The commute has long been the bane of many of our lives. Hours spent mindlessly in transit are not productive, nor are they any fun at all. However, these days things are a little easier, partly in thanks to the fact that we are all always connected, all of the time. The commute need no longer be dead space, completely wasted. We can keep up to date with deals and transactions, or simply relax. The commute doesn’t need to be the stress it once was.
Keep On Top Of Your Work
Working on the go has never been simpler. Even when a WiFi connection isn’t at your fingertips, most people now have 4G on their phones which can be used to tether a connection wherever you are. You can stay up to date with emails, make calls, and you can even download work related apps like Slack or the CMS used in your office; right on your phone. The commute can now be spent working if you want as well, killing two birds with one stone. Just ensure that you’re not being overworked by your boss for no extra pay!
One of the best ways to take your mind off things after a long day is with a basic task designed to stimulate your mind and also entertain. Online gaming quite literally ticks all of the boxes in that respect. If you’ve never tried slots games online, 32Red is literally a perfect intro, with so many different themes to choose from, like Tomb Raider and Game of Thrones! Of course, there are other games available across the web, such as on Jackpot247 wich can also be played on the go so you’re not using them to procrastinate too much. Why not check out what 32Red can offer in terms of the aspects of popular culture that you already know and love?!
Music
Those days when you forget your headphones are an absolute nightmare, that’s for sure! However, when you’ve come prepared, you have pretty much every song ever written at your fingertips, all of the time! From Spotify to SoundCloud, right through to your prized downloaded collection, there’s an abundance of music that can make the journey that much easier.
Yep, now you can even catch up on the latest drama quite literally, all whilst you’re on the go. Netflix might be slow on streaming when your connection isn’t great, but for the most part, you can still catch up. Just be careful – if you’re a fan of anything a little weird, remember that out of context, other commuters might seriously judge your viewing choices….
Reading
You don’t need to transport a ton of books around anymore just because you want to read! Obviously, all the best publications are online. In fact, sadly, some won’t even exist in print anymore – the Independent for example is finally stopping. However, you can still ready great articles (ahem) when you’re out and about and on the go!

Creating a well-designed website means more than just to make a few adjustments in an editor and hope to have the best results in the end. Nowadays, your website needs to look impeccable and you must have a captivating design, or your users will quickly click away and go to your competitors. Remember that a flashy and colorful approach is not the best one, as it could be confusing to the users and they might get intimated by it. Instead, go with a simple, sleek and attractive overall look.
Avoid Using Inaccurate Sliders
Even though sliders might seem like a fun way to pick out the range you want avoid their use. They can be frustrating to users as often they will be inaccurate and it will take enormous precision to set what you want. Rather, be sure to use fields where you can enter the values yourself, as it will provide the site with a cleaner and sleeker look from the start. Keep in mind that often the solution that looks the best could end up causing people to click away from your website.
Can Everyone Read Your Font?
You need to adjust the font size so that it can work in responsive web design as well. More people are browsing the Internet via their handheld devices and it is going to be a big problem if you cannot adjust the letters for everyone to see. Furthermore, if you have the scaling wrong as well, the website will look like a jumbled puzzle the user needs to figure out how to use. Be sure to test it out beforehand, to avoid having frustrated users clicking away and searching for other websites. Responsive design will be especially a must for e-commerce websites, as they need to provide clear and accessible information.
Are You Using the Right Platform?
Be sure to avoid using dodgy platforms when designing your website as it could lead to you having to compensate for a lot which the original does not include. Instead of using a lot of plugins to have the bare basics others include, look into what Squarespace, WordPress and Sydney-based Magento has to offer. Moreover, the simplicity of the platform will allow for better results and a finely tuned website that will look simply amazing and pleasing to the eye.
Keep Your Site Easily Accessible and Clean
It is very important to have your website layout well thought out, otherwise it will be confusing for the users and they might find it hard to get what they were looking for. Simple and easy navigation needs to be set up to make it easy for anyone to find their way around your website. This improvement will be especially necessary if you are planning to sell something because jumping from one category to another will be often required. Furthermore, it will make it stress-free for the users to move around and see things they might get interested in and buy in the end.
Running a good e-commerce website will mean that you need to adjust and tweak your site often to have everything easily accessible for the users. Unless you make sure that the flow of the design is good and that it can work on responsive interfaces as well, you need to sit down and get back to designing it once more. Ensure that it is a pleasant experience or your users will think likewise and click away to your competitors. Avoid common mistakes by making sure that you follow through and choose a design that is simple, elegant but easy and fun to use.

The best app i found is ZenScale in which you can measure a distance upto 50mm, this all can be possible just by using the Laser focus which is there on the back of the device.
Overall the UI is Smooth like a butter.

Asus has just Released a short film on real life Heroes from the experiences of people.
ASUS recognizes the contribution of the people, who work through the night in the dark to help others for no purpose just for the reason of humanity. The film is a documentary on real-life experiences of three ordinary common Mumbaikars. These people are being helped when are in emergencies at middle of the night, they receive aid from responsible citizens. Called the ‘Low Light Heroes’ by ASUS, such citizens put their personal comfort aside to come and rescue others at odd hours.
The film portrays the stories of Pooja Banerjee, Ramesh Narang and Aditya Shah, three Mumbai residents who really needed urgent help at a time when it is almost impossible to find it. Yet, they are given a proof of Mumbai, and in turn, the country’s selflessness through people whose contribution to making the society a better place, is generally forgotten. From policemen who keep the city safe to taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers who ensure that people reach their destinations, from rail motormen who keep the city running even past midnight to road construction workers who repair roads, this film is ASUS’ tribute to their sacrifices and dedication.
Peter Chang- Regional Head, South Asia and Country Manager for ASUS India said, “We are committed to India and ensure that our contribution has a positive effect in propelling the country’s growth and development. There are inspiring stories about unsung heroes all around us. Yet, most people are unaware about them. We are happy to have received some touching stories from people and are proud to bring such ‘Low Light Heroes’ under the flash. These citizens, under the garb of ordinariness, perform extraordinary deeds. They not only make our lives easier, but quite often, restore our faith in humanity.”
The concept of the film emerged from ASUS’ very own PixelMaster low-light mode feature which allows the camera to capture crystal clear and sharp images even in low light conditions. Like the camera mode, the gallant acts of the ‘Low Light Heroes’ only come to light at night, when the rest of the city sleeps.

A killer landing page generates leads, referral and sales, it looks like normal website but operates little differently. Literally, it is use to drive the visitors toward conversions by getting them to click through to a specific action. Here are few essential tips which will enable you to design a killer landing page.
Step 1: BUILD AN ACTIONABLE AND CREATIVE HEADLINE
Good website design company concentrates on actionable and creative headline. It tells the visitor how they can get it. The headline should not generic, instead you should remind visitors why they are on your web page. Use a descriptive headline.
Step 2: CATER CONTENT TO THE STAGE OF THE SALES CYCLE
Stage based marketing also applies with landing page of webpage.Visitors land on your web page to get the certain information on web page so in this scenario the page content needs to cater those preferences. Consider including a quick bulleted list describing the benefit of your offer, testimonial of the client or case study logos.
Step 3: KEEP THE CONTENT CLEAR AND CONCISE
Vast majority of the visitor don’t read the full article and content. They generally focus on top and left side of the page and before leaving the site they read 28% of the word on the page. The first paragraph of the content should be enough punchy and effective, thereby visitor may get the necessary information. If possible divide the content into groups and make sure to write it clear and concise.
Step 4: TRY TO KEEP THE LANDING PAGE AND FORM SHORT
If you want to convert your lead into sales, then simplify your path to conversion make it easy for them. Too many steps before actual conversion, probably you may lose the visitor, so from here try to landing page and form short and don’t make your leads jumps through hoops just to give you their information.
Step 5: KEEP VISITOR ENGAGE
The job is not finished after converting the lead into sell rather keep your visitor engage on your site with a compelling thank you page. Make your thank you page compelling with some additional engagement like videos and case studies.
Step 6: TEST THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR LANDING PAGE
Don’t go for guesswork, test the performance of landing page by data and find out for sure what works and what does not. Some tools are available like marketing automation, which is ideal one to test the calls to action, offers, headlines and colors.
Each smartphone company has a flagship that will mark the brand and which many will like. However, with so many phones to choose from, it comes as no surprise that people have a hard time finding the perfect one for yourself. Keep in mind that mobile phones are changing at a rapid speed, making it impossible to stay with one for a longer time. This is only an indicator that you should pick your phone carefully, as chances are that you will be looking for a new one. Nevertheless, flagship signature phones are going to come equipped with new technology and abilities to amaze you.Best Smartphone Flagship in the Year 2016
One of the More Prominent Candidates
Going for the LG G4, you cannot make a wrong decision. Not only is it a stylish phone, but it has many goodies hidden. It will take some time to unravel its many new features which will make your life a lot easier. However, for most people, the battery life might be a deterrent, as the phones will last some time, though it will be unable to keep at it for long. Its great screen size will allow you to view your images and videos in sharp HD. LG is keeping it faithful with their edgy and sharp design that gives this phone its amazing looks, and its recognizable appeal as well.
Going With What Everyone Likes
iPhones are generally a good choice, if you want a reliable and trustworthy phone. Though, you need to make sure that you do not get a botched one, because it could get locked, and your phone becomes unusable. Fortunately, there are many services which will be able to help you, i.e. Sydney-based iPhone repairs will be able to provide you with a myriad of useful advice. Then again, if you need to your phone fix for any reason, it would be wise to visit them, as they will have great knowledge on how to go about most problems. Be sure to take good care of your phone, as repairing it might get costly.
Google Is Stepping It up With a New Generation Phone
Make sure to give googles second generation phone-tablet a chance as well. With this phone, you will be able to fully customize your Android experience. The Nexus 6P is an amazing piece of hardware meets software that could be your new phone. Depending on what you need your phone for, this masterpiece will come equipped with tons of features which might come in handy. Then again, the lack of some qualities which competitor phones have might be a huge disadvantage, especially if you consider the price of the phone.
Even though the year has just begun, already, you have a large selection of phones to choose from. Be sure to take into consideration your needs, and your budget when opting for a new phone, because some might be too pricey. Bear in mind that go with a trusted brand, because new faces in the business could be risky to trust. Before you make your choice though, consider what the competitors are offering, and what makes their flagship phone better than the rest. Being loyal to a certain brand might prove dicey if they have not made a good phone in the near-past.
Choosing a domain name is one of the first decisions people launching a new website have to make. Even though the name is not a ranking factor in its own right, it affects the search engine optimization (SEO) and social media marketing (SMM). What is more, domain represents the name of the website, and is an integral part of how the internet functions. It does not require advanced internet knowledge and technical expertise to realize what kind the role it has on the big online stage.
A name to remember
To understand the importance of domain names, one must first get into the basic factors that affect them. Those are memorability, keyword and SEO potential. We shall focus on the second factor, as it leads to understanding the real SEO value of domain names. So, the first thing to note is that those containing frequently searched keywords are the cream of the crop because they drive traffic from the mighty search engines.
You could say that names may have predefined popularity and inherent worth. However, they do not give a considerable boost to the ranking on their own.
Instead, keywords that appear in a top level domain (TLD) serve as a relevancy signal, while the ones in a subdomain provide a slight boost. The trick, of course, is to purchase a name that features targeted keywords, not just any ones. Exact match domains (EMDs) are popular because they perfectly echo the keyword phrase you are targeting. Yet, they are less beneficial than before, and this trend might reach new depths in the future.
This means that keyword potential should not be your only concern when pinpointing the appropriate domain name.
That being said, premium keywords can increase the click-through rates (CTRs) on ads and SERP listings. Namely, ads that contain a generic domain name, with a keyword that is an exact match to the product, perform better than alternative generic or non-generic domains. Furthermore, prime domain names tend to be shorter, up to six letters, due to the fact that they are more memorable.
Now, notice that these benefits depend on the volume of search that certain keywords generate. Therefore, a proper research is needed in order to find out what rewards you may hope to reap. Also, you can expect the vast majority of premium keywords to be registered, making them hard to obtain.
Extended universe
Another thing to keep in mind is the domain extension. In most cases, a .com extension is the best one money can buy, and 75% of all websites have it as a suffix. Still, as we pointed out, they are not easy to get. For that reason, a multitude of new generic top-level domains were introduced.
Today it is possible to domain hack a name that uses an extension as a part of the word or phrase, which usually shortens the URL. Examples of such killer combinations with country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) are Find.ME, Hire.ME,Around.ME, Fund.ME, etc. In this case, by utilising .me domain, these addresses convey a point without being too bulky. What is more, Google itself prefers sites with local server IPs and domain name extensions that are country-specific.
Keywords, however, do not give you the whole picture of domain name’s nature. The final piece of the puzzle is commercial interest. For example, a funny phrase is not as valuable as a word that is related to an established product or a brand.
The domain name is a foundation upon which branding process takes place, so make sure you pick a “brandable” name. It determines how the customers will find, remember and perceive your business. One other thing about brands is that Google adores them. They give this corporate giant a map showing where in the immense cesspool lies a buried treasure and what parts are to be marked as trash.
Premium membership
Choosing a domain name is one of the most important aspects of establishing an online identity. Thus, adomain name should reflect your brand, and capture the message you are trying to communicate. We all want a domain name that is memorable, short and includes some popular keyword. But, if you want to go cheap, you might as well be looking for a needle in a haystack. When you do find a suitable one, you should not hesitate to bid for it at an auction site or acquire it from the owner himself. Hot domain names are worth thousands of dollars, but they are also an investment worth making.
In this day and age, technology has become a part of our day to day lives. We live and breathe technology. Technology has persistently continued to flourish in all fields. From medicine to education, everyone is using technology to almost everything. A lot of apps has been developed in our devices that are way over the charts. These apps have simplified our lives and made things more entertaining for us. Nowadays, apps are being used everywhere. There are apps that are being used for health matters whereby they get to track your vitals saving you a visit to the doc. Others are there to motivate you on particular journeys such as weight loss journeys. Others are there to comfort you and ease your burdens like for the cancer patients. In short, everything. Well, new apps are developed each and every day. I have compiled 5 apps that are new but are also really amazing, and you just have to download them.
Habitica
It is a rather new app. It has not been out there in the market for a long time, but I’m almost sure this app will do great wonders.
It does not have much to do with wearable technology everyone is so fond of, but the things it can do are truly something.
Being a new year at least for some of us, most of us always have the need to write down our resolutions. Let’s face it, most of us only follow them or try to attain them in the first few months but after that, we totally forget and are back to our usual, unchanged selves.
Well, this app will help you keep and maintain your resolutions. This app usually provides you with a digital avatar that often gains experiences as you continue advancing with your goals.
The best part of it is that you set your goals or targets, and as you continue to achieve them, your Habitat character continually improves. It is a great app as it will show you your progress in a more clear way. It is brand new technology.
It is fun to use and also a great motivator to continue with your goals. If you lag behind, this app will show you exactly that and get you focused again. Try this app and am sure you will love it.
Accomplish
It is another app that you really must download. Sometimes, organizing yourself and your daily tasks can be very hectic.
On another hand, failing to plan can lead you to have a very bad day as you may end up forgetting some of the things that you intended to do. This app helps you organize your day to day duties and even shows you reminders.
With this app, you can get to organize your tasks and then add them into a day planner. With this app, you also get to add time to your to-do list so as to approximate the amount of time you may use on your various tasks.
The great thing about this app is that it is very easy to use, very classy and elegant as you get to play around with different colors.
Mirrativ
It is one app that you must have. Because it is very new, it has some few hitches here and there, but it is slowly being developed and updated.
This app allows you to stream anything that is happening on your screen and also your camera.
With this app, you can share what you are doing on various platforms such as Facebook and also with your friends. You can also communicate and interact with other users through comments.
Adobe Photoshop Mix.
It is an app that allows you to photo-edit images and also replaces your photo editor on your device. It has some fantastic features such as some photo filters that enable you to create some amazing pictures.
Another great thing about this app is that it can sync with Photoshop on your very own P.C authorizing the process of photo-shopping easier and more fun. Try this app and you will be impressed especially if you are a picture kind of person.
Define
This app helps you with your English and pronunciation. The best part of this app is that you can use it while off-line.It provides you with definitions, synonyms and also usages.
On top of that, it uses 3 dictionaries, so it gives you the most accurate answers. These dictionaries are Livio, Wordnet, and Urban Dictionary, although you have to be online to use the Urban Dictionary. This app is fun and very educative.
Push marketing is slowing down. Outbound marketing strategies are being taken over by inbound strategies. Data-driven or targeted marketing is gaining momentum with huge databases as the backbone—the scene is all about databases of target audiences, publishing platforms, and aspiring publishers. Building the right inventory, and mapping it to the right publishing platforms, based on data about the target audience, is a real challenge that can be addressed only through excellent media planning solution software.
The challenge multiplies manifold across a multitude of channels, operating systems, and devices. Websites, social media, smartphones, messaging apps, emails—the channels are many; cross-channel campaigning is growing in complexity. That is why ad formats are many—from plain text links to graphical display ads and interactive videos of varying sizes and features.
Targeting the right customer and delivering the right message at the right time is very important to garner the most desirable response at the least cost. Cutting through the marketplace noise with relevant messages is no easy task. Powerful and sophisticated campaign management solutions are necessary if you want to collate all the data productively and harvest the best results.
Effective programmatic solutions help advertisers reach thousands of ideal customers through geographical, demographic, and behavioral targeting. Unified data gives deep insights that help individualized targeting. Rightly identifying and connecting with customers across paid, earned, and owned channels simplify the entire marketing process.
The right media buying software can help strike the right chord. A mediocre software product might give you the semblance of reduced load and improved effectiveness. But you won’t know the difference until you experience the power of custom-deployed media buying software. Automating routine tasks helps you save time and energy, ensure consistency, eliminate errors, and free up to focus on strategy, planning, and optimization.
Media planning solutions must track each campaign regarding cost, impact, and returns. The right technology can create reports for internal analysis of campaign management and be used for future planning and client presentations.
Powerful and easy-to-use media planning solutions help to:
Access information on the lifestyles and media habits of relevant demographic and geographic groups
Profile prospective customers based on that data
Identify publishing platforms with high potential of earning targeted audiences
Compare costs and return on audience (ROA) for various publishing platforms
Schedule campaigns for over a year, including lull periods
Analyze the impact of entire campaigns
Analyze and compare multichannel performance
Create and view reports with powerful analytics and reporting tools
Simplify media analysis by parameters like market, client, campaign, product, and flight date
Provide up-to-date summaries of the marketing expenses and returns
Banking-grade security for all your data and transactions
In the era of highly complex media activities and customer behaviors, a highly powerful media buying software is the best solution to ensure you best results with optimum inputs.

Content marketing is definitely the best way to engage customers and show a company’s credibility at the same time. This type of marketing increases website traffic and conversion rates, which leads to increased customer loyalty and higher revenue.
If we tried to explain the digital content marketing strategy in brick and mortar business terms, it would be a promotional strategy that attracts customers (with free books, magazines, concerts and cinema) to spend most of their free time inside the stores, and one day or another they will definitely buy the product that is on display.
Best Content Marketing Tools to Use
1. HubSpot
This highly popular marketing platform is made by the eponymous company, which is one of the most respected names in inbound marketing. Since its foundation, HubSpot has been dedicated to implementing successful content marketing strategies (often implemented on their own web presentations), running one of the most popular marketing blogs, and developing this highly praised marketing tool.
HubSpot Marketing Platform enables its users to create complete marketing funnels. It comes with very detailed navigation that leads users through inbound marketing strategy development and implementation processes. HubSpot comes with lots of features, options and metrics to play with. Since inbound marketing should consist of many different promotional segments, platform offers a long list of features that deal with each piece of the inbound mosaic. Platform offers apps that enable users to:
Create Content – several HubSpot apps are used for scheduling, assigning, writing and optimizing blog and website posts, as well as creating the landing and call to action pages and newsletter emails.
Optimize – HubSpot’s SEO app contains keyword research tool. It also includes rank tracking, competition research and measures organic traffic and page performance.
Network – Social Network app enables users to create and run many different social network accounts
Analyze – Analytics app is used for measuring the whole marketing funnel. It is also good for measuring total company revenue, and finding out its prime sources.
Like all other marketing platforms HubSpot also comes with a few disadvantages. It doesn’t offer approval processing (based on workflow), appropriate PPC integration and has a lot of problems with calculating campaign’s ROMI.
2. Copify
Content marketing requires top-notch content. Although the popularity of video and audio content will grow rapidly in the future, well-written articles still rule the web, and we can expect this written word popularity bonanza to continue in 2016.
But not all web administrators are good with writing, and hiring a professional writer on a regular basis can seriously hurt a company’s budget. Most content marketing experts advise companies to ask for freelancer help on websites like Upwork, Freelancer or Fiverr. But we should ask ourselves, how reliable are writers who bid on our job-posts? That’s where Copify jumps in, with its team made out of several hundred experienced copywriters. They offer many different types of written content, from articles and blog posts to press releases and e-commerce content. Monthly blog packages are also on the offer, where the whole of a company’s blog can be assigned to one or several writers from Copify’s team.
Although it’s always advisable for company experts to become involved in a content marketing strategy, companies and outsourcing marketing experts who feel they don’t have enough capacity to produce top-notch content, will definitely benefit from hiring Copify writers.
3. Dibz.me
Four Dots is one of the fastest growing inbound marketing agencies and their success is partly credited to the fantastic link prospecting tool made by their developers. Since their SEO work often involves building relevant links, developers from this agency decided to create Dibz.me and help their colleagues facilitate the most laborious part of their job, searching for adequate websites and blogs for creating quality backlinks.
The app comes with a user friendly search form that requires link builders to enter relevant criteria for making their search more advanced and accurate. It also uses large set of metrics in calculating website’s potential, including:
Spam factors– Dibz.me excludes websites with spam keywords, content and links;
Domain authority– Very important parameter that in case of Dibz.me is taken directly from Aherfs Site Explorer.
Referring domains and pages– This app inspects referring domains, since they tell us a lot about website’s reputation.
Social Shares– Dibz.me counts website’s social shares on networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+.
Search results on this app are presented in a very transparent and systematic way. Domains are listed in tables with above mentioned metrics written in each row. Users can also check website’s preview and instantly access websites they prefer. Tables are easy to use and they can also be downloaded and added to different outreach tools.
Although Google algorithm is constantly changing, backlinks still represent one of the most important criterions for website ranking. With this in mind, we can say that Dibz.me is a very useful tool for everyone who wants to improve their website’s search engine visibility. It will enable link builders to skip manual searches, and invest more time into creating good-quality content, which will be gladly shared by respected website and blog administrators.
4. BuzzSumo
When browsing the BuzzSumo website you will be amazed by the number of famous corporate clients who are using this app. The list starts with huge corporate entities like Yahoo and IBM and it also includes highly popular content publishers like: National Geographic, TED and Rolling Stone. All these big names use BuzzSumo for a reason.
BuzzSumo enables its users to find fresh content trends and discover how topics they would like to write about resonate on many different social media websites. For these searches, the app offers a long list of different metrics, so users can find topics by domain, time period, specific social network, type, or other criteria listed under the Advance Operators option.
Subscribed users also get:
Alerts for content, which is published, linked and shared by client’s competitors;
Ability to discover and analyze content posted by respected niche influencers;
Many different functions that enable them to do advanced content research, scheduling and analysis.
5. Outbrain
This app is fully dedicated to content promotion. Although it is a pay-to-play option, it definitely deserves a place on this list because it can share content on some of the most popular and respected websites, including ESPN, CNN, and the Daily Telegraph.
People who browsed the web lately couldn’t miss the sponsored “recommended content” pop-ups that can be seen in the bottom of various web pages. Many of these pop-ups were paid by Outbrain and they share relevant and niche-specific content from their client’s websites. This company, in broad terms, establishes the connection between content publishers, which results in more satisfied viewers and an increased number of visits and conversion rates.
Outbrain enables users to select their daily budget (which can’t be less than $10). It uses the cost-per-click charging concept, which means that users pay only after somebody opens their link. All this makes Outbrain a great choice for companies and marketers who want to amplify their posts’ outreach and gain a greater audience.
Content marketing is slowly becoming the most popular digital marketing trend. One of the reasons for this is that big companies are entering the content game, which leads to a situation where millions of publishers are creating tons of free content for business purposes. With all this in mind, we hope that you realize how each piece of useful tech, such as the apps we listed in this article, is becoming an essential tool for ensuring your content receives the attention it deserves.
When you have a website that you want to promote, you naturally want a professional and knowledgeable company to assist you in your efforts. Whether it’s writing a blog or producing copy for your landing page or other pages on your site, you often need the assistance of a professional company to make sure that your site produces results and allows your business to make money. One of the most important areas of your website is your blog, as it not only produces valuable information, but also educates customers and visitors alike on issues that they are interested in. Choosing a company to write your blog and submit articles to others’ blogs is a very important first step. Fortunately, this is easy once you know what you are looking for.
What Is Involved in Writing a Blog ?
Blogs are incredibly important, and they are often one of the first areas of a business’s website that people look at. Reaching out to people through your blog is not only smart, but if done correctly, it can turn visitors into customers. When looking for a company to handle your blogger outreach, there are numerous things to consider. These include:
How much outreach have they done with genuine bloggers, and how good are they at developing relationships with these bloggers?
Do they place links within the content so that a natural placement occurs?
Do they adhere to stringent specifications and quality control for all placements?
Do they have a good portfolio of bloggers that span across all industries and subject matters?
Can they create excellent content that people will actually want to read?
Can they ensure that the content will be delivered quickly?
Bloggers exchange information all the time, and this reciprocal arrangement benefits both sides. When it comes to writing your own blogs and submitting articles to other another business’s blogs, you need an experienced company that knows what it is doing and will put your business’s goals first.
What Should You Do First ?
Exploring companies that can write your blogs and contribute to others’ blogs is not difficult. Most of these companies perform a variety of steps once they get your business. Their outreach to other bloggers will begin immediately, but they only submit to blogs that meet certain standards. This increases the chances of your blog producing the results you want.
Regarding writing of content, these companies will use only professional and experienced copywriters that will guarantee the content is both informative and easy to read. The information will also be relevant to both your website and the audience of your blog. They will make sure that if the content is not producing well, it will be edited somewhat so that it becomes more relevant. In addition, most companies assign you an account manager who is with you throughout the entire campaign so you can get your questions and concerns addressed at each step.
Choosing a company that assists you in your blog efforts is easy if you know what to look for. Researching the company online and asking questions is the first step to finding the company that will ensure that your marketing efforts will be successful.
Today’s age is all about data connectivity. Your life comes to a standstill as soon as there is no data connectivity on your phone. Imagine traveling to a new place with no Google Map or imagine you are hungry and want to order food using a food app but there is no data on your phone.
But thanks to revised telecom regulations and an ever increasing mobile-savvy customer group, prepaid subscribers today are spoil for choice with mobile operators coming out with exciting prepaid data plans from time to time.
In this article, we have done a comparison of 3G prepaid mobile data plans in Karnataka for Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Aircel and BSNL for 2016. To keep things simple, we have compared only standard plans for 300MB, 1GB, 2GB and 5GB data.
From what it appears, Aircel has the cheapest standard plans for 3G prepaid Mobile Data Packs. Airtel, on the other end, turns out to be the most expensive.
Comparison of 3G Prepaid Data Pack Pricing for 300MB
BSNL does not provide a 3G data plan for 300MB. Airtel turns out to be the costliest with users shelling out Rs.103 for 14 days validity.
Comparison of 3G Prepaid Data Pack Pricing for 1GB
Aircel is a clear winner in this band with users paying only Rs.148/- for 30 days validity.
Comparison of 3G Prepaid Data Pack Pricing for 2GB
BSNL is a winner in this band where subscribers have to pay Rs.451/- for 60 days validity. Aircel is a close second with subscribers paying Rs.255/- for 30 days validity.
Comparison of 3G Prepaid Data Pack Pricing for 5GB
Vodafone and Idea has no specific plans for 5GB 3G data. Here too, Airtel turns out to be the costliest with subscribers paying Rs.955/- for 28 days validity.
This is only for Karnataka Circle. Plans and prices may slightly vary from circle to circle but overall the trend remains the same.

Opinions matter, good or bad! They are the instant judgment of people who have not had prior experience with the subject. And these days anything with a bad review is frowned upon, be it a restaurant, movie or even an app. Here are top 10 Ways to Get Awesome App Reviews
So how can you get a good review for your app? Here are some suggestions.
1. App Review Plugins are the Best
Plugins that prompt the user to review your app are available for iOS and Android platforms. You can take the easy way out by asking people to review it within your app.
Just ask people you know to honestly rate the app and keep an open forum for feedback. It paves the way for new ideas and communication, and is a sure-fire approach to help solve queries. Well appreciated and satisfied users would even give you a better rating.
2. It is the Support that Matters
A website, blog, or a list of FAQs is a great way to provide app support as it provides users several direct ways to contact you. If reviews in the Play Store consist of queries and complaints, do take the initiative to reply and attempt to solve the issue. Integrating Helpshift into your app creates a live interaction with your users.
Users never take bugs and crashes lightly, and are immediately harsh with bad reviews and one-star ratings. But you have to know, it may be because they think this is the only way to reach you and bring your attention to the matter.
3. Delay Sending the Review Prompt
While prompting app users to review the app while they are using it is not uncommon, it’s a better idea to wait for a decent interval before asking them for a review. If users are prompted to review the app upon opening it for the first time, you can be assured of negative feedback. Instead, let users explore the app for a while and ask them for a review after a reasonable usage interval.
You can also request a rating first and then ask for a review in the next prompt, like Circa, the news app does. They ask users if they enjoy using the app, and then slyly ask them to rate the app and provide additional feedback. As the review prompt is embedded into the newsfeed itself, the users do not feel it being forced upon them.
4. A Great App is a Sure Winner
It goes without saying that building a great app is undoubtedly the most important factor to get a good evaluation. Your app should always offer something of additional value. This would become the reason for people to choose your app, utilize it well and recommend it to others.
5. Roll Out Regular App Updates
While you might be tempted to release all the tweaks in one go, it is a proven strategy to slowly improve the usage of the app. Granted that you have a built an awesome app, however, you can tweak some basic functionality and improve user experience.
Although this seems to be a snarky approach, remember your initial idea is your selling point. Whatever you add on later is just enhancing the wow factor. Whether it is changes to the design, interface or features, frequent updates definitely promise a better future for the app.
6. Monitor and Read Reviews on Time
If you never look and respond to existing reviews, why would someone else review your app in the first place?
App reviews are loaded with feedback, feature requests, suggestions, complaints, better ideas, and what not. Don’t neglect the reviews that are staring you in the face. Keep an eye out for what people are saying about your creation. If you delay your responses by a few months, those users may have already changed over to the next big thing.
7. Incentivize Users
While some users may be tired of receiving incentives to rate apps, it is sometimes the easiest way to get an app reviewed. Gaming apps often offer points for ratings and reviews. However, it isn’t the most recommended step as the iOS platform is strictly against incentives.
8. Look Beyond the Play Store Reviews
These reviews do grant you a place in the search results. But take negative reviews with a pinch of salt. Sometimes people just don’t like to review apps, even great ones. If your app is mentioned in a positive tone, then you don’t even require the review. Remember Whatsapp Messenger grew, not due to good reviews on Playstore, but because of what it offered and word of mouth.
9. Fix Complaints
Now that your app is in the open, users will always have something to tell you or complain about. You need tolisten to what they are saying and let them know you’re working on resolving the issues they have with your app. If possible, let them know when the problem will be corrected and keep them in the loop along the process.
10. Get Social Networks to Do it for You
One way to keep people talking about your app is by staying close to your customers’ social networking platforms. This tactic helps developers boost the number of positive user reviews for the app. Each time a new update is rolled out, the entire social community can be prompted to download the new version and report their experiences.
In the end, it’s all about getting more and better app reviews. And it all comes down to creating great apps users love and cherish. If you’ve developed a fabulous app, with just a little effort, you can be sure to secure loads of 5-star reviews!

Renowned tech-conglomerate Xiaomi has introduced a new player in the highly competitive budget smartphone market. This time, the company has unveiled the successor of one of the biggest hits of 2014, Redmi Note 4G, and is promising a complete phablet experience with slick and snag-free performance.
Redmi Note 2 Prime aka Xiaomi’s new Note packs a brilliant set of specs with a stunning form-factor. The dual SIM based device highlights the company has found the right direction and is now focusing on offering top-tier features at reasonable pricing.The India launch of Redmi Note 2 Prime is still awaited, but we all know what the device is capable of doing and how well it can perform against leading players in the budget segment.
So, elaborating its features, here’s an in-depth comparison of, Note 2 Prime with another sensation from Xiaomi, the Mi4i!
Design and Build Quality
In terms of design and form-factor, there’s nothing like Xiaomi Mi4i in the sub 15k price bracket. The power-packed device features a polycarbonate body, and gives a great feel with soft-touch matte finish on back. It’s fairly light, sleek, and compact, and is further enriched with abeautiful display protected by Corning OGS glass. On whole, despite housing a humongous battery, Mi4i makes a great impression on the design front with just 7.8mm thickness and 130 grams of weight.
Though Redmi Note 2 Prime was launched months afterMi4i, the 5.5-incher phablet clearly draws several design cues from the sleek smartphone. The phablet looks a lot better and impressive, and has lost some serious amount of weight with minor but noticeable tweaks.Its camera module has been reshaped, and there are new colour variants, adding a nice touch to the aesthetics. In a nutshell, despite being a little thicker and heavier than Mi4i, Redmi Note 2 Prime makes a perfect Note material for budget users.It’s fits nicely in one hand, and is a lot sassier than other phablets rolling in the market!
Display and Visual Experience
In terms of visual experience, both phones perform fairly well with crisp colours and perfect viewing angles. The sleek Mi4i incorporates a 5-inch full HD IPS display protected by Corning OGS glass, while the powerfulRedmi Note 2 Prime comes with a bigger 5.5-inch full HD IPS panel with no external protection. The phablet draws several cues from Mi4i, but its pixel density is a little slightly lesser than Mi4i.Overall, they both feature adequate sunlight legitimacy and cater standard requirements with subtle perfection!
Hardware and Performance
On the hardware front, there’s a big difference between Xiaomi Mi4i and Redmi Note 2 Prime. The power-packed Mi4i uses an Octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC with four Cortex A-53 cores running at 1.7GHz and other four tickling at 1.0 GHz. It pairs up with 2GB RAM and offers ideal support for seamless work and play. In fact, unlike other SD615 powered phones, it does not get affected by severe heating as well.
On the contrary, Redmi Note 2 Prime incorporates MediaTek’sMT6795 Helio X10 processor with eight Cortex-A53 cores running at 2.2GHz.The beast of a device packs impeccable performance, and handles heaviest usage requirements without any snags. It pairs up with a whopping 2GB of RAM, and is free from heating complications as well.
Software and OS
On the software front, there is no real difference between the two phones. Redmi Note 2 Prime and Mi4iboth run Android 5.0 Lollipop skinned with the latest MIUI 7.The new MIUI from the company is an upgrade over the previous version, and is more colourful and intuitive now. It features all apps on the home-screen, and includes some really impressive animations and customization options. The only difference that matters is, Redmi Note 2 Prime runs MIUI 7 out-of-the box, while Mi4i needs to be updated after unboxing!
Camera Output
The camera setup equipped with both smartphones is also identical. Both beauties feature a 13-meggapixel rear and 5-megapixel front-facing shooter for slick photography. They deliver crisp and colour-rich snaps in all environments and take a dig against all smartphones rolling in the budget market. The only difference is Mi4i offers an aperture as wide as f/2.0 for rear and f/1.8 for the front-facing snapper, while Redmi Note 2 Prime has an aperture size of f/2.2 for the main and f/2.0 for the secondary camera!
Power-efficiency
It is quite surprising that the slim Mi4i houses a bigger 3,120 mAh battery, while the thicker Redmi Note 2 Prime comes with a smaller 3,060 mAh battery. They both pack advanced fast charging technology and offer sufficient juice fornon stop usage, butafter an entire of games and music playback, the impressiveMi4i lasts a touch longer than the new Note.
Pricing and Availability
In India, Xiaomi offers Mi4i via its own store and renowned ecommerce portals at Rs. 12,999. The phone’s available on open sale, but with festive offers making their way, it can be purchased at a price as low as Rs. 9,999.
On the other hand, the India launch of Redmi Note 2 Prime is still awaited. There’s no official word from Xiaomi, but if it happens, the phablet will be priced somewhere around 10-12k. So, it’s still on the waiting list for Xiaomi fans in India.
Bottom Line
In a nutshell, slick performance and a stunning form-factor makes Xiaomi Mi4i one of the best smartphones in the budget category. The dual SIM smartphone is very impressive and is a whole lot stronger than the MediaTek equipped Redmi Note 2 Prime. It offers a complete package for budget buyers, which is rarely seen in the highly competitive smartphone market!
But, we cannot disregard Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 prime as well.The big-screened phone offers for an exemplary multimedia experience, and includes features like IR Blaster and surround sound audio.It loses on display and design, but makes up an outstanding package for movie and music lovers.
