Awesome Portable SEO Thumbdrive when visiting clients
This can be a backup to your laptop, in case something goes wrong ( i.e. your battery dies), and you need to use their computer.
1. Get a 250 Mb capacity thumbdrive.
2. Download and Install Firefox Portable on your thumbdrive.
Launch Firefox Portable and Install Your Favorite SEO Add-ons
Because every plugin you install in Firefox Portable will be carried with you, and you won't be using it for normal browsing, there's no reason to go light on the number of add-ons you install (save personal taste). There are a lot of spectacular SEO add-ons out there, here are a few of my favorites:
- Firebug - Absolutely vital for examining/debugging technical SEO issues.
- FlashBlock - Ultra-simple flash blocking with one-click reactivation.
- Web Developer - Lets you disable Javascript, Cookies, Images and CSS to see a site the way spiders do (plus dozens of advanced features more relevant to web developers).
- MozBar - The SEOmoz toolbar - PageAuthority, DomainAuthority, direct interface with Open Site Explorer, and more nifty functions than you can shake a stick at.
- Google Toolbar - Get PageRank straight from the source, and you can turn off pretty much all the other functions.
- User Agent Switcher - The next best way to pose as a searchbot if you're not using MozBar.
- RankChecker - A tool by Aaron Wall, very handy for quick low-volume ranking checks. (Requires registration to download)
- SEO For Firefox - Another tool by Aaron Wall, I mostly leave this one turned off, but the SEO XRay functionality can be quite useful (Requires registration to download)
( You won't need all plugin with all the functions at the same time.)
Install any additional SEO tools that you have that can be run from a
thumbdrive.
Plug it into any computer and make sure no instances of firefox are currently running.
This can be done for Mac also, just save under two different folders so you can open the appropriate one for the computer your on.
Good Luck
