Webmasters or online marketers doing search engine optimization normally need to track how successful what they have done is. There are so many tools helping you this. Some of them are free whereas some of them are not. Moreover, some of them are web-based but some of them need to be downloaded and installed. Many web-based ones require the registration from the users or at least their emails. For the ones that need to be installed in users’ computers are mostly shareware. Therefore, today I will recommend you some Firefox Add-Ons that can help you track your Search Engine Optimization performance.

- Rank Checker
- SEO Quake
- SEOHand
- SEOpen

In order to use these Add-Ons, firstly you have to download them from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/. After completing installation, the browser will ask you to restart your Firefox. When your Firefox has been restored, these Add-Ons should be ready to use.

Basically, what these Add-Ons can tell you are the followings;

The result can be exported as a CSV file.
