Google Toolbar

 

 

 

Adding the Google Tool Bar to your browser will help you to do a number of things.   You will be able to add buttons to your tool bar and bookmark your favourite websites but the Google toolbar has some much more useful functions for optimisation.

Firstly the tool bar has a Google search function which makes instant suggestions as you type in words you’re searching for.  This can be useful for optimisation as it gives you possible examples of search phrases that people might use to find a website.

Secondly the toolbar has the Page Rank feature this is very useful for SEO.  The PageRank feature will tell you the ranking that Google has given the webpage.  If click on the drop down menu on the button there are 3 options – Cached Snapshot of Page, Similar Pages and Backwards Links.

Cached Snapshot of Page – The cache is the snapshot taken of the page as it was crawled by the Google bot.  This lets you know if your page has been indexed by Google and whether it is in the search engine or not.

Similar Pages – This function supplies you with a list of related websites.

Backwards Links - This function shows you some of the links from other sites to your site.
