Alexa toolbar for Firefox.
Finally there is an Alexa toolbar for Firefox.
For the longest time, the toolbar was only available for IE, but there is finally an extension for FF.
Alexa measures the traffic of sites on the net, and then ranks them according to the amount of traffic they receive.
With it only having been available for IE, not many people were using it to help gauge a sites traffic.
I now have it installed on my browser, so my site and all the blogs and sites I visit every day, are being counted by Alexa.
I have so many tools on my bottom toolbar to measure stats, it's starting to get a bit crowded.
But with blog stats being important to monetizing your blog, keeping track of your rankings helps you be able to better monetize and market your blog.
So what's down there on my toolbar?
Well the new Alexa bar, Search Status for counting Alexa traffic and other useful tools, the Compete Profile extension, and the Technorati extension.
All of them are useful little gadgets located in the bottom bar, that help me see the traffic and ranking of various sites.
And then I just have little things that help make my browsing easier like Fasterfox, which shows you how fast a site loads and allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay, and also the Gmail extension, which tells me when I have new emails.
But this post is really about the Alexa toolbar. *hint get it hint*
