Here are six easy search engine optimization (SEO) tips to help get your blog noticed.

1. Do your research. Keyword research is essential for on page optimization. Chances are you are naturally including keywords without realizing it simply by providing valuable content on a topic. However, there are a variety of tools and techniques for finding related keywords relevant to your blog post that you may not have considered. The Google Adwords Keyword Tool and semrush.com both offer great tools that allow you to find keywords related to your topic and even spy on your competition to see what words and phrases they are targeting to bring traffic to their sites.


2. Utilize keywords throughout your post. Once you have targeted a couple of valuable, relevant keywords, it is important to place them where they will have the most impact for humans and search engine crawlers indexing your content. Try to include them in the following places:
   • Title
   • Headings and subheadings
   • Introductory sentence
   • Concluding paragraph
   • Anchor text (text you hyperlink to other related pages on your site)
   • Title tags and meta descriptions
   A word of caution: Don’t engage in keyword stuffing, which is the act of filling your content with so many keywords that it becomes difficult to read. Not only will this irritate your blog followers, it will also get you penalized by Google. A couple of strategically placed keywords will do the trick.
   
3. Optimize your images. Whenever you upload a photo to your blog, be sure to include keywords in the file name and fill out the alternate text field with a brief, keyword rich description of the photo.


4. Reference others with links. When you mention another blogger or article in your blog post, include a link to the information you are referencing. Not only is it good blogging etiquette, but you may also get lucky and receive a link back. Quality links are a valuable commodity for any site looking to rank higher in search engine results pages.


5. Give readers the opportunity to subscribe to your blog. Include prominently placed RSS or Feed Subscription Buttons and offer viewers the ability to subscribe to your posts via email when possible. This allows your blog followers to have instant notification of your latest posts without having to periodically check your site for new content.


6. Use social media to broaden the reach of your blog posts. As a small business, you may be utilizing Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or other social media sites to create connections with potential and current customers. Why not promote your blog content on these sites for even more web exposure? Free programs like Hootsuite make it easy to post links to your latest blog post on all of your social media sites with just a couple of clicks. You can even schedule your posts ahead of time!

By following these simple SEO tips, you can encourage higher rankings in SERPS, increased web traffic, and higher customer conversion rates.

Angry Jambites embark on Night Protest

Skazyupdate

Over 70 angry applicants in Maiduguri on Wednesday night stormed the Nasara Computers, one of the only four registration centers in the city to protest over being registered for the upcoming Jamb examination. According to a Facebook user, Abubakar Terab, who shared the post, the students were protesting because the officials of the center were getting people who were not in the queue registered.

Abubakar also discloses that 'the main problem is that, the only four centers are not enough for applicants in Maiduguri, as they spend days in centers before getting registered.' He, however, called on the Borno State Government to intervene in registration challenges.

'It is high time the Borno State Government intervened. It's unfortunate that, time meant for studying in preparation for JAMB and other final year exams is now being spent in registration centers,' he said.

Is not really fair this  people are really pouring there heart out on this..

Syrian refugees in the US commend Trump for his missile strike against Syria

Syrian refugee, Rashid Mahmoud, who arrived the United States less than 2 years ago rejoiced at the news of American missiles pummeling a Syrian air base Thursday night, and struggled with praise for President Donald J. Trump, who has more often seemed like an antagonist than an ally.

Mr. Mahmoud, said in an interview on Friday at his new home in Lowell, Mass said:

“It was good to protect people, and I think it’s human — it’s required by humanity” .As for the president, he said, “I’m just supportive for yesterday, not all the time.”

Syrian refugees mostly welcomed an attack on the violent and oppressive Assad government they fled, even if they thought it was too little or too late. But they are unaccustomed to seeing Mr. Trump as any sort of advocate, and their praise for him seemed tentative.

Mr. Mahmoud and his family left their hometown, Afrin, northwest of Aleppo, and lived for years in Turkey, before getting permission to go to the United States. Just as they were about to leave, in late January, Mr. Trump’s first pass at an immigration order put their plans on hold; when courts struck down the order, they were finally able to enter the country, on Feb. 9.

So jubilation about an action by the president was “a new emotion,” he said, taking a break from a work sheet on English verb tenses.
Mohamad Chaghlil, 35, a woodworker from Damascus, said he hoped the missile attack — far too limited in his view to change the course of the war — would be the start of a major course correction by Mr. Trump. But he said he doubted it. And like some other refugees, he questioned why a poison gas attack that was blamed on the government prompted the American strike now, when earlier atrocities did not.

“I don’t have full idea why he did that now,” he said. “We lose hundreds of Syrian people every day, we lost more than half a million people in Syria. So why chemical attack is worse? Dead is dead. I can’t understand, and the Syrians can’t understand.”

Mr. Chaghlil and his parents left Syria for Jordan four years ago, then began the laborious process of gaining refugee status. After his father died last July, his mother had to revise her paperwork, he said, delaying her case, so while Mr. Chaghlil came to the United States in December, she remains in Jordan.

“I talk with her every morning,” he said. “She is old. She needs me, and I need her. I’m alone here and she is alone there.”

He said he worries about where American immigration policy will leave her, and still sees the president as anti-Muslim.

“I think he doesn’t care about who needs the support, and who is the murderer and who is the good person,” said Mr. Chaghlil, who was admitted to the country in December and lives in New Haven. “Maybe he felt he has to do something for politics.”

Ayham al-Asmi , who had been upset by Mr. Trump’s attempts to bar refugees, was so enthusiastic in his support for the airstrikes that he said he would vote for Mr. Trump if he could. He said more than 150 members of his extended family have died in the violence in Syria.

“He’s a national hero now,” he said of the president. “100 percent.”

Mr. Asmi, 34, who arrived in Worcester, Mass., about 18 months ago, said he had stayed up all night after seeing news of the raid on Facebook, contacting elated friends and family around the world.

“The Syrian people just gave up on anyone coming to their rescue,” he said through an interpreter, Amjad Bahnassi, who is a leader in his mosque. The attack, Mr. Asmi said, was “light at the end of the tunnel.”

Zelekha Mahmoud, 31, said the news of the American missile attack allowed her to hope that the war could come to an end, and that she, her husband, and their four small children, could return home. They settled in October in Chicago, and are adjusting to their new life. They pray and socialize at an Islamic center, the children go to school, and her husband has found work at a food packaging company. But she longs for Syria.
She says she is grateful that the United States has sheltered her and her family, but she remains wary of the welcome here; Mr. Trump’s travel orders at first made her fear they would be expelled.
When her husband joyfully told her of the strike:

“I was so happy,” she said, sitting in their apartment on Chicago’s North Side. “I feel that maybe now they will get rid of Assad so that Syria will be secure again, so we can return.”

Anwar Jebran, 28, who has lived in Chicago since 2013, said he and his family, had mixed feelings about the strike.

“We want peace, we want safety,” said Mr. Jebran, who recently graduated from medical school. “We don’t want more military, more weapons, more rockets.”

Mohamad Haidar, 47, who settled with his family in San Diego a year ago, said he feared that limited American strikes might escalate the war rather than tamp it down.

“If the U.S. wanted to interfere with military action it would be more beneficial to strike the presidential palace in Damascus,” said Mr. Haidar, who, with his wife and three children, fled their town southwest of Aleppo in 2012, moving at first to Indonesia. “The United States is capable of stopping the conflict in one month if they are taking it seriously.”

Unlike some others, he said he was not angered by Mr. Trump’s travel orders.

“I thought as the president, it is up to him to decide to decide what is beneficial to his own country,” he said. “But I wish they took into consideration in the decision how many innocent people are suffering and hurting in Syria.”
