Alexa Toolbar for Firefox

25.11.08 | Ilona Erwin | 4 Comments



Firefox didn’t have the Alexa add-on last time I looked… but I looked again and now there is one, “Sparky” for Firefox browsers. That is good news for someone like me that usually uses Firefox…why? Well, if you blog and you have any sort of ad monetization then your alexa rank matters. At least that is what I understand, because I’m just mainly a person who likes to blog and no expert in these matters. But I do know that garden blogging is very low in the charts because their surfers often don’t have this toolbar (it’s the tech sites who have more viewers with these toolbars). Those who surf the web with this are tallied as visitors to the site. ( Someone more knowledgeable is invited to correct me on this).

If I got this right then every time I surf to your site this traffic to your blog is counted. Then, maybe, your blog is more attractive to advertisers. Maybe not, I don’t know… but besides all that I think it is time garden bloggers get their due. We tend to work hard at creating a site that is content rich, full of information, and there are some (I’m not among the ranks) who have such beautiful photos that they rival the best garden magazines.

For those who are more savvy on this I would love your comments…

I have a link to download a personalized Alexa toolbar add-on right here. Feel free to use it.

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

    Not tech savvy here at all. No ads either so it wouldn’t be so helpful to me. But I hope you figure it out as I think you have to like be very on it to get all that techy stuff. Way above me.

    This is the 5th blog I’ve built and people respond the most to a combo of pics and good articles. They like you to be personal and giving of yourself. I left my .com service and said forget it cause I fought with that software forever. The host was just as bad.

    So I’d rather be at wordpress than anywhere. I don’t know much about firefox. I use IE and it makes you nutty sometimes.

    I know at the beginning of this blog I lost more than a few readers due to the fact that I had no pictures. The people agreed: I had to buy a digital camera.
    I post many more pics now, but I suck at photography and really can’t reconcile my champagne taste for fine photos with my beer abilities.
