Today I found a couple new features on the SEOBook Toolbar that I use that I really liked. When I first downloaded the toolbar, I am embarrassed to say, I did not do much research behind what meets the eye. There were some features I had heard people talk about but couldn’t find and never took the time to try.
Simulating User Agent:
Being able to simulate a user agent is crucial when running any type of analysis on a site. It allows you to view the page as the search engines do without having to look at the cache. Until now I have been using Google Cache and Web Developers Toolbar to simulate these experiences.
Select the competition menu and scroll down to “User Agent”:

From “User Agent” select which user agent you would like to use.

Server Headers:
The Server Header tool is another tool that I have recently discoved. Every time I want to check a URL I have been going to SEOConsultants Header Checker Tool and using their tool.

Now checking the server header will not require me to even leave the page. It will be a useful time saver going forward.
The SEO Toolbar is a great tool that I use on a daily basis and one of the tools cannot live without. I am always able to find something new and useful that I did not know about before. Leave a note below if there is a feature that you use daily.,m,

Boston SEO Startup WordStream has raised a new round of funding. It was announced this weekend by Techcrunch that they have raised $6 million. According to TechCrunch the round of funding comes from Egan-Managed Capital and Sigma Partners. MediaPost has a great article that goes in depth on what went on behind the scenes before WordStream secured capital from Egan-Managed Capital.
WordStream continues to push out great keyword management products to help with keyword research. I have been very impressed with the products I have seen through demos and my own personal experience. Most recently they launched SEO for Firefox which is a great tool for content producers looking to perform keyword research while writing in their content management system.
Along with SEO for Firefox, Wordstream has free SEO tools and subscription tools for SEO and PPC which are their core products. I am yet to find a competitor to their keyword research products, although Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet software companies are indirect competitors. Having met people from WordStream before, I am confident they will continue to create innovative tools and to help push the SEO industry forward.
