FireFox SEO Plugins

[CK]

I was giving someone some plugin links yesterday and thought some people here could benefit from this post

So here are some of the plugins I use and anyone who has any others please post

SEO Quake - Quickly pulls stats on a site, Yahoo/Google/MSN baclinks, age, dmoz listings etc..

Quirk - I love this thing. Shows backlinks, no followed links, pr, alexa, meta tags, sitemap and robots txt. I prefer this one more since its a non intrusive one.

Compete - Obvious what it does but I like having the toolbar in my browser so I can quickly click and receive the info

Google Global - Found this one last night and so stoked over it. It allows you to see search engine rankings in google for other countries. Can narrow it down to city/Zip if you want. But for someone like me in Canada I never get anything remotely accuarate for the US google.com. This gives it to me

Firebug - Allows you to quickly view source and also make changes to the source without having to screw up a page

LinkChecker - Quick tool to find deadlinks. On and off button and once turned on all valid links on a page are highlighted in green and deadlinks highlight in red.

Firebug is hands down the most useful firefox extension that I use. It is SO much easier to figure out where things are at in the code. Especially if you hire or outsource your coding and programming, it can be difficult to know exactly where everything is at. Firebug is key for avoiding that problem.

I just came acrross this Search Cloudlet extension for Firefox, from this article, and i thought i would share:

It displays tags of keywords related to the search on top of the SERP.

These tags are issued from the search results themselves (title, description, URL) and are displayed on a size which depends on the amount of times they appear in the search results themselves.

From another article (in French) i thought i would share some tips on how to use it:

It's quite handy when you make a search on a topic which is still relatively unknown and for which you want to find good keywords. A nice addition to the other keyword suggestion tools.

For better results setup Google to show 50 or 100 results per page.

Great post Kaus,

The Link Checker has been brilliant for me the last day or so.

Here's an addon I tend to use to feed my statistic habit:

Rank Checker - Find out where your website ranks in Google, Yahoo and MSN for your desired keywords.

I would like to add:

Yellowpipe Lynx Veiwer - Allows you to see what site would look like if viewed by Lynx - Presumably is how the bots would see your site.

IE Tab - I love this one - One click and view you site as if it was IE right in Firefox. Caught many CSS rendering issues with this one.
