Another useful Chrome extension. Google Chrome extensions that I use VKFeedKiller

Dear friends, today I want to talk about those Google Chrome browser extensions that I use in my work to promote websites and more.

In one of the previous articles on the site, I saw a comment with this question, and decided to answer it in video format.

I will talk about the following Google Chrome extensions:

RDS Bar, Evernote Web Clipper, View Selection Source, Search the current site, Clearly, SEOquake, MozBar, Megaindex Bar, Alexa Traffic Rank, Joxi and Ahrefs SEO Toolbar.

So, let's watch the video:

You can download it from the official website http://www.recipdonor.com/bar. This extension is also available for Mozilla Firefox and Opera.

I did a detailed review of the capabilities of this extension, you can see it in this post:

I use the RDS Bar all the time. With its help, you can see the basic SEO parameters of any site, from the number of pages in the Yandex and Google index to availability in directories and from the link to a saved copy of the site in the Web Archive to the number of links.

Evernote Web Clipper

🔥 By the way! I have released a paid course on promoting English-language websites. If you are interested, you can apply for the early list through this form to be the first to know about the release of the course and receive a special discount.

I talked about it in a post on my personal blog.

With its help, you can search any site using Google search, which is much more advanced than any built-in search on sites. Plus, you can sort the results by date and other parameters.

Let's say you open a page on a website that you want to read. The Clearly extension allows you to remove ads and sidebars so that nothing distracts you from reading. You can customize the font size and color, and make settings to your taste. You can also save to Evernote and print.

Allows you to view Google search results in other countries. I wrote about SEO Global settings in an article about .

SEOquake

The official website of Seokquake is seoquake.com/ru_index.php.

One of the most popular SEO extensions for Chrome, along with RDS Bar.

It has very rich functionality and many settings. I usually keep it deactivated. I activate it when needed.

MozBar is convenient for quickly checking its Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) parameters when visiting a site. These indicators are popular on the English-speaking Internet and are used to roughly assess the quality of sites.

MegaindexBar

This extension allows you to go to the pages of the Megaindex.ru service, which has very rich functionality for website analysis. With one click you can immediately go to the desired section and view information about the site of interest.

Alexa Traffic Rank

This is a tool from Alexa.com, a popular website statistics service on the English-speaking Internet. It makes it possible to quickly assess the approximate level of traffic to a particular resource.

For Runet, you can use a similar extension “Site statistics from LiveInternet.ru”, which displays traffic data based on the counter of this service.

Ahrefs SEO Toolbar

Can be downloaded from this page: https://ahrefs.com/labs/seo-toolbar/.

A convenient extension from the popular link analysis service ahrefs.com. It allows you to find out basic information about the links of the site you are interested in without going to the service itself. This saves time.

10. Orbitum Themes. Changing the page design

This extension contains thousands of luxurious page design options. Surely you will find among them something that resonates with your soul more than the standard design.

The add-ons above are just a small part of what the Chrome Store offers for VK users. There are many offers and what not among them! There is even an addon that displays a “Nichoshi!” picture after each like.

The things listed in the article have many analogues, and some extensions can even do several things at once (for example, VkOpt).

Among the wide variety of social networks, VKontakte is the most popular among Russian users. People use this social network to fulfill a wide variety of purposes. Some people like to listen to music while working or chat with friends, others prefer to look for interesting groups to diversify their leisure time, and there are also people who simply like to be aware of all the important events in the lives of their friends. Everyone has their own goals, but completing some VKontakte tasks can become much easier if you install additional extensions in your Google Chrome browser that make working with the social network much easier.

VKStater

Interesting posts on social networks attract the attention of many people who like and repost. If there is a need to highlight the characteristic features of the audience who liked a particular post, then it is not at all necessary to do this manually by opening the pages of all the people who liked a particular post. Using the VKStater extension, you can do this in just a couple of clicks. First you need to install the extension from the official online store. After activating it, a special icon should appear on the browser toolbar; when clicked, the extension window will open in front of the user. There, in a special field, you need to insert a link to a specific post and get the necessary statistical data about the users who liked it (gender, age, city of residence, favorite public pages).

Vkontakte Stats

People who are very interested in statistical data may find another extension useful, called Vkontakte Stats. It will pinpoint which friends a person communicates with most often, and even count how many messages have been received and sent.

Informer VKontakte

Going to your VKontakte page is very dangerous, especially if you do it during working hours, as you can waste several hours. One of my friends posted new photos, another posted an interesting video or a link to a fascinating post. It usually takes a lot of time to look through all this, and the work ultimately remains unfinished. And here the VKontakte Informer extension comes to the rescue. It will notify the user of incoming messages. This way, a person does not have to go to his social network page every time to see if anyone has responded there.

Message templates

Sometimes VKontakte users have to send identical messages to their interlocutors. For example, these could be customers of an online store who are interested in the availability of a product, or clients of a company who need to find out contact information. In everyday life, we also sometimes write using templates: we congratulate each other on holidays or send class schedules to our classmates, etc. To avoid having to do this manually every time, it is better to prepare templates for each occasion in advance and send them in the most convenient way using an extension.

VKMenu

For some users, VKontakte is the first site that launches immediately after opening the browser. If it is set as the home page, then using VKMenu you can add other resources that are interesting to the user to the side menu of the page. This will allow you to constantly stay up to date with all the news.

The useful extensions for VKontakte do not end there. We will continue to talk about them in our next article.

And having a convenient browser means working productively and quickly with the Internet. One of the most popular, preferred by 61% of network users in 2015. However, this program is aimed at general work and does not include various auxiliary functions for performing more specific tasks. That's why there is a special Google Chrome store ( chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps), in which you can purchase a variety of additional tools, so-called extensions for Google Chrome, which can significantly simplify the work of users on the Internet. Below is a list of the most popular add-ons that may be useful to you.

To work with SEO (search engine optimization)

1. RDS bar is the most used tool in the SEO field. The plugin icon displays the TIC of the site you are currently on. By clicking on the icon, you can get the following information about the site:

TIC and PR indicators;

The number of pages that were indexed by Yandex, Google and Bing systems;

The number of pages that were included in the search of Yandex, Google, Bing, Yahoo and Rambler;

Availability of the site in the DMOZ and Yandex.Catalogue catalogs;

2. SEOquake. This plugin is aimed at obtaining indicators such as Google and PR indexing, Yahoo links, Bing index, Alexa Rank, Whois links, display of Nofollow links and others. All information is displayed above the site during a search, or in the top bar of the browser, without requiring additional movements from the user, which makes it convenient to use.

3. META SEO inspector - the best Google Chrome plugin for working with meta tags. If you have encountered manually filling out title and meta data on your website, then you know how labor-intensive it is. The META SEO inspector displays all installed meta tags at the top of the page, which will allow you to identify those that for some reason were not registered.

4. Stats Checker for Google Analytics is a simple application that, using your Google Analytics account, displays all information about traffic to your site when you click on its icon.

5. MegaIndex Bar - a plugin similar to RDS bar. Provides information on the main SEO indicators of the site: indexing in Google and Yandex, TIC and Pr, availability in the Yandex.catalog. Provides access to services for promotion, auditing, analysis of website visibility and performance.

With its help, you can conveniently select words and phrases, choosing from a ready-made list with the click of a button, and also create your own lists with the frequency of queries in programs such as OpenOffice Calc and others.

8. Realtime Yandex update monitor. This extension is designed to monitor all updates made by Yandex. In the event of any update, the program will notify the user about all kinds of updates, for example, changes in the TIC or search results positions. Information is provided by the SEOBudget service. Also, during installation, the application will be able to inform the user about the last three updates.

To translate text

1. Bubble Translate is an easy-to-use translator with a lot of settings. Once you have set the parameters you need, you can no longer enter the plugin menu. To translate, just select the desired word or fragment of text and press “Ctrl”.

2. Instant Translate. Unlike the previous translator, this extension has wide functionality. The Instant Translate database contains more than 60 languages ​​and a large number of synonyms for translated words. It is also capable of reproducing both the original word and its translation, performing translations in PDF files online, saving the history of translations, and allows you to set up to 9 different key combinations for translation into different languages.

For social networks, retweet and bookmarks

1. AddThis - Share & Bookmark (new). A useful browser add-on that works with a large number of social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google, MSN Messenger, MySpace, Delicious, Vkontakte, Gmail, Blogger, Yahoo Mail, Tumblr, Mail.ru and others. Allows you to easily and quickly exchange posts, that is, retweet, and add pages to bookmarks.

2. goo.gl URL Shortener – in addition to all the capabilities that AddThis has, this extension for Google Chrome allows you to shorten page links. This feature will be useful for users of social networks, where the size of the entered message is limited. It is known that many links are quite long, which significantly limits the number of characters for the message itself, for example, a post on Twitter (no more than 140 characters) - goo.gl URL Shortener was created to solve this problem.

Google Chrome extensions for downloading files

SaveFrom.net is the best plugin of its kind, allowing you to download files from social networks and multimedia sites, including YouTube, VK, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Vimeo, RapidShare, in one click.

To take screenshots

1. Pixlr Grabber is a real Photoshop built into your browser. With its help, you can not only edit photos taken from the screen, but also apply various filters to them. It is also capable of photographing a selected part of the screen, and the captured screenshots can be sent to some social networks, such as Facebook.

2. Joxi – a fast and convenient plugin for creating screenshots. It can photograph the entire page, save the image to the hosting (users are provided with 1 GB of memory), and also edit the screen - create annotations and draw arrows.

Despite the usefulness of all the above-mentioned plugins for Google Chrome, it is worth taking into account that each requires a certain percentage of computer resources to operate. Therefore, you should reduce the number of extensions to a minimum, leaving the most necessary ones, otherwise your computer's performance may suffer.
