Self-Hosted (Wordpress) Vs Free-hosted (Blogger), Which Is Better
Ngrblogger
September 28, 2016

As a newbie in blogosphere, you might be confused on which platform you will have your blog built on, either self hosted (wordpress) or free hosted (blogger), as for me, that is a beginner in blogging, i prefer free hosted, to test my knowledge and to see if i will make it in blogging before advancing to self hosted blog.
Now let me start by free hosted blog (blogger).
Free hosted blog is easy to setup, now these are the pros in free hosting account
• You don't have to worry about the maintenance of the server, you are hosted on
• Your blog comes with a free subdomain, e.g yourname.blogspot.com, you can add your custom domain later
• No matter how much traffic, you get your blog will never go offline
• To crown it all, it is free except you want to upgrage to some premium plans
Now that we have the pros, why not let me highlight the the cons
These are the cons of free hosted account
• Incase of copyright infringement, google might take down your blog
• You can't actually design your blog to your taste
• No use of plugins, unlike self hosted blog
• Bad site navigation
We have seen both the pros and cons of hosting a blog on blogger platform, now let's take a look at self hosted (wordpress).
Pros of self hosted account
• The maintenance and look of the blog is on your hands
• You make use of plugins
• You can have the opportunity to own a custom email address like yourname@thedomain.com
Let's take a look at the cons
Cons of self hosted account
• You will be restless ( have experience it before)
• Too much coding required to design your blog
• Wordpress hosting doesn't make use of visual editor
No matter how the cons are in self hosted blog, i think it wins it all, but some of us bloggers want free things (it's normal), that's why i myself prefer blogger platform for a startup, before advancing to self hosted.

What Type Of Domain Extensions Fits My Blog?
Ngrblogger
September 26, 2016
0
These are the questions, bloggers ask themselves when purchasing a domain name, there are so many domain extensions out there, ranging from the top tlds to the least ones, examples are; .com, .net, .org, .co, .biz, .info, .edu and even country generic tlds like; .com.ng, .ng, .us, .co.uk, all this are domain extensions, so the question is "which one fits my blog", these days bloggers buy domains names according to their pockets, some even use .me tld for a blog, .me tld is fits for a personal/profile website, something like ifeanyionuegbu.me, the domain itself will tell that it is about somebody, without wasting much of your time, i would like to tell you what this tlds means, starting with .com = this domain name means commercial, that means anybody using this tld have a business and wants to make money/profits, .net = this tld stands for network, somehow they don't want make money, .org = this tld is the short form of organisation, websites using this tlds have a company, .edu = this tld is limited to educational institutes, such as schools, universities etc.
For you running a blog, the best tld you can go for is .com, a second choice would be .biz (as it also stands for business), how about country-generic tlds, as you are living in nigeria, and your pocket can't buy .com, why not try .com.ng tld because it is cheaper in nigeria, .com = N3,000 while .com.ng = N1,700, so do the math, how much are you saving? N1,300, think about it yourself
Note:- You will hardly have visitors from other countries
So that's the disadvantage, am not trying to convince you, why not give it a try? and share your testimonies here.

Hello, just this evening i visited a blog (name withheld), i read one of the blog posts, the post was so catchy, so i decided to leave a comment, only to see " Your Comment Will Be Approved By The Administator", so tell me how do you think i will feel? am i a spammer? this was the question i asked myself when i encountered that scenario, and the worst part is that the blog is upcoming, so tell me "will this feature help the blog owner?" if you think, it will help then comment here, like i was saying this step in preventing spammers, will also pursue your loyal readers, who wants their comment to appear immediately after posting/publishing it, and to also be included in the picture, this is just a " piece of cake" to aspiring bloggers/blogs.
Difference Between Nigeria Adsense Account And Usa Adsense Account
Ngrblogger
September 25, 2016

I have been recieving so many questions on the difference between nigeria adsense account with usa adsense account, the truth is "if your visitors is coming from nigeria, then you need to register your adsense acct under nigeria, but if they are coming from usa and some other american countries, then you go for usa adsense.
The Difference (Nigeria)
If you open an adsense account with your country (nigeria), then what you open is a nigerian adsense account, that means your ads will be nigeria-based ads, and in nigeria advertisers don't pay huge money for advertising needs compare to usa.
That means you will get poor revenue from google adsense, some nigerian bloggers get majority of their traffic from nigeria, but still opt-in for usa adsense account, for this single reason; Pay-Per-Click, like i said earlier advertisers in nigeria pay low for their advertising needs, so you could imagine what you will get on pay per click with a nigeria-based ads, but usa ads revenue is different, clicking on a us-based ads will see you earning about $0.10, but on a nigeria-based ads you might get about $0.4, so tell me what is the difference? Another difference is the verification of your nigeria adsense account, which is quite easy if you living in nigeria, this is where the bad news lies for those that want to run a us-based adsense account but they are living in nigeria, 😂 because you might not be able to verify it, except you have a friend there, or you are willing to spend your cash, because if you don't verify it, there will no payments to you, now let's talk about the usa adsense account
The Difference (United States)
Like i said earlier, advertisers in usa pay higher for their advertising needs, you can't compare us ads PPC rates to nigeria PPC rates, there is a huge difference, but the only problem is to verify the us adsense account, and their ads is catchy compared to nigeria ads, no much thing to say about them, so i will stop here
My Conclusion
If you living in nigeria, i will advise you to go for adsense account bases in nigeria, don't waste your time for us adsense acct, when you live in nigeria, cause when it's time for payment, and you haven't verified, nothing for you

We have seen alot this year so with detailed topic you will know the one that is best to suite your needs
Adsense
Adsense is the best advertising so far, with their PPC ranging from $0.10 to $5.00 , depending on the keyword top blogs/website use them, the factor is the way of approval, they easily reject applications, click to register for an adsense account
Adhitz
Adhitz is the best alternative to adsense, they don't review application, if they do it, it is because you are found wanting, they pay via paypal or payza, click on the above link to register a free account
This type of ad network is also referred as "Pop Under Ads" which means when a user clicks on a link in the site, the click will trigger the ad, to display as a pop-up, those having a high bounce rate should not apply this ad network
Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser is a good ad network, though i don't know much about them but you should try it out yourself
Infolinks
Taking the 5th position is infolinks, infolinks is based on contextual ads, which means text advertising, they review applications, but you have 60% chance of approval compared to adsense, they don't just disapprove application

Monetize Your Blog Now With Adhitz

September 11, 2016

Speaking frankly, blog monetization is pretty easy, but the question is; Under which platform, will i monetize my blog? look at this scenario, a shop keeper asked me, "When will i start to monetize my products?", i said to him, The very first time you open your shop" same thing applies to bloggers, blog monetization starts, at the time of publishing your blog
Back to the topic, there are so many advertising/affiliates platforms at there, but the problem to most bloggers "is which one will i choose?" my friend for now, choose adhitz, why?
Adhitz is a good ad network, that pays per-click depending on your location, e.g users from the US is $0.18, while other countries are $0.6, however you need to reach a minimum threshold before payout, which is $25.00, they pay via PayPal and PayZa, they are good alternative to Adsense, another good thing is that they don't review your application, once you have signed up, you have it.
All you need to do, to add your website database, create your ads zones (text/image), generate your ad code, then post the ad code anywhere in your site, this blog currently uses adhitz adverts, which have earned about $2.63 (peanut earnings), adhitz is good for starters.

Today, i am going to show you how to be sucessful in your blogging career, we have seen so many ways, but huh still same old thing, this tips is different from the ones, you have seen on google search or came across incidently, so grab your pop corn and let's read along;
1. Lay a good foundation
Laying a good foundation, will have your blog progress, what i meant by laying a good foundation is that you have a enough resources/capital to publish your blog online, not when your blog is one year old and you don't have the resources to continue its life,
2. Choose the right hosting provider
There are so many providers there, but choosing the one that match your budget and target is your choice, i recommend Blue Host, HostGator and HostWinds, the listed hosting providers has high quality to keep your blog running 24/7/365 all the time, and they also have budgets that fits your pocket, so it's your choice
3. Choose your passionate niche
I use the word "passionate" because a lot of bloggers choose a specific niche, because mr a, succeeded in that niche, well they don't know that why mr a succeeded in that niche, was because he was passionate about the niche he's into, so choosing your passionate niche will help you a lot
4. Choose the right domain
Choosing the right domain name, is a must-do tip, choose your domain according to your niche, for example if you want to run a fashion blog, then choose a fashion-related domain name
5. Be SEO Wise
This looks simple, but no it's not simple at all, make use of seo plugins also make use of google analytics and the rest of them, so you need to be consious of the one, because traffic gotten from search engines are organic traffic.
6. Be content wise (Content is king)
The slogan "content is king" is what every blogger must know, writing unique contents and not copy-pasting someone's hardwork will get you rewarded.
7. Include images in every of your blog post
This tip is the simplest part, you can upload a photo according to what to post, if you don't have a photo, you can google search "free images collection websites" and you will have a varieties of choosing the one you want
8. Make use of social mediaYou can generate traffic to your blog by being social on the internet, posting links to facebook, twitter and also creating topics in site like StumbleUpon, Blab, Reddit and even Nairaland.
9. Make use of guest posting
This simply means publishing your post in another blog bigger than yours, that's in same niche, and what's your price?, a source link back to the smaller blog, so these might help alot, because people reading what you have post, will like to click on the source link to view other of your blog posts
10. Design your blog well
Design your blog look and feel, this helps in reducing bounce rate, because when your site is attractive, you will have returning vistors, from this junction i lift my pen
