May 16

If you are not a Firefox user, you should be…

In particular if you are involved in the Internet Marketing game….  Firebug allows you to quickly analyze the code of the website that you are visiting….

For example, if I am researching the keyword ‘wealthy affiliate review‘, I can go to the website on google page 1 and check out its code very easily.  I just right click on the screen and select ‘Inspect Element’, and WHAM, the screen splits and shows me the code….  I love it… A software programming collegue of mine who is an absolute genius showed this to me a few weeks ago….

By investigating how the top performing site on Google is optimizing their site for the keyword can help us gain insight as to what we need to do to our website to compete for that particular keyword….
