Blog Post Optimizer


Optimization is the name of the game when it comes to drawing as much traffic to any site because of the revenue potential this can bring. This article will give you all the secrets.



Page Rank Basics

Knowing something about how to create this optimization to harness the best benefits will definitely be advantageous.

The Basics

Keywords – these are by far will allow all visitors to be directed to the said domain the most important elements that will ensure the ranking process creates the best results.

Learning to identify and use the best words as much as possible effectively and quickly.

Title tag - the next step would be to title tag appropriately, which basically means the text will be shown in the color blue whenever something has been goggled.

The general noted maximum title tags should not exceed 70 characters, and this should always be the same as the actual headline of the said page.

Meta data – here a short description of the general content of the site is featured and it should be done in a way that convinces the visitor to open the site as the information source that is being sought. Here 150 characters are the maximum amounts allowed or allocated.

Headings and subheadings – the Googlebot primarily looks for well structured pages which have the heading and subheadings that outline the general content. This is similar to a book with the title tablets on the inside cover.

The first third – although repeating keywords are important, doing so too many time within the first few pages of information will cause the exercise to be Google slapped. A suitable guideline to follow would be about 2.5% keyword density.

Back links – having a good number of these is also another way to get good page ranking. However the links should be relevant and spam free, as visitors will not appreciate unnecessary solicited disturbances.


Using anchor text that has is rich in keywords within the back links will ensure phrases that are hyperlinked.
Using Articles And Blog Posts

Making use of as many tools as possible available on the internet to attract visitor to one’s site is very important to the existence and popularity of the said site. Therefore with this in mind, using the tools like articles and blog posts has the ability to increase traffic to the site if some primary points are carefully included in the process.

Writing It

By using the articles or blog posts to create a “buzz” on a particular topic, the interested parties will be able to access the information because of the search engines ranking.

Ensuring the information formatted is of the highest quality both in content and design is one way of creating a fresh and engaging page of the potential visitor to the site.

Besides the obvious importance of the content and design of the article and blog posts, there should also be a concerted effort made to include a set of chosen keywords as often as possible within the page’s content.

In doing so the page ranking can then be satisfactory as the relevant search engines will be able to pick up on these chosen words and feature the site favorably.

Though it may not be easy to avoid the more popularly chosen words, with a little time and effort it would be worth it to come up with some lesser or lower competitive keywords or key phrases.

If the choices are well made it could have surprisingly popular results as these would then cause the articles and blogs to be more sought after. The more successful the article or blog the better the traffic directed to the site will be.

Therefore the key is to pay some attention to the quality of the work being featured to a certain extent ensure the material being presented is relevant enough to garner the interest of the surfing crowd.


Using Backlinks

This is another tool that is beneficial if used to its optimum capacity. The idea of using backlinks to direct traffic to a site is a tried and true method that has already been very successfully used over time. These backlinks will allow the article or blog to be used as a tool to link to other websites that either have similar corresponding material or use a lot of similar word links.

The Backlinks

For most individuals the need for traffic to a site is to create as much revenue to the site as possible. This can also come in the form of passive income because the traffic is constantly being directed to the site and this helps to create the constant interest needed to keep the site relevant and effective.
It is also helpful as the actual material posted may not need constant attention but only periodical up dates. Producing several websites that always have the assistance of reference to other site because of the backlinks is one way to ensure the articles are accessed successfully and optimized.

Understanding the fundamentals of the backlinks tool is also essential to its successful use. The two types of backlinks should be used according to the requirements of the particular posting in mind. The “follow” style allows the link to have many other backlinks which in turn help in the move up the search engine results.

The other style which is the “no follow” one only allows a visitor to access a webpage that is linked but does not really help in the search engine results. Depending on the needs or intentions desired of the posted one can choose the suitable option for the best effects.

Backlinks are particularly useful when doing social networking or social bookmarking. The forums are also another place where the links can be used to its optimum.



Using Directories

As the main idea behind using any tool is to direct as much traffic to a site as possible, the importance lies in the need to unsure the right tool is used for optimum benefit. Directories have been known to be able to provide invaluable assistance in the particular platform without too much hassle.

The Directories

For some tagging on already pre existing websites is sufficient for whatever purpose intended while for other this may dilute the impact needed to make a particular posting individual. If this is the desired intention, then designing a page that is both personal and to be placed on the directory list will give the individual the necessary influence intended.

Therefore it is very important to identify the particular niche one intends to focus on for the successful vertical directories placing. This is particularly good option to explore as it provides the type of setups that are helpful in assisting the individual to get optimum results from the listing.

Using the directories to provide or assist in the unlimited possibilities of back links will help the visiting party to a site get even more information when compared to simply linking to one or two corresponding sites.

These internet directories have an enormous often untapped potential to provide information about possible links that usually contribute to providing an equally enormous amount of information.

This is especially useful when conducting researchers where information gathering is an important part of the exercise. When using the directories option, as an appropriate strategy the directory tools can prove to be very beneficial for the enterprising and prospecting webmaster.

It should be understood that there is more potential in using these directories as a valuable assistance tool than merely as a one way incoming link. The goal should be to get listed and be able to garner as much inbound links as possible.


Using Social Media And Site Maps

As consistently mentioned the tools available on the internet for the purpose of directing traffic to sites are vast and varied. Therefore in the process of filtering the ones that are most suitable for a particular exercise, the social media and site maps tool ideally should be explored for its benefits too.

Social Sites

There is a lot of power and reach that can be harnessed through the use of the online social media and site maps tool besides the more obvious one on promoting a particular site.

This tool can be successfully used to create a wider online presence in the branding and marketing channels. It provides the more visually appealing or better presented social reference as a guide and this applies to also getting a more organized overview of the subject matter being searched.

In providing a potentially great conceptual overview these tools greatly help to narrow down any search exercise that would otherwise may be more time consuming than desired.

Increasing the visibility to ensure the connection with the target market is also optimized through these tools. Being able to reach a much wider audience simply and quickly with just a flick of the finger allows the posted material to be accessed through multiple channels.

This is also an avenue that provides the host with the connectivity needed to be able to “listen” and understand the target audience adequately.

This then provides the competitive advantage that gets the desired recognition for contributing to the enhancing of traffic to the site.

Through the informative and interesting material being designed and posted the viewing target audience will be able to get the necessary information and perhaps more which will then create the potential to have a loyal following base. This of course is another favored featured to be considered.
 The Downfall Of Not Using The Tools Available

These little helper applications make any task a whole lot easier and enjoyable provided the user has some knowledge of its workings.

Great Tips

There are a lot of reasons as to why these tools should be used as often as possible, some of which include the expansion of knowledge and horizons, applying these tools to work as an added advantage to the target audience with the prime goal of realizing optimum revenue, acquiring new and improved skill build upon new experiences and the list goes on.

There is also the cost factor which in some cases can be considerably cheaper if not free, when using these tools to advertise as opposed to using the more conventional methods available.

Advertising this way can also reach a bigger audience and the exposure gained will be worth the effort of using the best tool.

Providing prospective interest through the links will also bring in the traffic to the sites which again contributes to the desired revenue levels. Thus there is a definite advantage in understanding and choosing the best tools to be used towards making the site a success.

Pay Yourself First: The first law of wealth building

Many people desires great wealth, but the question is 'How many of us desiring wealth are actually working toward acquiring the wealth we wanted'? Few, very few. Many desired wealth greater than that of the wealthiest man who ever lived (King Solomon), but hardly do they work toward acquiring their dreams. 

Wealth Building
Mandela said it in one of his quotes that wealth and poverty are two different choices from which we choose. Wealth is like a profession that you must have adequate knowledge of - you can't become an Engineer without being trained as one, you can't become a Pilot without passing through the school of aviation, neither can you become Geologist without having adequate knowledge of solid or liquid matter that constitutes the earth. 

The same goes for wealth, you can't simply be wealthy if you don't have adequate knowledge of how to create wealth and sustain it.

What is Wealth?


Lot of people have shallow knowledge of what the word "Wealth" means. Some desires to be wealthy just because they think their life will be better of, without understanding what it means to be wealthy. I'll start with the dictionary meaning of wealth.

Wealth is defined as:

Noun:-  A great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches.

Economic:- Anything that has utility and is capable of being appropriated or exchanged. Utility an economic term referring to the total satisfaction received from consuming a good or service. Or the state of being useful, profitable, or beneficial.

Wealth is more than the amount of money you have in the bank(s) or at hand, it extends to all the valuable things one has and even far beyond the objects one can see. King Solomon is regarded as the wealthiest not only because of his riches, he was very intelligent and wise.  Having adequate knowledge or skills to earn, is wealth as well, as long as you can exchange your knowledge or skills for money. Robert T. Kiyosaki defined wealth in his own way, he said, 'Wealth is not the amount of money one has but the duration of time it spends in your possession'.

Am not an expert or wealthy yet, but am one of those learning how to be wealthy beyond monetary aspect alone. Leaving good legacy behind, to me is also wealth.

How do I start building my Wealth?


This article can't teach you all you need to know about wealth creation but will be another eye opener for readers. Many of us have read several books on how to make money or how to become a millionaire, billionaire etc. Some authors do advice readers to pay themselves first while others do skip this piece of advice. I myself do wonder what it means to pay myself first and kept asking how do I pay myself? I got the answer and the concept of paying oneself first shortly after reading 'The Richest Man in Babylon'.

The Concepts of Paying oneself first


When you ask people if the salary or wages they earn at the end of the month or work done is 100% theirs, their answer will be yes. But they are wrong if they don't pay themselves first. Let me break it down and tell you why the money you earn isn't yours until you start paying yourself first.

When you receive your salary at the end of the month or your wages at the end of the service you rendered, the next thing that comes to your mind is payong your bills or satisfying your wants. You will settle the electricity bill, water bill, school fees, go shopping, replenish your wardrobe, fix damaged furniture, etc. The money you spent doing these things are not going back into your pocket, you sure know that, at the point of exchange it belongs to someone else. 

The rest will surely be spent on transport and feeding until nothing or little is left before the next payment is done. Even if you save some of the money in the bank or using other savings method, you still didn't pay yourself if at the end of the day you exhaust it.

You will pay yourself first by saving nothing less than 10% of the amount you earned either on monthly, weekly or daily bases. This method may seem impossible because of the stack of bills you have to settle, it is however, the best you pay yourself first before settling every other bills. Paying yourself first is the first bill you must pay. 

Some do wait till the end of the month before saving the left over, am not condemning this act, but it has its shortcomings - you won't have anything to save when there is no left over, and it will become more difficult to save when expenditure increases.

Paying yourself first is very beneficial, and the benefits are as follows:

  1.  When you pay yourself first, you are mentally establishing savings as a priority. You’re telling yourself that you are more important than any other thing. Building savings is a powerful motivator — it’s empowering.

  2.  Paying yourself first encourages sound financial habits. Saving regularly makes you plan the way you spend your earnings wisely. Paying oneself takes a long time to develop as an habit because it has no immediate gratification.

  3.  By paying yourself first, you’re building a cash buffer with real-world applications. Regular steady contributions are an excellent way to build a nest egg. Paying yourself first gives you freedom — it opens a world of opportunity.

  4. By paying yourself first, you are saving for the future. When you start paying yourself first, you start making plan for the future when you won't be able to work anymore.

How do you pay yourself first?


The process of paying oneself first has been made easy in this era of technology. These processes offers the best method in such  painless manner, invisible and automatic. Many companies include retirement plan in their employees payment plans. One thing you must not forget is that your savings should be tied to goals - either immediate goals like buying a car, a house, studying, re-investing it into your business etc. or long term goals like retirement plan, establishing your business, planning for your children future, etc.

Here are three ways to start the process of paying yourself first:

  1. If your employer offers a retirement plan (most companies now offer compulsory retirement plans) — enroll as soon as possible, especially if the company matches your contributions.

  2. Open a high interest savings account at a bank - Set up automatic transfers into this account, either directly from your paycheck or from your regular bank account. Treat these transfers like you would treat any other financial obligation. This should be your first and most important bill every month.

  3. Direct depositing is another way to go. For those who are self-employed, it's hard to determine the amount to pay from month to month because the income is not fixed. There are times that they will earn much in a month and other times that they will earn very little. It should be at the back of your mind that no matter the amount earned, you must pay yourself. So, such person should have a bank account where he deposits his payment.

If 10% will be too much for you as a starter, you may start with an amount that is convinient for you. What you shuold not fail to are - never fail to save and never forget to increase the % as time goes on. And in case of those who earn big, you may save more than 10% and if at the end of the month you have something left you may save that as well. It will serve as a booster to your savings.
Financial peace isn’t the acquisition of stuff. It’s learning to live on less than you make, so you can give money back and have money to invest. You can’t win until you do this. –Dave Ramsey

The Benefits of Yam Farming and Production

Yam farming is obviously one of the most rewarding farm business in Africa for many good reasons. Yam is one of the most popular food staple in most African countries and beyond. It is prepared in our kitchens in many forms - pounded yam, porridge, friend yam, yam with vegetables - mention just a few. Without yam in the market, millions of African families may starve.

Yam is a source of huge income | WealthResult.com
Apart from feeding our stomach, yam has other nutritional and health benefits. Yams' complex carbohydrates and fiber slows the rate at which sugars are released and absorbed into the bloodstream. In addition, because they're rich in fiber, yams fill you up without filling out your hips and waistline. 

Yams are also a good source of manganese, a trace mineral that helps with carbohydrate metabolism and is a co factor in a number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses. That's how mother nature works; when She brings forth a food, She makes sure it integrates everything needed to contribute to your health and vitality. 

The Opportunities in Yam Farming

Yam is quite pricey in the market and no amount produced that will be enough let alone saturation. Yam can be exported too other countries to earn foreign currency and improve the economy of Africa. In ancient time down to very recently, the wealth of a man in Igboland is measured by the quantity of yam he harvested. Yam is a symbol of wealth in Igboland - likewise many other places. Has this changed? The answer is no - it is our recent acquired poor orientation towards farming that is trying to change it.

Ghana is the third largest yam producer in West Africa after Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire, but when it comes exportations, they are the leading exporter of yam accounting for over 94 percent of total yam exports in West Africa.


The big question is: How come Nigeria is the largest producer of yam in West Africa but Ghana is the largest exporter of yam in the same West Africa? Nigeria and Ivory Coast's eyes are still blind to the opportunities that exist in their hands. About 90 percent of Ghana’s yams are exported to the US, UK and the Netherlands.

The Profit in Yam Farming 

Do you know that 50,000 tubers of yam could make you N10 million in a year? And what does it take to harvest 50,000 tubers of yam in a year? A hundred meters of yam ridge takes 100 yam if spaced 1 meters apart which is the standard recommended spacing. That means that five hundred by five hundred meters of farm land can comfortably give you 50,000 tubers of yam in a year.

The problem we have in this country about farming is that we are not used to thinking big, we only think of farming as means of feeding our extended family in the village. No, farming is far beyond that, it can make you millions of dollars.

To cultivate 500 x 500 meters of farmland for yam, you will need N3-4 million and after harvesting and selling, you make N10 million selling locally, making a profit of N6 million in a year. How many of you makes N6 million in a year in your hustling in Oshodi and Alaba and other markets and streets in Africa? Why would you prefer to languish in poverty and hardship when there is plenty opportunity in Yam Farming? The season is about to begin, prepare now!

In the next article, I'll explain step by step how to start yam farming in Africa.
