Why Use An SEO Add-on?
Adding SEO tools to your browser makes using SEO on your freelancing projects and your blog even easier. You don’t have to remember where to find a particular online tool. Your SEO tools can be integrated with your browser.
As we explained in an earlier post, search engine optimization is important to freelancers because it can help clients and perspective clients find you online through popular search engines.
If you design or develop web pages or if you write web content, using SEO techniques for your clients can also help set you apart from other freelancers in your field.
What About You?
We’ve shared 25 SEO Firefox add-ons, but as SEO add-ons go–these are just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens more available.
Do you use SEO add-ons for Firefox? Have you used any of the tools in the list above? What are your favorite ones? If you could only use one Firefox SEO tool, which one would it be?

September 8th, 2010 at 11:20 amWould be nice to hear which one you think is worth installing, as they are all same meat, different gravy in my mind ;-)

September 8th, 2010 at 11:38 amHey Laura Spencer,
Thanks for providing such an SEO informative tools list. I really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks,
Dan
Jonathan
September 8th, 2010 at 11:42 am@Datamouse
Agreed, a summary of which one is best, or even a review of the best 3 would be much more helpful. I’ve tried quite a few over the years, including many on this list, and they often have problems which outweigh their usefulness.
@Laura, I don’t want to be picky, but the post title made me wonder – “How can you have an add-on that’s free of SEO” – I think you meant “25 Free SEO Add-ons”
Then again, maybe not a bad way to grab traffic – create a title that makes people wonder what’s inside – any marketers tried that before?
Laura Spencer
September 8th, 2010 at 1:37 pmThanks everyone!
Jonathan, you caught me. :) I fixed the title so it makes more sense.

September 9th, 2010 at 7:30 amI agree, you can’t install 25 plugins so check SEO. So which one is best, that’s much more interesting…
George
September 9th, 2010 at 7:37 amThese are really nice SEO add-ons. Nice list you got here, and thanks for sharing these, i’ll definitely use it to help on my campaign. Good Luck to your further posts.

September 9th, 2010 at 10:39 amI downloaded SEO Doctor but can’t seem to find where it’s downloaded itself to. Any pointers?
Laura Spencer
September 9th, 2010 at 11:33 amFreelance FactFile,
When I installed the SEO Doctor I was prompted to restart Firefox. After I restarted, the SEO Doctor icon, which is a green flag, displayed in the far right of the URL field. When you hover your mouse over the green flag information about the page you are viewing displays.
I hope this helped. :)
Freelance FactFile
September 9th, 2010 at 11:44 amThanks a lot, Laura. I see the green flag now!

I do not know if I can do SEO by myself and I graduated from Universiry, english is ok but I do not know much on IT technology beside office software.
It is possible to do it by myself instead of employee anybody to do it.

March 22nd, 2011 at 8:36 amВ интернете громадное число разнообразной информации, и если бы не поисковик, то, наверняка, вы толком никогда не в силах бы найти то, что вам необходимо. Главная задача раскручивания проекта состоит в фиксации в google, яндекс, чтобы люди, вводя ключевые фразы, соответствующие описанию Вашего сайта в строке запроса, могли легко его отыскать. Но не все так хорошо, ведь стопудово на Вашу тему уже много ресурсов в выдаче. Если вы попросту зарегистрировали свой ресурс, не проделав с ним важных “операций” заранее, то знайте, что Вы выполнили обычную формальность и о каком-либо трафике посетителей с поисковиков можете и не вспоминать. Люди должны посещать Ваш проект, если ресурс будет правильно настроен. Оптимизация-так обозначается процесс подстройки под ключевые слова. Бесспорно, среди русского интернета самым популярным поисковиком остается яндекс. Яндекс имеет очень хороший шустрый поисковый робот. Ваш сайт очень шустро попадет в поиск, если вы зарегистрируете его в yandex. Но лишь только сайт будет просканирован целиком, не факт, что он останется в результатах выдачи навсегда, потому что робот может принять ее как неуникальную. Чтоб яндекс посчитал Ваш проект белым, необходимо обязательно наполнять его уникальным материалом. http://oldmedik.ru/

I actually do have some questions for you if it’s okay. Is it only me or do some of these comments appear like they are coming from brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional places, I’d like to follow you.
Could you make a list of all of all your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
