SEOquake
The SEO Quake toolbar/plugin is available directly from http://www.seoquake.com/.
Installation:
You have a choice of installing the Seobar version or the Seotoolbarversion. I have a couple of minor observations with this which didn’tinstill me with huge amounts of confidence at first glance.
- There was an obvious difference in the look and feel but I didn’t really understand what the benefits were. There is a one-line explanation but it didn’t make sense to me.
- There was a spelling mistake (fickle I know but hey - I’m being honest)
Here I need to select whether I would like the Seobar to displayhorizontally or vertically. I really did want to install the horizontalversion (so I wasn’t losing either content or screen width) but decidedthat I wanted to be able to report on as much of the functionality aspossible so selected the vertical option.
I then had to chose to load the site information on page load or when Iwould like to see it. I decided on the latter so as to only show what Iwant to see when I want to see it.
Wow - even more options (I don’t remember being asked any of this onthe IE install (which might be why I thought it was so poor) - I’llhave to revisit that and see if I missed something.
Here I am showing my plugin configuration, I have selected theseplugins based on the information I am interested in, you will want tocustomize this to your own level of interest. The SEOquake plugins are theninstalled and Firefox restarted.
On reload, I am directed to the SEOQuake changelog and the new menubar appears on the left hand side of the screen.
Here as an image of the SEObar populated after a quick check of the SEOQuake site.
With the great degree of forethought I obviously had when putting together the main HWD website (i.e - it was lucky), the Seobar was nicely off to the left and not obscuring any part of the content (nice!).
I also noticed that when viewing the main search engines, I had a host of (for me, annoying) additional functionality, although there is arguably a clear and massive benefit to having this when comparing search terms and competing sites: Google, Yahoo, MSN.
