I’m not involved in any protests, but I think that all attempts to fight piracy may violate basic freedom principles. Moreover I share the idea is that USA is some kind of evil empire. I’m not afraid of evil and neither I want to promote anti-Americanism nor join the voice of liberal freedom fighters. I share the thought that soon America will lose it’s superpower and in future we’ll face huge cataclysms and catastrophes.

It’s hard to predict how the situation goes, but as one of my Russian friends told: SOPA is the sign of ZHOPA. (“zhopa” is “ass” in Russian). To finish this post I remembered one novel I used to read. The Turner Diaries by Andrew Macdonald. It’s a prediction of US future and how the society will go deeply in the conflicts and wars. I think you can easily find it as a free e-book, but to show respect to copyright I’m giving a link to amazon on the top )

What was surprising is high prices. Cause these prices (the screenshot is at the end of this post) are much higher than the prices of other Seo software. Ok, but Link Emperor pretended to make all linkbulding so it could substitute all the different cheaper programs. So I decided to apply for 3-day trial.Firstly I signed up to their affiliate program but it seemed so user-unfriendly so I didn’t get where to find simple affiliate link. Then I signed up for a trial, which of course did not include link building. And I found the interface of Link Emperor simple but useless comparing to other software I used (i.e. SeNuke). I wanted to try their so proclaimed in promotional video long-tail keyword research option but found nothing. Moreover their keyword gathering option seemed to be worse than existing ones I’ve seen. Why should one pay more if there are cheaper services which are more credible (Spufy, Semrush, KeywordSpy).

And their link building options seemed to show no big difference with those link building tactics I’ve seen before.

So my conclusion is that Link Emperor is designed for lazy web-entrepreneurs who don’t have time and abilities to discover other software and seo knowledge by themselves. But even for them the way Link Emperor looks could be complicated. If I consider it not very usable so the newbie could be completely lost there.

Here is their pricing screenshot for now (I’m sure they will lower the prices soon)

There are dozens of social networks. But if you are going to make accounts everywhere and share your posts everywhere you will loose a lot of time. In this case you’d better use ping.fm. And the plugin I’m talking about is not for you but for the visitors of your web-site. And I think it includes 4 main networks where people hang. Twitter is by many people and it’s only 1 click to make retweet if someone likes your post. Although I don’t like facebook I acknowledge that many people hang there. It’s only 1 click to like and your post is displayed in one’s feed. Stumbleupon can also provide you lots of traffic in short time. And Google+ is nowaday trend. One-click plus may improve the ranking of your post in serps (although it’s hard to tell to which extent) and your visitors can at the same time share this post to their Google Plus account.

So I think among many social networks it’s better to focus on these 4. I believe people are lazy and it’s better not to give them to many variants for submission and stick to those 4.

Now I usually install plugins from inside of the WordPress dashbord. This is much faster than to download and upload it by ftp. And I activate plugin as soon as it is installed.

So the first plugin which I’ve recently installed at my new wordpress site is Favicon Generator. This is a very simple way to generate your favicon from the image. Favicon may be considered as a part of your brand. So it adds the effect of visual recognizability to your site in the eyes of your visitors. To make a favicon takes only 1 minute and remember you may need to clear browser’s cash to see new favicon.
