Hey attorney hackers welcome to this Week’s podcast episode in this episode We are going to be sharing our favorite Chrome extensions with mac now some of Them you might know already and that’s Fine but we also tell you how we use Them exactly in our process but some of Them i’m sure you don’t know about and They’re going to be saving lots of time Or lots of money because actually all of These extensions are free a lot of them Might be premium so like they might try To sell you a more expensive plan or Something but we kind of like designed This podcast so that you don’t have to Pay for anything to get value and that Is something that i think a lot of you Guys will appreciate so let’s get Started with the episode and don’t Forget to subscribe and like if you like That kind of stuff i will show the tools We use [Music] Hey everyone welcome back to the atari Hacker podcast we had a lot more Downloads than usual last week so or Like two weeks ago rather so thank you For everyone who joined on this one i Guess the topic kind of have we talked About the last google core update and You know findings and things that people Have observed in the community and so on So if you missed that one you can go Check it out i just wanted to make a
Quick update and say that apparently a Lot of this has been rolled back Actually a lot of people have been Commenting that they lost rankings at The beginning of the update and it came Back happened to one of our sites Actually we’re now back higher than we Were just before the beginning of the Update uh and a lot of people in age pro Have confirmed that this happened to Them as well so it looks like one of These updates where google was not Exactly happy with what they got And i don’t think they cancelled Everything like some people didn’t come Back uh but quite a few people did um so That’s that’s kind of a good news uh so Yeah that’s pretty much it i just wanted To update you i actually have an update On that before you asked me how it’s Going um yeah i was gonna say that’s not How we do things here you know It’s going fine thanks for asking uh so I was talking to a couple people about This and you’d mention the this featured Snippet ban but have you come across the People also ask ban as well Because Someone showed me uh um their site and They they basically went from having You know a few hundred per day um to Zero Uh which felt like a band but then they Sent me this link to another youtube
Video and someone was talking about it Being potentially some kind of bug or Error on google side so maybe that’s Part of the rollback i don’t know but i Just thought it was an interesting angle To it as well I think this is one of these occasions And it happens right where google Really did roll back a significant Portion of what happened and i think What it shows as well is that these Updates are not just one thing because If they were just one thing a rollback Could only be a hundred percent rollback Almost like you know you’d see Everything come back or something like The fact that i think what google does Is they batch like 10 15 updates Together They roll everything out together and Then maybe now they can sold six out of 15 or something and then that’s why We’re seeing a partial rollback and We’re seeing some people come back some People not come back etc because they Kind of like make it more confusing by Releasing everything together at once And maybe it’s also more efficient for Their workflow actually like maybe They’re not trying to play a game maybe It’s just like easier for them to write Out like this you know Um but like i think it shows to people That these are not like oh it’s
Targeting ai content or it’s targeting Bad things or something it’s probably Targeting a lot of things at once um and This partial rollback is kind of like a You know an argument for that at least i Would say But that anyway that’s not what we’re Talking about today today we’re talking Uh about something a little bit lighter Uh i feel like it’s nice to like do a Lighter episode after we’ve done a more Heavy one on updates and so on and that One is going to be still very useful for A lot of people because This was This one So mark is obsessed with me making so This mistake i want people comment every Time gail says this or that the wrong Way around like because i i can you Imagine how much Can you imagine how much more social Engagement we get from this it’s like uh Here we go maybe that incentivizes you To keep doing it and that’s not a good Thing so yeah I’m just making the world a worse place One this at a time you know um Anyway anyway today we’re talking about Our favorite chrome extensions Uh we’ve used i’ve used so many like i Mean i love tools uh mark knows because I subscribe to all of them and then he Comes after me and he tells me to
Unsubscribe from all of the ones i don’t Use um so i i tried a lot probably tried Hundreds at this point uh over My entire marketing career um before we Jump into the uh chrome extensions Though i wanna say i wanna say i don’t Know what i said i wanna say that uh you Should only keep the ones that you’re Actively using on because they use they Tend to use quite a bit more ram and Also they Uh you know people can put tracking Codes in them as well so they can start Tracking you usually people do that to Create retargeting audiences like They’re not really trying to get your Passwords or anything like this Um but that happened it has happened Before that there was kilograms in Extensions i don’t think these ones do But in general it uses computer Resources so if your computer gets hot Generally if your computer gets slow Generally when you’re using your browser Etc there’s a chance that having too Many chrome extensions could be Part of that and so in general it’s good To be kind of like minimal about this And now you have this little puzzle Piece thing and you can click on this Manage extension button and like just Click on the toggles of the ones you’re Actively using right now or not so for Example before i start doing keyword
Research i tend to activate some Extensions and deactivate some like the Ones i use for content for example and Vice versa so that you know you don’t Fight for performances and you don’t Fight for battery life on your computer So i just want to say that because we’re Going to give lots of extensions it Doesn’t mean you should have them all at Once uh unless uh unless you don’t care About this stuff um Should we get started do you wanna do One i do one sure Should i start sure Okay so the first one i’m gonna start With is going to surprise quite a few People It’s going to be uber suggest and the Reason uh the reason i say that is Because uber suggest is from what i’ve Found the extension that gives Most like the most seo data out of most Of them because they give you the Estimated traffic on the search results And so if you are not someone who wants To pay for ahrefs anymore because it’s Like out of your budget or something Like this um you can actually get some Of that data which is pretty accurate it Will suggest came second i think when You need that test on these uh seo tools Right Yes it’s really good data Yeah so you do get sums through the
Interface on the on the tool but you Also get a bunch of data through their Chrome extensions so they give you Search volume cpcs they give you as a Step overlay and they also show you the Traffic of all the pages the domain uh Rate the domain authority not rating so They use the most metrics but it’s still Okay Um and most importantly it’s all free Right so it’s kind of like if you’re Kind of like going for like a A cheap tool like using mangles or Something like that for example then It’s a really good complementary Extension that’s going to give you maybe Better traffic estimates than uh that Main goals would give you for example if You use sub stat or if you use another One so i think it’s a it’s like it’s not Personally i use a traps still at this Point because i say hr is still the best Data but a lot of people are finding Themselves in a situation where they Need another tool because they either Run upgrade of hrefs or they just use Other tools because it’s becoming quite Expensive to be honest so i just wanted To throw that one in it’s decent uh and It’s like uh love him or hate him neil Patel did an okay seo tool especially For the price they charge actually yeah So it’s a common tactic that a lot of The tools we’re going to talk are a lot
Of the extensions we’re going to talk About today They they basically give away some stuff For free in their plug-ins so they get Used to the ecosystem and eventually Upgrade and you know buy a higher higher Tier package But that’s fine because if you just want To use the free data then you can get a Lot of stuff out of uber suggest much More than you can from Ahrefs plugin for example so um yeah Yeah it’s yeah if you were like Stripping my uh you’re stripping like All our tools and i had to start with no Money like i would install that like When i do keyword research i would Install that extension type the keywords And like look at the traffic numbers of The pages when i still evaluate the Keyword because this number is not just For that one keyword it’s for all the Keywords that page ranks for so it gives You an idea it’s a really good way to Evaluate whether it’s worth going after It or not and you can do this for free Now so it’s it’s kind of cool like it’s It’s not as good as href now is Efficient but if you’re getting started Good enough basically um go ahead okay Next one is uh tag tag assistant rather By Google so it’s a very very simple tool Uh extension install it and you can see
What analytics what gtm tags are firing On uh any site and yeah it’s just really Good tool to verify that you’ve set Everything up correctly that the right Um things are are firing and Everything’s working It’s quite interesting as well when you Do some proper Tag manager setup so for example there’s A plugin on wordpress called I mean i think it’s called tag manager By uh tommy something Just called i will put it in the on the Screen easier because i don’t remember Um but it allows you for example to pass On dimensions to your analytics so for Example you can pass on the author you Can Pass on the tags of a post you can pass On all these things and when you’re in Analytics you can Filter for these metrics like you can See the traffic per author you can see The traffic per tag etc allows you to be A little bit more uh slicey dicey with Your With your data um and so that Plugin i mean that extension allows you To actually see that all this stuff is Passing on properly as well and you can Actually dig in and so when you’re doing Like More in-depth stuff like events as well This kind of stuff you can test it with
That so it’s not just like oh my antics Is installed or something like when you Go to the next level of analytics when You do it properly um it becomes more Useful even i would say yeah i know the Guys over at uh measure school um Suggest this is like the first thing to Do when you’re you’re getting started With all this and they use it regularly To Verify that um everything they’re doing Is still working It’s just like it’s nicer to check that Than like than going through the Interface and actually i want to take Another plugin that’s kind of similar in That aspect and that’s the google Analytics page analytics plugin Extension i call them plugin but the Extension case Um and that one is interesting as well Because it shows you your google Analytics basic data so you can see the Visits to a page the bounce rate etc While you visit your website so it’s Just going to pop like a ribbon on top It’s going to show you the stats and Then you can click on the button and Open the stats for that page directly in Analytics if you want to dig deeper But again You know google analytics can be Intimidating for people a lot of people Don’t use it correctly i mean from our
Days in agencies i still remember Jumping on the call with clients and They just showed me look it’s not going Up and right that must be wrong and i’m Like did you actually go into any sub Menu nope that’s like okay um so it’s Like a lot of people are not very good At this This makes google analytics a little bit Less intimidating just know that it’s All traffic not just organic so if you Get traffic from social if you get Traffic on email etc you will see it in These graphs but if you actually open it In analytics and then you just filter Traffic source then you can see your Organic traffic for example so Uh it is a cool it’s a cool plugin as Well like really when i’m kind of like I like to like take the pulse of our Websites with this you know it’s like i Kind of like go around our main pages i Just have them bookmarked and i just Click on them it loads the data and i Can just dig deeper or if there was some Sudden changes or something uh it’s it’s One of the ways and one of the Extensions are quite like using actually So that’s it the next one is and i’m not Sure i’m pronouncing this correctly Aimer path redirect extension and Basically if you’re getting redirected Through 301 302 or whatever It will
Track all of the In intermediate redirects and see And see uh where you’ve kind of been Been passed to Uh it’s useful to just to see like kind Of like what’s what’s going on but I remember it was a year or two ago you Posted this video where You could sort of like Backwards backwards analyze Um The what was it again The affiliate links so you throw so a Lot of sites they have slash recommend Something for example like they they Click the affiliate links and so you Throw it in there and usually you get Sent to a tracking domain but sometimes That tracking that domain redirects you As well right so you want the domain That’s like sending in the middle Because if you throw that one in like Eight trips for example you find all the Sites promoting the affiliate offer for Example right uh and you can find like You can find a lot of like hidden things So for example Very often i’m able to find networks of Websites that way because yeah i can Also see like what what sandwich Tracking domains they use in between for These and i’m able to like if they use Like another layer of tracking with Their own custom tracking domains for
Example and you can find all the like You check that domain you check all the Sites that link to it and you find all The websites that belong to that person Or like that network or that company and Then you can kind of backward engineers That whole top high level affiliate Structure rather than just like on a Single site level so it’s it’s quite Powerful um Basically allows you to see like what People don’t want you to see it’s it’s It’s quite interesting and uh and again If you throw any affiliate link inside Ahrefs you can find Any website that will promote it and It’s like i think that’s one of our most Popular youtube videos actually Um so so you can find some of that with That extension you don’t necessarily Need the extension though it’s like it’s One of these things where it’s like Um it’s useful but like again i would Probably use it like you know one day of The year or two days of the year when I’m really doing that research um there Are websites that do that as well if you Search for like a redirect analyzer for Example um you can just throw links in There and then not install an extra Extension so it’s it’s okay if you’re Really doing it that day it’s fine if You want to walk through extensions um Some of these extensions i have don’t
Worry they are the same so it’s not just Criticism towards you but like yeah well That’s one of these things where you Want to balance what you install as an Extension and what you use at the Website that is not a permanent resource Drag on your computer actually Um okay Anything else on this one no So the next one is going to be a keyword Server by software seo again this is Free you don’t have to be a subscriber Or surfer and they give you some like Classic seo data a little bit like uber Suggest like i mentioned earlier but They also do Uh Article uh briefs basically they give You the top headlines of the people that Rank all in like one brief and you’re Able to like Essentially create article outlines a Little bit faster it’s it’s a very toned Down version of their paid tool but Again if you wanted a tool that helps You Outline your content save a little bit Of time uh without having to pay for any On-page tool then that is an extension That i would recommend you check out i Think they give you some ai stuff in There as well but i’m not sure i would Use the ai content from sofa let’s be Honest uh i know they i know they try to
Market it but um but that’s i don’t Think it’s very good uh however the Headlines that they give you are quite Handy it can save you quite a bit of Time because it analyzes like the top 10 Results and so on for you so if you want An extension that does that you can use That one actually Okay the next one is the Hunter or email hunter uh Chrome extension so Hunter offer a everyone knows what Hunter is Use a tool where you can put in any Domain and find out all the email Addresses associated with it so they Have a chrome extension which just makes That process a little bit easier again Rather than having to go to the site put It in it’s just there so when you’re Browsing around perhaps you’re doing Some prospecting you can just click the Button And it sort of highlights if it’s fine And email any email addresses for that Domain click the button and you can you Can pull out any emails it finds and you Can use that for link building or Whatever other purposes you you want to Get in touch The free Plan has 25 searches at the moment they Reduced that from 50 um I think last year but as 25 free ones at
The moment which you can you can use per Month so it’s not bad you know if you’re Doing any kind of serious link building You’ll need a bigger plan but uh yeah It’s it’s good for a free tool um Especially if you’re just getting Started or especially if you’re doing Kind of very high targeted like sniper Type outreach as well yeah i think it’s Small for that it’s like when you’re not Spamming a lot of sites but rather You’re just browsing the web you’re like I really like to get in touch with these People yeah click the button get the Email and for that it’s enough to be Honest Situations like outside link building so You come across a website and maybe you Want to like buy it or offer it or you Know do some kind of different collab You know stuff you’re not doing every Day uh if you just want to use that 25 Um 25 credits you can stay on the free plan And yeah it’s worthwhile Yeah i mean again like you know these Companies they want to upsell you but i Think there’s still lots of value to get For free if you kind of add up all these Things that you never got this much for Free in the past let’s just say that Like um so it’s like well some stuff is More expensive there’s also a lot of Free stuff and talking about uh hunt
Earning building etc i wanted to talk About a very old chrome extension i Remember it from when i just started seo Uh called broken link checker and that’s A very Simple extension that will crawl the Page you’re on and find broken links but The reason i talk about this for link Building is because If you want to start a conversation with Someone the most innocent way to do it Is just be like hey i found a i found a Broken link on your site is this the Right email and it’s like you can just Report like you can just click on that Extension and always find a broken link On their website um so it’s like don’t Ask for anything just be like hey here’s A broken link then wait a week then Email them i think that’s how we do it These days broken building or something Um but like that’s kind of not i’m not Not convinced like uh i mean if you’re Just trying to like start a conversation With them yeah it’s not like to scale Link building it’s not like it’s not Like oh build a hundred links a month Type thing it’s more like it’s an easy Way to if you have no other way to start A conversation that’s one way All right next one is called dimensions And when you click on the Little icon in your toolbar A little kind of cross comes up and you
Can move it around and whatever element It’s over if it’s for example in a box Uh the lines in that cross will extend Until it hits like a different color Pixel like a line or a border And then it will calculate the Dimensions of an area that you’ve Selected which is really good if you’ve For example forgotten the size of one Button and you need to create another One or for image Alignment or whatever else you want to Do kind of design wise or in gutenberg Especially it can be quite useful for For just getting a feel for for the size Of everything Um so very simple tool ver uh totally Free and yeah i would uh i’d recommend It mark is uh mark is a tyrant extension He knows nothing about design but the One thing he knows is using the Extension i know nothing about design But i i know when stuff is not aligned So we i can’t begin to tell you the Amount of arguments and time we have We’ve had over the On if you go to the authority hacker Homepage uh there’s a we’re featured in Section with like four logos the Discussions we’ve had it’s still not Perfect it’s far from it actually Um we we kind of go into a pretty big Argument about it and we’re like okay we Just need to get the site out and we’ll
Fix this this later but yeah so never Exactly Yeah Uh okay well yeah so if you want to be a Tyron just install that extension it’s a Good one um another thing i wanted to Talk about which one which is going to Be like sounding very boring and very Classic and that’s the bitly Chrome extension so bitly is a link Shortener google used to have one but They shut it down actually i used to use The google one long long time ago um but Bitly is still around but i don’t really Use it because i love shortening links So it’s like i don’t care that much but What i know is that you know i talked About advanced analytics earlier right How we like track goals and events and Everything and one thing that you want To do is like you know every time we Share links on social media like we do Advertising for example etc We do want to know where that traffic is Coming from so when we’re doing like Conversion tracking and so on we can Attribute this back to the original Share whatever identify that and do more Of it right so we know what actually Drove a conversion or a sale or Something and so What bitly and so the way you do this is You actually add utm parameters to the Urls you share normally so you add like
You’ve probably seen this around before Question mark utm equals and you put Like campaign you put content etc and You put equal equal equal and you put Some stuff like twitter and whatever And so that allows you to see this data Inside google analytics and then you can Attribute it back to your conversions The problem is it’s freaking annoying to Do these links and to just like tag Everything you do all the time But whenever you go back to analytics And we try to understand what actually Worked and didn’t work when you didn’t Do it properly you’re going to solely Regret it and that’s why i like this Extension because this extension allows Me to quickly add these utm parameters To any url i share without having to go To another tool or something like this i Just click the button it takes the url I’m on i can add like you know Newsletter Uh email and then whatever like new Something like the name of the Newsletter for example create the link And bam all my parameters are here when We go and check our conversion reports We know exactly which campaigns actually Made us money which ones were flop let’s Do more of those that made money let’s Make more money that’s basically it so That’s a free extension that is kind of Wasted in my opinion it seems bitly
Really won the uh link shortener or wars Then uh now that even google gets really Nobody else right it’s like you don’t Even have to pay for it right it’s like I mean you can pay for it and like get a Custom domain right if we’re like not as Cheap as we are we’ll get like the ahc R dot Co or something and then like we just Like make our custom shortened links or Something But we i use the free version and it’s Completely fine to be honest All right so the next one is called what Font so if you’ve ever seen a website And Said oh that looks like a very nice font I wonder what it is get this plug in and It’ll tell you simple not only that it Tells you how Big the font is and uh what the like if It’s bold if it’s thin et cetera which Which is useful which is useful if you Are the type of person who just randomly Bolds stuff uh every every now and then For no apparent reason um and then you End up with a font which doesn’t quite Look the same when it’s bold and it’s Not bald and then someone changes it and Yeah you get into all sorts it’s not Just that it’s like if you’re trying to Replicate the feel of a page like very Often when you design a website you have Like a website like two or three
Websites have reference you’re gonna Look at and look at for inspiration Right and Very often good designers use typography To really create a strong design like The the Contrast between like how bold the title Is to how thin the normal body font is Etcetera matters right If you use the same fonts it’s just not Going to feel the same but quite often You can also do the same effect with Different phones etc so it’s like it’s Quite nice to just quickly be able to Understand that and just replicate that When you build your site so overall it’s Like Whenever you’re building landing pages Whenever you’re designing sites etc it’s A decent Uh It’s a it’s a decent extension to use i Use it quite often as well actually Um my next one talking about letters and Stuff i’m gonna talk about uh grammarly I use the premium version it’s really Good uh as a non-native speaker it fixes All my decent nut issues which uh Makes mark uh probably extend mark’s Life by a few years easily um so it’s It’s kind of aussie in that aspect Um but what it does is it it doesn’t Just fix your style it actually i mean Doesn’t just fix your
Spelling but it actually fixes your Style as well if you’re writing lengthy Sentences with tons of commas etc like i Used to do for a long time it’s going to Fix it for you but not only does it fix Your content but if you’re actually Paying attention to what it does you can Identify your mistakes and actually Become a better writer um and eventually Um you know not need it as much and and For everything you do be a better writer So I quite like it uh we are actually Running an seo test right now you know In the previous episode i talked about Ico tests We’re trying different levels on Grammarly you know like grammarly gives You an overall score for a piece of Content when you use it that’s not on The extension that part it’s on the web App um and we’re trying like oh what if We only publish content that’s 95 and Above what if we go to 99 et cetera in Terms of scoring on there on grammarly Does it make a difference does it not Make a difference does google care about It and i think they do a little bit so i Think Overall Your site will have more commonalities With high quality sites if you have a Good column grammarly then you don’t so It could be a very very indirect ranking
Factor but i emphasize the code here it Doesn’t mean it is it could be but the Closer you are to good size the closer The more likely you are to rank so yeah All right the next one is called link Clump and it allows you to drag a box Over a group of links on any page And then it will automatically identify That those are links select them and Then you can control what you do with Either Open all of them in new tabs you can Copy it to the clipboard You can filter if there’s certain words Filter out certain links and just kind Of manipulate things a lot so for any Kind of link prospecting especially if You’re trying to scrape uh serp results Uh very very useful tool indeed and i’m Gonna go on to the the next one straight Away as well uh because it’s so so Similar it’s called export tabs So if you’re For example you’re doing some Prospecting and you’re opening a bunch Of sites uh then you close the ones you Don’t want to contact so you’ve still Got like let’s say 15 or 20 tabs open And you want to get all of those urls And say you’re going to put it in a Spreadsheet or exam or or whatever If you use the export tabs plugin it’s Going to give you a list so it’ll pop Out text box it’s going to give you a
List of all the tabs you’ve got open it Will include the title but you can turn That off so you just end up with a url List and then you can search a text area You can just copy and paste that into Your prospecting sheet or Whatever else you’re doing with with Link building but really useful tool and They the both of these kind of go hand In hand Yeah My next one is wapa laser i like the Name actually it’s Uh it’s pretty cool but why it does is Actually even cooler than the name it Act it uh It’s an extension that you can click When you visit any website and you’ll Find All the tools technologies etc they are Using in just one click so you know it’s Going to get the basics like they’re Using wordpress whatever but it’s also Going to tell you You know uh the what wordpress team They’re using what wordpress plugins They’re using et cetera if i use it on Um On a atari hacker for example i can see We’re using uh opt-in monster i see We’re using cloudflare it did find that We are using nitro pack as well for Example for page feed um and it shows Quite a lot of tools and if you want to
Discover new tools if the site is doing Something cool or if they are like a Fast site for example you want to Improve your page speed it’s a really Cool place to be like okay how are these Really fast sites doing this what are They using for caching what the version Of php are they using etc so i quite Like it there’s really no point paying For it kind of as well like that’s one Of those that’s like not a premium but An actual You know full product Uh and i really like it so i would Recommend you use that if you want to Discover new tools i know a lot of People like tools if you’re listening to That podcast obviously you like to you Love tools i want to find more uh Install that extension This This off Okay See another six months of mark’s life Again so All right go for the next one Uh i haven’t used it so and because mark Didn’t add more to the list i’m just Gonna do the next ones as well uh the Next one that i’m gonna recommend is the Headline studio by co-schedule um so That was also a standalone tool but now It’s actually available As a chrome extension it’s actually its
Own standalone tool as well now you Don’t have to it’s outside of course Schedule but i’m not i’m not sure i Would pay a ton of money for just a Headline analyzer unless you have a Really really big site But the free version is good enough so You can write the headline you are Thinking of using for example when You’re writing your og tags for social Sharing And it’s going to score it so it’s going To give you a score between 0 and 100 It’s going to tell you the kind of words That you’re missing the kind of words You’re using too much if it’s too long If it’s too short etc and you can just Type another version based on that Feedback is gonna score it again Do it five times take the one that has The highest score and you will get Overall a little bit more click through Rate on your headlines and so on it’s a Good thing when you’re writing um Sales pages landing pages as well if You’re doing like not just seo but Actual marketing stuff uh subject lines For emails that kind of stuff uh you can Use that tool and it’s going to help you Do a better job basically without too Much work so i recommend use it uh the Usually the problem with school schedule Is like all their tools are like full Like super aggressive pop-ups and
Everything and trying to upsell you on On them so it’s a little annoying on That side i’m not gonna i’m not gonna Hide it but It’s still a useful tool and it’s pretty Well done it’s also just worth Remembering that with co-schedules their Headline analyzer it’s it it’s one of These things like the map is not the Territory um it just Just by making something that has a Higher score on according to their Metric Doesn’t mean it’s going to be a better Headline necessarily i mean it’s Generally it it is but It’s not something that’s worth Obsessing over yeah i agree it’s still a Useful tool i would still i’m still Using it The next one i’m gonna mention is going To be for all the ai Fans of the chat basically if you love Uh ai writing tools but you’re like well I wish i could just have it anytime i Write anywhere on the internet well this Extension does exactly that it’s called Watun it gives you it doesn’t really Write for you but rather it rewrites for You so if i Write a mistake like it just If i write anything i can then highlight It it’s going to give me like three to Five versions of basically better
Written higher higher engagement version Of what i said uh which is very handy Especially if you’re a non-native Speaker on like social media for example Or if you Even when you’re writing web pages like You’re writing your call to actions for Example it’s kind of handy to to use That uh they give you 20 rewrites per Day which is i think You know it’s not going to write Articles for you but as a utility in Your browser it’s probably good enough So you don’t really have to pay for it Provided you you have enough of that Uh and i quite like it have you been Using that for your uh recent twitter Threads then or um a little bit but not As much to be honest mostly because i Write directly in twitter it’s not it’s Not i’m not on i have an app for twitter I don’t have a uh i don’t do it in Browser um but if i if it wasn’t maybe i Should do in browser actually now that You say that um but yeah it’s like when I write emails for example things like That i actually use it um it’s quite Handy the next one is going to be Similar web similar site extension uh And that one is probably for the people Who kind of like skip on hfs as well These days because Ahrefs has a similar functionality where When you go on the site you click on
This extension it’s going to give you All the similar websites to it so if You’re going to totally hacker you get You know niche process smart digity and Everyone income school and so on you Know it’s like it’s going to find All the similar competitors and it’s Quite handy when you’re doing uh q Research like Competitor research because you know you Take these computers then you look at All the keywords they rank for then you Look at their competitors then you get All the keywords they rank for and Eventually you map all the qrs in your Industry and so that extension can make It significantly faster if you use that Together with like the free version of Uber suggest etc like you can do keyword Research for very cheap it’s just like a Lot more cumbersome than if you use a Tool like ahrefs Um you you pay for the convenience Really but that data is is really quite Handy actually uh so i quite like it uh The next one a lot of people know about This it’s buffer so buffer it’s like it Hi it’s a free social media you Have provided you only have like three Profiles and 20 that you 20 posts that You can queue on the free version but to Be honest if you’re casually social Media sharing it’s plenty uh so again i Like i like the idea that everything’s
Free in this list basically um so it’s Pretty it’s like it’s pretty much the Best free social sharing tool that i Found out there that works quite Seamlessly works on your phone as well And everywhere so highly recommend it But you know what your social media Schedule is Um I think that’s it actually let’s do this Inspect element thing Okay Okay that’s the bonus thing or whatever So that’s pretty much it for the actual Extensions but i think a lot of people Don’t even know how to use chrome Properly i just wanted to take two Seconds to tell you that you should Really learn how to use the options that When you right click anywhere you click On inspect it opens that big menu on the Right where you see the html code the Css etc there is a lot of things you can Do there like capturing colors of Elements like uh finding the size of Elements as well like how wide should Your images be when you upload on your Site if you don’t know that if you right Click in your content area and you Scroll down all the way At the bottom css section you will Actually find how big your container is How wide it is and you know exactly the Right size to make your images to get
Better page speed for example and you Don’t need an extension for that you can Just use the Options in chrome you can also find Fonts as well you can even edit pages And uh like you you can write in the Code on the right and it edits the page Actually a lot of people who do fake Screenshots of seo a lot of people do That you know to like sell sell stuff Etc uh they do that they go in this Thing they change the number and they Charge they put like five million Visitors and they take a screenshot it Looks like the original interface of Ahrefs and then just be like oh my god You should buy my whatever i’m selling My tool or something uh to to do that so It’s like you can actually but that’s Quite handy not to scam people but Rather to visually change the website That you want to like do something that You want to change and usually i take a Screenshot show it to my dev and then The dev does it for me it’s kind of like Much easier visually to show to devs What you want Rather than Uh describing it with words which tends To lead to confusion you don’t always Get what you want etc so In general i want to say like chrome Itself is really powerful in terms of Dev tools and you should really learn
How to use all of these you can run your Vitals tests on it as well if you go in The lighthouse section for example You can run the full tester you don’t Need to go to another app and so on uh The console will show you all the errors That you have on your site what did not Load and so on be a little bit careful Because some of these errors might be Due to your chrome extensions it might Not so uh when you check the console Check it in incognito without extensions And this way you’ll be able to tell what Resources are not loading properly and So on and this could be issues with your Page speed and so on so overall Extensions are great but i think Learning how to use chrome as well is Something that a lot of seo should Do do you want to add something to that Mark No Okay Uh okay any final rules of wisdom then No no No if i was always done well okay well Then thank you for joining guys we hope You picked up at least one or two cool Extensions from this podcast And we’ll see you again in two weeks for Another episode bye [Music] [Music] You
