Your choice of blog has to depend on its relevance to what your website is about. This is important in terms of link building as well. A link will only be considered valid and high quality if it emerges from a website similar in theme to yours. Of course, you can be flexible regarding the theme and even subtle similarities work. This also ensures some level of reader overlap, meaning more people get to read what you post.

Ranking Factors

Ranking is also a crucial thing you need to consider when selecting a platform for a guest blog post. The two things you need to keep at the forefront are the Domain Authority and PageRank. A high score on both is imperative for a website to be considered worthy of guest posting. Otherwise, keep looking.

Roles may change: Google and Facebook may hit financial services 31

Roles may change: Google and Facebook may hit financial services 32

The world needs great financial players, so Google and Facebook say ‘we are there at your service’, just check ‘what’s on your mind’, and then ‘search’ for results.

Though the blabber of these Search Engine tycoons to land on the runway of Financial Services are lined up in the market but Gartner clarifies that the result won’t be traditional banking stuff.

Also, the market astrologers clear the view showing that Facebook and Google won’t be opening their ends with banking but still confirms to be a rivalry power in the financial market. This jump is unlike Apple’s hype about “digital mega-firms”.

David Furlonger, the vice president of Gartner predicts an evolution to strike the internet “continued to raise questions about the continued viability of brick and mortar establishments in retailing and financial services”.
He further justifies his words and said the internet companies may face this just because they work “as the commercial enterprises of the future”.

The discussion even adds a few more lines; he said that as far as competition is concerned retail banking will be a safer option as “it would be like trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole”.
He recommends his words for approval by adding “this just does not fit”.

Gartner then moves forward more profoundly that digital companies had many favors served in their platter including data management and analytics expertise.  It added such companies were also adept at extending their value chain analysis beyond the core offering, this was processed to grab better business opportunities and a higher level of customer satisfaction.

The contradicting fact that really throws a ball of fire is that these companies lack intellect or experience in in-depth security which is not at all a favoring genre for all the banking applications.

Though the favors offered by Google and Apple were very well aware of the security and privacy needs of customer data. But the fact is still the mere one that this industry needs perfection and a newcomer doesn’t offer the needed amount.

As the age-old market trends show that the newcomers cannot be the rulers, so specifying the fact that the new kids may also struggle too.

To bring a better verdict, they need to show a stable performance to hike up in the market. Regulatory compliance was also said by the company to prove tough hours when they are required to report financial regulators.

Mr. Furlonger still adds a surveyed view that “as a result, digital mega-firms would alter and shape the market by helping it develop and change by making customers better informed and occasionally making catalytic forays into the market with niche financial services offerings.

So it hardly matters who is the new power in the market the fact remains the same that traditional banking did well, is doing well, and will retain to do well.

Google Security at Stake- Android Apps

Google Security at Stake- Android Apps 34

Google Security at Stake- Android Apps 35

Android surely is doing great in the app market but still, perfectionism hasn’t been noticed.  But the new step observed isn’t surely appreciable in comparison with Google. Android applications haven’t been property verified till now; still, it takes a bigger step to launch an operating system up to malware. Experts bring it into notice as a matter of insecurity.

Researchers are highly influential to the decision. Analysts from Germany’s Leibniz University of Hannover and Philipps University of Marburg have found that Google’s Play Market consists of more than 41 applications that unrevealed sensitive data when it flew smoothly in the handsets supported by Ice-Cream Sandwich. This has also been noticed in the web servers of banks offering online services.

The brawl of the apps doesn’t see an end here, also if you connect this device to a local search network that engages itself in various eminent exploits. Among them, few are available online to putter the relevance to defeat the secure sockets layer and deport these layers as instructed by the apps.

These apps are well-known in the market, and as the stats show- already 39.5 million have been already downloaded and 185 times. So not to wonder many of the Androids are at stake.

The analysis reports say that the payment credentials of PayPal, American Express, and others can also be easily bunched up.

The list of botheration even includes Facebook, email, and cloud storage credentials also lie in the danger arena. Access to IP cameras can easily be amassed also the channels can be controlled for apps and remote servers can be easily capsized.

It has also been noticed that the can of worms also has touched the brittleness of the SSL and TLS protocols, which has altogether provided a platform for virtual encryption between the website and its users.

Technology isn’t un-secure rather its protection can be attenuated when the certificate authors don’t immune to the framework.

The stats even show further numerical data. The analysts have downloaded 13,500 free apps from Google Play to verify the SSL implementation of the apps were influentially vulnerable to “ man-in-the-middle” exploits, as reported.

The outcomes of the research showcased 1,074 apps or eight percent of the sample, as you prefer, that contained SSL-specific code that would either welcome all the certificates or all the hostnames eligible for a certificate and finally they are assailable to MITM mishaps.

One thing that I really feel strange is that the story narrated by the researchers doesn’t consider any comparison with the Apple Apps.

Researchers gave their profound version of the comment “the openness of the Google platform made it easier to perform static analysis and zero in on the apps with SSL implementations that exposed sensitive user data. In other words, it was easier to test which apps were vulnerable using a system they invented. Apple software could also be vulnerable, but it’s harder to come up with an accurate test for it.”

But the main verdict of concern still remains on the same edge; the culpability for the apps is most probably worldwide, pointing to all the Android smartphones. So give it a check, analysts have spoken a lot, now it’s your turn to review.
