SEO Toolbar – Wealth of SEO Tools for Free

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

image Aaron Wall, SEO superstar and owner of www.seobook.com has just released the panacea of SEO tools that adds a wealth of SEO information to your Firefox browser.

Combining the best of breed tools for research and discovery, this is one toolbar you’ll want to add to Firefox if you’re serious about SEO.  I replaced my Google toolbar with this one (the only thing I really used the Google toolbar for was to get a quick glance and a site’s PageRank) and a link to gmail.

The toolbar provides a very robust toolset, but also provides a built-in RSS reader already populated with many popular SEO RSS feeds.

To really get a feel for all this toolbar has to offer, check out Aaron’s site and description of the toolset.  I think you’ll find it a huge timesaver when researching and comparing one site to another, against competitors, etc.  I will post another review of the toolbar and how it’s helped us once I’ve had a week or two to use it and dig into the power it provides.  Thanks Aaron for another great contribution to the SEO community.

Family-Watchdog Internet Safety is an important part of the digital age for anyone that has children old enough to be surfing the internet.  This doesn’t just mean connecting to the internet through the family computer.

There are a multitude of ways to connect to the internet these days, from internet-enabled cell phones, online games, gaming consoles (xbox, xbox360, Wii, PS3, etc).  Additionally, it doesn’t necessarily protect you simply because you have strict rules in your house or you monitor what your children do. 

For example, you might have strict internet usage polices at home, but that doesn’t mean the neighbor’s do as well.  That doesn’t mean your child wont be able to access the internet unrestricted at a friend’s house.  With WiFi hotspots practically everywhere, a child with a laptop can connect virtually anywhere if they exhibit a little persistence.
