SEO professionals and Web masters are forever searching for extra data about websites, links, their competitor website data and more to stay ahead. Many SEO professionals today are using the Mozilla /Firefox web browser and have installed the “SEO for Firefox” extension (from Aaron Wall of SEObook.com) as they find it to be quite useful while doing their basic SEO search work. Though there are many free online SEO tools that we can use instantly, most of the good ones now require a subscription/password. Of course professional SEOs have access to hundreds of SEO tools but the process can often take more time than we may have. With the “SEO for Firefox” type of extension we can easily get the required information directly on Google and Yahoo even as we browse the web. So for some really quick basic information this one is often good enough.
After installing this “SEO for Firefox” extension a cute SEO icon appears on the browser’s statusbar. Almost 15 parameters are available as a default. These are, Page Rank, Age, Links (Yahoo! linkdomain), .edu Links (Yahoo! .edu linkdomain), .edu Page Links (Yahoo! .edu link), .gov Link (Yahoo! .gov linkdomain), Page Links (Yahoo! link), del.icio.us, Technorati, Alexa, Cached, dmoz, Bloglines, dir.yahoo.com, MSN Links, MSN .edu Links, MSN .gov Links, MSN Page Links, MSN .edu Page Links and Whois.
