Nope your site doesnot have coz it does not have
to help improve your situation I have a post have written fro this
funny enough I use some the tips on How To Improve Alexa Ranking.

goverment:
Earning backlink slowly is always safe. It dosen' t matter how many backlink you have.

What matter is having quality backlink than quantity backlink.

In regard to backlink, Google do check
* How relevant your information is
* Your traffic pattern
* Bounce rate
* Site or internal structure

Focus on useful and high demanding information, and you will see that backlink will be knocking at your door

Hello Nairalanders,
I started a Facebook page named "Babies are beautiful" (https://web.facebook.com/Babies-are-beautiful-140747669627031/) in December 2015 and currently the page has grown to over 137k page likes. The page has achieved over 4 million posts reach and an average post likes of 1500. I really need to get across to advertisers so that i can earn profit from the page. Any suggestions or recommendations please?

Call me on 08057081497 for further enquires.

Dude you should see how you can have a deal with all this baby stores or shops that sell something for babies and have them get you to be their content marketer on Facebook since you have a strong presence for the baby couture niche. You have a gold mine here I cannot see how I cannot make money off this.
Go to ruff n tumbles or search them out. show them how active and engage your site is, at least get more than one client and you will earn money, separate content from video do not price the same. Offer then contest etc.

Seriously you have a Gold mine here for a niche it all depends on if you see the worth!
That my own candid advice for you from a digital marketer point of view. If you need advice you can contact me via my website

Good day guys. I created a blog co-owned by my tight friend and I approximately a month ago. But we are struggling with pageviews. No, we dont have Adsense yet but we have got quality and self-written articles there. Only receiving like 40 views approximately. Each day we have like 150 average pageviews but we feel its not enough for our content. You cant be spending time researching and getting only 40 views,,, its painful and discouraging. I have read up a lot on driving traffic but i still want quality ideas from Nairalanders who know how the Nigerian way goes... We have tried every possible way. Facebook, twitter, emails, BBM and i just even opened a Linkedin acct a few minutes ago just to help traffic. i have spent a lot of data on trying to get traffic and I wouldnt like my efforts to go in vain. My blog is http://www.TheMchub.com

I would prefer getting ideas that'll make me work both hard and smart if you get what i mean. Thank you in advance

Here are some ideas

henryobinna:
I saw this same request on radar, OP do you go about asking people what to post/write about?

yes it is on radar and other similar site.
I donot go about to ask people what to write on, but if you had read the description then you would of understood that I am doing some sort of research and review into this post.
I even stated mentioning and giving reference to each and on the likes of things Nairaland forum is the least place to get serious minded people to share or provide quality input.
You either have some illmatic way of seeing things here...it's simple are you a blogger? then are you successful with it? please do drop your most useful weapon and share your url and name, this way i get to point back to your site and quote you as to your methods of gaining success to your blog.
Am a blogger and can blog on anything, infact blogging is one of the secret to my traffic increase not to mention other things and yet I have done no SEO for my blog post but yet they rank cause they get share on social sites (I have a heavy duty social accounts)/
Now imagine executing more offsite seo, do you not think i will do better in rankings and traffic. But here I am asking to see what others are doing right themselves and that seems to be a JAMB questions to all the so called professional bloggers in NL.
If you are a newbie pls donot bother to post, if you are a so called professional and yea make living from blogging? I challenge you with this topic...until I get my facts then I will post on this topic.
Funny thing is I publish this post all of your site and blogs will get syndicated to another set of viewers...really do not see why you guys will just pass by (that is if their were any serious blogger in the house to begin with).

fafy:
I have seen many bloggers fail In Nigeria. And if some writers were to write about what causes the failure, they quickly jump into conclusion discussing the same thing previous writer had written on, such as laziness, thinking of being successful within a short period of time, not determined, blogging because others are doing it. Are this points true? My answer is yes and no, yes because it’s possible and No because it’s not true for everyone that crashed out that crashed out from the blogosphere. So I call this points “fallacy of hasty generalization”. I believe there would have being more successful bloggers in Nigeria if the conditions around them are favourable.
The two challenges I’m going to discuss are based on what I see bloggers facing and what I experience on a daily basis. If you are a blogger in Nigeria, The only reason that can make you nullify this point of mine is if you have alternatives, which I believe is not available to vast majority of bloggers in Nigeria.

What are these two major challenges?

1. Epileptic Power Supply
I can imagine you nodding your head, as a sign that you agree with this point. When we talk about the ICT world, then we should discuss more about electric power supply. I have always imagined how mark zuckeberg of facebook, Jack dorsey of twitter, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of google would have struggled had it being they are born in Nigeria or lived in Nigeria right from their childhood. Perhaps they won’t their won’t be facebook, twitter, google, Perhaps their won’t even be anything like blogging.
After I finished from school on lastyear, I thought of resuming fully to my blog, but it has rather being hard than I prepared for, and the power supply has being one of my major problem. Apart from the power supply from generator. I only enjoy electricity for an average period of 3hours in every 24hours. There are even times that it will be off for almost 2weeks, and the scarcity of fuel with the rising and falling of it’s price is not helping in anyway to use my small generator. I believe some bloggers situation are a lot more worse than this.

2. High Data Price
I do not mean data for records, but what you use in accessing the internet. A situation where you have one of the network provider advertising 2015mb data for N2015 and in their mind, they are trying to beat off competitions by giving their users data at cheaper price, you can imagine how hard it will be for a blogger who’s not earning a penny from his blog yet.
Yes, you can still squeeze some amount to get a domain (it’s renewal is just once in a year), you can still squeeze out some amount to get the device you need, but how do you expect an average income blogger to be squeezing out large amount of money every month to get data so as to maintain the blog he’s not yet earning from, there will a time that there will be nothing else to squeeze. Little wonder why some people looks for tricks to help them surf the net for a little or no amount in Nigeria. So don’t quickly condemn any blogger looking for quick success in the blogging world if you don’t know the conditions they are.

DO YOU KNOW?
A. That this points in one way or the other affects the quality of posts from a blogger, due to the fact that some cannot do deep research on the content they post because they only have little resources (electricity, data etc.) to get it done. Perhaps many bloggers in Nigeria would have gotten an adsense approval by now.
B. That drastic improvement on this points could help tackle unemployment. Just imagine hundreds of thousands of successful bloggers in Nigeria. I read an article about some bloggers that resigned from their former place of work just to face blogging squarely, how many of that happens in this part of the world. I hope to see more of lindaikeji and Jide ogunsanya of ogbonge blog in this country.

My name is Temitope, and I just want to make common sense.

The three most important aspects of digital marketing are.

> SEO (search engine optimization)- This is a technique of designing and developing a web page or website to rank well in search engine result. i.e improving the volume and quality traffic to a website from search engine.

> Social media - social media are internet services that let you interact with others and share and create content through online communities. social media present great marketing opportunities for biz of all sizes. i.e

1. To promote the name of your brand and biz.

2. Tell customer about your products and services.

3. Find out what customer think about your biz.

4. Attract new customers.

5. Build stronger relationship with existing customers,

one unhappy customer with popular blog or an active yelp following can have negative impact on your brand, you must learn how to tackle those complaint head on.

> PPC (pay per click )- This is an internet advertising model used to direct traffic to websites in which advertiser pay the publisher when the ad is clicked. as the name implies you pay per click of the ad.

I concur with you on that point, but you seem to be neglecting Email Marketing, SMS Marketing and Blogging and needless I say more you cannot have a successful one without building digital marketing strategy

I think what people need to know is the fact and figures to the why and need for digital marketing especially if its viable for SMEs

KoboUP:
As the world is fast becoming digital more and more people are starting to consuming digital content on a daily basis. Companies begin to recognize the importance of digital marketing and it is essential that marketing departments innovate and adapt to the new circumstances and actively hire professionals in the field of digital marketing.

Digital marketing is important, not only because of its rapid growth but also because it is the future of marketing. Soon all traditional marketing forms will disappear as digital marketing will replace them altogether.

While some generations will no doubt lament the loss of paper newspapers, books and old fashioned communication methods, new generations who have grown up with internet and mobile phones are already embracing the brave new world of digital consumption.

Digital marketing methods are faster, more practical and versatile than the old traditional ones, Technology has put business in the digital age.

Some of the most common forms of digital marketing are:

Blogs
Website (SEO content)
Online video content
Internet banner ads
Email marketing
Pay-per-click advertising
Mobile marketing (SMS, MMS, etc)
Social media marketing (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Tuenti, Pinterest, Tumblr, G+,etc)

Some of the key reasons of using digital marketing are:

1). It is more affordable than the traditional form of marketing. An e-mail or a social media campaign can transmit the same message to customers for less money than a TV-Ad or a newspaper one. Moreover social media campaigns can reach a wider audience in any part of the world.

2). Easier to track results. With Digital Marketing we are able to analyze our own marketing campaigns, find out how the campaign performed and how it can be improved. Of course you can get this data for traditional marketing campaigns but a digital campaign will allow you to measure the success in real time, giving you the advantage of planning more effectively and making changes.

3). The number of consumers are limitless. Traditional marketing has lost a huge amount of consumers. Most people read their newspapers on their mobile devices ie Tablets, Smartphones, Laptops etc. You need to develop your marketing and embrace the digital age.

With the arrival of the digital age it’s time for those who have not yet adapted to the new way of marketing to open themselves to the new ways of marketing interactions.
