This post is pretty much related to my last post on SEOmoz Page Strength tool. I stumbled upon this shortly after making that post.
SeoQuake is a great Firefox (v1.5 and higher) Add-On / Extension which displays a summary of a large number of Site Parameters (in search results of Google, Yahoo, MSN, Yandex, Rambler etc.) on-the-fly, for every page you visit.
Following installation, it appears as this clickable icon in the status bar of Firefox. Left-clicking it alternately enables/disables the extension.
The SE information displayed in the SEOBar include…
- Page Rank
- Search Engine Indexes
- Number of pages cached in popular Search Engines
- Number of incoming links to the site
- Link Domains
- Alexa Ranking
- Age of the site (from Internet Archives)
- IP of the site
- WhoIs information
- Robots.txt
- Keyword density etc.
However, SEOBar isn’t another browser toolbar cluttering up & reducing your browser’s page viewing area. It’s a cleverly designed transparent HTML block that normally appears minimised on upper-left corner of every page you load. Clicking on the maximise icon expands the bar displaying all the parameters. All the information displayed is in a short summarised format and individual items can be clicked on for detailed results through the corresponding Search Engine.
You are free to choose which all search engines to include the results from (among the given ones) and which all results/parameters to display.
The SE Parameter display isn’t limited to the SEOBar – when you perform a search on any of the popular search engines, similar parameters are displayed along with every search result returned.
All in all it’s a really handy tool for any webmaster and combined with SEOmoz can give you clear pointers as to how to increase your site’s visibility & rank.
Sounds like the SEOpen extension with less features and put into a bar instead of the contextual menu
