Like most web-developers or SEO specialists, I use a vast array of methods to get the job done. Be taught further about principles by navigating to our prodound URL. I use a variety of internet and desktop applications, some acquired and some free. Everyone I know has downloaded a free copy of Mozilla Firefox, but few understand that by adding a number of the 1,500 free extensions they could eliminate the need for the majority of the other programs they currently use. Listed here are my 13 favorite extensions for internet professionals (in no particular order ):

HTML Validator (http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/) validates website pages to the W3C HTML standards using a simple green check in the place of the page if the page validates, a red check if it doesnt, and a yellow exclamation level if there are warnings. In addition it includes an advanced view of source code which allows one to see where problems are within the code.

FireFTP (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/684/) free, safe, cross-platform FTP client that provides easy and intuitive usage of FTP servers. This eliminates a piece of computer software for those who work with a separate system for FTP.

Professor X (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2823/) enables you to view header information without needing to view source code. The site slides down and Professor X demonstrates to you the contents of the page's head element, including Meta, Script and Style material.

NikkelWHOIS (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2646/) view the WHOIS data for any page by clicking the button on the top-right of the visitor.

IE Tab (http://ietab.mozdev.org) sick of trading between Firefox and Internet Explorer when trying out a website youre developing? With IE Case you can view Internet Explorer in a Firefox Loss!

FireBug (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1843/) an advanced debugger unit that enables you to observe your JavaScript, HTML, CSS and Ajax. To check up additional information, people are able to check-out: jaztime .

Codetech (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1002/) web-page editor that's the experience of Dreamweaver. An amazing expansion for anyone doing website design that doesnt need to spend a couple of hundred pounds for Dreamweaver.

Server Switcher (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2409/) quickly switch between web sites on your own development and live servers by pressing the switch server icon.

Search Engine Optimisation for Firefox (http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html) brings of good use researching the market information right into Google's and Yahoo!'s search engine results, including Google PR, Age, links, Alexa position, WHOIS, and more. In addition it adds a few helpful links for the top of the search pages, including Google Traffic Estimator, Google Trends, and the Overture View Bid software.

Yet Another Window Resizer (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2498/) enables you to resize browser window to standard screen resolutions.

AdSense Preview (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2132/) preview the Google AdSense ads that would appear on that page. This is incredibly useful if you are considering putting AdSense on the page and dont want to have the trouble of signing up for an account and putting the ads up only to find out what sort of ads will show.

Screen grab (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1146/) has a screenshot of the webpage and saves it being an image file. This saves a bunch of time compared to the approach I used to use have a screenshot and open the image to be cropped by Adobe Photoshop.

Server Spy (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2036/) shows what make of HTTP server (Apache, IIS, etc.) works on the site on the side of the browser..
