SEO Blogger – Does It Work?

posted in Software |

I recently found what I thought was going to be a GREAT little plugin for my Firefox web browser… Fresh from Wordtracker Labs, is a Firefox add on called SEO Blogger.

So while you are editing a post, it allows you open up a window alongside your blog’s editing screen, to find relevant/popular keywords for that post.

The idea is that you can use it to create better, keyword rich articles and count how many times you use each phrase.

According to Wordtracker…

Whether you blog about business, politics or the hot topic of the moment, SEO Blogger allows you to find the most sought-after keywords for your subject without ever leaving your blog editing screen. The tool sits alongside whatever blog publishing software you’re using so you can do keyword research and optimize your posts as you write. Then, simply hit “Publish” – and you’re done.

Seems like a good idea… and I was wondering whether it works with ANY web page – i.e. can I open up the keyword research window at any time – not just with my WordPress edit screen?

The answer is “yes”… BUT…

There are a few quirks with it, and I’m not sure whether it’s because I use the Mac version of Firefox (v2) or otherwise, so I’d appreciate hearing your comments on how SEO Blogger is working for you…

I’ve discovered that it does NOT want to work for me… while the window opens and I can type on my keywords, the search results reveal nothing!

I’ve also found some very annoying behaviours…

Whenever I hit the ENTER key, the blasted thing pops up – so I’m typing a URL in the address bar and hit enter to open that URL, SEO Blogger opens!

Same thing with the arrow keys – touch any of them, and BANG! There it goes again! So there goes my preferred scrolling option for viewing a long web page…

Does SEO Blogger work for you? Please let me know.

    Seems it must be my computer that’s the problem with SEO Blogger.

    I just managed to borrow a friend’s Vista laptop with Firefox v3 and installed SEO Blogger with absolutely NONE of the problems I experienced above…

    Which is good to know, as it’s gonna be a very useful plugin for a LOT of people if they actually get around to using it!

    Hi Stephen,

    I’m glad to see that you’ve managed to see SEO Blogger working properly – it is designed around Firefox 3, and as such there are some issues with v2. I hope you are able to continue to use the tool to its best potential, but if you have any other issues or questions, please feel free to mail me directly at mal[at]wordtracker[dot]com.

    Hi Mal

    Thanks for dropping by… Good to see the guys at Wordtracker are on the ball :)

    SEO Blogger IS going to be a very useful tool for me, so now all I have to do is upgrade my Mac OS so I can get Firefox v3 installed.

    Might be time to do that, cos I’m not up to converting to a windoze machine just yet.
