A website or blog is considered successful when it receives legitimate and dedicated traffic to it. Unless you know how to get traffic, you can't dream to have a profitable blog. There are number of methods to increase website traffic that you might read in different blogs written by experts. One of them is creating apps for your blog/website and distribute them through popular publishing platforms. Most of the bloggers with basic skills of HTML and CSS3 hesitate to create their own app as they think it isn't possible without coding. Being a blogger and web developer, it's mandatory to at least do some research on every topic related to bring traffic on your blog. I know that advanced app making requires knowledge of coding, app creating softwares and programs but still a simple blog/website application can be made easily without any programming skills.

You would ask that how it is possible? No coding, no program and no software, then how can I make an android app? With the speedy increase in technology where everyone is trying to have a prominent online presence, there's a competition of beating others in terms of gaining more readership. This competition has also given rise to those services that give people access to resources that facilitates them. Online apps creating services is a good example of these services. With an online app creating service, one can easily create and publish an app for any operating system. They offer from BBM to Android, iOS and windows phone apps. As you all know that Android is most popular and widely used platform globally so I have chosen Android app creation as my main topic.

Technology isn't limited to what you see in daily routine. There are many aspects that remain hidden until you find them accidentally like following 5 technology hacks. Most people don't know these tricks which can facilitate their use of internet. In this post, I will introduce you with these hacks.

1. Google Reverse Image Search:

I am quite sure most of you didn't know about this tool because people are habitual of searching images with text only. In one of my past posts, I explained how to optimize images for SEO so that Google bots recognize them to be displayed for specific search terms. But Google crawlers aren't efficient only to read text but also capable of showing similar image results. Sounds weird, but it isn't impossible. In just fraction of second, Google image search displays hundreds of images which look similar to the image you provided to Google.

To search similar images, just click on the CAM button placed at the right side of Google image searh bar as shown in screen shot below and upload the image.

Googel Image Search, Google

Google image search will show images that look similar to those images.

3. Increase Internet Speed Of Your PC:

Most probably you didn't know that your PC uses only 80% of actual internet speed that your ISP provides. Rest of 20% is reserved for others purposes which a common person doesn't need and I am not going in its detail. The only thing of interest is that you can reduce this reserved bandwidth from 20% to 0 and experience 100% speed on your PC. Sounds cool.

Below is the procedure of increasing PC internet speed.

A. Press Windows Key+R to open "Run" dialogue box.

Windows Internet Speed

B. Type in "gpedit.msc" without quotes and press ok.

C. Proceed to Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler and double click on "Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

Windows Internet Speed

D. Mark "Enabled" ,write "0" in bandwidth limit and press ok. That's it.

Bandwidth

Your internet speed will increase after performing this.

4. Hide "Seen" Status In Facebook Chat/Messages:

Most of the Facebook users want to disable seen status for the messages sent to them by their friends or relatives if they don't want to reply them or to show they have read their messages. The simple method is to delete these messages without reading them but at this moment, we can't "disable" our curiosity thus we read their messages. Well you must have tried to find a way to disable "Seen" status in Facebook privacy settings but you wouldn't have found that.

Don't worry if you didn't find any way to stop others from seeing seen status for the messages they send to you. With this simple hack, you can stop them from seeing "seen" message even if you've read the message. The only problem with this hack is that it works only on Desktop browsers like Mozilla and Google Chrome.

You just need to add a Firefox Addon or Extension in Chrome so you will be able to read messages without notifying the sender that you have "Seen" his messages.

Get Here: Facebook Message Seen Disable Add-On For FireFox

Get Here: Facebook Chat Privacy Extension For Chrome

These plugins stop the connection between your browser and Facebook servers that sends "Delivery" notifications thus the sender won't see "Seen" status. It would be disabled until you read the messages from other browser or device.

Like other plugins, you need to restart your browser in order to start using the above extensions.

5. Google Chrome Dinosaur Hidden Game:

While using Google chrome, you might have seen an "Unable to connect to the internet" error with a Dinosaur image above it. What you do in this situation? Waiting for the internet to be connected or just close the browser and shut down your PC? Well you can do more than it if you find that you can play an end-less running game with this T-Rex Dino. It is a hidden game inside chrome which can be played only when you are offline. Just press "Space bar" or any key from "Scroll Keys" and the game will start.

Google Chrome Dinosaur

Like all other Running games, the objective is simple. Save Dino from crashing with obstacle by either pressing "Up" or "Down" key.

Hope you like these hacks. If you found these helpful. Don't forget to like, comment and share it.

Most of the Custom domain providers come with a built in Email system which lets you create an Email address based on your custom domain and check mail sent to that address. Email based on custom domain looks professional but managing mail on domain provider's Email system isn't something which everyone would like. The old 90's style theme and system sucks a lot. If you are a small business owner or a blogger, then it might not be interesting to invest for purchasing a paid subscription to manage Email on your custom domain Email.

A few years ago, Google started a project named as Google Apps which let site owners create and link their custom domain Email with Gmail for free. However after a period of time, they stopped free subscriptions and now only 1 month trial is available.

We always listen and read advices to create strong passwords for securing our online presence and to ensure online security. Creating a strong password isn't so difficult as it is to remember. In my offline life, I see number of people who succeed in creating a strong password which is very difficult to guess but after some days, forget the password which causes them trouble. I should state here one example of my own home when my sister opened an account on a payment processor, received debit card from them and also received some amount of money on that payment processor. After a week of inactivity, she tried to access her account but she forgot password. Forgetting password was not the basic trouble because almost every site allows its users to retrieve password after providing some valid information but the nightmare started when she tried to recover password and found that the site is asking for answer of security questions to get back her password but she had already forgotten the answers of security questions too. In this way, she not only wasted her debit card but also the money inside her account.

There was a time when calling internationally for free was considered a dream but now it is possible to call your relatives anywhere in this world without spending a penny. VOIP cum social media apps like Skype, Viber, Tango, Line, Whatsapp etc also serve the features of international calling but from these platforms, free calls only be made when both of the caller and receiver have same application or service. Making a call on a mobile phone or landline number can be cheaper with these services but we cannot mark them totally free. There are a number of services and apps that provides facility to make unlimited free calls to USA and Canada phone numbers but most of the times we have to call outside USA so what should we do in these circumstances?

Publication date is that date when the webpage was first published on internet to be viewed by public. Most of the sites display publication date of the site and its webpages at a distinguished place from where an individual can easily find it but it is not always the case.

If you are unable to find webpage publishing date on the site itself or from search results and ready to give up, don't do it.
