Pimp Your Browser - SEO Ninja setup
 

Figured I would post my browser set up..... these are killer tools that make research a breeze. Obviously for Firefox.

Sorry I couldnt post clickable links..... post count is under the threshold.

1) ShowIP - addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/590

Show the IP address of the current page in the status bar. It also allows querying custom services by IP (right mouse button) and Hostname (left mouse button), like whois, netcraft. Additionally you can copy the IP address to the clipboard.

2) SEO for Firefox - tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html

This is Aaron Wall's killer tool.

What it does is put research data right into Google's and Yahoo!'s search results, including all of the following.

* PR: (Google PageRank) an estimated measure of global link authority

* Age: age pulled from Archive.org, shows the first time a page was
indexed by Archive.org's spider. The theory is that if Archive.org found a page so did many of the major search engines.

* Links: (Yahoo! linkdomain) shows a rough estimate of the total number of links pointing at a domain

* .edu Link: (Yahoo! .edu linkdomain ) shows a rough estimate of the total number of .edu links pointing at a domain

* .edu Page Link: (Yahoo! .edu link ) shows a rough estimate of the total number of .edu links pointing at a specific page

* .gov Link: (Yahoo! .gov linkdomain ) shows a rough estimate of the total number of .gov links pointing at a domain

* Page Links: (Yahoo! link) shows a rough estimate of the total number of links pointing at a page

* Alexa: rank based on website traffic . Heavily skewed toward internet marketing and webmaster related resources.

* Cached: (Google site:) shows how many pages from a site are indexed in Google

* dmoz: searches the Google Directory to count the total number of pages from a site that are listed in DMOZ, and the total number of pages listed in DMOZ that reference that URL.

* dir.yahoo.com: is a site listed in the Yahoo! Directory or not.

* WhoIs: makes it easy to look up the whois data for any site.

3) Searchstatus - quirk.biz/searchstatus/

This is my fave tool. Its an extension that sits on the taskbar and gives you one click access about information on the page being used including....

Pagerank
Alexa rating
Shows Alexa data like traffic details, inbound links and contact info
Shows indexed pages in Google Yahoo and MSN (live)
Shows backward links in Google and Yahoo (page and domain)
Show the page as text
Show the google cache
Highlight all nofollow links on the page
Show all links on the page
Shows the meta tags of the page
Shows the page in archive.org
Shows whois of the domain
Shows robots.txt
Shows keyword density
Highlights the keyword

4) Webdeveloper - chrispederick.com/work/web-developer

Very slick toolbar with a ton of features most of which are not SEO related. Features that I do use frequently include one click funtionality of the following:

Disable Java
Disable Javascript
Disable meta redirects
Disable referrers
View css
View Javascript
View response headers
View source
