Google Chrome Add Ons

If you are a little touched in the head you may not have heard that Google had officially entered the browser market with the release of Chrome.  This new browser has been specifically designed to work with the latest javascript web applications, be faster, stronger, and basically able to leap tall buildings better than what was previously available.

But why would I be interested in leaving my tried and true Mozilla FireFox?  As it stands I have a ton of bookmarks, where I know I can find them, a sweet theme, and more add-ons than you can shake a stick at.  For the life of me I can't find any addons currently available for Google Chrome, although since it is open source I'm sure they will come along eventually.  Until I can see at a glance if I have any email, what my adsense revenue is, or what the page rank of a website is I'll be avoiding Chrome and sticking with FireFox.

Further discussion on this new Google Browser Chrome looks like there may be some issues with cookie and affiliate tracking.  The option to go incognito in chrome will keep cookies from remaining on a pertains computer, after they close the window the cookie is lost.  So maybe it's not so important whether I use it, but whether or not I can keep other potential buyers away from it.

SEOQuake For FireFox

If you are like me time is valuable and time spent researching a competitor could be better time spent marketing, fishing, sleeping, whatever. There are tools available to help with this process and SEOQuake is a great add-on for FireFox that helps automate a lot of the leg work and will produce instant data in your browser, simply by surfing to a page.

SeoQuake is a programme, which allows user to view a large number of SE parameters on the fly. SeoQuake for Mozilla Firefox consists of three functional parts: SeoToolbar (requested parameters are shown in a separate toolbar in the browser), Seobar (requested parameters are shown in a separate, fully customizable with CSS, HTML block) and output of requested parameters on Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).

The developers of SEOQuake were bold enough to produce the plugin for IE users as well, which can be downloaded here.

FireFox Colorzilla Addon

For me creating a stylish affiliate landing page is the most time consuming process in my business model, or at least it seems like it. ;) Often I will find a color I want to use on another site, so I need the hexadecimal color code to use in Photoshop or in my CSS style sheet. There is a great addon for FireFox that makes this process a breeze.
