NaijaTechGuy:
nice blog there. I love your writing style.

Thanks.

HenryDion:
Not every blogger can boost of being the copyright owners of over 80% of their blog images. So it's good to have a disclaimer page on your blog, stating that you don't bear ownership of the images found on the blog..

Make use of more images that aren't copyrighted.. a major source is Pixabay.com..

Yeah. I use Pixabay too. I will make the other corrections. Thanks.

HenryDion:
This depends on how you blog.. Have you summited a sitemap to google? this single act gives google a hint of how regular you post. If it's everyday, google knows that he will have to visit everyday knowing that there will always be something new to index.

That's why consistency in blogging is important.

Another way to make google index your new post faster is by sharing them on social media like facebook, twitter etc....

Last but not the least, always link to your previous post.

good luck in blogging.

Thank you. What about photos? All my photos are from WikiPedia commons but where it is not available, like the case of Evans, I make use of that popular photo? Is that against Google policy?

pabostt:
It may and it may not, it depends on the articles the reviewer sents to look through your blogs views. Since the articles will be selected at a random. You can just take the pain and add more flesh to those articles. I believe you will be fully be approved. Nice blog once again.

Okay. Thanks. I will work on it.

SEO friendly and acceptable backlinks.

Therefore, once your post has been crawled, properly index, and SEO friendly, you are good to go.

I read somewhere good doesn't give AdSense if your posts are shot. My question is, let's say I have over 30 articles longer than 700 words and have 20 others less than 350 words, will this work against you if you apply for AdSense?

I understand the fears. The introduction of Arabic could a step to something troubling.

pabostt:
I don't think so since you are just trying to write on some irregularities that you think must be looked into. Although, I don't go through all the articles, opps, am a lazy reader. Take heed to HenryDion advise as regard SEO and the probability of getting organic traffic from google(this is where your desired revenue comes from if finally approved)

Thanks. I was already giving up on AdSense because of the content of my materials. I will work on the SEO.

One last question. How do you make a new post to appear on Google Search?

HenryDion:
Yoast SEO will even applaud you once you include the keyword you want to rank for in the right places, the problem is, are your audience using those keywords? This is where keyword planing comes in.

Okay. Thank you. I will work on that.

pabostt:
You have a nice blog and a unique way of writing. The following are contents violates adsense program policies
Adult content

Dangerous or derogatory content

Recreational drugs and drug-related content

Alcohol-related content

Tobacco-related content

Healthcare-related content

Hacking and cracking content

Pages that offer compensation programs

Misrepresentative content

Violent content

Weapon-related content

Content that enables dishonest behavior

Illegal content

I don't have the time to go through all your contents and to check for their originality, but some of your caption suggests you have original contents. Just apply for adsense and I think you stand a chance.

Thank you. 100% original. Do you know if critiquing, like I did on that link above, breaks rule two?

HenryDion:
So far, your site is the best I've seen so far. Unique and a good user experience. The appearance is awesome too.

This niche of yours will be a boom if you dedicate lots and lots of time. I mean, lots if it. Do you know why? Cause your niche isn't really something that can pull up on Google Search result. You need to learn about SEO and keywords.

Google will approve you, but what good is Adsense if you don't get traffic? There are niche that are good but takes time to stand. There are also niche that within 6 months, there are doing well in search results and earning huge bucks through ads.. it's about delving into a profitable niche.

No one will type something like 'He spoke to us in hausa' on Google Search engine.. Place yourself in the shoes of your audience, what are they typing? what are they searching for?

I'm not saying your site can't make it, all I'm saying is, it will need lots of time. Judging by your site, most of your readers won't come from organic traffic.. You will have to keep doing promotion to earn them which is stressful.

I made this mistake once, I was blogging about inspiration and motivation.. I was getting awesome engagement though, but I wasn't making money. Nigerians aren't interested in reading inspiring words, they are either searching for How to make money, sexy girls, or the latest news or celebrity headline.. Others might be sports etc...

I'm very grateful for your detailed analysis. I have Yoast SEO installed and I do pick my keywords. It is usually different from the topic. Is that okay? Like for example, the keyword for He Spoke To Us..is Eid-El Fitr.

INTERNAL LINK

<a href="MyOwnGist.info/p/f.html">Internal Link Example</a>

Did you get it ??

Thanks. Where the link is the MyOwnGist.info, right?

HenryDion:
Thanks bro.. Yours is quite cool too.. I love your site structure and appearance.. I've been considering YouTube sha... But I need to have a good HD camera and a particular cool room.. that will be later.. Go to make EntMirror stand first.

I love your niche too.. It will make you stand out.. not these gossip bloggers that keep dragging the name blogging to the mud.

Help check mine, bro. www.mortalpoet.com. Are there certain ways you write that'd make Google not offer you AdSense?

pabostt:
Improper navigation bar: you have news, health tips, etc. all mixed up. Let there be distinction for each Niche in your navigation bar

Multiple niche isn't too good, but if your contents are original no problem

Hope your news are collected directly from the source. Adsense will frown at edited news from other news outlet.

You have a nice design and template.

Make sure your contents have atleast 500 words.

Before you apply make sure you have within 20 - 25 articles.

Originality is the key to getting approved.

Place the ad code correctly

you have to wait for like 2 - 4 weeks before you can be fully approved

Note: organic traffic isn't a serious criteria, so don't get agigated if your traffic is still low. You can still be approved if your blog comply with their policy.

What do you think of my blog, bro? www.mortalpoet.com. Are there a certain type of articles that may prevent Google from approving your AdSense? Like this one: http://www.mortalpoet.com/nairaland-nigerias-online-centre/

NaijaTechGuy:
Your blog doesn't have a niche. That's the first disqualification. Secondly get a custom domain. I suggest you get a third party template as well. You're a blogger not a news company focus on one niche. Only multi authored blogs can run multi niche sites successfully. And mind you there are many scammers on NL saying that they have adsense for sale, be careful.

What do you think of my blog www.mortalpoet.com?

olayinkajnr:
Nice one.

Yeah. Only the truth shall set us free.

mylove4God:
okay...l will start by trying develop a strong ( with time, it will become a strong one) relationship with you through making this comment
Not everyone is good with making comments, though doing so has advantages. I read one of of your comment where you jokingly asked a nairalander if she was among those that let their ego stop them from asking questions or for help and i felt that you were referring to me
I will here for now.

Lololol. That's the spirit. I can see signs of good things to come already. Your sarcasm meter is in good shape.

Boole3:
thanks a lot... trying not to think about it but its not easy...

Yeah. Don't. The solution is, think of alternatives.

The reason most humans go to school is to make money and have 'class' not because they love what education really is about.

The reason you are also lamenting is because you also saw education as a means to an end. A means to make money.

You simply need an unplug. See school as fun and a means to enlarging your knowledge. Not a place you must pass exams to have good grades to get you good money in future.

Unplug. Try to learn other things in school that will give you that money. You can set up a blog where your offer your unique skills and services if you have one.

You can meet those guys who run Business centres around and ask them how to begin, if you have money.

Don't ever allow grades be your problem. We know the reason you are sad, from your narration, is because you want to make money in future and have that thing called 'class',not because you love knowledge.

Rewire yourself from society's brainwash. If you need money pursue money, if you need education stop complaining about your grades and focus on what you learned.

The answer is no. Was Buhari or the current APC Administration responsible for the new curriculum? No. Are Christian students forced, through the new process, to study Arabic? No. It is good that we tell the true stories of events so that we don’t create an angrier and more divisive population in the already tensed system. They’ve been news going around that Christian Religious Knowledge, C.R.K, was removed from the Nigerian Educational Curriculum while the IRS, Islamic Religious Studies, was left untouched.

Please what's the best affiliate program for Nigerian bloggers?

Bloggers in the house, what's the best Affiliate Network for Nigerian publishers? Besides AdSense, which do you use or recommend?

Please, guys, anyone knows how to make my internal links short? Instead of showing the image and some notes on the page I'm linking to, I want it to just be a line of the topic. That way one can easily click and be redirected. Thanks. www.mortalpoet.com

Zetra:
I like the idea,there is a thread on scam jobs you can get enough from there...

I'm having suicidal thoughts because of my poor grades in school.
I'm so tired.. i read for more than 8hours daily but I still fail... 200l sitting on a 1.8 cgpa with loads of carryover courses. I feel like a complete failure.

At the rate at which I'm having suicidal thoughts these days I'm scared that one day I might just do it ... I need your help I don't want to kill myself.
I cant even think straight anymore

That's because you were brainwashed to think school and good grades is what you need to succeed. My advice is simple, listen attentively when the lecturer is in the class and focus on a skill. Learn a skill that sells. If you've got passion try to see if you can monetize it. Don't injure yourself trying to a course you many not even love or pursue in future.

The idea that grades decide who you become is why our organized schools are dangerous. Throw that line out of your head. If possible, ditch school. Tell your sponsor to channel that money on a skill you want to learn. You can always go back to school.

Don't allow some grades decide who you are. Try your best but don't kill yourself over nothing. Grades are not worth such attention you are giving them. Learn something and be happy. Don't tie your happiness to grades. That's the the ugly tumour our systemic education creates.

Donniefred:
It is legal, 35k if you need one.

Wow! Interesting. Okay. I'd browse on the subject again. I saw somewhere that Google frowns at it. On a commonsensical level they ought frown at it. I'd check again. And 35k is too much.

That's organic sir
When you paste your blog URL on any site and people click on it to your blog, those are classified as organic.

Paid traffic is when you pay advert companies for traffic

Okay. I understand now. Thanks.
