kelvinnaira: Hi Kelvin Thanks for the frank talk. i really appreciate it. Good you noticed i said i read neil and the rest. But you should know, my niche area ain't a large niche, so some of the things Neil and Brian teach might not work for me. i have already done the research and know what my total organic volume looks like from the keywords my persona's are looking for, thus optimizing my site for them. I know they don't hang out at any of the authority sites in Nigeria that cover my niche, so going after authority sites that are not focused on my niche is won't work for me.(of which they are just 1 for my niche the others are blog posts for which i am in talks with those bloggers on an affiliate program via my site that will help them while doing guestposting for them) The idea behind my name and not the brand Palm Permutations, is quite simple. just like neilpatel.com is known for SEO, content development and internet marketing. Thus do i want The Ahamefula to be known for Oil Palm. Yes accepted it would have been better to brand for Palm Permutations, But i like my name more and it gives it's authority so that my visitors can trust they at the right place and they can buy what i am offering. Brian p.s Love to engage with you sometime kelvin, and hopefully see what your site looks like. |

Naijastaytune: Nice site Seems your header image ain't showing. But i must say your the first music and entertainment, lifestyle site i have come accross without ADS, nice. But sadily you will need the ads as your page views increase. i don't know if this is really needed by you, but i feel you need an addon by the top right that shows how many people like your page and site on facebook. Since the top part of the page shows first, its bound to give you some street cred. While giving readers a sub concious reason to stay on. |

SegilolaSalami: 100 pageviews a day is like not so good According to a Google Adsense research out of 100 pageview you get only one person will click you ads meaning you wouldn't make much moeny And you shouldn't be proud of 100 pageview... Do you know how many internet users there are in the world that your posts could have a great positive impact on their lives. Fight hard to get to them Set a goal everyday for yourself like me I set a goal as 500 pageviews minimum and I share my posts till I get those page views |

ajixkhid1: you are heading into great competition with an entertainment blog... But if that is what you like doing then no problem You know the thing wrong with all of us bloggers is that we dont think about our readers.... I mean the greatest way to get traffic is to post meaning fully content that readers would want to share... and this will get you loads of traffic But we dont do this You can use nairaland to get traffic Including twitter Other ways include Creating a contest on your blog Creating a post in which you ask questions and winner take a price (recharge card)( it helps you keep your readers glued to your blog) Paying people to share your content (like 100 recharge card for person who shares 5 times) There are more... Also please change your template.... Please change it 1 Like |

vicky6055: I am proud of it because I started out knowing zilch about blogging or websites or anything of the sort. If I did nothing, I would have zero page views. So 100 pageviews is absolutely better than zero pageviews. I am here now because I don't want to rest on that. I am continually seeking ways to get better. So please feel free to share with me proven strategies that works. I published an article today on what I do to increase my brand exposure, that is outside of my website visitors http://www.segilolasalami.co.uk/increase-your-blog-exposure/ What are your thoughts on this? At the moment I have a bounce rate of 16%. What is your bounce rate at the moment? Please be honest 1 Like |

Hi Vicky Wanted to ask what your opinion on call to action buttons.i.e signups, tip sheets, free guides and sales pitches. Must of the blogs and sites bloggers have posted seemed to lack them in total, which tends to tell me that they overlooking a source of subscribes and another source of income from targeted sales. I feel we need to enlighten them on the need it in Nigerian blogs. What do you think? |
Re: An Open Letter To Bloggers Struggling To Get More Traffic By Jon Morrow by SegilolaSalami: 5:37pm On May 16, 2016 |
vicky6055: OK thanks for the advice. What do you suggest then? I would like any contest to promote awareness of my books. |

SegilolaSalami: Hi Segilola You have to know that sometimes the stats that wordpress and some plugins offer may be a tad wrong. I didn't notice this earlier, till i switched to google analytics. for instance did you know that when you visit your own site wordpress stats counts you as a visit. Now here is where it gets funny. what if your working on a page or post, each time you preview or refresh a page, its counted as well. Analytics doesnt do this as it sees your ip as one view and one view alone. 1 Like |
