Let me know if you have others!
Since so many computers are wide screen now, I’ve eliminated and
minimized the space that toolbars, icons, and menus take up in web
browsers. All of these add-ons will discreetly add buttons or
informational displays to various parts of Firefox WITHOUT taking up
valuable vertical space. This means less scrolling up and down for momst web sites. Of course, you can always press F11 to go full screen as well.

Oh, and all off these work with Firefox 3.0, the best browser on the market today.

  1. Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer - If you want shared bookmarks between computers, such as your laptop and your office PC, this is the best way to go without using another toolbars.
  2. CoLT - CoLt makes if easy to copy hyperlink’s text or both the link and the text to insert in your blog post.
  3. Domain Lookup - Easy domain lookup tool for domainers.
  4. DownThemAll! - Speed up downloads, pause, resume and much more.
  5. Scribefire - Absolutely the best blogger tool add-in for Firefox. Create, edit and delete post within a split screen with great wysiwyg tools. I know it works with Drupal and Wordpress. Probably works with all the major CMSs.
  6. Search Status - Display Google PageRank, Alexa rank, and Compete ranking anywhere in your browser
  7. Secure Login - Login extension for Firefox that works similarly to Opera’s Wand function.
  8. StumbleUpon - Looking for post ideas? How about domain names? StumbleUpon is a great tool to find websites you may not be aware of.
  9. Zemanta - A Firefox plug-in that suggest links, tags, categories and even pictures as you type your posts in Wordpress. It is kinda spooky how it is a Firefox plugin, but yet a Wordpress plugin.
  10. Timelope - “It eats your interwebs!” This Firefox plugin basically gathers your surf history, saves it for later searches and/or shares it with the world (or just your friends). In alpha stage at this writing - expect bugs.
  11. Delicious Bookmarks - Uh, if you don’t know what del.icio.us is, quit reading this blog. This is the best tool for integrating Delicious with Firefox.

11 great Firefox bookmarks. Delete one and make it your Top 10!

The Cash Parking from Go Daddy is starting to show results, but I have several niches with between 20 and 100 names for each. I plan to go ahead with the niche finding for awhile. I’m thinking that with 1000 or more domains, my inventory will be sufficient for me to find the best privately branded data feeds for affiliate programs. Of course, I could be wrong, but what the hell, domain names are worth money, right?

Quick and easy way to check for word combinations of possible names, many options. Fast and efficient.
Yes, that is an affiliate link above. Use it to go to Bust a Name and sign up your site today.
One complaint: It is tedious to buy the domain names (I really don’t
care that they get a commission from Go Daddy; I get better pricing
anyway). It needs a way to bulk enter the domain names. Get to work
guys! I have programmers available if you need them.

I’m only CashParking most of these domains until I sell them or setup a site.

CashParking is bringing in about $25 per month, and it should begin growing even more with time.

Domain count is over 300 now.

Over at SEOmoz, Randfish has a great post on the subject, and how incoming trusted links, link growth and other issues factor into how the search engines rank your sites.

I guess he has had enough hearing about keywords and meta-tags. Oh well, at least Yahoo uses them.

The point is, if you are needing to search engine optimize your site or someone else’s to improve organic results, it IS alot more than meta-tags and keywords. And if the company or book is telling you that is where you start, run away. I’ve been very successful getting results on the SERPs without a description or keywords tag. However, the title tag is VERY important. In fact, I have been ranked #1 for search terms that are not even relevant to my site because the term was a part of the title tag. And the term and sites ranked above were not off-the-wall long tail shit either.

Whats really cool is the despair-like attitude, and they probably will make money. There is some real good tips in the posts so far. I most like his guest post on johncow.com (no, that is not a typo).
