Webmaster ToolBox

This is a nifty little tool which was copied from Opera. By dragging your mouse in different ways, Firefox performs different operations. For example, I set all operations to right+click and drag:

7 U 9
L X R
1 D 3

• D - refresh page
• D U - New tab
• L - Back
• R - Forward
• L D R - View cookies for the page (very useful when programming)
• U - New tab
• 3 - Increase font size
• 9 - Hide image
• L U - Stop

All this is customizable and after you get used to using it, it saves so much time and is so much faster than clicking on all the different buttons.

For more features and download, go to http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/installation.html

If you already have Mouse Gestures, have recently upgraded, and all of your gestures are missing (happened to me) this is what you need to do:

1. In Firefox, go to Tools > Addons > Uninstall Mouse Gestures
2. Run (windows+r): Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
3. Enter your profile and delete a file called mousegestures.rdf
4. Reinstall mouse gestures

and it should work.

This is a fantastic time-saver and one that should be built into Firefox.

As any good marketer knows, you need to learn about your market before you do anything else.

I made two videos to make keyword research much faster.

Video 1

This is a shorthand method of looking up keywords in the freekeywords tool of WordTracker. This will allow you to search for a keyword directly from your address bar (in Firefox which you should be using)

Step 1: Go here

Step 2: Watch the Video

Video 2
Wordtracker is not always accurate so you need to check its accuracy with Google Trends. If currently rank in the top 2 spots for any keyword receiving over 200 uniques, I recommend you use your keyword instead of the one shown in the video (male yeast infection which receives about 500 searches a day)

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO THIS BEFORE SEOing YOUR SITE. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of time getting ranked for a keyword that doesn’t receive traffic. I learned of this method from the 30 Day Challenge and hope you guys check it out.
