In this era of blogging where almost every niche is becoming
competitive you might just be too busy doing other things that can make your
blogging business boom up or to win your competitors ,not knowing that
something somewhere is affecting your blog negatively.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In this case am talking about nothing else other than <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">broken links, </b>yes they are<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>very bad and can affect your blog
negatively. This broken links are some sometimes referred to as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">dead links</b> or even <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">404 links </b>by<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>most people<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">, </b>they are all the same<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This broken links are dead links (both internal and
external) which is not redirecting to anywhere else other than the 404 error
page, this is caused due to the blogger or webmaster deleting the page that you
are linking to or changing the permalink. Did you get it or are you still
confused about what I just explained? If yes, ok let me give an example:-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have a website where I am giving out free eBooks and you
now took to your blog to tell your readers about my website that I am sharing
free eBooks there, on the process you would try to link out to my blog
(external link), I might decide later on that am not going to be sharing free
eBooks anymore on my blog and maybe decide to delete that blog or webpage, if I
do so that your link that is pointing at that my particular webpage would be
pointing to a 404 page , why? Because the actual webpage that it was linking to
do no longer exist and the link will now be termed as a broken (dead) link. The
same thing is applicable if I decide to change the permalink. Hope you got it
right now?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Broken links is not good both in human eye and that of the
search engines, that’s why google recommended that you should regularly check
for broken links on your blog or website.</div>

Link building is one of the most difficult task that a serious-minded blogger has to complete in order to attain the position that he wants to be  on search results and to enjoy the excess organic traffic that is coming from search engines.

Blogging as we all know has changed from being a thing done out of passion to being a lifetime job for some people</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many Nigerian youths or let me say many <b>Nigerian</b>s today have their own <b>blog</b>(s) where they write articles that is related to their <b>niche</b>.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Creating</b> a blog this days can be  done within some minutes. There are many platforms in which you can create your blog on,but out of the many platforms we have two popular platform which is <b>blogger and WordPress</b> </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Blogger:</b> Blogger is a platform  owned by Google inc that allows you to create and run your blog for free,you are only required to have a Google account to have access to blogger . Though blogger have some policies guiding them in which if you go against it might lead to your blog being deleted at any time they like.<br>
So if you are on blogger platform or you are still planning to join i advice you to read their policy and try not to go against it</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>WordPress</b> : WordPress as of the time that i published this post is the most popular blogging system in use on the web .There are two ways that you can  use to kick start your blog on WordPress. you can choose to host your WordPress blog on your own server (self hosted WordPress) or you can use the free WordPress platform at wordpress.com <br>
but i will advice you to go for a self hosted WordPress platform .</p>
<p dir="ltr">So having created your own blog its time to know what it takes to build a profitable blog  that will stand out from the rest.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">Here is what to do (consider) in other to make your blog a profitable one</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>1. Choose a niche :</b> This is the first thing that you have to consider before going into blogging. <br>
One of the biggest mistake that newbies make is choosing a blogging niche that they don't have passion for or  the niche that is extremely broad or overly saturated don't decide to be on a niche because you know or have heard of someone  that earns  mouth-watery monthly income from the same niche,choose a niche that you wont wake up one day and run out of what to write,choose a niche that you are passionate in be it if it is on 'how to wash clothes' you will gain audience in the niche and earn some cool cash on it if you work hard<br></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>2.Advertise your blog:</b> You want to build a profitable blog? then you have to invest on adverts, it helps to drive more readers to your blog<br>
, a blog is nothing without readers it is just like a teacher teaching in an empty class room </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>3. Blog commenting :</b> Yes! blog commenting helps a lot. It is one of the most effective way of creating awareness for your blog and also it helps in link building which is a key factor in ranking well for your keywords in search engines. When i say blog commenting,don't think that it is all about dropping unreasonable comments in peoples blog no,blog commenting is all about reading and understanding the aims and objectives of  the topic that you want to comment on and dropping a reasonable comment on it.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>3.Apply SEO tactics:</b> SEO is an acronym that simply means '<b>search Engine Optimization</b>'.<br>
