SEO Link Analysis FireFox Plugin - AWESOME!
A long time ago on this blog I did a few posts about how to use the Google Webmaster Tools to see where your links are coming from and also what anchor text is being used. I have also talked about how to use the Yahoo! Site Explorer to spy on where your competition is getting their links from.
Well, now you can do both of these things from Yahoo! with the SEO Link Analysis plugin by Joost de Valk. One of the problems with the Google Webmaster Tools is that you can’t find out a lot about your competition. But with Yahoo! Site Explorer you could see at least where the links were coming from for anybody. Now with this cool little plugin you can see not only where the links are coming from but also what is the anchor text of the links your competition has. There are multiple uses for this, so use your creativity.
Here’s the link to the plugin: SEO Link Analysis
One heads up. Sometimes when you go to install it, you’ll find that it doesn’t do anything. If this happens to you, do a right click and choose ‘Save Link As…’ and save the file to your desktop. Then open the file using FireFox and it will install the plugin.
I hope that helps!

SEO Link Analysis FireFox Plugin
One of the problems with the Google Webmaster Tools is that you can’t find out a lot about your competition. But with Yahoo! Site Explorer you could see at least where the links were coming from for anybody. This one is both.
There are quite a few great SEO-related pugins for Firefox. Besides SEO Link Analysis I use SearchStatus.
I’ve been reading your site for quite a while, and I like it alot. We are in the process to set up a web based feed reader on the Internet to bring something back to you guys around. Would you like us to publish your feed? There will be a link back to your original post on every entry.

it seems to be interesting, sinc I am fighting against much bigger sites then ours, I will try this tool
[Reply]
Webbdesign Guy,
That would be great, thanks!
[Reply]
You can also try backlinkwatch.com it includes anchor text, PR, and number of backlinks to the anchor
[Reply]
Well, sounds to be an interesting plugin. I’ll try to install this one, hope it will work well.
[Reply]
This is a great seo tip and a great plug-in. Being able to see right where competitors are getting their links from plus the anchor text is a huge advantage to getting good rankings faster and easier for your own sites.
[Reply]
I agree this plug-in is awesome. I used to have to manually click on the links to see what is going on! This plug-in saves so much time and is so useful. Looks like someone has some secrets : “There are multiple uses for this, so use your creativity.”
[Reply]
i have checked works pretty good.
Thanks for such a nice tool
Gr8 work keep it up
[Reply]
SEO Link Analysis plugin looks a nice creation. It would now simplify the search program and increase the productivity.
[Reply]
I need all the help I can get!! I am quite new to this business. Thanks
[Reply]
Not only is web site marketing very important, but content management is necessary as well.
Thanks-.
[Reply]
Sounds like a great plugin but when I try to install it, it does nothing. I tried the other method of saving it, but it still does nothing. I do get a username/password prompt when Firefox restarts though… which i disregard and it continues as normal :S
[Reply]
Nice tool!
Gotta love those Firefox plugins.
[Reply]
Been using this plugin for a bit now, and it’s very nice.
[Reply]
This seems to be interesting. I tried to download ’seo for firefox’ from seobook.com, but the link didn’t work. Does anyone know where you can get that plugin?
I think is a great alternative.
[Reply]
So I am a little confused at what it is suppose to do exactly. How will it save me time and give me more information?
[Reply]
Dan, you can find your feed here:

I’ve resisted going to FireFox so far as I’ve been complacently content with IE. But, this plug-in sounds too good to pass up. I’ve downloaded it. Now, I’ve got to say a ceremonial goodbye to IE and grit my teeth and make the switch. Thanks for the resource.
[Reply]
Thanks for bringing this useful seo tool to our attention!
[Reply]
I’ve been using this tool for some time now, it’s fantastic. You can get invaluable data REALLY quickly, doing a job in seconds that used to take hours. Just watch for your API getting blocked!
[Reply]
This is an awesome tool. I have been looking for something along these lines for a while now.
[Reply]
Hey thanks for the plugin that is great. It is nice to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
[Reply]
Wow. Thanks for the resource.Being able to see where competitors are getting their links from plus the anchor text is a huge advantage to getting good rankings faster and easier for your own sites.
[Reply]
Thanks. The plugin looks useful. Just wanted to point out that I think Yahoo is generally much better at finding backlinks because of its “link” and “linkdomain” commands. It’s much better than Google!
[Reply]
Lovely, I have been looking for a good firefox tool. I will have to check it out. Its long since I have opted for it, and thank God I found it. I definetly have to visit this.
[Reply]
I’ve just install this plugin. For the moment, it is usefull, i hope that this program will improve in a future.
[Reply]
I love firefox!
[Reply]
I had a real hard time getting this plugin installed. I eventually had to wipe FF, clean out all remnants of the original folders and registry entires and reinstall. That did the trick and it works great.
[Reply]
Thanks, this will be a useful addition to SeoQuake and Search Status 1.23 I am currently using
[Reply]
I failed to use that plugin. how can I make that working?
[Reply]
Really a good plugin for SEO. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
[Reply]
I have heard about this plgin from my friends that its working very well and we can get all the SEO link and analysis with that.I think this simply wonderful work by mozilla.
[Reply]
Thanks for the cool tool, I will be using this. I also use another FF SEO plugin, its called SEOTools. Its also very useful, has a ton of features.
[Reply]
I’ve used this in the past and found it quite useful, especially for checking supplemental links at the time - however when that became less of an issue, I must have uninstalled it to cut down on my number of extensions as I tend to have a lot running!
[Reply]
this is a great plugin - thanks for the tip.
[Reply]
That can come in handy, I’m attacking my keyword hard. I want to own my competition.
[Reply]
How’s this different from let’s say SEO Spyglass or similar software?
[Reply]
Thank you very much for this tool. It is very usefull to check my backlinks
[Reply]
Hmm.. Adds 1 to the many uses of Firefox =) Could you come out with a review of how to use it effectively? Great find. Cheers.
[Reply]
nice seo analyss link

[Reply]
Great and handy tool. Thanks alot for sharing. Will definitely prove useful. Cheers.
[Reply]
Firefox plug-ins are great and always are very helpful for me. I was already looking for such utility.
[Reply]
Thank you for the tip, but what does this do that SEO Quake doesn’t?
Eric Trilastin Sr.
[Reply]
I totally agree with the post. The plug-in is totally amazing it worked wonders for me. i liked it a lot if you haven’t tried it till now . Then try it.
[Reply]
Im with Marc, I have used it for sometimes now and it is great tools. I recommend readers here to try it. Slightly different with other seo tools.
[Reply]
This is one of the handiest plugins I have ever found and used for my browser. I recommend it to people all the time.
[Reply]
Have you ever tried SeoQuake Firefox-plugin? It’s really great.
[Reply]
Wow! Thanks a lot for sharing.
[Reply]
Great tool - thanks for the information.
[Reply]
Well, this may be a great plugin, but i hate the fact that my competitors can see where i’m getting my links from. It’s getting to the point where you almost don’t want to get new links just because of that reason…lol.
[Reply]
Thanks for letting us know about this plugin. It’s a great tool that saves tons of time.
[Reply]
I have been using this plugin for some time now. Works great but to analyze links its not really that useful.
[Reply]
I’m not really sure what this does for me, I installed it, but I can’t see changes anyware, can anyone enlighten me?
[Reply]
why now just use SEOquake
every one already have praised it a LOT
[Reply]
The best tool ever for finding out what links your competitors have is SEO Elite. You have to buy it, but it’s worth it. You can see every link, every anchor text phrase and more. It’s well worth it
[Reply]
I love the SEO quake tool. Tells me a lot without having to leave google. But, i will try this tool also!
[Reply]
I am also a user of SEO Quake. Excellent tool when analyzing your competitors.
Look forward to use this new plug in!
[Reply]
Perhaps these are rare Forefox Plug-ins which we can’t find generating an ordinary search. I often browse Firefox’s plugins but couldn’t find there. Thanks for sharing it.
[Reply]
SEO’s had better hope Yahoo doesn’t do as Google did and mess with their ‘linkdomain:’ query results.
[grins evilly]
[Reply]
This sounds like a good plugin. Great site by the way keep it up.
[Reply]
I am using SEO for Firefox and that provides a lot of information. I have visited the link in this article and it provides the same. Should I switched? Does someone else has used both and will tell me that which is better?
[Reply]
Thanks for your information , i am looking forward for Firefox seo tool
[Reply]
Very useful info, many thanks.
[Reply]
When I use firefox I use the SEOquake plugin. It’s a status bar that shows the pagerank, alexa rank, inbound links, sitemap detection, del.icio.us links, keyword density, and more.
[Reply]
It will be very helpful to me for doing SEO of my own website. Thanks for such a nice post.
[Reply]
Sweet or what? Very useful find, thanks a bunch.
[Reply]
Being relatively new to Wordpress blogging and Firefox, I haven’t heard of these types of plug-ins. I’m definitely going to download SEO Link Analysis and SEO Quake mentioned in several of the comments.
Thanks for the info.
[Reply]
Definatly a neat tool, one of my favourite wordpress plugins, this is oen of the reasons i prefer the wordpress platform over other blogging platforms.

That is a good plugin. There are some other ones out there, and they are certainly useful for finding where you can build your backlinks.
[Reply]
Yes this plugin is great. I just downloaded it and tested it. Still need to find out what all I can analyze. This is a must for any firefox user.
[Reply]
Awesome! I’m checking this out now. I’ve read about checking out where competition’s links are coming from, but I did not know about how to check on the keywords.
I have an seo plugin installed in firefox now, but it does not do what the one you’ve mentioned here does.
Thanks!
[Reply]
Thanks, it’s a good post…

Great tool for SEO. Thanks for sharing.
[Reply]
A couple of comments:
(1)Firefox rules! There are many more useful plugins for Firefox, that’s why I use it.
(3)I find that Yahoo gives more information and generally more useful but the bad thing about it is that is doesn’t recognise “no-follow”, which is used by Google.
(2)I tried the SEO Link Analysis plugin - it’s great, thanks for mentioning it on your website.
[Reply]
hi,
cool plugin.
thanks a lot for sharing the information.

MSN AdLabs has a great Excel plug-in that provides keyword query volume and other data. It kicks butt for keyword research.
