Many bloggers are always looking for quality backlinks, but they have not tried this feature, probably because of the time in it, while some new bloggers don't even know about either.

How Does It Help My Blog?
It helps your blog in so many ways, starting with backlinks, getting decent amount of traffic, and also making your blog popular, new bloggers should take hold of the oppuntunity to grow their audience, let me stop here

As we have seen, we are in the generation of blogging, at least 1000+ blogs ( both self hosted and free hosted ) are created on daily basis, some blog owners give up after 1 month of blogging, because they are not serious in the business, focusing on nigerian bloggers, i will tell you the 5 things they do on daily basis.
Some give up, while some still continue to thrive, no matter what happens

Copy And Paste
If someone tells me that nigeria has the highest amount of blogs created daily in africa, i won't be reluctant to believe, because i am seeing it with my own eyes, blogs are created on daily basis in nigeria, and 70% of these blogs are into entertainment/news/freebrowsing niches, and you will agree with me, that they are all copy-pasters bloggers, and this type of blog doesn't live till one year, and most of them are in for the money

Make Money Quick
This is the slogan for every non serious bloggers in nigeria, they seem to be in for the cash, without following the basis, how do you think of making about N50,000 in your first month of blogging, is impossible and this category of bloggers end up losing their blog to some unknown reasons.

Generating Fake Traffic
Some of them goes to the extent of applying traffic bots to their blog, in order to generate fake traffic, they keep on decieving themselves, that their blogs generates about 10,000 visits, but still rank 20m+ in alexa, so who is decieving who? and generating fake traffic will affect your blog growth

Creating Backlinks
I am pretty much among this category of bloggers, i don't see anything wrong with it, but i heard, it increases bounce rate (hearsay), but i don't how true it is, but it is left for you to confirm, but as for me i will still continue creating backlinks

Spamming Articles
You will agree with me, that some of the upcoming bloggers are fond of spamming authority blogs with their links, actually am a bit fond of that, but definetly i see it as spamming, but i will only appreciate it, if the commentor says something about the article before including his link, this is what i call indirect-spamming, not when he comments only his link.
With this article you have seen what your dear bloggers do on daily basis, both good or bad, nevertheless everybody are struggling to make it in the blogging industry.
