The SEO Wars --- Are Nigerian Bloggers Getting It All Wrong? by oteneaaron(m): 3:45pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
I'm going not to say too much...... .... there is something happening that it's either we don't want to admit it, or we just tend to ignore it... Are Nigerian Web designers, SEO experts and Internet marketers getting it all wrong? You know when it comes to ranking SEO companies in the world....it saddens me that no Nigerian company has ranked at all...I was on a blog the other day.. and the writer said --- " India is the only developing Country to have SEO companies that ranked high on TOPSEOS.COM monthly ranking" ( i don"t have the link anymore.... u can check it out on google) Are we getting it all wrong? You know, when it comes to search engine optimization, they are the whitehat and blackhat nethods.... The whitehat methods may include--- --- Standard keyword saturation -- Backlinking strategy-- which includes, blog commenting, forum marketing, social media marketing, guest blogging etc... -- Video marketing --on-page SEO -- Analysing your Competitors backlinks... I'm not discussing the blackhat methods...cos, they're discouraged. Here in Nigeria, bloggers both new and intending do not always realize the need for good SEO and even if they do, they over Optimize their Blogs. We don't comment on other blogs...some will say : " wetin concern me and that guy blog?..why i go de comment for anoda person blog?" they say this without knowing that commenting on Blogs wih niches related to theirs will give them strong backlinks...... Can we ever push our SEO prowess beyond the webspace shore of Naija?..... I believe we can, the solution.. is to--- --Practice and keep practicing ( after all..Lagos wasn't built in a day ) -- Engage with other bloggers ( the more blog owners you interact with, the better your SEO skills become) -- Be realistic with your expectation of results ( You can"t rank first page on Google or any other search engine overnight) -- ask questions if you're stuck ( you know the proverb ... a man who asks for directions.......) We can win the SEO war here in Nigeria... Do you have any other well known world standard SEO practice we Nigerians are getting wrong? please share and lets discuss the solutions... |

Well in my opinion.. I think Nigerian Bloggers don't really care about SEO and the blog Niche of most Nigerian bloggers is more of Entertainment and celeb gossip...and Less of more professional-well paying SEO Niche's. 1 Like 1 Share |

topblogger12: I think you're right..... not every Nigerian blogger knows that they should blog on a particular Niche..... |

Google wants to make money but as long as there are not enough people who go online to search online, the SEO war will not be won totally. This is because Google will not enforce its own algorithm otherwise they will not get people to visit the already existing website. So rather than do a full implementation, they will only be implementing it in part until the industry is ripe. The businesses, webmasters and bloggers who will win the war eventually are those who starts early now. As someone who runs an SEO agency, I am already starting a blog in virtually all niche. If you understand SEO, I think you should get started now so you can dominate your industry. 2 Likes 1 Share |

oteneaaron: I understand. As someone who has been offering SEO Services for 3yrs now, I now where you coming from. But here is the good news, lots of business are beginning to see the usefulness of SEO and are ready to come onboard. Unfortunately real SEO is not cheap and how many businesses can afford to pay a monthly fee in Nigeria where doing business is not easy. But I know that as more people go online and the industry grows, it will make more sense. You can join my SEO West Africa group on Linkedin. The idea is to start promoting the service 2 Likes 1 Share |

I don't think there is a better avenue to say this than during the 'convention' of blog owners and operators..... True, guest post is a very good way to go about publicizing your blog. It is even better if the guest writer would offer to publicize the blog on social media and even get you some back links, mentions and likes... Anyways, I will write articles for your blog and share them on social media. I need not say that the articles will be great ones, original, SEOptimized and reader-friendly because you know they will be. So give me a try.... ![]() Thank you op for the audience and pardon me for seemingly derailing..
