Alexa Finally Releases Toolbar Add-on For Firefox

Alexa is possibly the most inaccurate website ranking site on the internet. With the release of Alex’s Firefox Toolbar Add-on (codenamed : Sparky) their rankings might become much more accurate. It would be great if you could afford to ignore your site’s Alexa Traffic Ranking, but if you plan to make money with your website, improving your Alexa Traffic Ranking is a necessary evil.

Way To Go Sparky, Alexa Is No Longer Just For Internet Explorer

Here is how Alexa.com explains Sparky:

Feature Overview

• Sparky is a free FireFox browser plugin that accompanies you as you surf, providing useful information about the sites you visit without interrupting your Web browsing.
• Learn about Web sites Traffic Trend information.
• Get detailed traffic information including Reach and Rank.
• Surf more efficiently with Related Links for each page.

The benefit they should have included on their feature overview list is that by installing the toolbar you help increase the traffic ranking of your site and every site you visit. The related links feature is a nice addition, although I really don’t need another menu selection at the top of my Firefox browser. The list of related links the toolbar returns for Passionate America is interesting. The list I am looking at includes:

• RushLimbaugh.com
• The Regular Guys
• Little Green Footballs
• Northeast Intelligence Network
• Glenn Beck
• Dustbury
• Neal Boortz
