Internet Marketer’s Dream: 8 Productivity Tips for Firefox Browser Users

Here are 8 productivity tips specifically for Mozilla Firefox users when the requirement is “simply a browser”.

1) SearchStatus. Set yourself up so that you’ll know everything you need to know about your sites and your competitors. It displays the Google PageRank, Alexa rank and complete ranking anywhere in your browser, along with fast keyword density analyzer, keyword and nofollow highlighting, backward and related links, other Alexa info and SEO tools. This tip alone could save your hours of “look up” time.

2) Alexa Sparky. Other immediate, in-depth competitor analysis can be had when you install Sparky. Sparky is a free FireFox browser plug-in built by Alexa, that accompanies you as you surf, providing useful information about the sites you visit without interrupting your Web browsing. Specifically:

- Learn about Website Traffic Trend information. Is this site getting more popular, or less popular?

- Get detailed traffic information including Reach and Rank. How does this site’s traffic compare to other sites on the Web?

- Surf more efficiently with Related Links for each page. If I like this site, are there others that I might want to visit?

Plus surfing your own sites with this plug-in activated helps improve your Alexa score!

3) Google Global Firefox Extension. Learn to view Google results by country. This plug-in tells you everything you need to know about your competition in other countries. Ever want to see what people in other countries are seeing for a particular search in Google? For example, let’s say you are based in the USA and you want to know what people in the Canada are searching for.

If you travel to another country, your default Google search page is usually that country’s top level domain (i.e. Google.it if in Italy ). The same tool can be used when traveling overseas to view Google results of your home country.

4) Browser Window Resizer. View the way your advertisers and clients see your site. You may have a massive flat panel monitor but what are you displaying in 1024×768 mode? First, check your web logs and analyze the majority of viewers’ video resolution. Chances are it’s 1024×768.

The Browser Window Resizer is also useful tool for testing different screen sizes. It accurately resizes your browser so you can view if the web page looks right in all of the standard resolution sizes. Window resizer supports the 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 video modes.

As far as your advertisers are concerned, there are 2 important reasons:

- Your right column may not be properly displayed without the viewer scrolling the horizontal bar.

- If you advertise or publish banner ads “above the fold”, make sure it’s visible to the highest amount of readers.

5) FireFTP. Use it to upload files fast, free, anywhere. FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers. Very handy if you are traveling and don’t have your local FTP software on your PC or laptop!

6) Pick up exactly where you left off. Simply open all your tabs from last session, automatically. You don’t even need a tool. It is a setting to have all your open web pages restored each time you restart Firefox.

Go to Tools, Options, Startup box. When Firefox starts, select “Show my windows and tabs from last time”.

7) ColorfulTabs. This is a simple but powerful tab management tool to organize your day using tasks, and overall, spark up your tabs. Simply choose a specific color for each tab, and then assign a task or project to each tab. Besides being rather pretty, the pastel tint options are actually easier on the eyes: something important for a pair of lookers who surf and write all day long.

Adsense Notifier. Do you need to visually see your wealth increasing at frequent intervals? If so, apply this plug-in to display your Adsense earnings on the Firefox statusbar. Of course, anyone watching over your shoulder can see your massive earnings too! Nonetheless, to see this “cash register” working might be all you need to stay focused at work.

Using these tips, I literally save several minutes each day many times over, which easily clocks up to be an hour, in which I can do other things.

Will Google Chrome Win the Browser War in 2009?

admin    Google     2009, Browser, Chrome, Google

There are a lot of reviews of 2008 and predictions for 2009 when we step in the New Year. That Google released its own browser Google Chrome ranks in the top 10 software news in 2008, and some experts predicts that Google Chrome will take up a market share of 10%~15% in 2009. Google Chrome is great, but it is not easy to change old routines and make users switch from their current browsers. This prediction will come true or not? We will keep an eye on it.

Google Chrome is a wonderful browser with a simple and clean user interface. It is quite different form IE 7 and FireFox 3. Based on the features of Google Chrome, can it win the browser war in 2009? We will review the special features of Google Chrome. And I have made a demo with DemoCreator to show these features.

One box for everything:
The address bar is also the search box. And it automatically suggests related queries and popular websites based on your input. It is a multifunctional box.
New tab page:
This is not a blank page. It shows us the Links to websites you visit the most, recently closed tabs, and recent bookmarks. It is quite useful for me to find the most visited websites.
Application shortcuts:
This feature enables users to create an easy entry for the special website service.
Dynamic tabs:
For better experience, you can change the tabs position as you want them to be. And Chrome also allows dragging tabs apart, to create separate windows.
Crash control:
If a page breaks in Chrome, it won’t take the browser with it, so although you will have to reopen that crashed tab or window, you won’t have lost anything else you are doing in other tabs or windows.
Incognito mode:
If you don’t want pages you visit to show up in your web history, just choose incognito mode for private browsing. It can protect your privacy.
Safe browsing:
Google Chrome warns you if you’re about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website. I was supposed to show you this feature in the demo, but I could not find a sample website like this for a test.
Instant bookmarks:
Chrome simplifies the process of bookmark adding. Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you have got it done.
Importing settings:
It is easy for you to import your browsing history, saved websites, and passwords from your default browser to Chrome. It reduces the troubles if you switch to Chrome from Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Simpler downloads:
When you download a file from a website, you can your download’s status at the bottom of your current window where you can monitor the progress of your downloading file.

There is a new and innovative browser choice for users. Google Chrome does deserve a try. To make some software guide video or website demo, DemoCreator is available.
