That is the truth. If Igbos vote Buhari in 2019, they will get presidency in 2023.

Dumb. People should vote a dunce a second time because they want to taste Presidency? If not just mere stupidity what has Buhari done for the ordinary northerner on the street to warrant any support?

Anyone can believe anything. But I doubt something a scientific nobody like can theorize and give birth to will be nonexistent. Radioactivity, Nuclear Fission and simple knowledge of Subatomic particles is enough. It's not an esoteric knowledge.

I told you guys after that Ecuador match that Argentina has no team and some guys said I was harsh. Just see what's happening here. The coach has once again listened to that familiar spirit that asked him to bring in Benedicto. We'd had been 2 goals up now if not for Nacho's selfishness.

It is either these people kill Mugabe now or he destroys them later.

I don't know why I kinda feel sad for this old man.

Kill him? That will worsen the issue. The Egyptian style of protest at Tahiri Square for Morsi and Mubarak's poor leadership will help them. The good thing here is, like the Egyptians, they have an AbdulFatai Sisi as an Army Chief. He'd not sanction any government stupidity against the disgruntled masses.

Trying to start another foolishness that will send the country two decades backward. Mugabe has no honour either. What else does he want at 93?


Guns and bombs will not give them peace either. I gave up on the country when Morgan agreed to the power sharing agreement.

And as usual nothing will happen. We need to restructure every facet of this country beginning with the constitution.

Yes, not everyone needs a thousand posts to get traffic. But chances are high that a blog with 1000 good-quality posts will generate more traffic than one with 200 posts.

That said, let me now warn you: Don't go about looking for any trick or method that you think some people know and are not telling you. As far as traffic is concerned, there are no secrets as such. Here's how it works:

Do your keyword research to figure out the exact kind of information people are searching the web for (that is related to your niche). Pull out as many such keywords as you can find. Then write posts optimized for each keyword. Keep doing that. It takes between 6-8 months for a well-written post to start fetching traffic automatically from search engines.

Let's say you have one post ranking for its target keyword and starts attracting 50 visits per day. Having 50 of such articles will fetch you 2500 visits per day. That's simple maths. You can imagine what will happen when you have 300 such articles. That's how traffic grows over time.

The strategy I explained above is called SEO (search engine optimization). You don't need to buy any premium tool to implement it. On my blog, all I use is the free version of the All-in-one SEO pack.

Now, you can't expect me to float a full-blown tutorial on SEO here. If you're really keen about this blogging thing, you'll search the web for information on that topic and read as much as possible resources on it. And in no time, you'd have mastered it -- at least, the on-page part. As a blogger, you'll start failing the day you stop learning. I spend no less than 2-3 hours daily reading stuffs that help me keep abreast of latest trends in the blogosphere and the internet marketing world.

And note that the world of blogging today has changed from what it used to be.

First, if you really want to make money from blogging, you have to forget about passion -- unless you're ready to wait for 4 years or more. You have to choose a niche that people are actively reading about online. More importantly, you have to write articles on topics that people really want to know more about. And that's where keyword research and SEO comes in.

Secondly, gone are the days when 500-word articles would do much to help you. These days, if you really want to rank well and pull search engine traffic, you have to target 1500-2000 words per article. And you have to post frequently. Everyday, if possible. Or at least 4 times a week.

If you think all these are too difficult, then blogging might not be for you.

I've not even mentioned that fact that you must be a good writer. If it takes you a whole day or longer to write a 500-word article, you won't go far as a blogger who wants to generate SEO traffic.

Well, the good news is that SEO isn't the only way to boost traffic. But it's the best because your site generates traffic even if you abandon it for days. Even Linda Ikeji can't try that! There are times I won't publish a single article in 2 weeks (after I've paid my dues, of course), and my traffic won't drop a bit.

Social media is another way to generate traffic. You need to build a massive followership on Facebook or Twitter, and then channel that traffic to your blog. But again, it's not as effective as SEO unless you've mastered the art of crafting catchy titles and posts that go viral always.

Okay. This makes much sense. I have one question and request. Can one earn through Ad impressions or how does it work? Can you help me look at this site to be sure the ads are well placed? www.mortalpoet.com. Am I missing anything? Thanks.

The internet is good for researching. I'm not in anyway connected to GNLD or in anyway affiliated to them. I hate them with a passion and would not pray my enemy come across them. Since you are free today, do make your way to P& J consulting on facebook

Okay. P and J meaning?

Getting organic traffic is not a day job. There are no tricks anyway but hard work that's what I believe. If you want to increase your traffic fast then you need to invest your time and money. For example, will you prefer buying Yoast premium plugin or the free one? Just be patience and your blog will grow.

Of course I know it is not a day job but I also observed the men at the top just pass down simple stories to the young ones. Even buying Yoast Premium is not enough if you are not well skilled in Keywords. Investing time and money is not enough. How to invest time and money matters. Initially, I wrote daily but the views were very small or zero. Then I wrote three times a week and the views passes ten. Now I post twice a week and focus on promotion and their is some little progress. Just telling newbies to invest time is not enough.

naijatechgist:
are you a hater... don't tell me you are not motivated by that post. any way. if you want to improve your traffic just do as he said. have at least 1000 post on your blog.

But not everyone needs a thousand posts to improve traffic. I believe their is a trick or method he knows, they know, but are not telling us. You can find all these things he said online. I'm not hating or not grateful. I just believe their is more and telling anyone wouldn't subtract from their progress. For example, have you heard of Triberr? Things like that. Their should be something. A targeted marketing. A certain writing pattern and SEO formation. Their is something.

naijatechgist:
God bless you for this tips. I was demotivated due to my low Adsense earning. I just feel like giving up but this your post really help me alot... I will share this to my friends on facebook. Ones more Thank you. I will like to add you on whatsapp for more tips if you agree. Still you are the best we need more of your kind here on Nairaland.

I honestly don't understand how the post you quoted is going to improve traffic. You can help out.

Lack of which skill is a major problem in the east?

25000 naira job for graduate and they are still advertising. Why not drop it to the level of SSCE Holders?

Lies, lies and more lies, that's what we've learned with this government. Nobody knows what to belief anymore. Smh. The mistake has been made but it shouldn't be repeated. I've learnt a lot from this govt and I wish others learned too.

We should also stop that baseless mantra that men are polygamous in nature. It is even scarier when a woman says such. Liberate yourselves and save your relationships.

Feel. I love to FEEL I'm young. Spoken like you know my age. Or you are just working with a range.

Media controls almost everyone. The op has great points. Whatever is controversial trends. This article is a good defense against the lying Nigerian Media and other media:

I can see the golden voice of Africa. That man is a motivation to Albinos in Africa. He was mocked for his skin colour and treated like an outcast but look at him today! An African legend.

Who is a good soldier? The one who kills for his country or the one that dies for his country? The one who fights foolish wars created by fear men and called hero back home for killing innocent people in other countries? What a pity!

[quote author=wwwmaster post=62315803]A people are as healthy as the content they consume...

It should be " Peoples are as healthy as the content they consume..."
As a blogger, why not bring it closer to your readers. It's not like you are delivering speech in a global gathering. This should be the best way to put it - "You are as healthy as the content content you consume..."

You should also note that "a people" is singular not plural which means that "IS" should follow and not "ARE".
Thanks.[/quote]Taken. I was looking at the 'a people' and not the verb after it. Thanks.

[quote author=wwwmaster post=62314037]"A people" in that context is wrong, please take correction. Thanks.[/quote]What context?

Puffin what? With my Google Chrome browser I run www.mortalpoet.com. Chrome is the best. I don't even use any of the app there.

Is A PEOPLE wrong English?

Hilarious but we've seen enough evidence to brush his argument off. The man, to me, has little sense.
