I have already shared a few nice tools that visualize Wikipedia articles and let you better understand the topic basic structure. I also looked at some awesome Wikipedia tools that will help you discover controversial content and research related topics. This week I am sharing more fun you can have with Wikipedia: 3 experimental FireFox addons that (1) visualize how you browse Wikipedia, (2) graph each Wiki article semantically and (3) show you how much you should trust each article content. 1. Wikipedia

With so much important private information we store at our computers and send to our co-workers, secure browsing is very important. For us, search marketers, there is another benefit of seeing online security flags while we browse: this works as an additional help for SEO diagnostics because security flags can easily be the reason of low rankings. So this post lists four tools that insert security report right within Google SERPs for you to see if there are any issues even before clicking through: Website link Notes Download link LinkExtend Aggregated results Download SiteAdvisor Desktop Download MyWot Registration required Download Browser Defender – Download LinkExtend FireFox

I never grow tired of reviewing more and more tools that expand the possibilities of Google search. I already took a look at tools that allow to see Twitter search results within Google SERPs and a few addons that generate relevant results from other sources (like Wikipedia, Youtube and other ). And here’s one more tool that retrieves search results from more sites: Kikin is the FireFox addon that “enriches and personalizes your browsing and search experience by adding results from your preferred social media websites (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, eBay, etc). Install: Just click “Download”, allow FireFox to show you the pop-up from this site and install the tool. Re-start the browser and you are done. Customize: Go to TOOLS FireFox menus and select “ My kikin “. You’ll be taken to the the kikin website where you will be able to customize your settings. To always see results from sources, select the green button. To only see results when they are relevant to your search, select the yellow button. To never see results from a source, select the red button. Note 1: you will need to allow access to Kikin Facebook application to get the results from Facebook. Note 2: you will also be able to search your Twitter stream if you connect the tool to your Twitter account. Use: Just search for anything that you are interested in and notice a cute box above the Google search results. Click through the tabs to see relevant results from the sources you set up in the options: Warning: The tool won’t work for me when I am using Google toolbar to search. I am not sure why. So if this happens to you, try deleting extra URL parameters in the Google search string appended by the toolbar. Hopefully, this bug will be fixed or clarified. The tool was reviewed under SEJ policy . Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal . Enrich Your Google Search Results Page with
