Billions of people, including you, may have No idea about the importance of the IMEI Number in the mobile phone you're using. You're only aware you have network, you can make, receive calls, send SMS, chats and Browse the Internet with it. But your Device works with IMEI number, a unique number which makes it go beyond what you're thinking.

Let's roll back to the Basics of IMEI
IMEI - literally stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity.

After buying a new Smartphone, you may Notice it on the receipt, on the Phone's Box, or/and the phone's back. It's also used as proof of Warranty incase you're taking it back to Phone Store or Repairer.
Each IMEI number is built to be Unique in every single mobile device no matter how many Billions of devices are produced. These Unique digits aren't to appear twice.
The purpose of an IMEI goes beyond simple identification and the number can be used to block devices from accessing the cellular network.

MUST READ : HOW TO REPAIR/CHANGE IMEI OF MTK ANDROID SMARTPHONES

If your phone is stolen and you notify your service provider, they will block the device from their network and in some regions block other networks too. In some countries, Police often keep a record of stolen phones and use IMEI numbers as identification.

Further More, Some imported Smartphones are built to never allow any other any Cellular Network to give it Signal. Such Network Providers could bind these smartphones to their network, this was basically Possible through the IMEI of the smartphone.
While it's drastically Unlawful to change or tamper with phone's IMEI in some Locations, others feel there's nothing wrong with that since they're Only trying to make things work.

Do you have issues with your Mobile Not receiving Network Signal? It could be due to IMEI number, perhaps it's been Blacklisted, that's why I have created this post to show us websites that serve as Tools to help us do the following;
* Check whether Existing Or New IMEI of a smartphone is Valid,
* Check Reported IMEI numbers and be able to Tell if your device may have been Blacklisted or Stolen before it got to you, although, this is not Certain, but it might be if the IMEI was tampered with.
* Help to let you know exactly what your phone’s IMEI number says about your handset.

1. IMEI.INFO

IMEI.info is Our Number One IMEI validator tool in this list, reason is they had been in the game for a very Long while, they handle thousands of requests related to IMEI and phone Theft issues for users.
With IMEI.info, They have CALCULATOR, to help you Complete IMEI numbers if you provide them with first Relevant digits.
I use them regularly pertaining to IMEI numbers, be it Android, Apple (Iphone), Blackberry, Nokia, etc.

2. IMEI-NUMBER.COM

3. NUMBERINGPLANS

Sometimes, the tools on the above websites depend on your Locations, so you may have to put that into consideration.

HOW TO CHECK IMEI OF ANY PHONE.

Basically, you can check IMEI of many phones by dialing *#06# But what if that doesn't work for you Use the Procedures below:

iOS (iPhone, LTE/3G iPad): Found in the Settings > General > About menu.
Android: Found in the “Settings” menu under “About Phone”.
Older Sony or Sony Ericsson (Xperia): Enter “ * Right * Left Left * Left * ” on the keypad.
Older Blackberry or newer Sony Ericsson: Found in the “Options” menu under “Status”.

How To Use/Display only ONE Name on your Facebook Profile

and

How to Take Total Control of What Appears on Your Facebook Wall

There're More on Social Media which you can read here, but I recently started noticing something on Facebook, when people share posts from websites and blogs, this New Feature displays the author (Website Owner's) Name below the snippet of the shared post on Facebook.

For Those who may not Know what Snippets are:

SNIPPETS are a small piece or small bit, scrap, or fragment having summary or description of a website or post that was shared on Facebook or Results after you search for keywords on Search Engines like Google.

The Advantage with this snippet feature, it will help Readers know who owns and Authors your various blogs, so they can easily find and keep in touch with you more closely.
To assure you of how valuable this feature could be, I checked around and found few popular bloggers that have already taken advantage of the tool.

This is what it actually looks like.

That's a snippet from +Jide Ogunsanya , a smart blogger who's using the tool. Once he shares or his visitors shares his stuff on facebook, it displays his name underneath the post, as the owner of the blog from which the post/link was shared.
As you can see, the snippet is showing his name and web address,
So we can easily know who owns which website/blog.

Here're More!

The next below is a snippet shared on Facebook from my 2nd blog,

.... and this one from A friend's blog

Now, Let's Learn How to Add & Display Author Name On Facebook Share Snippets

There's No sweat in adding this feature to your own blog, it's just a line of META-TAGS, that's all
1. Login to your Blogger/Wordpress dashboard.
2. Go to Template >> Edit HTML
Click inside where you have all your template codes, then search or Press CTRL + F
search for this code
<data:blog.title/></title>
Right under the code above , you'll find this </b:if>

Now, under that little code, copy and Paste this
<meta content='YOUR NAME' name='Author'/>

3. Replace YOUR NAME with your own name.

4. Click Save, then give it time for it to take effect.
Effect will not be instant because this tool is not like other codes which you used for designing your blogs, this is actually a META-TAG, it would take about 15 - 30 minutes for Google to crawl your template and Save that change.
This meta tag doesn't only apply on helping you display Author name on Facebook shared posts snippets, it also helps your site look more detailed and descriptive on Search engines and especially Social Media. There're more meta-tags out there but this particular one is found relevant.

Been a while we shared something about Online cash, there're many of them I will be posting soon, PayPal, Adsense, etc, and how you can legitimately earn and handle your money and transactions with them, meanwhile today we'll be talking about one of the World's biggest e-commerce business, Paypal.
There is a simple question only a few think about, not to even speak of searching around for answers.

"Can I Get a Paper Check From Paypal?"

The Answer is: "Yes, You can Receive your Funds as Check from PayPal."
There are various reasons why people request their funds to be sent to them via Check from PayPal.
The major ones are perhaps, they have issues with PayPal or the Bank account they Linked to their Paypal, hence want it deposited to another bank where they run an account, so a paper check is the best way to do it.

Whatever your reasons are, you can ask PayPal to push all your funds as Check and send it to your doorstep.

I'll show us how,

Sample of a Paypal Paper check (Photo Credits: THENEST.com)

PayPal allows users to withdraw money from their account in three ways:

TRANSFER TO A BANK ACCOUNT
LOAD YOUR FUNDS IN YOUR PAYPAL DEBIT CARD or,
RECEIVE A PAPER CHECK.

You'll need a verified account to choose the paper check option, which also requires a confirmed address. It takes one to two weeks to receive the check for U.S. addresses and six weeks for foreign addresses, making a paper check the least-convenient method to withdraw funds right?. Note that PayPal charges $1.50 for the check, while the other two methods are free.

How to Request a Paper Check from PayPal

Step 1

Log into your PayPal account.

Step 2

Click on the "My Account" tab.

Step 3

Click on "Withdraw." >> Choose "Request a check."

Step 4

Fill in the amount you wish to withdraw. Use a decimal place between the dollars and cents.

Step 5

Use the pull-down menu to choose where you want PayPal to mail the check. You can add a new address if necessary by following the links. Click "Continue."

Step 6

Verify the amount.
In case you ant to still change the Amount you want them to send you, click "Cancel," then go back to Step 4.

A $1.50 check fee will be subtracted from the proceeds. Click "Submit."

Step 7

Go to you mail box for a confirmation email. If you do not receive this, log back into PayPal and check the "My Account" section to be certain your check request has been processed.

WARNING:

PayPal will issue the check in the name of the account holder, so you will not be able to send a PayPal check to someone else.
Sending a check to someone else's address requires you to provide the recipient's credit card number to add the mailing address to your PayPal account.

It is always Adviced, even by other companies and Payment processors to use Bank Wire Transfer or The PayPal debit card (ATM or foreign currency transaction fees may apply.) which can be used to withdraw your funds anywhere in the world as it is faster, safer, and free.

FROM INSIDE THE BOX

There are 5 colors (back-covers) to choose from the Infinix Hot X507, the colored back-covers glow in the dark. We got a white,, cool isn't it?

Unleashing what's in the box, you'll be quite amazed, I found the Smartphone, and a couple of useful accessories, i.e
- THE CHARGER
- USB CABLE (a Multi-purpose type For charging and Data transfer)
- and A SLICK DESIGNED HEADPHONE (with Answer button for Calls)

The FEEL & DISPLAY

Immediately I picked up this Smartphone from its box, the feel was cool, light at hand, then I proceeded to insert the battery and switched it ON, (the Power Button is the second below which you can find at the "right-side" of the phone)
Behold the Fantastic Display, you expect anything less when the Screen is already Amoled-powered? The result is Crisp and colorful, it was a sweet feel as I touched the screen while scrolling the Menu.
You can have a closer look at our photo-shots below.

The PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:

With height of 142.4mm, breadth 73.2mm, and a small thickness of only 10.1mm, this means the phone is pretty slim, this appearance surely beats some of the trending Tecno smartphones, like the Tecno M7

The PERFORMANCE:

Okay, as I had earlier said, this smartphone uses 1GB RAM and Quad-core processor of 1.3GHz, making quality Speed a certain feature of the Infinix Hot, it took few seconds for the phone to boot up, not some other devices that you'll have wait forever, the performance is very fast and responsive, be it powerful HD & 3D games or Apps, you can do more and Multi-task without fear of any hanging or looping.

The OPERATING SYSTEM AND PRE-INSTALLED APPS:

The Infinix Hot comes with Android 4.4 (Kitkat), and I was very satisfied with the Launcher unlike my Previous smartphones where i had to use GO-Launcher for navigating.
Some Pre-installed Apps & games that came along were:
- Konga shopping app
- Carlcare
- BBM
- Asphalt 7
- and Assassins Creed 3 amongst others.

LIKES AND DISLIKES

Battery Life is the major thing I always look out for in many Android Smartphones, I end up disliking most of them because of their batteries but the battery Life of this New Infinix Hot is not doing bad for me at the moment, I'll keep watching it closely as time goes on.
There are so many reasons why I like this Smartphone, it seems to have so amazing features compared to the price which seem to be rather affordable.

Over the past years till date, more ways of stealing people's data are been used. Some of the techniques Hackers and Spies can use to hack your accounts are - Trojans/backdoors, Drawbacks, Keylogging, Social Engineering and so on. These techniques requires them to install the malicious apps on your system just before you begin to use that system.
But what if you don't allow them and because of that you feel your computer is very safe, guess what? You could still get knocked off through Visual Hacking. This is yet another method which Thieves, spies and/or hackers can still use against you, without laying hands on your Computer.
Visual Hacking involves cyber-criminals or intruders peeping over your shoulder while you’re working on your computers or mobile devices. Sometimes they don't need to be near you, spies can go as far as using Binoculars, powerful smartphones and quality camera devices to invade, collect and use whatever information displaying on your screen.
Many cases found is when you go to cyber-cafes, schools, airports, offices, inside buses and trains.You might focus on your computer or mobile device, chatting or something, not knowing someone behind you is peeping into your privacy, visual hackers can infiltrate you, from the outside-in.
A lot of employees have had their Confidential data stolen by visual hacking, complaints have been made but later realising this had happened when their devices got hacked at a Glance, visually.

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM VISUAL HACKERS & INTRUDERS.

Some suggestions to protect yourself from getting hacked visually include;
- You trying to block or hide what you're doing with your hands or an object, this can reduce the risk but is not a practical thing to do in public.
- Sitting at a corner, against a wall may also help but you still won't be comfortable because you'll find yourself trying to adjust every minute from discomfort, hence be unable to focus on what you're doing on your device.
These suggestions seem okay, but we know are not so efficient, this is why the perfect protection for yourself and your data from Passer-byes, who could be Visual Hackers had been provided by 3M™ ePrivacy Filter Software, the application works hand-in-hand with the Standard 3M Privacy Software.

Suddenly, NFC (Near Field Communication) seems to be everywhere; in the news, embedded as a chip in your phone and even at the neighborhood store! If you are a business owner or entrepreneur you may be asking yourself why you should invest in this technology. How will this help increase profits or make your business run more smoothly?
The answers to this are many and just 5 of them will be enough to convince you that this is the best business decision you will make in 2015.

Source: TheWeek.co.uk

1. NFC makes check out faster & increases footfalls

Nothing is more upsetting to a business than seeing that customers are getting tired or upset, in line to pay for the goods and abandoning their shopping baskets before check out. You want them to be on their way quickly, happy with their purchases and willing to return to your store as often as possible. Contactless payments make this happen so seamlessly, because all the consumer has to do is tap and pay, placing their phone near an NFC reader and the amount is deducted. Just a tap and the customer can move on to doing other things in life.

2. NFC increases customer loyalty by enhancing store experience

Business these days is very competitive, with multiple offers and discounts available to consumers, so any technology that builds a loyal customer base will benefit growth. That is where NFC payments can help, by making the customer interaction easy and hassle free and setting your café or store apart from the competition.

3. NFC transactions are safer & more secure

Safety and security is a concern for you and your clients. Here contactless technology can help because it has several superior security features, such as a PIN authorization and fingerprint scan options. These ensure that transactions are completed in a way that all parties are protected. The merchant receives his payment promptly and the shopper is safe from theft or misuse by not sharing any of his personal and financial information such as credit card or bank account details.

4. NFC means timely payments & real time analysis

Prompt settlement is desired by all businesses and is an added benefit of the NFC system, which also helps you track and analyze sales transactions and spending habits. This gives you the added advantage of helping you plan future marketing and sales efforts as well. The more you know about the shopping habits of consumers’ the better equipped is your business to anticipate their needs.

5. NFC is seen as innovative and fun

Early adoption of NFC technology makes your business appear innovative and more attractive. Ever since Apple launched NFC enabled phones in October 2014, the momentum to include NFC chips in other mobiles has grown as well. This means that more and more people will be familiar with and want to embrace this technology and your business can be a trendsetter in this regard.

In conclusion, It makes solid business sense: So if innovation is crucial to your growth, NFC is the right choice for you and your customers. Faster, safer payments lead to greater growth and the thriving of businesses and communities everywhere.

First I'd like to Welcome all of us into the new Year 2015, this is my First post this year and I'll be using it to talk to us about Online Cash, Adsense to be precise.
From the Beginning of 2014, earnings did very well for some Adsense publishers, especially those blog/website owners with plenty of Traffic... until Late last year, something happened...
It was aGood and Bad News about Adsense upon us, I'll start from the good news before the Bad, then I'll round up telling us how we all can get over this Bad News.

The GOOD NEWS

Finally after so many years, Adsense began displaying Ads for Opera Mini users, considering the amount of mobile device users who browse our websites via Opera mini, this made me smile in particular, because
1. Whether I am on Wordpress or Blogger, I'll never have to worry myself anymore about A Responsive Theme/Template, the Ads were very responsive by itself, they fully show on Opera mini whether my theme is Responsive or Not.

2. Adsense displaying on Opera Mini Changed the mind of many Blogger platform publishers that wanted to move to WP, people would normally move to WP because everything is customisable there, on WordPress they'd create a Mobile version of their blogs and create a new Ad Unit that supports Mobile display. This Good News saved publishers from all this stress.

Now.... The BAD NEWS

CTR dropped.... drastically, Just after the Good news, most of my pals who ran Google ads started to freak out, Complaints everywhere and so On... eyes turned red... same publisher loved the Good news began protesting saying they No longer want Adsense to display on Opera Mini..... quite funny isn't it?

RECOMMENDED: #BLOGGING: The Best Option To Make Money Online

The Next Question People started asking was...

* WHY DID MY ADSENSE RPM / EARNING DROP???
* WHY IS MY TRAFFIC HIGH BUT EARNINGS STILL LOW?

No need to panic, Don't get upset, Don't get Confused, it happened to me too, Through out all that time, I watched my Daily Earnings, it was still fine at first, even during the Christmas Holidays, The Low CTR thing didn't hit me Not until later, towards the End of the Year. It hurt but I didn't cry as loud, I later moved out and Harvested some Tips from some Adsense experts which I will Briefly Share with All Of Us.

LOW RPM/CTR / EARNINGS - Why you Earned what you Earned on Adsense.

1. RPM - Revenue Per One Thousand
2. CTR - Click Through Rate

These 2 Terms work together and will help you Understand Why you Earned What you Earned.

Your RPM, which is calculated by Estimated earnings [divided by] Number of page views) X 1000
... and thisEstimated earningsis determined by how many Clicks (CTR) you received.

For Example
If your RPM is $5.00, it means you'll earn an Average of that $5 for every 1,000 Pageviews
Looking at that Amount, you can Calculate that if you get 10,000 Pageviews you'll earn an estimated $50.
NOTE: This analytics is not 100% accurate, because the amount you earn per click changes all the time.
To keep it Brief,

Here are BASIC Reasons Why Your Adsense RPM / Earnings dropped

Google's Advertisers: The Amount you earn is Dependent On How much Google's Advertisers are Spending, hence if they Spend Less, you too will Earn Less, there's No Magic or trick behind that.

AdSense earnings are often seasonal: Like we may have all Noticed during big holidays & Festive Periods, many Offices go on break, Banks, Stores etc. These business places and firms are major sources of Google's advertisers, Advertisers that Spend are usually those who do more Services & Product sales during such Seasons, like Online Malls, and few others, if it hit you that your Earnings dropped poor, then it's because of the season.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN YOUR RPM IS LOW?

a. - You'll need to Keep Writing More useful, SEO optimized posts, here's how to Never Stop Writing & Updating your blog

b. - Use Facebook Ads

c. - Share your posts, Use other methods to Get more visitors. See this Powerful post on how you can get Plenty Traffic for Free.

Option "b." is the sweet easiest to go for if you have few dollars to spend on your blog, the whole Solution Boils down to Getting More & More Traffic to your Blog. Once you're getting more Traffic, more people are visiting and the Clicks will definitely rise as well.

A major Fact we need to be Aware of is, You are not in control of How much the Advertisers are paying to display those ads on your blog, these changes that occur many times is a sign that ADSENSE is never a Basket to put all your Eggs, No doubt they're Still The best, but we all are encouraged to Diversify and Be Flexible as Much as Possible.
Look out for Affiliate programs, Sponsored reviews and other CPC programs that are Similar to Adsense Programs.
I'll be sharing some of the Best Ones that will Fetch you some cool cash in few days to come.

The Year 2015 is still a bit Fresh, some of us may have intentions of changing our phones, or buying for someone. These days, the power and functionality in a palm-sized smartphone would have taken up an entire storage room in the 1960's. Today, your cell phone is a constant companion, a pocket-sized link to the news, entertainment and social circles that color your world.
It's your office assistant, your bank, your game, your book, your radio, your music player, your source of entertainment, your bible, your qu'ran, your weight loss monitor and so much more.
That's why it's so important to find the right mobile phone that best fits your needs.
As culled from BambooNaija website, this post focuses on making sure you take informed decisions and serve as buying guide to advice you on the things to consider before buying a mobile phone this 2015.

Things To Consider:

This post is about something New, something Unique I learnt from A Very powerful Ebook I read about 2 years ago, I didn't Notice this Tip until Late Last year when I decided to Read the book over again. Pro-bloggers and intelligent webmasters are currently using it but may have Never told you.

After giving it a try, it yielded amazing results, so I decided to Share this cool Secret with you.

Here's How I Boosted My AdSense Earnings using A Unique HTML Code and YouTube Video.

When it comes to AdSense, so many important things are involved with How much you're earning.

1. TRAFFIC
2. TYPE OF AUDIENCE
3. POSITIONING OF YOUR ADS, the positions of your Ad units is the point I am making here, it was the Key I used to discover how we can boost earnings, which I am about showing us now and it's only possible through the Smart use of HTML codes (primarily).
4. CLICKS - only when 1, 2, and 3 are in place, clicks now follows.

Despite my 2nd blog doesn't have plenty traffic see below a screenshot of it's performance after I used this HTML code.

1. AD REQUESTS became very accurate and improved

2. COVERAGE, 99.96% - An almost perfect performance, it means the ads are very visible, audience is seeing it, and this was only attainable through the HTML CODES I used to position the Ad unit.

3. CLICKS, 48 - pretty cool amount of clicks to hit ONE ad block on a blog with Average traffic huh?

From The first day I applied it Alone... Coverage got to a complete 100% with 5 clicks.
You too can Boost your Earnings, No matter the Pageviews you are getting daily. Follow the Simple Steps Below.

REQUIREMENTS

- Good YouTube Video(s)
- A Popular blog post on your blog or newly but well written post.
- The Unique HTML code
- Your AdSense Ad Unit code. (336 x 280)
- ... A Little Patience

How to Apply the Requirements

Now, this is how it works, let's say you have a blog post, and a Video, and both your Post and that Video went viral, it's receiving lots of traffic from searching Engine,...... you can double your Earnings through that Video in your post, Yes. That's all I did and it worked great.

It works in 2 Ways:
a. Use Your Pre-existing popular blog posts to show the YouTube video
- OR -
b. Make A New Good Post and attach the YouTube Video(s) in the post

The Unique HTML code

Once the above is ready, copy and use the HTML codes below

<table align="left" style="width: 600px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="320">PASTE YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEO CODE HERE  </td> <td width="300">ADSENSE CODE HERE (336X280)<br /> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>

Using the above code will position your Ad unit side-by-side with that video.

As I already put in bracket, 336 x 280 ad sizes are best fit for this, depends on the size of your Post body, you can always adjust by changing the Attributes in the codes.
Create A New ad unit so you easily Track its performance after you apply this tip.

Now you might be saying to yourself, You don't have a Popular Post with a Video.

Well, Here's my suggestion, simply head to YouTube, or any similar sites as Long as the Video is NOT explicit, >> search and Pick a very good video related to your most popular Posts, then attach it in the post.
Use same HTML codes to Position the Video, with the Ad.

Now give it some time, Check back in a Week. I am sure you'll be Impressed with the Results.

Sky Rocketed Earnings is certain.
