Persona can be used by anyone that wants to safely operate an alternative online persona and reduce the risk of it being linked back to their real accounts and identity.
What most people do not reaslize is that its their computer or device that is automatically providing the online service providers with the information that links their different accounts and enables them to identify duplicate or fake profiles.
Persona addresses this by allowing you to create and easily manage multiple profiles and accounts, while keeping each quarantined from the others.
It also allows the accounts to appear to be in different locations using different devices (PC, Mac, Linux, Tablet, smartphone etc).

Change your LocationYour IP address shows your location. Persona allows each new persona to have a different location using automatic proxy switching which gives each a new IP address to match the location of the new persona.

To make your multiple personas more credible, and reduce the chance of your different accounts being linked, they need to appear to be on different devices. Persona also provides User Agent Switching which simply means that each persona can pretend to be using different devices, operating systems and browsers.

Its been accepted in the industry for a very long time that Click Through Rate (CTR) is an important factor in your search engine rankings. Its now official with with the recent announcement by Paul Haahe from Google.
This article from SEO PLUS in the UK provides a very good overview of CTR and how it works, and evan more importunity how to improve it. This great for those that want to really tweak their SEO.
Getting a high CTR in itself is not good unless you have compelling content to keep the client on your website, otherwise another google ranking factor will kick in called your bounce rate. This measures how long they are on your website and if the “bounce” off quickly this is a red light to Google that your content is irrelevant or poor.
If we think of SEO as being like an engine of a car, then this is part of the tuning process. The reality is that most with most people their engine is not even running or barely running so trying to tune the engine is pointless. You need to have the basics in place before you start working on more advanced stuff. If you want to increase your ranking by improving the organic click through rate (CTR) then read this great article

These might be provided as shareware or freeware and offer to perform some useful function. Most shareware and freeware is safe.
