Prepare to rock your world with SEO Quake
October 11th, 2007
Webmasters live and breathe SEO. However, it can be tiring to study a site by flipping through various tools to know more about its Page Rank, keyword density, and all that good stuff we obsess about. Well, some guys back at Russia thought so, too, and they were nice enough to make a tool called SEO Quake.
SEO Quake is an extension for your web browser. It can be integrated as a toolbar which sits conveniently on top of whatever website you’re browsing, while giving you a wealth of information about it. For example, SEO Quake can automatically display its Google Page Rank and the number of indexed pages, along with its Yahoo and MSN counterparts. It can show you the site’s current Alexa ranking, its age, and social bookmarking site indexes, like Del.icio.us, Technorati and Digg. You can even do a whois lookup, get the site’s IP address and study the site’s keyword density. If you’re curious about its backlinks, SEO Quake will give you a full list, complete with the Page Rank of each. Impressed? You should be.
Another great thing about SEO Quake is its design. It doesn’t take up a lot of space so the clutter is minimized. The interface is easy to use. Everything is laid out neatly in a table with rows of clearly labeled checkboxes. It would have been nice, though, if the documentation was more informative. The English version of the FAQ page was tricky to get to.
SEO Quake is compatible with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox 2.0, as well as Firefox Beta 3.
I love this tool. Can’t live without it. I mentioned it in my post about the Programs I can’t live without.
BTW, I’m trying to figure out how to find the backlinks using Quake, but no luck. Any chance you could point me in the right Dir??? Thanks!
