    I like seoquake although sometines you get annoyed with it slowing down the loading of your pages.

  2. Michael says:

    Hmm. I can see how linking directly to the plugins can be more user-friendly — that is, if I already know what they do. Otherwise, why would I download an app I know nothing about or even if I really need or want it?

    Links to the original page describing each would be more helpful. Thanks.

    another quality contender is SEOQuake. I found this toolbar to be the best SEO offering for Firefox out of the many I’ve tried.

  4. Hawaii SEO says:

    I’ll vote for SeoQuake as well. That would be my #1 pick as well.

    Hi Loren,
    Some of those links seem to be broken.

    I only use:
    # Firebug
    # Page Saver
    # Search Status

    All other SEO work I use online tools/software

    I use:

    Search Status:

    SEO for Firefox

    And (of course) Greasemonkey with some great scripts for analytics and webmaster central:

    Great Post,

    if only they worked with FF 3+ it would be very nice. Oh well 3 out of 8 isn’t a bad start ;)

    Mark.

  13. Mark Asciak says:

    P.S. A vote for “Alexa Sparky” which is a neat little FF addon showing Alexa Rank and a nice visual for traffic volumes/trends.

    Mark.

  14. Some of this extensions seems to be outdated :(

    I like Shareaholic for tweeting your own articles or others info at just a click of the button in browser tools.

  22. Amol Patil says:

    I will vote for SEOquake first than any other addons. It’s the best IMO. Also wonder why didn’t anyone mentioned No-Follow addon!

  23. Azad Shaikh says:

    East or West SeoQuake is the best. Love using it.

    why seoquake addons not in the list? for me, it is much better than seo for firefox

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3036

  25. seo says:

    I’m also an SEOquake user.

    but I want to try those add-ons.

    there’s no harm in trying, right? Ü

  26. Rick says:

    A good list, but I’ve recently switched from SearchStatus to SEO Profesional Toolbar, a new toolbar which records ranks and links in a graph. Not bad at all, try it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/49038/

  27. Generally I used SEOquake, but after read your post, I am just thinking to change my addon.
