T-mobile cell phone unlocking app, will allow users to change operators


Do you wish to unlock your cell phone that you got through T-mobile? Well, it will be possible soon through the upcoming T-mobile cell phone unlocking app that will allow unlocking cell phone so that you can use the mobile with other carriers. So, no more paying to unlock T-mobile cell phone or following crappy unlocking tutorials; as T-mobile is making an app that will allow one to opt out of the service and take the advantage of other carriers. However, the problem is the app is still under testing phase and there is no solid news when it will be available to users.
Now, you might be thinking about unlocking a phone that you bought at discounted price from T-mobile through the new T-mobile cell phone unlocking app. But let me tell you, T-mobile is much smarter, as it won’t support unlocking in recently purchased mobiles. One must stay with the carrier for at least duration of 40 days with good amount of usage during this period. Also, the full amount of the device should be paid off before one can unlock the cell phone using the T-mobile cell phone unlocking app. What is good about this software is that one will not have to have nagging conversations with the customer care to get help on unlocking or following tutorials which sometimes makes no sense to some people.


Apart from permanent unlocking, T-mobile cell phone unlocking app will allow one to make temporary unlocking of the device. This will be particularly useful for those who are planning to roam or move abroad. The temporary feature will enable one to use service of other carriers for a period of 30 days, and most probably it could be used once. The first phone that will feature the T-mobile cell phone unlocking app is going to be Samsung Avant, as the T-mobile cell phone unlocking app is undergoing testing with this device; older phones will have to stick to the traditional methods to unlock though. However, it is expected that the upcoming phones will come pre-installed with the T-mobiile cell phone unlocking app.

What should be the optimal keyword density for SEO?


To do well in the search results you must know about the optimal keyword density for SEO. Most of beginners when they come to know about keywords; finds a targeted keyword; they usually start stuffing their post with the targeted word. The result is however demising. And they keep wondering why their pages aren't getting the rank they deserve. Well, this semi-concept should not be applied; instead one should have a good knowledge of keyword density for SEO if they want organic traffic to the site through search engines. In this post apart from density, I’ll be talking about the SEO basics for other two terms called distribution and frequency, which are equivalently important and should be always kept in mind. It is so because the spiders usually consider these three things while indexing and including pages in search results. So, before proceeding any further, I would like you to get yourself familiar with these terms.

What is keyword density?

Talking about keyword density for SEO, it is actually the percentage of keyword or phrases that is present in an article. Suppose, you have written a 500 words article and your targeted keyword appears 15 times. Divide the total number of targeted keywords by the total number of words in the article and multiply it by 100 per cent. In this example, the keyword density will be 3 per cent.

What are keyword frequency and keyword distribution?

Keyword frequency is similar to keyword density for SEO. It is a measure of how frequently the targeted term appears in the post or page. As per the search engine norms, any word except for stop words that has been used two or more times is considered to be a keyword. Lastly keyword distribution means how the terms have been spread over the whole post. Whether it has been evenly distributed or clustering in a specific segment.  The former is preferable and clustering practices should be avoided.

What should be the optimal keyword density for SEO articles?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions. Hyper-density should be avoided. The optimal keyword density for SEO should be in between 3-5 per cent. So if you are writing a post of 500 words, you should not put more than 25 times of the targeted keyword in that post which amounts to a total keyword density of 5 per cent. Also it should be evenly distributed throughout the article. Do not force them to form a sentence, in fact it should be natural sounding and easy to read. You can use stop words in between your keywords to maintain the optimal keyword density for your SEO articles as the stop words are not counted and also gives an easy read.

It has been said that spiders emphasizes more on the first 200 words of a post, so your keyword should be present at least in the first two hundred words and of course in the title of the post too. I have written a general guideline for optimal keyword density for SEO, for a 750 words article that has got 5 paragraphs. This is not “the” way, but “a” way to maintain the right amount of keyword density for SEO. You can device your own as long as it has the desired keyword density, frequency and distribution. So here is the example.

  • It is mandatory for your targeted keyword to be present ONCE in the title of the post
  • If you use meta description and meta keywords, then once or twice should be present in it.
  • Start your article with the targeted term in the first sentence and if that is not possible then it should be placed in the first paragraph at least. And also the keyword or phrase must be repeated twice in the first 200 words, including the one in the first sentence. Or you can simply chose to put the keyword two times in the first paragraph.
  • For the second, third and fourth paragraphs, use the keyword once
  • In the last paragraph; use twice. If possible once in the last sentence.

This was an example for a 750 words article. However, each article varies in word length, so you will need to optimize the keyword density for SEO for each individual article. But as you now know about the technique, I believe that won’t be a problem anymore. You can make your own guidelines like the one above based on the above principles for different length articles to save time of calculating density of keywords for search engine optimization. Also apart from maintaining the optimal keyword density for SEO, always keep an eye open to check if the words have been evenly distributed or not.

How to enable Google Chrome offline mode?


You can enable Google Chrome offline mode by this method which will let you work with it even when not connected to the internet. It is based on saving of files in the cache. We already have seen this feature in Internet Explorer and Firefox. They have a specific setting for that purpose. You can change your browser, but of course Chrome is simpler and faster and you might be wondering how to work offline in Google Chrome? But, Chrome doesn’t have such setting at this moment. But that is not a problem. You can still enable the Google Chrome Offline mode in just the following few easy steps.

The browser usually shows the little black and white dinosaur when you are offline, but with this method you can view all the recently visited pages that are stored in the cache. Working offline may be necessary when you are away from a network or you are in a flight. So, before you could work offline in Google Chrome, you’ll first have to enable Google Chrome Offline mode. To do this, in the address bar of your browser type this:  chrome://flags/#enable-offline-mode . A page will open where you’ll have to click on the enable button as shown below.


After you have enabled Google Chrome offline mode, you’ll have to restart the browser. Now, you’ll be able to work offline in Google chrome. This option will save the webpages as a whole, so the pages will look more or less same as the online version. However, java scripts and widgets that require an active internet connection might not be displayed properly. To see if the Google Chrome Offline mode is working properly or not, open a page in your browser. This will save the page in automatically in the cache. After that disconnect your internet and restart the browser again. If you had been correctly able to enable Google Chrome offline mode, then the cached version of the webpage will load.

How to find keywords for SEO to boost traffic instantly?


You won’t get good traffic unless you know how to find keywords for SEO and use them correctly. Getting the right keyword or keyword phrase is equally as important as using them correctly in post for search engine optimization. This is one of the search engine optimization basics to be learned, or no “word” is going to take you any further. First thing first, before making a post you should determine which keywords or keyword phrase you’ll be using. So, make a list of that. A good way to start is to think like the people about what they are going to search to get to the topic you’ll writing about or the product you’ll be selling. To get statistics about the searches you can use some SEO keyword tools. Both paid and free versions of SEO Keyword tools are available. Although paid versions gives more detailed statistics but one can start with free ones like Adwords keyword Planner tool which also gives ideas about related searches or you can use BruceClay Free SEO Keyword Tool to get the search volumes on different engines. From there you can find keywords for SEO and make a list out of it. I would suggest making a long list when you are planning of using keywords for SEO. Just don’t including only those highly searched SEO keywords, including the medium ones too. It is because the highly searched ones have more competitors and would not be fruitful if you just stuff your post with them or using keywords for SEO correctly just because of competition. Perfect balance of both high and medium intensity SEO keywords are desirable.

Should you select keyword or keyword phrases for SEO?

A keyword is a single word whereas a keyword phrase is a bunch of meaningful words usually two or more. People use single word to gather information as it gives a broad search result. On the other hand, phrases are used to get specific results and it is usually used when someone is planning to buy something. So, if you are selling a service or a product then phrases are what you should give your attention to. Also statistics shows that about 55 to 60 per cent of the searches are keyword phrases, so you should probably give more concentration to it, but don’t ignore single keywords altogether. But while making the “long” list, find keywords for SEO as well as key phrases.

Concentrating and dilutional effects of Keyword in SEO

This is one of important aspect of using the correct keywords for webpages for Search Engine Optimization. Suppose you are selling white tennis balls and your site talks about only white balls. Obviously the search engine will give you a rank higher for that product. But now you started to sell Black tennis balls as well, thus removing your exclusiveness that you held while selling white ones. This will dilute the theme and thus decrease your rank even for the white tennis ball searches that you gained earlier. The best way to avoid this is to create different webpages and retaining the exclusiveness. This implies to the individual posts you make on your site. Suppose here I am talking about how to find keywords for SEO for best results, but now if I talk about some other irrelevant topics, it will dilute the theme of this post and thus will have a negative effect on searches. Just finding the correct keywords for SEO is not enough, sticking to the one which is relevant to your theme is more important.
Did you notice the missing D in the first view? :)

Use stop words, don’t sound like a robot.

Google has stopped indexing stop words (eg. as, the, for, etc.) but they are still used to give the most relevant search results. In this post users could have got here by searching for the keyword phrase “find keywords SEO how” but that definitely sounds like a robot and so instead I have used how to find keywords for SEO, which sounds more natural and acceptable. Also, using “robotic phrases” might give an impression of keyword stuffing and may give a negative effect although in the beginning you might get a good rank. The long term outcome is always bad though. So “use stop words” whenever you need it to make it more natural sounding.

Also when you find a keyword, you must make sure that it generates no or minimal bounce rates. Bounce rate means the rate at which people leaves your page by staying only for a brief period. We all want users to stay longer in our pages, so make sure you don’t use bounce words!

Based on the above principles now I think you’ll be able to shortlist and select the best keywords for SEO of your webpage or individual posts by selecting it as it is or modifying it using stop words. However, the story doesn’t end here. We are just done with the first part that is how to find keywords for SEO, to use them correctly I would recommend you to read my post on using keywords correctly to write SEO articles. Hope it will be helpful.

How to send an anonymous email?


Do you wish to send an anonymous email so that you could protect your identity and keep it undisclosed? Well, there are several services out there for this purpose. But the current quake in this field is brought by the new messaging app called LEAK. This anonymous email service allows you to send an email to anyone in just a few clicks. The service have gained a lot of popularity since its launch mainly because of its simplicity and guaranteed delivery of the anonymous emails.

LEAK is designed for the purpose to do good. If you have a confession to make someone or you would like to reveal something to your co-worker, or a friend or loved ones but at the same time you wish to maintain the anonymity then LEAK messaging app is what you need. LEAK runs on the principle of delivering harmless anonymous email so no kind of threat message will be tolerated in accordance of their terms but there is no filtering to prevent this either at the moment. To use this anonymous email service, all you need to do is visit their website and fill up three fields viz, the email id of the recipient, your identity in the form of Friend, co-workers, etc. and of course your message. You must agree with the terms and condition before you send the message. Some of the examples of the kind of messages that have been already sent as anonymous emails  are shown below.

As you can see above the LEAK anonymous email service urges one to sent harmless and decent messages. But the platform can be used to send negative messages also. The founder Desserey said that it has been built with the motive to express the truth someone is ashamed to say face to face. The founder wishes that users will be using the LEAK email service for good only and do stick to the terms. It is hard conclude whether it will only be used for all positive purpose but with a service like this to send anonymous email, the odds for using it for negative purpose is also high.
