Search Better – Customize Google

I was just checking a customer’s website ranking on Google. They’ve jumped from #7 up to #2. Whoohoo! Google Suggest says these phrases are searched on about 4.5 million times. I also checked out the competition – my customer’s website is #2 out of 21,500,000 pages. Excellent.

I also wanted to check on how their results were doing on other search engines, but it’s a pain to have to go to each individual search engine – even with bookmarks – and type in your keywords every time.

Turns out there’s a Firefox extension that will help me out – Customize Google. (If you’re unfamiliar with Firefox or Firefox extensions, check out my recent post on the subject) There is a setting to add links to other web search sites on your Google web results page.

Now, instead of typing each phrase into multiple search engines, I can type the phrase once and view all the results within Google. Another reason to switch to the Firefox browser.
