INTERNET MARKETING

I created a wordpress blog and have installed some plugins. I used to use WP Secure for securing the blog, but I seen 'bulletproof security' had a better rating. What are your experiences with these two plugins? My blog is on a main root domain (www.domain.com) so I am wondering do I need to do anything to set up bulletproof security? I noticed it has a section where you can 'activate' settings.

Also, I seen Akismet is no longer free. I already have an API key for another blog, am I able use the same key for my new blog? Or do I need to purchase a new one?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know about "bulletproof security" but regarding your
Akismet question - the answer is yes.

WP Secure will do the job just as fine ... i been using it on all my blogs and i haven't had any problems....just make sure you update WP and other plugins regularly and you'll be safe...as for Akismet you can use the same api key... hope this helps

Same key for Akismet will work, yes. I just re-used mine again yesterday, aamof.

They are a paid plug-in now?

  Thanks everyone! I will just use WP secure then as it is much easier to use and more than likely just as good. Will be using the API I already have for another blog. Thanks!
  
  Thanks

The instructions to set up Bulletproof Security plugin are a perfect example of how to write something that is like 4000 words long and make the reader more confused than he was before reading them.
