I also like View Source Chart, which neatly displays the source code of a webpage using colors and tag boundaries.

Search Status is my favorite and really the only SEO addon I use except for header check addons. It's all right there and doesn't clutter up SERPS like some of the others.

SeoQuake can be distinguished from similar projects by a wide range of parameters available for analysis, simplicity of use and also a tool for creation of custom parameters. SeoQuake consists of two functional parts. The first one is SeoBar. The second part is the computation of the parameters for search results and its inclusion into search engine result pages – SERPs – for the most popular search engines.

These are all great.
I'm running a PowerBook G4 with 1.25GB of ram. Using SEOQuake, google toolarbar and stumbleupon have bogged it waaaaay down.
If you're going to use more than one of these toolbars, I suggest manually changing firefox's configuration for faster browsing. Learn more here
Hey everyone, thanks for pointing out these additional tools. Just a FYI: We prefer anchor text links in comments please. Long URLs mess with the layout.
Adam, I didn't realize the 97th floor plugin was specific to Firefox or I would have included it. Thanks!

Hey Lee - check out WP Chunk for gracefully shortening URLs in comments. Very cool plugin.

To check out the guts of the html of a page, you may like to use Firebug. Perhaps more popular in the web developers circles, although this is my favourite for getting started on new client sites.

Pretty good, though apart from Firefox Addon i would recommend Compete.com Addon for Google Toolbar, they would be very useful for SEO's as they show alexa rank, total visitors/month of particular website, its rank, and trustability

It's nice to have a post that gets away from the usual observations and strategies, to focus more on actionable tactics and tools that people can use right away.
I use a combo of both SEO for Firefox and SearchStatus on my Intel PowerMac. They get along well together, provide all the relevant info I need, and don't bog down the system at all.
Good job on this refreshing post! I'll be sharing it with more than 35,000 readers in my next newsletter.

Hey,
What do you think about Link Diagosis? It lets you see detailed info about your backlinks like PR, anchor texts , link counts etc..

Hi Dear,
Link diagnosis is also Good Tool, but we can prefer always SEOQualke because seoquake 've got very good Quality system to serve better output.
Nice info, keep it up.
Thanks Jay

@Jay: What are you talking about? SEOQuake and Link Diagnosis are for 2 different purposes. SEOQuake is very useful for general stats about the site like number of links, alexa etc. Link diagnosis gives you detailed information about every backlink but takes longer to complete. These 2 tools complement each other very well. Its not that one is replacing the other one.

I use Firebug the most, my favorite. Use it any time working with CSS. I also use search status, and web developer. Checking out the other ones.

Thanks for the thoughts on SEO and Firefox. It will be nice one day to use all that tiny space around a browser window with important info that one might need.
Screen real estate is real important... it's quite an art to make it all fit, as well as a good viewing experience. I don't want to 'lose' any view space, but I want to have access to the stuff I need to quickly check out a site, or a words meaning, translate something, know if I have mail, etc etc.
Just some thoughts...

Thanks for the list. I got here via google looking exactly for what the page offers, so you guys obviously did some good SEO. :)
I'd like to add the Search Status extension that shows Alexa and PageRank on the status bar. Takes just a bit of your screen property and it is always visible and handy.
Hey great list! My favorite tool has to be the web developer plugin, couldn't live without it! Some of these look really good though, I going to try out that niche watch tool now. Thanks a lot!

Joost's SEO Link Analysis tool is a good one, too.
I also like View Source Chart, which neatly displays the source code of a webpage using colors and tag boundaries.
