FRONT PAGE PLACEMENT ON NAIRALAND

Dear Nairalanders, I hope you're all doing well. I have a question that has been on my mind and I believe many of you might have wondered about it too.

I have been sharing sports news on Nairaland with the hope of getting them featured on the front page. However, despite my efforts, I haven't been able to achieve this.

This situation has led me to wonder whether there is a specific process or requirement for achieving front page placement. I mean, do I need to grease some palms, bribe the almighty moderators, or empty my piggy bank to get my articles on that front page? I’m just joking. But in all seriousness (well, sort of), I'd greatly appreciate your expert guidance on this matter. Is there a secret underground payment system involved? Do i have to pay a fee?


And if this is the case, I would appreciate some guidance on the process and any rules I should follow.

Additionally, I would be grateful if anyone could inform me about the moderators responsible for selecting front page content. If there are specific individuals overseeing this, I'd like to know how I can contact them to understand the selection criteria better.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Gold bless you

I think they just randomly choose which thread would go on front page.

5 of my threads got to be on front page and it just happened, I didn't pay any moderator..

Thread making Fp is a normall thing na, no bribe.

If you really wanna make fp today you should post this news right know:

Create posts that incites tribalism and it will hit frontage.

Snake threads are also known to always hit front-page, but I'm not certain anymore since lalasticlala has been fired as a mod.

Cook up stories that never happened, especially stories from personal angles that aims to seek advice or help.

It's easy to hit front-page once you understand the kind of posts that creates engagement.

Creating news thread wouldn't get you there, as there are lots of bloggers doing the same, and it seems Suen and his mods already have their news casters.

Oil dey your head oooo. Omo na wa ooo. There’s this legendary dude lurking around this forum, and I swear, his posts are always on the front-page. Now, this is where it gets ridiculous. I once posted something before this guy, thinking I had it all figured out. For my mind I don catch am today. Hours later, guess who swoops in with the same exact post? Mr. Front Page King himself. I no know wetin this guy dey do. Not once, not twice, but multiple times! At some point I thought maybe he has a direct hotline to those moderators or something.

Like they pay for it?If i want to make fp twice everyday,i will.But to what end?I tend to believe that mostly active nairalanders are probably jobless.I enter here only when am off at work.
oh wanna hit fp?Just post anything that is sensationally self-deprecating.Lobatan!

Samantha124:

“Oil dey your head” in translation is the act of "anointing the head with oil". And when your head is anointed it means you’re blessed.

So in this context, it implies that you have the ability to attract goodluck or favour. So, don’t fret, it’s is a good thing 😁😁👍

Seems you’re not Nigerian

Okay.

Lol! Omo thanks jaaare. I get your point. Honestly my inquiry stems from a desire to grow my YouTube sports channel (which is already monetized by the way). Nothing else oooo. Unfortunately, sports videos seldom grace the front page of this forum, as politics reigns supreme. But it’s okay. We move

When next you open a thread, mention all the supermods, if you're lucky they'll move it to the front page.

Just post a shit load of bad news; one would hit front page
will explain better

I believe you are asking this because you have the intention of promoting your channel.

Well, here is what you need to do:


1. If your news posts must have over 70% chances of hitting front page then make sure you post news (videos and posts) from a reliable source not Youtube or your Youtube channel directly.

E.g Punch, thisday, sahara reporters, vanguard, BBC, Aljazeera and co.

Even if you should post your YouTube videos here about something trending, make sure you link back to the actual/main post on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the likes that carries the actual video (where you manufactured the main news from).

2. If you intend creating random content make sure it's a new or unique content that is either educating, informative, motivational or inspirational or all combined.

Note: It must be unique and way different from your usual generic contents.

E.g you can look through the content of Samantha124 to have a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

3. Snake threads also hit front page but make sure it's real. I don't really know about other animals but I'm certain when it comes to snakes.

4. Personal life stories that requires validation and suggestion seeking also hits front page (If the mods honestly thinks you sound real).

Please don't fake it like someone suggested up there. We wouldn't like you decieving us with fake stories just to hit front page. Most of us find it stupid.

5. Threads seeking for just answers and suggestions on what to either purchase, opt for (cars, mobile phones, job applications etc) or do also hits front page.

6. Looking up your competitors style of content would also help. I will advice doing it like them and doing it early (model their style of content and be first to post it on Nairaland).

A little fact/expo
I believe this also works for youtube as early birds with a constant repetitions of certain keyword as tags and headline in high demand and who also who creates videos regularly/consistently usually gets better ranking.

Well that's all for now.

Kindly note that there is no guarantee your post will hit front page front what I stated here rather your contents just have a better chance of doing so.

All I learnt here is just out of experience. If you had been active you would have understood the metrics.
Any way Good luck...
