Alexa Releases Official Toolbar for Firefox
Jul 21st, 2007 by Milan Dinić
This toolbar actually is not “real” toolbar. It’s called Sparky and has this features
- Related Links: Find sites that are similar to the one you are currently visiting.
- Traffic Trend: A sparkline showing the traffic trend from the last four months.
- Reach Meter: A neat little indicator that shows the site’s Reach.
- Traffic Rank: Shows the current site’s Alexa Traffic Rank.
As you can see below, it is not classic toolbar, it is classic Firefox extension.
Why I wrote this post (since this news is not that special) is that I was surprised that many people didn’t know that there already existed extensions for Firefox that improved site’s ranking and that anyone can make miscellaneous toolbars for IE and Firefox that will count hits to Alexa.. I use SearchStatus, because it has many worth features and it’s much better than this official extension.
