As Most of you are aware, SEO for Firefox is one of the hottest things in SEO at this moment. Using this time saving tool, you can get any amount of information gleamed from the data made from the SEO toolbar, it’s a highly recommended Firefox extension for anyone in search marketing (and according to the site, over 50,000 people are using it).

Here are some examples of the data SEO for Friefox provides and why their attributes are important include:

  • The PR section – This section is important, for each page of the site (mainly dependent on the URL in the destination URL underneath the Google snippet for description text) — The PR of the page is important but not as important as the number of links to the page in question and their quality. Important attribute, but only good for when used for purchasing link ads on the pages in the SERPs.
  • The Google Cache Date – The new PR, the more a page is cached and the more recent the cache date emphasizes the level of authority for the page – If you can get your Google cache date increased, this will result in even more of an authority in the SERPs. Keep on with the submissions and adding to of content on your site.
  • The Age – A HIGHLY integral part to any domain name’s popularity. The older the domain name and the higher the PR, the more power the site / page will influence SERP results. Age is an important factor and sometimes cannot be seen by the SEO for Firefox toolbar, if you can’t get the information on age, feel free to use the WhoIS at the end of the data sets.
  • Del.icio.us links – The more Del.icio.us links you get, the more social bookmarking cred you have, there should also be a section for how many Diggs a post has as well as other social bookmarking data areas, but that’s likely in the making from Aaron Wall.
  • The Y! links for links, .edu, .gov and Page Links are of high importance. Yahoo! is the best at picking up links, which means that Yahoo! should be one of your main indicators of link popularity. The .edus and .govs increase the PR to your site which of course is based on the overall number of links to your site (site-wide links to each of the pages within your site and to your homepage). The Y! page links are important for evaluating what it takes to be in the top of search for those terms used. If a site is Cancer.gov per se, you should focus on its overall link popularity as well as it’s page links. If you can increase your full amount of links, the authority of those links and build deep links to your inner pages, you can easily rank highly for the search terms targeted based on the link popularity data.
