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,
