7 Essential Firefox Extensions for Affiliate Marketing

Are you looking for Firefox extensions to save you time and sanity while boosting your productivity and workflow while Affiliate Marketing? Well you’ve come to the right place. Check out our top 7 Firefox extensions below.

1) SEOToolbar

Wow, what can I say? SEO Book packs so much into this extension. Want to know every intimate detail about your competition? Just visit any page to get the low down on it’s page rank, pages indexed in Google and Yahoo, Alexa.com rating, Compete.com rating, SEMRush.com traffic value, as well as the age of the domain and links to the wayback machine to see what the site looked like in it’s infancy. It also scours social bookmarking sites del.icio.us, digg, twitter and stumbleupon to see how many links are on each site accordingly.

2) Roboform

Do you sign up for new Affiliate Networks all the time? It’s a drag typing the same thing day after day. Let Roboform do all the heavy lifting. It’s also great at remembering login information for multiple accounts with one click logins.

3) Google Global

Do you travel a lot? Maybe you don’t live in the region that you are marketing to. Google Global allows you to view organic and paid traffic as they appear in different cities, regions, ip addresses and zip codes. This plugin is essential if you are using AdWords.

4) refspoof

Refspoof allows you to change the referring url that your browser passes on. It’s good if you want to cover your tracks or test out some of your own projects.

5) FireFTP

Need to make some quick changes to a landing page at 3 in the morning? I don’t think that your designer/developer will be happy with a phone call that early. No problem use FireFTP to access your website and make those minor changes yourself. Just make sure you know the HTML basics so you don’t break the layout of the page.

6) IE Tab

Is Firefox your default browser? If so sometimes you forget to check what your landing page or design looks like in Internet Explorer. Make sure there are no mistakes because the majority of the Internet still uses IE. If you’re on a mac you will need to either run bootcamp or windows inside of a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMWare.

7) User Agent Switcher

Switch between user agents within Firefox to see how web pages react. Useful for getting into areas that only allow Googlebot (naughty naughty) & a few other things.

Also very useful are SearchStatus - SEOQuake - Alexa Sparky and if you're into Twitter, maybe Power Twitter too.

I use all of them. SEO Quake occasionally causes weird behaviour with Java popups but it's worth it for the information it gives you.
