The SEO Toolbar for Firefox

Search engine optimization expert, Aaron Wall, the author of the SEO Book has released a toolbar that puts all kinds of cool internet marketing data right in your Firefox browsers and he’s order this review to generate some buzz for it. If you’re into Internet marketing and making money online, the SEO Toolbar is a must have.

The SEO game is getting extremely complex and requires more effort than ever to keep up with the changes. The idea for Aaron’s SEO Toolbar was to put the best competitive research data and the best SEO research tools at your fingertips for free.

What would happen if you smooshed together many of the best parts of Rank Checker, SEO for Firefox, the best keyword research tools across the web, a feed reader (pre-populated with many SEO feeds), a ton of competitive research tools, the ability to compare up to 5 competing sites against each other, easy data export, and boatloads of other features into 1 handy Firefox extension? Well, you would have the SEO Toolbar.

This SEO Toolbar was designed to make it easier for you to evaluate how strong a competing website is. The toolbar pulls in many useful marketing data points to make it easy for you to get a more holistic view of the competitive landscape right from your browser. In addition to pulling in useful data, the SEO Toolbar also provides links to the data sources so you can dig deeper into the data. Aaron created the following video to show how the SEO Toolbar works.

The SEO Toolbar integrates seamlessly with Firefox. Installation is as simple as any other Firefox plugin. Just click the download link and allow Firefox to install it.

The toolbar runs very fast on my Macbook Pro. When I switched tabs to go to another site, the information on the SEO Toolbar updates almost instantly. It’s a great way to get snap shots on how competing sites are doing compare to your sites.

Aaron has done a great job with this new toolbar. Before, I would have to use a half dozen tools to get all the information I can get from just using the SEO Toolbar. The amount of information offered by the SEO Toolbar is pretty amazing. It can be overwhelming at first and it may take you a few days to get a true sense of the power this toolbar can give you.

The SEO Toolbar is completely free to download and use. The toolbar works only with Firefox so you’ll have to get that if you don’t have it already. If you’re running Firefox, then I recommend you complete it by adding the SEO Toolbar.

Interesting toolbar. I'm going to give this one a shot.

I am downloading it today! I have been looking for something like this for some time now and am pleased to finally run across this post! Thanks a million

This posts helped me a lot. There are many SEO toolbars out there. I was confused, but the post leaded me to the best

I just installed the seobook toolbar.. it totally rocks! I can't wait to start some investigations of my own.

Just I was looking for! I was using the seo quake till now but I will try this as I love the SEO for Firefox plugin from Seo Book. Must have for sure I download it right now thanks for sharing!

That is good tool, John...Thanks for sharing

useful tools.....I will check and install soon.....thanks

I've just watched the video and liked it. The tool is really actual ,I'll try it.

Sweet plugin! Just installed it and messing around with the functions now.

I have been using this for a while and have found it extremely useful!

I've been using it for a while and really like it. This tool and FireBug are two essential add-ons.

This is an excellent tool, just finished watching the video and cannot wait to give it a go, i ll be blogging about this one soon.

Thanks

Thanks for the Tip.. I will try it and then review it on my blog.. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip!

I tried to stumble and digg your post through Google Reader and got an error both times.

Ok, I installed it on my firefox, but I'm not see a toolbar like in video?

I'm only seeing the little SEO button at the bottom right.

The SEO game is getting extremely complex and requires more effort than ever to keep up with the changes.

I wud certainly agree with that. Else how can ur and my blog have the same page rank (3/10) . So far I hve been starting sponsored posts on my blog ' This is a sponsored post ' ... Shud I discontinue doing so to remain in the good books of google?

I currently use it and having this one stop SEO research resource is great thing! thanks for sharing John!

Thanks for the tool john. I hope they keep it free.

Thanks for the link on the tool, I too will give it a go. As of right now, I jump between several sites for checking bits of SEO

I’m using Seo Quake and also. I’m on same boat as yours. Let’s explore this new product.

Sounds very interesting. Only if he could give if for free, it will be a new year bonus.

wow, just installed it and its a pretty powerful tool!

unfortunately the download link is broken. I could not even test the tool.

For some reason, I can not read this blog using Firefox. To read it use google chrome. For the same reason it could not install the SEO Toolbar.
I could install from firefox without problems and is a very useful tool.
John: You can tell me why when I read your blog from firefox automatically closes the browser?

No idea. I use Firefox on my comp all the times. On both PC and Macs and my blog works fine with it. Is my blog the only blog that doesn't work in your Firefox?

Just happens to your blog.
Today I made the following test:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0: do not enter the site. Message: "Die spammer! Die!"

Firefox 3.0.5: do not enter the site and the browser is closed, no matter how many tabs are open

Google Chrome: works without problems.

Do not worry. I will read your blog with chrome.
It may be a problem in my pc.

Having been using seo for firefox, In can definitely see the value in this toolbar.

Thanks John,

Terry

Im going to give this one ago and see if it is better then SEO Quake.

I'm using Seo Quake and also. I'm on same boat as yours. Let's explore this new product.

I think this one is the perfect one and after installing this one, I do not think that I will have to run from one website to another to collect data for my niche.

Let me try this one, I hope this will not slow down my downloading speed.

Sounds really good. Thanks for the highlight.

Seems like Aaron Wall has hit the bullseye again!

Then what about SEO Quake? How different is that?

Hi John,

Thanks for this update. I'm going to install the toolbar now.

What a great tool. Looks like I'll be downloading Firefox and Aaron's SEO toolbar.
Thanks for featuring this.

Just Installed it , still check and see the usefulness !

Just makes you more wary of the blogs around you =)

More wary, more jealous...yea stuff like that :)

that´s a really userfull, is easy to compare websites with that toolbar and see how many links or time have the query domain.

Before this, I used to install every plugin separately but some of them can't be moved and really ate a lot of my browser space. This tool is really neat yet complete. I agree with John that this might be too overwhelming at first, but it's addicting =) I give 10 out of 10.

Same here.

I don't have to carry 8-10 plugins for Firefox anymore. I can just see most of what I want through this.

This is good when trying to beat some othr competitors, it really gives you an edge.

Rank Checker is there too...this deserves a donation.

Very nice! This will allow me to uninstall a few other addons I had - been waiting for someone to make a complete SEO tool like this.

This is a very useful toolbar I just installed it also.
