People should be careful when using Twitter. The way that app was structured, it prods people to engage in loose talks and chatter endlessly and with little meaning.

It's all in the name and symbol. Little birds on trees and your window tweeting away with no care in the world and no consequence. Except they'll be preyed by snakes and other dangerous animals if they carried away and lose awareness of their environment.

And that's a perfect analogy for heavy Twitter users.

Seriously, I’m just trying to concentrate...I can’t even think of anything...I can’t even tell my dad this! I disturbed him so much to send back the money, only if I had known...if I had known! With the tears in my eyes, that scammer will never know peace!

Sorry for your loss. Sometimes God uses delays (like in the case of your dad) to stop us from an imminent mistake or problem. We just need to be sensitive not to force things.

I honestly feel the government and the EFCC are lame ducks when it comes to fighting these issues. These criminal boys & men are everywhere in our neighbourhoods. But for causing pain to an innocent person, the person will receive a just recompense of his deeds and the Lord will compensate you in 3 folds. Soon, you'll forget the pain and laugh over it.

Here’s a crazy idea: You don’t need a high-priced, super-duper premium domain name for SEO. A great domain name that people can find and remember can help your rankings and authority.

Of course, it doesn’t end there. You do need to put content on it. Content that is relevant and informative. Content that makes people want to come back. But, a great domain name can boost your Google rankings, too.

What makes a domain name brandable?

There are millions of domain names registered in the world, but only a few hundred thousand of them are considered brandable. Brandable domain names are short, catchy, and memorable and have strong potential to be a cornerstone of a business.

For example, PayPal has the domain name paypal.com which is considered a brandable domain name for many reasons. The word PayPal is known by millions of people and it’s short, memorable and easy to spell and pronounce.

5 key features of a brandable domain name

- It is short, simple, and predictable[/i]

A great domain name is like a good catchphrase—short, simple and memorable. Short domain names are easier to remember. A short and simple domain name has more marketing value than a longer or more complex one.

It is also more memorable and allows users to type it without making typing mistakes. Predictable domains prevent phishing attacks as users will not accidentally visit fake web pages whilst looking for your real website.

- It contains a market keyword.[i]

Your domain name is often the first impression that potential customers—and search engines—have of your business and brand, and it can help get you found online. Every successful business website has a domain name that is easy to remember and hard to forget, but most importantly it includes an industry keyword that will ensure people can easily find you.

- It matches the registered brand name[/b]

Your domain name is an extension of your business's identity. It is the first thing people will see when looking for you online, and it needs to reflect your business's professionalism. It is also important that it accurately reflects your business name.

[b]- It uses .com TLD[/i]

The market for domain names is constantly evolving and growing, and with it, the risks to businesses that choose sub-optimal domain name extensions. Businesses today take full advantage of the internet's power to communicate, network, educate, sell products and solicit new customers. Because of that, a business's domain name is its first step toward reaching consumers around the globe.

If you want to be found online by millions of people globally (especially search engines) and ensure your brand is effectively communicated via a website or blog, then you should use the.COM top-level domain extension.

...Or a ccTLD[i]

A ccTLD is the country code top-level domain that relates to a specific country. These are great for several reasons, one of them being that geo-targeting can still be achieved as the ccTLD is a direct representation of where you are.

For example, the ccTLD for Nigeria is “.ng”, so when a business is domiciled in Nigeria and serves the local market, it immediately tells this fact to others. So, if you are setting up a website or blog to serve a local audience, then a ccTLD can be a great choice for your site.

Another reason behind this decision is SEO. ccTLDs are viewed as more localized and tend to rank higher in SERPs than.COMs. A ccTLD will also make your domain name appear more professional and localised.

Final thoughts[i][/i]

Your domain name is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when setting up your business website. It’s what people will see first and is a huge factor in determining if they stay or go. As well, it’s the basis for your brand so it should be simple and memorable. Do not skimp on this decision!

Admittedly, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) could give you a headache if you thought about it too much. But in reality, it’s not that hard to write your blog posts for SEO once you understand some basic concepts.[i][/i]

One of the most crucial elements of any blog is its SEO. Optimising your blog posts for search engines is key to getting more traffic and authority to your website.

The following are top SEO tips for blog posts that you should use on every blog post you write. Some of these things take very little effort but have a huge return in terms of traffic and SEO authority.

Plan your content with proper keyword research
Optimising a blog for SEO is not just about having a content strategy that is relevant and well received by visitors to the site. It is also about encouraging search engines to rank your content as high as possible.

So, it’s important though that you plan out your blog posts subjects carefully and spend a little time on keyword research. Choose your keywords correctly and invest enough time to write them properly and your blog will begin ranking organically for the most popular keywords.

When you know how to do keyword research, you can create content that speaks to people and searches.

Find semantic keywords for your focus keyword
Optimising your blog posts for SEO means using the language of your target website, both in terms of the words used, the queries they type in Google search bar and their order. The more semantic keywords you consistently use in your blog posts, the more chances your blog posts have to be shown on search engine result pages.

Write an effective blog post title
Writing an effective blog post title is very important since your blog titles are used in your meta tags and will determine how well the page is indexed for and ranked in search engines. The blog title is also an opportunity to catch people’s attention and can affect how much engagement you get from your audience.

A blog post title has two main tasks:

- Give both users and search engines a clear and concise idea of what your blog post will be about.
- Highlight the keywords you want to rank well for in search engines.

Utilise keywords throughout your post
Tag lines, slugs, titles, H1 and H2 tags, anchor texts, alt-tags, image filenames and meta tags all are great places to include keywords. Keep in mind that every time you use a keyword in your blog post, it adds weight to the content when Google is determining what content to show in the search results for the keyword or phrase you are targeting.

Make internal linking a habit
Internal linking is a powerful technique that helps you improve your websites search engine ranking. To create an internal link to a page, you use the relevant keywords for that page in a sentence, just like you would anywhere else. Though internal linking can help you rank well, it’s more commonly used as a way to improve your authority ranking within Google.

Optimise your images
Add value to your blog with more attractive photos. Uploading high-resolution images with keyword-rich file names and descriptions will help your site show up in search results and keep readers coming back for more.

Add a meta description to your blog post
Meta descriptions are what the search engines show when your page is displayed in a web search. They are one of the simplest SEO on-page components. A meta description should be unique and describe your blog post in a way that Google will love. It ensures that your site is receiving traffic from Google for each content piece you publish.

Write for your audience
Writing for an audience and SEO are what you need to get your content noticed online. This doesn’t mean writing what you think they should read. It means knowing your readers and writing what is of value to them.

Use categories and tags to organise content
Have you ever wondered why your blog isn’t ranking as well as you would like? Is it a lack of quality content? Perhaps there’s plenty of that! But what if there was another factor to account for? It could be the way that you are presenting the content.

Categories and tags are vital to helping search engines understand what your pages are about, but also in directing users directly to the most relevant information within your site. When you add them to your post/page, they help search engine spiders (e.g. Googlebot) to find relevant content on your blog more easily.

One way to do this is to make use of categories, e.g. if you’ve written a post about Nigerian food, tag it with “Nigeria” (or a country/region tag) and the tags “food” and “recipe”. This way Google will be able to understand that the post contents are about Nigerian food recipes.

Target to be the featured snippet in Google SERPs
We all know how Google display featured snippet in the SERPs. It will appear under the title of the page and you will see author information (if available) and a question/answer beneath.

If you write an article that is the answer to a frequently asked search query, you are more likely to be featured in the snippet than those who don’t. And it all starts with your blog.

If you managed to rank in a featured snippet, that means you are going to improve your organic traffic significantly!

Optimising your blog posts for search engines is key to getting more traffic and authority to your website.

Use social media to broaden the reach of your blog posts
If you’re already creating blog content for your site, why not promote it on your social media accounts to increase exposure? Tools like Hootsuite makes it easy to share links to blog posts and even schedule them ahead of time.

Conclusion
It can take years to get your blog up and running, but once it’s going, it’s the perfect place for marketing your business. Optimising blog posts for SEO is a long-term process – but there are plenty of things you can do from day one to make a positive difference today.

Small businesses face many challenges when it comes to marketing and sales. Many of them operate on narrow margins, lack resources and staying competitive is a constant challenge. At times, the obstacles seem insurmountable.[i][/i]

But search engine optimization (SEO) can be a great help. The key to successful SEO is to work on improving the web ranking of your business over very long periods of time.

What is SEO for small businesses?
Put simply, SEO is the process of boosting traffic to your website by increasing the number of visitors that click on your site from search engine results pages (SERPs). It is about making sure your brand, products and services get found in Google online searches.

The process involves analysing how search engines look for, rank and filter websites and ensuring your digital marketing strategy is properly aligned with it. If a website is ranked well, then searches for a word or phrase on that website will bring up the website. You can implement SEO for your small businesses without spending a fortune, just by following some basic steps.

1. Do keyword research for your small business
Researching keywords should always be one of the first things to do when starting a new SEO project. That’s because it is the foundation upon which everything else will be built.

Finding that needle in the haystack of keywords to target in your SEO campaign for your small business is a difficult task. Keyword research in the early stages of a project will help uncover which keywords are most important to your customers, and also help you determine if there is an existing keyword gap between what your company offers your customers and what they search for online.

Some of the best keyword research tools you can explore are:

Google Keyword Planner
SEMrush
Moz Keyword Explorer
Ahrefs Keyword Explorer
KW Finder
Majestic
GrowthBar
Long Tail Pro
Serpstat
Keyword Tool
SpyFu
2. Remember, the most popular keywords are not always the right keyword for you
As a small business, it’s easy to scramble for the most popular keywords and phrases out there. You may get some traffic from them, but you also risk a lot of competition. Smaller keywords can sometimes convert into sales more quickly, and help you get into that coveted #1 spot on the search engine results page (SERP). Focus on keywords with less competition and drive more traffic to your website.

The best keyword phrases to focus on are the ones that are incredibly specific. That’s because when someone searches for a very specific phrase, they have high intent, which means that they’re already interested in the topic and are probably ready to make a purchase.

For instance, while “buy shoes online” is a great key phrase because of the high search volume, using the key phrase “buy women’s shoes in Nigeria” instead will get you more targeted customers if your business serves the Nigerian local market.

3. Keep writing fresh & engaging content
Have you ever noticed how some brands’ blogs provide great content that keeps people coming back? They do this by writing fresh and engaging pieces of content on a regular basis.

What is the key to well-optimised blog and guest posts that will be at the top of the SERPs? There’s nothing as important as publishing quality, relevant, trending and engaging content regularly – if you want your website to get traffic consistently without spending hundreds of dollars a day on AdWords.

4. Use the right keyword density in your digital marketing content
Too often, website copy is stuffed full of keywords because the writer believes that every other word needs to be a “money” word. But Google algorithms are getting more sophisticated, and they’re able to identify naturally written keyword-rich content from artificially generated copy.

This means words are often present because they were simply part of the sentence needed to explain the idea, not just to shoehorn keywords into some vacuum of space in a misguided attempt to rank higher.

So when you write for your website, consider a balance between keyword-rich content and natural language. A high-quality balance will result in content that reads well to target readers and ranks well on Google. It’s best to target a keyword density of 1-3%.

Hmmm. If the story of the narrator is the truth, then it's quite unfortunate.

The Bible says "an overseer must be blameless, above reproach."

If there's truly an anointing from God and the person is spirit-filled, the Bible verse above is very possible. Any semblance of sin will only be fleeting to be really noticed.

Most of the so-called men of God secretly struggle to live a blameless life cos there was really no anointing in the first or they allowed worldly desires and love for self-glorification to overcome them. Their smiling faces - blown to gigantic proportions - splash every banner of the church. They focus the attention of the congregation on them, instead of Christ.

"... I'm very temperamental."

"...God will punish you."

"...I will make you disappear."

"... You're a bastard."

A pastor indeed!

Even as a non-title-holding Christian, I don't use these lines, no matter how angry I am.

You'll only know I'm angry and tell you your faults. And you really have to be annoying to get under my skin.

The judgement of God will truly begin from the "house" of God.

Oga, release the man's wife to him or remove her from your church management. That's what a true man of God would do.

[/b][/i]"Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach..." (1Tim.3:2).[b][i]

A man or woman cannot have marital problem and you make him/her a pastor or church leader.

[[/b]"If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?" (1Tim2:6)[b]

Money truly oppresses. Otherwise, it's really not difficult to bring Suleiman down to earth on this matter. It's easy.

Hmmm. Is this the teaching of Christ on marriage & people having marital issues?

Is this step God-led? To add salt to injury & sue a man whose home has been broken & you're being accused of playing a major role?

Sometimes I just wonder how many so-called men of God understand the Bible inside out and truly apply the teachings in every facet of life.

It seems most just obey the book when it suits them and go carnal at will.

Wow. Bless God for saving you. "The heart of man is desperately wicked, who can know it?" asks the good book.

Sometimes, things aren't what they seem. Disappointments, heartbreaks, sickness and others temporary 'setbacks' might actually be coverings or shields to protect you against a major catastrophe or a fatal, irreparable occurrence.

May God keep us safe in this country. Low-profile lifestyle is now the in-thing in Nigeria.
