you don't need much just a simple knowledge of web design. Google analytics will do the tracking work for you. All you have to do is add the tracking code on your site.

As a developer and webmaster, I'd say I've learnt quite a lot of things. I find it a little bit amusing when I see people change their privacy settings on social networks to prevent tracking. All my social media accounts are public because I know everything is being tracked. The privacy settings just limit a few things. Unless of course I have a legitimate reason to go anonymous.

Websites normally track a whole lot of user data. This is normally done so the site can serve users better and also to help the webmaster/developer improve the website or the mobile application

These days we live so much of our lives online and  personal information is becoming very vulnerable.

You may know the best ways to stay safe online by avoiding funny looking sites, using a strong anti-virus  – but are you aware of just how much information any website or app can collect about you just from you navigating through them?

I'll outline 6 ways your information is being exposed through your normal, everyday browsing.

Your Current Location

Google’s Geolocation API is usually used by websites to get a very good idea of where you are. Although most times it's not always too accurate but it could show your current city or sometimes it can be very accurate by showing your street address. More accurate location data can be gotten from you usually when you are connected to a public WiFi network.

You’re better off  browsing on a mobile network because the error rate on mobile devices can be up to 50 kilometers from your exact location.

Websites and Apps can also detect your phone orientation through the accelerometer. This can let the sites and apps determine whether you’re holding your device or using it on a flat surface

Information On Your Device Hardware

Every single detail. From the processor your phone is running, the exact make and model of your GPU,your screen resolution, the phone you're using. Everything.

Some Websites even know what percent your battery is at and whether or not you are currently charging.

Information On Your Device Software

Quite a number people know that when they visit any site, their browser allows the site know what operating system and browser they’re using. This actually helps content producers get a better feel for their audience and cater to them more specifically.

However, some websites can also see what plugins you have installed and whether you’re currently logged into accounts like Facebook, Twitter, and Google.

Don't worry, nobody snoops on your passwords. Unless of course you hit a suspicious link. I'll highlight how to prevent being hacked online in an upcoming post.

The Network You're Using

Websites/Apps have access to your local and public IP addresses and can identify which computer or mobile phone you’re using on any network.

Sites also know the service provider you're using and the kind of internet service you’re using since they can also calculate your download speed.

Places You've Been To

Additionally websites  also know your browsing history. They know the site you visited before to arriving on theirs. If you usually use some very bad websites, then this might be of some concern to you.

Identify Exactly Who You Are

This last one is mostly limited to less reputable websites run by hackers.

Clickjacking is a technique some websites use to manipulate your actions so you end up doing things that you may not have intended. You may click a link that looks legitimate but if you’re also logged into Facebook, that link can make you like a Facebook page unintentionally without your consent.

This information can be used to find out your exact identity. Anything you’ve supplied Facebook: your name, your pictures, your occupation, your family members, your interests… everything is potentially at a malicious website’s fingertips.

In the spirit of Christmas , MTN is offering 100%, bonus on all their plans. This means you'll get 3GB at N1000 instead of the usual 1.5GB.

Social Media is now an irreplaceable part of each and every one of us. Social networks these days boast of huge numbers of users. Facebook itself has about 1.5 Billion users. These networks have helped us in many ways but today I'll be looking at the ways it's ruining our lives.

It Keeps Connecting You With A Past That's Best Forgotten.

Most recently, Facebook had a glitch that had old photos of users being reshared. It's possible that there are some of your photos you wouldn't want anyone to see but due to the glitch it became public. This is quite embarrassing. There are some memories you wouldn't want to remember but on social media there's a high probability that you'll come across the post one day and it'll get you annoyed or depressed.

Some people can't even spell anymore
Due to the many short ways of typing words on on social media. Some students can't even spell correctly. I've once read an essay that's filled with Internet slangs and it's embarrassing because it was written by a high school student. That's very bad.


We keep comparing ourselves to other people

"Obi just bought a new car", "Sandra just got an iPhone" and I'm still here . All these stuffs tend to make us desperate just because our friends have gotten something we don't have yet. Sometimes it makes us jealous and get envious. We start living fake lives just to keep up so they'll see you as a big boy or big girl indirectly ruining Our self worth and self esteem

You lose connection with the people around you
This is the annoying part of the whole thing. These days most of us can spend a lot of time online loosing the feeling of a decent personal conversation. We hide behind the screens of our smartphones forming as experts and providing answers to some unknown people's problems meanwhile you haven't addressed the problems in your immediate environment.
Have you ever imagined if that person you crossed on the road when your eyes were glued to your phone would have made a positive impact in your life?. Don't let social media draw much of your attention.
.
It Makes You Paranoid And Needy.

This one mostly affects the Ladies. A typical scenario of this is when a girl posts a picture and gets up to 1000+ likes, there are other girls on her list who'll get to see the picture. Some of them tend to become paranoid and needy. On the contrary, the person that's making them become needy and paranoid may not be better than them in real life.


You Waste So Much Time Online

We're all familiar with the scenario when you just want to quickly check something on your Facebook account but you see something else that keeps you glued to your screen for a very long time. The hours you spent or wasted on social media could have been used for more productive things.

Social media is fun but we should also be aware of the ways it ruins our lives.

Blogging is all about creativity and for people that are smart. There are many tools to help you become a better blogger. Most of these tools  pushed me to write more and rely less on rewriting a content I read previously. It has helped me develop a writing style unique to me. It also helps me make my blog better.

Here's my Top 6 list of tools that'll make you a better blogger.

Blog Post Title Generators

The greatest problem bloggers face is producing enough original content . We're humans and not machines so it's quite normal for us to run out of ideas on what to write about. This is where blog title generators come in. Blog title generators generally let you type in the keyword you want to write about.

Answerthepublic.com is one of the best title generator tools I have used. This tool fetches and gives you title suggestions that are based on visualizations after you type in a keyword.

It can  break down listings of keywords to three different parts:

Questions: what, who, when, why?

Preposition: for, like, with

Alphabetical: keyword + a, keyword + b

With this tool, you can also get a ton of keywords that you can easily sprinkle throughout your post and get more traffic.

There are also other sites like AnswerThePublic but they work in an entirely different manner.
Here are some of them you can look them up on Google:

LinkBait
Impact Blog Title Generator
SEOPressor Blog Title Generator



EMV Headline Analyzer

EMV means  Emotional Marketing Value. This helps you to know how your post title relates to your readers mind. In humans, decision making is highly influenced by emotion . This tool helps you check the emotion weight of your blog post title.

It's not as colorful as the other tools but it's very easy to use and works perfectly. All you need to do is type in the headline and choose an appropriate category. You will get an EMV score that defines the emotional credibility of your headline.

If your post ranks above 50% it's considered the very best. So, if you have anything within that range, you are doing great.

BuzzSumo

This is another one of my favorite tools. When you input a URL into Buzzsumo  it shows you a list of posts that have got maximum amount of shares in a given period. This way you know the potential of the topic and can track the posts on your blog or competitors blog with the highest shares. You can also track those who shared the post but that  feature is only available in the paid version.

It has a very easy to use interface that makes it one of my favorite tools. Not only does it give you  great data, it binds you to topical relevance. So, you don’t go off topic when searching for ideas.


PixaBay

Getting Stock Images for blog posts can be very difficult but pixabay changes all that. Sometimes while searching for images on Google you see an image that'll be relevant to your post but it ends up having a watermark. Using watermarked images on your blog when the watermark isn't yours really sucks and reeks of unprofessionalism.

Pixabay offers millions of high quality images free.Pixabay is a resource you can use without any copyright restrictions. You can use the images for whatever purposes you want, even for commercial purposes too.

One thing I really like about Pixabay is that there is no registration required. You can simply jump in, search for photos and begin to use them.


Canva

Canva's only one call away and superman's got nothing on it. Some times you need graphic designs for your next blog post but you don't know what to do. Canva is the surest bet.

Canva is one of the most used photo editing tools in the world. From its drag and drop feature, the professional layouts and amazing design graphics, Canva has everything that you'll need to create your own stunning images.
You don't have to be a pro , Canva makes image creation super easy and fun.

With millions of images, hundreds of fonts, numbers of free icons and shapes, and amazing photo filters; Canva is without doubt one of the best.


Grammarly

I've come across many blogs, especially the one's that are relatively new in the blogosphere with a very bad writing style and incorrect vocabulary.
Bad grammar kills your blog faster than a nuclear bomb can destroy a city. Bad vocabulary can induce sleep on someone that's already slept for 24 hours.

Posts with many grammatical errors makes  readers lose interest in reading further. They might not even bother reading your future blog posts. So, make sure to perform quick grammar checks before publishing your posts.

Grammarly is one of the most used online grammar checkers. It checks for spelling, sentence structure, style, punctuation, alternatives, etc. All you need to do is copy your content and paste it into Grammarly’s online grammar checker.


That's my top list. If you have any other tool you use, I'd love to check it out. Drop your comments

Nice blog.. I think everything's okay here. Try to fix the site, Some images aren't showing.

goldenval:
op, this method you mentioned here are old blogging things, for me, the easiest ways to generate extra traffic is by, sharing your articles on google+ community, share on twitter which is still very effective, share on facebook groups like joining any blogging groups that related to your niche, I built justretweet.com to help bloggers gets more retweets from other bloggers but you must be professional when using the site as I don't allow junk or copyright articles there, you must be original, dropping comments to other blogs helps as well etc.

if you are looking for a way to generate traffic from your YouTube's, I handle that as well.

thanks

Nice but I also pointed out Posting to Google plus on the post. I don't know how it's turned to old blogging methods.

On this, how does one apply to write for these websites. I once applied to Naij but I never got a reply.

Persistence is the key. Try contacting them again.
