to stay whether I like it or not, I then Decided to go into Joomla and later Wordpress. I started by developing my own themes, not any longer, I buy themes now, customize them to look unique, develop the needed plugin into it and offer my clients one month SEO service. What are we saying, that has not change the price I charge, my job speaks for me, if you want to hire me then be ready to pay for my services, so if any one decides that he wants to take 10-49K for a job let him be. I'm not really into web designing again, I love Development, SEO, Digital Media Marketing, need my services, let's talk.

I'm a digital media marketer, I work from my office. Can I apply ?

@ Poster, are you talking about information marketing or internet marketing?

Here in Nigeria we have Interswitch, Etranzact, Voguepay, eyowo, Gtpay, Zenithpay, etc.
A lot of developers are making use of this systems, as a developer which one do you prefer, and why ? Were you formerly working with one of them ? Why did you stop using them ? This medium will help us know the prons and cons of the payment systems we have in Nigeria. Let the game begin.

The only reason while people feel BB10 will fail is because they have not taking time to look into it features, BB10 is faster than any smartphone out there in browsing, Comparison has be made with Iphone 5, Samsung S3, Samsung tried sha but BB was still faster. Also BB10 has d HUB program which is my favorite, Multitasking, do you know in BB10 you can have two App words running side by side doing different things, the camera is mad, I have not seen anything like that, Back in time Camera - Camera wit time shift, that's magical. I'll kip updating you about BB10. I'm really not a fan of BB but I'm a fan of BB10, I can't wait for it to be release January 30th.

Hello fellow webmasters, pls has any one worked with wp- property plugin, I'm really interested in the theme design, what theme are you using for it? And is the site online to view? Thanks.

There are 8 main points you should focus on:

• Keywords
• URL Text
• Description, Meta tags
• Title tags
• Image Names
• ALT tags
• Content
• Hyperlinks

The focus of these 8 steps is to load your pages with as many "keywords" as possible.



Keywords:
Keywords are the most important aspect of good SEO, this is where you tell the Search Engines what your site is about. Search Engines use an algorithm to determine the "Keyword Density" of your site. Therefore, choose keywords that best relate to the information, products or services that you are offering. For instance, if I am designing a site about "Cloud Transformation Services", I want my site to include the words "Cloud Transformation" as many times as possible.

However, most people don't just search for just one word, they type phrases, so you should consider the phrases that best suit your sites target market. For example, if I am creating a site about "Web Design" in Los Angeles, I would include "Los Angeles web design" in my keywords. Another way around this is to not separate my keywords with commas, just use spaces, and the Search Engines will make the phrases for you.

The most important thing to remember is that the content of each page is different, so only use keywords pertaining to that page.


URL Text:
When you name a new page you have the option to call it anything you could possibly think of, why not use a keyword? After all, the URL address is the first things a search engine comes across when indexing your pages. You have to remember content doesn't come easy to everyone, so you gotta slip in your keywords when the process gives you an easy one.


Description / Meta tags:
These tags are dwindling in importance since Search Engines are now looking at content, but every little bit counts. Optimize your meta tags to match your content, products, and services, and the Search Engines that still look at meta data will reward your efforts.


Title Tags:
Title tags are the tags that tell the Search Engine the title, or formal description of the document or page. This is the word or phrase that is seen at the top of the browser window. The most important rule about title tags is, "don't put anything in the title tags but keywords". Once again this is an easy time to slip in your keywords, so don't miss out.


Image Names:
As I said before, content doesn't come easy to everyone, so slip in your keywords whenever possible, this applies to image names. If you are saving a picture of an "iPad running Microsoft office" for your web site offering BYOD solution, don't call it "image009.jpg", call it "ipad_running_microsoft_windows_office.jpg" or "run_microsoft_office_on_ipad.jpg". The Search engine will look at the code for the site and see the image pertains to the content of the site and this will be another relevant element on that particular page. You have to take the easy ones when you are given a chance.


ALT tags:
Alt tags are keywords that you can attach to images, giving more weight to the image since Search Engines can't analyze the content of the image itself. Here is a chance to slip in more keywords without writing great content - so always try to use it.


Content:
As every expert will tell you, "Content is the King." Each web page should have at least 350-500 words on it, and the more the better, but keep in mind the formula for keyword density. You don't want to fill a page with 1500 words of jibba-jabba and only 5 keywords in it. Some people get hung-up on how browsers display text, and use images with text in them because they want a cool font, but browsers can't read the text embedded in images, so this content adds no weight to the page in a Search Engines eyes.

"Linkbaiting" is the new trend among high ranking sites. Linkbaiting means writing quality content, or articles that other web sites can display on their pages as long as they give credit, and a link to your site.

You don't have to be an expert content writer to write good web content, just be thoughtful of how you word things and incorporate your keywords.


Hyperlinks:
Hyperlinks aka. anchor tags are text links to other pages on your site. The rules of SEO and hyperlinks are easy:

• Use hyperlinks so the Search Engine will have a text link to follow to the next page
• Don't use one word links, use long link phrases, preferably keyword phrases
• Make sure that the other page your are linking a keyword phrase to, contains that particular keyword in the title and/or page content.

Keep these 8 aspects in mind when designing a site, and you are sure to have a leg up on the competition.

Most people want to have a blog that makes lots of money like lindaikeji, bellanaija, forums like Nairaland, naijahotjobs, etc, but there are tons of things they fail to understand. Building a forum like nairaland does not mean you'll be successful with it, now let me hit the point.
I have studied the Nigeria people and realize they love copying, somebody may start selling pure water today and makes lot of money through it, tomorrow someone else wants to do the same pure water business.
Now to the real business, there are lots of money to make online, but it requires patience and dedication, in any blog you want to build, they first step is to consult an SEO expert.
Yes I did say SEO expert, an SEO expert is someone that knows what blog type you can build that can get people, I mean traffic to your website, he knows the domain name to choose, he knows how the website should be built, the menu, structure, site maps, also very important the homepage of the website. He makes research and gives you wonderful topics you can build your blog on. Since you want to make money from the blog, the selected topic area should be your focus, a blog on coffee cup might fetch you more money than a magazine blog.
Let the SEO expert work with your web designer, he knows what to do, it is more easier to monetize a blog at the development stage.
I'm looking forward to a time in Nigeria where jobs for SEO experts, Social Media Marketers will fully be appreciated.

Opensource like Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress - Plugins development, etc

In addition, another important thing is adwords remarketing, it will really show your ads to people that have visited your site, itz a good way to keep your customers informed about new products. Your daily budget and CPC is really important, as a beginner I'll advice you to use automatic cpc bidding, and also do manual placements, it will really help, link your Google Analytics account to adwords and Google Webmaster tools. All the best.
