  If you can give me some more details (which version of firefox you are using, how exactly it's not working, etc)? Then I'll try fix it.

    Was running 1.0.2, then decided to update (I always use Opera)to 1.0.7 but it's the same. Finding positions seems work fine, but linkcount doesn't work. For example: do you see Webmaterbrain logo at top right of this page? Say for me: Google 0 links, msn 0 links and Yahoo! 192, but clicking in the link Yahoo! says me: Results 1 - 10 of about 29,700 for link:http://www.webmasterbrain.com/

Great Tool

Just read about it on threadwatch, downloaded it, installed it and right away it was popping up with data. Very useful tool which will unfortunately create another addictive habit.. hovering over whatever link, just to know:)

  At the moment no, unless you clear your cookies so Google doesn't associate the queries with your account.

Installation

Sorry, new to FireFox, how do you install this extension?
Thanks

- Re: Installation
  
  Make sure firefox is set to allow extension installs from www.webmasterbrain.com:
  1. Go to "Preferences", "Web Features"
  2. Ensure "Allow websites to install software", click "Allowed Sites"
  3. Type in: "www.webmasterbrain.com" (without the quotes), keep hitting return until all dialogs are closed
  Clicking the download button on this page should do the rest.

rankings?

Just wondering where the rankings info comes from. I've tried hovering over a couple of links where I know the current rankings, and they don't seem to be the same. Looks like a very cool tool, just wondering where the info comes from...
Thanks.

- Re: rankings?
  
  The extension uses the MSN, and Yahoo API services. Unfortunately there is sometimes discrepancies between the API and regular results in the case of both engines.
  Google data is extracted directly from regular SERPs and so the most accurate. Their API is frankly too slow and crippled for any practical use.

  - Re: Re: rankings?
    
    Still not sure I get how the rankings are generated. For instance, if I go to firefox.com and mouse over the Mozilla Foundation link, I see all the backlinks, and all the rankings are 1st. Don't you have to search the various search engines with a particular keyword or phrase to find out what that site's SERPs are? If I search using the phrase [Mozilla Foundation], of course it'll come up as 1st. Are the rankings determined by searching using the anchor text of the link itself?
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks for your answers. I think I love this tool, but need a bit more convincing yet.

I've setup a mailing list to track new releases. (Until I integrate the page with the rest of the site) you can sign up from this URL:

You'll then be notified when new releases (likely fixing any problems you are experiencing) come out.

  I'm not forcing the install. Firefox's default behavior with .xpi (firefox extension) files is to attempt an install.
  If you want to download the extension file but not install it, right click and select "Save Link As"

Hi M8
It's an interesting little number good for tracking new pages...
However, every time I want to check a site, if the page is part of a framed site e.g.

Nada!
Any ideas?

  If you right click the frame you want and select "This Frame" -> "Show Only This Frame" it should work.
  I didn't think to support frames, since with the exception of bloglines, I haven't seen them used in years.

nice tool

I really like this tool
How can I make it country specific though, for example I'd like to see how I'm doing on MSN.co.uk Yahoo.co.uk and Google.co.uk
For some of my .uk domain on UK hosting im nowhere to be seen in US serps, where can I change this?
I looked in the .xpi file but its all jumbled

  If you want to hard-code the changes, the file you want is /chrome/seolinks/content/seolinks.js, do a search for google.com, msn.com, etc and tweak the urls however you wish, then zip it backup and re-install the extension
  If that's too technical you can subscribe to the mailing list (higher up on this page) to be notified when the next version comes out which will likely include country selection

No big deal but it took me awhile to figure out what was going on.
On this page [1] after clicking a thumbnail, users are supposed to see a larger image with a caption; with the SEO extension, that caption does not appear, the script on the page fails to return "this.title".
