For those who like to keep daily tabs on their status, linkbacks, whois and alexa rank there is a nifty little plugin created by the FireFox people. It’s created for FireFox and Mozilla for now, but I’m sure they will create something for IE for our non FireFox users.
It looks like this:
For every site you visit using, SearchStatus lets you view its Google PageRank, Google Category, Alexa popularity ranking, Alexa incoming links, Alexa related links and backward links from Google, Yahoo! and MSN. This combined search-related information means you can view not only the link importance of a site (according to Google), but also its traffic importance (according to Alexa), so providing a balanced view of site efficacy.
After installing it and feeling bad about my dismal page rank, it really motivated me to do something about it even more so. If you’re like me with 0 as your page rank because you’re the new kid on the black it is also a great motivational tool!
Now for the IE Users there is an Alexa tool bar not as discrete as this nor does it include the page rank. Alexa Toolbar
I love that plugin! Thanks for showcasing it. I’m sure there will be others who will enjoy it as much as I do.
