Business / 5 Reasons Your Business Must Have A Strong Online Presence by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 9:21am On Sep 07, 2017
The internet has made it easier for businesses - especially small scale businesses - to thrive and sustain themselves even in the economic downtown Nigeria is faced with. Sadly, not all entrepreneurs are utilizing the power of the internet for their businesses, some don't even see the need to. If you are in these categories then below are 5 reason you should care about the online presence of your business. Read below:

1. Low Advertising and Marketing costs: Did you know the one time cost of designing a website and annual fees you spend on renewals (domain & hosting), website maintenance is just a smallest fraction on the cost you spend a year on printing out brochures, billboards, flyers and many others? And yet with you having a website, whatever is printed out or shown in adverts can be in the website and you’re guaranteed of wide market coverage.

2. 24/7 business operations: With online presence, your company or organization is open for business to anyone, anywhere around the world for all 24hrs a day, 12months a year. Imagine you wake up in the morning and you find an order or Inquiry about your products waiting for you and you just need to click reply and business transactions start. So if you care about making money or gaining clients even when you are asleep then you must be ready to build a strong online presence for your business.

3. Communication and Customer care at its best: Imagine just sitting behind your computer and click on the send button and in just seconds you have notified all your existing and prospective clients about your new products, promotions, achievements in quickest move possible. This is possible with Email Marketing, SMS Marketing and Social Media Marketing.

Imagine you providing answers through website (FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions) to those constantly boring questions that you have had over and over again about your business. Do you think this would be possible with poster letters? Of course NO.

4. A complement in branding: Did you know that having a nice website and social media platforms can strengthen your corporate image and improve your branding? Most times when people hear about your business, the next thing they do is go online to check you out, if you have a strong and appealing presence online then you have found your way into their hearts.

5. Your online presence adds confidence, trust, belief and hope into your clients: This shows how your business is a step ahead of the others and how your products are easily understood. I have noticed that customers always want to purchase a product or service they have understood. No one wants to buy something he or she is ignorant about!

Celebrities / Mr 2kay: I Made Gifty, I Opened Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter For Her by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 3:42pm On Sep 04, 2017
The saga between former BBNaija housemate, Gifty, and singer Mr 2kay is now becoming messier as the singer has now come out to state the role he played in Gifty's life and how he accommodated her in his house before she made it to Big Brother.

Mr 2kay had previously explained why their relationship fell out saying they were not compatible together but Gifty clapped back saying their relationship fell out because Mr 2kay, couldn't handle it.

Mr 2kay in an interview with HipTV revealed that he made Gifty what she is today.

He said, 'Getting to where she is today, I supported her, all glory to God. Even when I got her in my video it was to support her, to see that she grows from where she was to another level'.

He also went further to say he opened all her social media accounts for her.

'I opened her Instagram for her, I opened her Snapchat for her, I opened her Twitter page for her. The only thing I didn't open for Gifty was Facebook. I did all that for her to support her. Few days ago when someone needed her for something I gave her number but if she was in my position she would not give my number out'.

He also claimed Gifty was living with him before she left for Big Brother.

'It was from my house to Big Brother, she came back from Big Brother back to me house'.

He further confirmed that they are no more together and that he has no issues with her.

Celebrities / Video Director, Adasa Cookey, Encourages Artistes To Sue NBC For Ban On Songs by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 3:27pm On Sep 01, 2017
We obviously haven't had it all on the NBC's decision to ban songs from top Nigerian artistes, Olamide, Davido and 9ice. Just yesterday 9ice reacted to the ban saying he'll be releasing more songs that the NBC will have to ban. Video director, Adasa Cookey has also now reacted to the ban saying the artistes have all the rights to sue the NBC.

In an interview with HipTV, the video director said, 'If it is one little part of your video that's causing your video to be banned, you can re-edit it and submit it for approval and make sure you do publicity after it's cleared. I mean you spent money to put out this stuff, if they ban it, it may be just one line that caused this ban so you don't have to go and chill that they banned your video because of one line'.

He continued, 'Go and meet them, they are people, and if you think they did not go through due process or you think they are wrong in banning your song I think it's high time somebody sued them. This is a business, an investment and they are interfering with people's money and people's livelihood. So if you feel they are wrong in banning your video, I think you should sue. They are the government doesn't mean they cannot be sued. You might even get retirement money from the whole process'.

'So basically I would just say, stay clear of things that can cause your video to be banned but if it's banned you know that you can remedy it, make efforts to remedy it. And if you think it's unlawful, sue them' he said.

Art, Graphics & Video / 4 Great Apps For Taking Pictures by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 2:59pm On Aug 31, 2017
You can get more out of your smartphone camera with these awesome photo apps that help enhance and give improvements to your simple everyday camera shots. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 great apps for taking pictures.

VSCO Cam
This is a great app for photography and image editing. It helps you capture images, tweak and tune them to your preferences, then sync the images across devices and share them with as many people as you want. It even has a Grid feature that helps you discover the best original photography from other VSCO users.

Snapseed
This photo app is owned by Google and is one of the most accessible photo editing apps for Android users. It has a wide range of features for experienced users and newcomers, and at it's most basic level, gives users the option to scroll through image enhancement options and control the intensity of effects used. It has a diverse range of features from basic automatic colour and contrast enhancement to cropping and sharpening. It also gives the option of selectively adjusting colour properties within a particular radius, and has varieties of filters and frames to choose from.

Pics Art Photo Studio and Collage
This app includes a robust photo editor with photo editing tools that allow you adjust white balance, tone, crop etc. However, Pics Art goes a step further by letting you purchase sticker packs on the app to use to adorn your photos; you can also add adjustable lens flares to your images, access varieties of filters and even apply Prisma-like features to transform your photos. In addition, Pics Art has its own tiny social media network that lets you share your photos on the app and make it free to edit, so others can edit or tweak your photos into something new and different.

Camera+
This app offers the ability to manually control both the exposure and focus of your images, which gives you total control of elements like brightness. It also has a 'stabilizer-like' feature that helps you avoid blurry pictures, and a one-touch 'clarity' button that instantly improves the results of a photograph. Basically, it gives instant improvements to your everyday shot, however, it is an iOS only option for now.

Politics / Nigeria Has Failed In The Battle Against Corruption - EFCC Chairman, Magu by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 7:18pm On Aug 30, 2017
The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, has described the war on corruption in Nigeria as almost lost, saying a lot needs to be done to revive it.

Speaking with journalists at a luncheon in Abuja on Wednesday, Mr. Magu said corruption was fighting back.
“The way we are going we have already failed. I am telling you we have almost failed. It is almost lost. The battle against corruption is not only evil, it is a poison,” the chairman said.

He however added that despite the challenges, a lot of successes had been recorded by the commission, between January and August 2017.
“Regardless of the challenges that we have faced and continue to face, I am happy to report that we are making progress,” he said.

“Many of you are aware of the achievements that we have recorded in the fight against corruption especially in the area of assets recovery. Two days ago, we got the court to forfeit to the Nigerian Government a sum of N7.6 billion which was hidden in a Nigerian bank by former petroleum resources minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

“Two weeks earlier, another court issued a temporary forfeiture order to seize properties worth Twenty One Million, Three Hundred and Ninety Two Thousand, Two Hundred and Twenty Four Thousand Dollars ($21,392,224) belonging to the same former minister. Those properties are awaiting final forfeiture.

“Over a month ago, the Commission recovered over N329 billion from a group of oil marketers for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. These are major recoveries from a sector of the economy. But to give a holistic picture of the aggressive drive to recover stolen wealth, I have the pleasure to report that the Commission between January and August 30, 2017 recorded the following monetary recoveries:

“Four Hundred and Nine Billion, Two Hundred and Seventy Million, Seven Hundred and Six Thousand, Six Hundred and Eighty Six Naira, Seventy Five Kobo (N409, 270, 706,686.75); Sixty Nine Million, Five Hundred and One Thousand, One Hundred and Fifty Six Dollars, Sixty Seven Cents ($69, 501,156.67); Two Hundred and Thirty One Thousand, One Hundred and Eighteen Pounds, Sixty Nine Shillings (Pounds 231,118.69; Six Hundred and Ten Thousand, Eight Hundred and Sixteen Thousand, Twenty Euros (Euro 610,816.20); Four Hundred and Forty Three Thousand, Four Hundred Dirham (Dirham 443,400.00 and (Seventy Thousand, Five Hundred Saudi Riyal (SR70, 500.00). he said

Politics / How We Planned #resumeorresign Protest - Top Member, Charly Boy's Group Exposes by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 10:23am On Aug 28, 2017
The #ResumeOrResign protest was spare-headed by entertainer, Charly Boy, in a bid to call home President Buhari while he was on medical leave abroad. In a statement sent exclusively to Absolute Hearts Blog, a top member and Charly Boy's front hand man during the protest, reveals how exactly the protest was planned and how people were mobilized for the protest. Read below:

It was during the call for a rally against austerity measures by Tuface (2baba) earlier this year in conjunction with Enough Is Enough (EIE) that I met Area Fada (Charly Boy). We all know that the country was facing great financial crunch at the moment, a quick reminder - two years ago, President Buhari became the first challenger to unseat an incumbent president in Nigeria's history and was sworn-in amid great hope and enormous good will.

Following his inauguration, the country was awash with optimism that his government would reignite a fading economy, perhaps by replicating the relatively successful Lagos-APC model. More pertinently, President Buhari would lay the foundation for a long overdue implementation of fiscal federalism and further diversify the national economy, as promised in the APC manifesto.

That President Buhari inherited a frail economy is not in doubt. Despite Nigeria's economy growing by over 6% in 2014, economic growth slowed to just under 3% by 2015 – the slowest pace in the democratic era. Prior to President Buhari's inauguration, the economic headwinds were apparent, especially in Nigeria's banking system, as a result of the crash in global crude oil prices in the summer of 2014.

Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) devalued the Naira thrice. The combination of the oil price slump and gross maladministration of previous regimes left the economy on tenterhooks by the time President Buhari took charge. Still, Nigerians remained hopeful that the bringer of change would get to work straight away in stabilizing the economy while plotting for the future. On this account, Nigerians were wrong.

By not having a full cabinet until 166 days after his inauguration, the President allowed the management of the nation's economy to be virtually put on hold for six months during which uncertainty prevailed, thus accelerating capital flight and weakening confidence. By the time the administration started showing some semblance of activity late in 2015, the economy was already in tatters, heading for its first annual recession since 1991.

There were the general issues we all saw and felt, for me; international online payments were suspended, this was the backbone of my business as I run a strictly online marketing process for my business. Those I buy raw materials from were stranded too, they could not buy dollars to import the materials to Aba to be bought and redistributed to the areas like Lagos where I am based.

Long story short! I met Fada (Charly Boy) at the rally ground and we latter matched to the National Theatre Iganmu Lagos. Present that day was Seyi Law and some members of EIE. That was my 4th outing for demonstrations against bad governance and policies of institutions in Nigeria. First 2 were for the freedom of religious expression and against the molestation and discrimination of Secondary school pupils by some school heads in Lagos for wearing Hijabs (a religious scarf of the Muslims). We later won the case in court.

The second time I met with Area Fada was also on the streets, on protest ground and against same thing, bad governance and this economic hardship, this time the rally was called by NLC, we all met at Yaba House of the union and matched to Gani Fawehinmi park after the union members chose to go to Alausa. Those of us who were not cool with the same thing took our protest to that park as against the government officials who would just lie to us again.

So all our meeting were just kind of divinely ordained. Aside loving his show as I grew up as a kid, yet 'hating' his personality or better put, not understanding his personality, We met on grounds where we both shared believes and huge interests, whew! all the 'hatred' diffused.

Until I was invited for a like minds' meeting to discuss the state of the nation, how youths can be better responsible citizens and partakers in the polity, I met him twice again on business grounds -the call came in from no where via referrals to make some collections for him because I run a fashion and branding business in Lagos.

Fast forward, we were introduced to the OUR MUMU DON DO ideals where the core values of the organization met mine. I was invited for other meetings and the plan to roll out chapters in every state was set. We were successful in Imo and Benue, those were our first moves. Although calls were already huge from all over the country, especially the north on how they have suffered majorly from their leaders. We told them to exercise some patience that we would be with them soon, to set up their chapter and see how our developmental programmes can reel out to them.

Do Nigerians even know Area Fada get calls from about 500 people in a week?
I mean people who are just unhappy with the government on issues like bad roads, electricity poles, even on water! Fada would just calm them down and see if he could reach those in power and influence something. Even if it's for the politicians to address the situation and calm its people down.

Plans were completed to go set up Benue chapter and to have some meetings in Abuja. Some of us went to Benue, others joined us at Abuja. I was not even scheduled to be at Abuja because I had a speaking/training engagement scheduled for Lagos with the Students Union Government and Junior Chamber International Lagos State Polytechnic on a Life After School Programme for graduands. The speaking engagement was cancelled and I was free to be at the meeting planned for Abuja, all thanks to Accademic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) who went on strike.

We got to Abuja and all the callers from the north were already booking meetings with us. They were so bitter, graduates yet jobless, those who walk around with CV, one even came to Abuja all the way from the east with only 2 shirts and 2 trousers, sleeps in a friend's sister's place. Gosh! Issues were abound, they were always glad Fada gave them hope that things would change for the better.

Everywhere we turned we were faced by people who needed help, we were so chocked up that we also started being scared of our safety. We planned to change our meeting venue, this was even for the masses who needed someone high there to reach.

So we asked, how do we make the government hear the plight of these people?, with the looming wars all around the country, how do make those in power know that facing economic and security issues at a time without solutions would blow up the country into crums. People kept wanting to be active in nation building, even if it's to have somewhere to discuss the problems at first, they pleaded, Fada was their shoulder which they laid on.

Other organizations also came to align with us but after several scrutiny we chose those we could walk with at that time. All our doings were very calculated and were sensitive, looking at our non aligned ideologies. Then we sat for days, weighing the options of challenging a government that brought hope for the nation which however, has not materialized.

We concluded, we must not let the government feel words were enough to calm people, well for real, we were always being lied to. So we need let the government know that when hunger reaches a level, people would revolt. Magically, 3 organizations fused to one and we chose the most SENSITIVE of all issues to use as a rider for our yearnings #ResumeOrResign. It was complex yet simple, huge yet small, soft yet hard at the same time.

We only wanted to sit everyday under a free, just 10 people to only call attention of our leaders to our plight. After the day-one jamboree, the government 'of the people' nearly killed us. How would you bring above 100 mopols with guns for 7 people, 20 police dogs, water canon which is twice the size of 1 armour tank and tear gas for 7 people... s-e-v-e-n of us o.

That blew up everything. They gave us the world wide recognition we did not even plan for. Our strategy was simple, sit everyday till Buhari returns and maybe in a month's time, we would then be recognized to be addressed and maybe the Acting President would further appeal to citizens to hold tight onto the rope of hope APC sold to us, but over-night, they made us a national issue for a straight 2 weeks. What we planned to achieve in a month, they gave to us in 2 days.

Then moral issues against the government came up; election promises, EFCC convictions, 'draconian' military past of Buhari, health issue of Yaradua etc.

They then left the major issues of economic and security hardships at the back burner. However we on the ground daily emphasised frustration, hunger, anger that was in the land and the greater need for peace.

Many wonder how and why a businessman like me found himself in the midst of a 'war', it was sheer love for the common man, passion for the country and concern for our dear president whom I 'fought' people and canvassed for to win elections in 2015.

I am just a simple normal citizen like you, who has families, friends, hopes and aspirations. I just don't feel good seeing the beggars in Lagos, or meeting my colleagues who still earn 30,000 Naira after 6 years of graduation, or when clients tell me they can't buy because the economy bites. I have 10 staff with at most 4 dependants each. A lot is also on my shoulders. I am not yet rich, I may be comfortable reasonably and sure I can never be poor, rather be momentarily broke, but what holds for my fellow man who is a result of a failed Nigerian system? The wheelbarrow pusher, the jobless, the political tug, the ritualist, the under-employed... oh God!

When eventually people laced our protest with politics between APC and PDP, also Ethnicity of Igbo and Hausa... I just laugh.

Almost all of us in OUR MUMU DON DO were instrumental for the APC government to be in power in 2015.

So if anyone want to call us names, call us heros, patriots and countrymen.

Join us in the awakening of the masses to be conscious, responsible and active citizens.

Webmasters / Top Digital Marketing Trends In 2017 by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 2:36pm On Aug 25, 2017
Digital marketing is soaring in popularity because it is not only a rapidly growing force in the current marketing playing field but it is set to be the future of marketing in general. It also seems likely that digital media will soon replace more traditional forms altogether. There’s no denying it - the world is rapidly shifting from analogue to digital and painfully enough most individuals haven’t come to the reality of this.

More surprisingly is the fact that the digital media is an ever-changing world with new trends and techniques springing up day in day out. As such here are the top Digital Marketing trends in 2017.

Live Videos
Live video has suddenly become the internet’s favorite. Live videos have now become a tool to directly and indirectly market your brand. It’s the reason why these social media platforms are now also heavily promoting their live video features Twitter (via Periscope), Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram have all released live video features and these has been a big marketing strategy for brands. Live videos have also been used in recent times to drive people to engage with a particular movement etc is the Olowogbogbo session done by Nigeria gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey. Who would ever think that over 70,000 people can be in the homes awake at midnight only to be on social media although for one hour worshipping God, more so happening for 30 days straight.

Live videos are quality unique content unlike other content that could be stolen and rebranded. Live videos are things that will stand out in the saturated world of content, so I can see plenty of reasons why brands should want to get involved.

Responsive content:
However you are dishing out the content of your brand campaigns, your content must be responsive to all screen sizes. Either your Ads on social media, your website content or your content for organic social media reach etc. Gone are the days when we feel only a brand’s website should be responsive, now all your content on all [platforms must be responsive to give users a smooth experience reaching those content.

Don’t always sell:
Now this is an irony. Telling someone who is marketing not to sell. Truth is that users are on the internet sometimes to get informed, entertained or educated. Push products to your users every time like someone who wants to sell honey to a bee isn’t the right way, Educate you audience, engage them, entertain them, create engaging content that will make them curious about you. Imagine what GTBank did with Ndani TV. Be very social, your audience are humans, not robot – as such make them feel you know they are humans.

Mobile Marketing:
As the demand for mobile phones are on the increase, this tells us that users now get content from their phones so if your content isn’t mobile friendly then you are missing out on a lot of engagement.

Technology Market / 7 Things To Consider When Buying A Smartphone by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 12:48pm On Aug 24, 2017
Mobile devices including smartphone and tablet market are increasingly becoming popular all around the globe. Advances in technology such as processing power, aesthetic form factor, smart applications, net connectivity, more memory space and increased batter power is propelling smartphone and tablet market to new heights than ever. With so many options available, it is becoming more of a challenging job to buy the right mobile device that suits you. This article highlights 8 important features that you need to consider when buying a smartphone or tablet. Read below:

Size of the Screen
Visual experience play a very important role in determining the quality of a smartphone. This makes screen size a major feature to look for when buying either smartphone or a tablet. A perfect screen to some extend can overshadow the defects in a model. Screen is also the single most expensive and important hardware component in a smartphone and tablets.

Thickness and Weight
Thickness and weight is another important factor to be considered when buying a smartphone or tablet. Thickness is more of an aesthetic concern than anything else. Thinner devices don’t always lead to a quality product. So it’s up to you to decide if you want to sacrifice quality over aesthetic value. Some smartphones and tablets come in a metallic casing, which gives a quality look to the device.

Operating System used by Smartphone or Tablet
OS that is used on a Smartphone or tablet is yet another major feature to be considered before you make a purchase. When it comes to OS that we use in our PC, we have the popular options to either go for Apple’s Macintosh, Microsoft Windows OS or the open source Linux. Windows OS is the winner here since it is very user friendly and got a huge choice of supporting applications and softwares to go with the OS. Similarly smartphones and tablets also runs on OS and the choices are Android OS, iOS, Microsoft Phone 7, Blackberry OS, webOS, Symbian etc. iOS is used only in Apple phones and tablets. Android OS is very popular and used in a wide range of models. Even though Windows phone is not as popular as Android, it is user friendliness and popularity is slowly capturing the smartphone and tablet OS market.

Storage space available in a Smartphone or Tablet
Most smartphone and tablet manufacturers these days are offering 16 GB storage capacity which is enough space for storing pics, songs and videos. However some users like to add additional memory to increase the storage capacity. Devices like Apple don’t come with a memory slot, but other tablets and smartphone comes with memory slots to add additional memory.

Apps Compatibility
One of the important feature of a smartphone or tablet is the presence of Apps. It is similar to using application software in your PC. Compatibility of apps is very important to be considered when you buy a smartphone or tablet. For example: Apple App store has over 300,000 free and premium apps available. Android also have over 250,000 free and premium apps present. Other mobile OS also have apps available, but limited in numbers compared to iOS and Android. The more the number of apps available, the more options for you to find and install the right apps for your needs.

Camera Options
Almost all smartphones and all tablets come with an in built camera. Camera by default is a major feature that most customers check by default when buying mobile devices. It is a very useful feature especially when you are looking forward for recording memories and spur of the moment events. Its amazing to see the recent developments in mobile camera technology. Even cameras with 16MP are available with some tablet models. If you are NOT much of a capturing events on camera person, you can go for models without camera or camera with less MP to save some bucks.

TV and Video options
It is an increasing trend now a day to record high quality videos using smartphones or tablets and share it across different platforms. To see the real quality of the recorded video, one will definitely want to try it on a bigger screen connecting to display monitors or television. So the next time, you decide to buy a smartphone or tablets, you may want to see if it carries options for connecting to these devices. Next time you want to buy a smartphone or tablet, remember these tips and act accordingly....

Travel / Six Things Nigerians Should Not Do On A Flight by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 10:20am On Aug 24, 2017
Six Things Nigerians Should Not Do On A Flight - By Jumia Travel

Traveling is stressful. However, the behaviour of some fellow passengers can make your experience quite unpleasant.

Hence, it is important for every passenger to be aware of some of the things you should not do on a flight. As such, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares some of these things.

Don't walk around barefoot
There is nothing wrong with removing your shoes while sitting. However, it is a turn off when you walk around barefooted. So, no matter the distance of where you are going, always ensure you wear your shoes.

Recline your seat
As a passenger, you should be considerate of other passengers by not reclining your seat no matter how uncomfortable you are. But if it is absolutely necessary, you should inform the person behind you.

Badmouth our country
Quite a number of Nigerians are in the habit of badmouthing the country. Try as much as possible not to do this especially when you are on an international flight. Be patriotic and defend your country!

Letting your kids run around
Parents should be attentive to their kids and prevent them from playing around. Most people understand your kids will scream and cry. But, allowing them to play around disturbing others is unacceptable.

Don't wear shorts
If you can, try to wear clothing that covers your skin. No one is interested in you showing off your skin.

Don't turn off the air vent over your seat
If the air blowing makes you cold, it is advisable to wear a sweatshirt rather than turning off the vent. You should know that you are not the only passenger.

Webmasters / 6 Simple Ways To Protect Your Online Privacy by TunnyOgunnowo(m): 10:40am On Aug 23, 2017
With almost everyone relying on the internet to perform tasks, there is barely anything like privacy. All your personal information are readily available to everyone by simply googling your name. However, you can control the information others have access to online thereby guaranteeing your online privacy by taking certain steps. Here are the steps you should take.

Password all your devices
Protect all your devices with passwords and that includes your computers, tablets, smartphones and anything other gadgets with your personal data on them. If it is unsecured by a password, your lost or stolen gadget will become a source of personal information for whoever has it and this can lead to identity theft.

Use two-factor authentication
The two-factor authentication is becoming very popular today. Activating this feature will not give you or any other person immediate access to your accounts. Instead, when you login, you will need to enter a special code that the website texts to your phone. No code, no access.

Do not share too much information on your social media profile
The more information you share online, the easier it's going to be for someone to get their hands on it. One of such ways to get this information is via social media. So, check your social media profiles and remove information such as date of birth, phone numbers and email addresses. Anyone who wants to contact you should send a Direct Message.

Enable private browsing
If you don't want anyone with physical access to your computer to see your online activities, you should enable private browsing which is a setting available in all major web browser. Enabling it will automatically delete cookies, browsing history and temporary Internet files after you close the window.

Set up a Google alert for your name
This is one of the easiest ways to keep track of everything someone may be saying about you on the website. With the activation of Google alert, you will be alerted immediately if someone illegally accesses your information.
