Having an array of Internet tools that you can fast and quickly access are necessary for the modern online marketer.

Many web marketers aren’t natural designers or developers and often require a bit of help with quickening up their net work.

Here is a short list of some truly helpful add ons and extension for the Firefox web browser.

Rank Checker

This extension allows you to keep a track of your position in the 3 major search engines for your key-phrases. You set up your internet site address and then type in the search phrases you want to track, monitor and measure.

Every time you run a search question it will display your position. Additionally you track your performance or changes over time then export the results into a spreadsheet for any presentations or conferences.

Web Developer

This web developer toolbar is also useful for marketers. You can use the image option to draw around a picture on an internet site to calculate it’s depth and width. Let’s say you wish to add a picture to a web page but you are not sure which size to rescale your image to. Then use this particular tool.

FireFTP

There are several similiar file transfer programmes on the market. Many free and many paid for. This one is free and can be accessed straight from your Internet browser and is recommended by many Adobe Business Catalyst developers. Superb for quickly uploading pictures from your desktop to your website file manager.

SEO Xray

This convenient little tool let’s you check that you have correctly optimised the pages on your website. You visit your page, select the tool and then it will display you your page title, page header and page description.

Read It Later

Now you can save a webpage for viewing later and this tool will then synchronised your saved pages with your internet browser, iPad and IPhone. Similarly, if you save a page from your iPhone it’ll update on your desktop computer.

There are plenty of extensions for browsers however these are the ones that we have found to be the most useful in our marketing experiences.
