Since its release in 2008, Google Chrome has quickly become one of the most used browers by internet users. For many it is just a good user friendly brower, but for many others the tools it offers for SEO make it their only choice. Just like other browsers the extra’s often make the difference.
Some of the tools that make it usefull are:
- MozBar. This is an extension that has been around a while with Firefox, and now the company has made a version for Chrome. From this extention you can access metrics for both links and domains and access the SERP overlay. This handy toolbar can be shown at either the top of the page or the bottom of the page depending on yor preference.
- SEO SERP This is a great tool for checking the ranking of a keyword. All you need to to is type in the keyword you want to check. You then choose the websites you want to see and check out how they are doing. This tool will also let you know what websites are the top ranking sites.
- Goo.gl URL Shortener. With one click you can shorten those URL’s that are pages long. This has the added benefit of a feature that allows you to add the URLs to your history so you have them for later.
- Chrome SEO. This is a basic tool, but necessary for anyone who manages SEO. It shows a daily count of backlinks, indexed pages, and traffic and rank. It also has a research tool for keywords, and will count social bookmarks.
