Firefox Friday – See How Websites Perform With SearchStatus Firefox Extension

Welcome to yet another Firefox Friday!

Fridays are great all on their own BUT they’re even greater with Firefox Friday!

OK, today I’m going to share yet another add-on or extension for Firefox that I hope will prove to be very useful: SearchStatus Firefox Extension.  This extension provides several rankings for any site you visit, inluding but not limited to Google PageRank and Alexa Ranking.  It places them conveniently in the bottom status bar of your Firefox browser.

Why would someone care about a site’s rankings?

Well, if a site is ranking high, it may indicate authority, meaning it may be relied on greatly by many people.  For instance, Yahoo.com‘s Google PageRank is 9/10 and their Alexa Rating is 2 (second to Google.com, I believe).  This may be an indication of reliability and quality of information, etc.

Rankings are also important to advertisers which means that marketers need to keep a close eye on their sites’ (and those of their customers) ratings.

Rankings are also just fun to watch!  With this plugin/add-on/extension, you can check out the rankings of all your favorite sites!

Here’s what it looks like on the status bar:

A right click on the “q” icon will bring you a menu:

As you can see, you have quick and easy to all kinds of information on the site you are visiting, including:

1. Whois (owner info)
2. robots.txt (a file crawlers use)
3. sitemap.xml (the sitemap that crawlers generally use)
4. and much more!

Explore all of the options and see how the SearchStatus Firefox Extension can help you!

Come on back next Friday and we’ll have another Firefox Friday together!
