Drive WebsiteTraffic with Google+


Google+ is popular as Facebook and Twitter but it’s definitely something that you can use to boost your traffic.
Here’s what you can do to use Google+ to drive traffic to your blog:
Create an Impressive Profile. The idea here is to present yourself as one of your potential clients so they can easily relate to you. List down your hobbies, your professional experience, your areas of expertise, the things that you do, etc. So make sure you create an impressive profile before you start mingling with other people so you can attract more attention.
Connect with People. Once you’ve created your Google+ profile/page, you need to start connecting with other Google+ members. Search for people you know first. Then look through the people they follow to find more interesting people to follow. As you spend time on blogs and other social web destinations, look for links to connect with interesting people on Google+.
Build your Reputation. This will happen if they consider you as an expert in your niche. Always remind yourself that your primary goal here is not to make an outright sale. So, avoid doing blatant ads. What you want to achieve first is to get your prospects to click the link that will take them to your articles.
Publish Interesting Content. Your Google+ stream of updates should be interesting and meaningful to your audience, DO NOT spam. Therefore, publish and share interesting updates and links that your target audience will find value in and appreciate seeing.
Integrate and Cross-Promote. Give people as many ways to find your blog and interact with you as possible. Use social media icons, Facebook social plugins, Twitter widgets, and so on to integrate your blog marketing efforts and cross-promote your content.
Focus your Time on being known as an Authority in your Field. Join discussions of industry leaders and talk about the most recent issues in your niche. Offer your opinions and ensure that your prospects will be amazed after reading them.
Be Active. Update your Google+ stream frequently. Make sure you spend time commenting on other members’ updates as well. Talk about their most pressing issues in details and provide the best solutions. Provide answers to questions, offer how-to guides, spill in trade secrets, and offer expert tips and advice. The more active you are, the more likely people are to remember who you are, recognize what your blog is about, and click through to read your posts.

Secure Your Accounts Against Cybercrime

The Internet enables us to do things we'd never have even dreamt about even a decade ago. We can buy and sell, learn and teach, meet new people and share experiences without ever leaving te comfort of our homes. But every coin, however, has a flipside, and new dangers stalk us while we're peacefully buying, selling, meeting and sharing.
You've seen the headlines - data breaches at LinkedIn, celebrity Twitter accounts hacked. Even Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is not immune to such attacks.
Thankfully, there are some simple precautionary measures you can take to help minimize the risks. Here are some tips.

1. Awareness

Knowledge is the best way to protect your digital identity. By knowing the dangers of the cyber world, you'll also get a better understanding of how to avoid them. Always find a couple of minutes a day read up on the latest security concerns and remain aware of potentially dangerous situations and vulnerabilities.

2. Anti-virus/spy software

These have long become a must-have for each and every web surfer. Viruses have evolved from simply damaging systems, erasing data and similar outward mischiefs. They can now be used as intricate tools for spying and retrieving your security data and gathering information, such as logins, passwords, keys, phone numbers, e-mails etc., etc.
Install anti-virus software, USB protection and adware blockers so that your device won't betray your interests. And at the same time, don't let such measures lull you into a false sense of security: run regular checks, and don't trust suspicious sites, even if your antivirus doesn't alert you. Scam masterminds are always working to stay a step ahead of the wardens.

3. VPN-services

If you use public Wi-Fi hotspots on a regular basis, a VPN becomes absolutely indispensable.
A VPN is the least protection measure you should use in order to secure your social network and e-mail accounts. It creates a secure encrypted connection between your device and VPN's server.
A VPN, however, is not a silver bullet.
While a VPN does make it harder for hackers and other cybercriminals to spy on you, it’s always better safe than sorry, and you should always avoid sharing potentially sensitive information while using public hotspots.

4. Password generators

Are you proud of your long and sophisticated password that, for years, has been reliable and safe for your multiple online accounts? Don't get too complacent.
In order to stay secure you should change your passwords regularly – and you should avoid using the same one across multiple accounts.
The older your password is, the weaker it becomes each day. If you've run out of ideas or you simply can't memorize new security keys, use a password generator.
These online services will take care of inventing and keeping safe a number of difficult to crack passwords for you.
If you still prefer to come up with your new paswords yourself, make sure they includes both capital and lower-case letters, and numbers also.

5. 2-step authentication

This is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to protect your accounts from being hacked. 
Double-secured accounts are entered through both password and a verification code, normally sent directly to a user’s phone. For some services (for example, online banking and payment systems) such measures are mandatory, but for most social media platforms they're optional. However, it's strongly recommended that you utilize such features for better security.

6. Restriction and blocking apps

This may come as a surprise, but most information breaches occur because a third party, entrusted with the information, leaks it unwittingly. “Third party” meaning your family, friends or even employees.
To be on the safe side you should use the advanced control settings on your devices and limit the sharing of such info to the fewest amount of people possible.

7. Privacy settings

Don't neglect the privacy settings on your social media accounts, applications and other resources which you share information through.
Sometimes the default settings are as far from private as can be and require immediate tweaking to ensure your security isn't compromised.
Make sure you share only what you mean to share, and only with whom you intend to share it with.
You may also want to avoid oversharing in order to maintain a level of anonymity online. Think twice before sharing another picture or clicking “Like” – cyber criminals pick up any shred of information they can get to learn about your tastes and preferences: this makes it easier for them to guess your passwords, secret code words and other information that is supposed to be private.

8. A touch of paranoia

Be suspicious - apply critical thinking and don't trust easily.
You may be sociable, amicable and open-hearted, yet experts advise to add contacts to your friend list only if you know them personally.
Being suspicious will help you avoid the bait set by phishing e-mails and sites and take pause before clicking on links that prompt you to  “Check THIS out!” from your trusted accounts. Double check - make sure the messages really are from one of your connections, not a foe in disguise, who has breached their account.
Also, think twice before sharing sensitive data through unsecured connections – you never know who else might be watching.
