If you’re relying on just your browser to manage your bookmarks, you’re missing out on a lot of what can be done with them. Delicious is a great way to add a lot of power to your bookmarks, and all you have to do is install an add-on for Firefox or Internet Explorer or a bookmarklet for other browsers.
Tag your bookmarks and group them; add notes; sync them between all your browsers and computers; and share them with others—be sure to comment on the IMWR site about how you’re using this social networking site to increase your IM business.

Frankly, I don’t know much about pay-per-click. I do know that there are websites and desktop applications that will help you “spy” on AdWords advertisers, to find out what keywords they’re bidding on and then use that data to build your own campaigns. And they cost money.
But PPC Web Spy goes right in Firefox as a free extension. Do a search in Google and a “View Keywords” button shows up right next to each AdWords ad. Click the button and you see the keywords the advertiser is bidding on, along with the cost-per-click, the number of clicks they’re getting each day, and more. How easy is that?

SearchStatus is a great way to show the Google PageRank, Alexa rank and Compete ranking of websites you visit anywhere in your browser, along with a fast keyword density analyser, keyword/nofollow highlighting, backward/related links, Alexa info and more.
Add in SeoQuake to show similar data in search engine listings and SEOpen for additional tools and you’ll have a powerful trio of SEO plug-ins for research and optimization.

I make no secret about my dislike of surf exchange programs. I figure any time spent on such exchanges could be much better spent on creating a product or some other type of content. Not all of these programs are worthless, though.
Free Traffic Bar is one that I use every day. Easy and unobtrusive, this browser toolbar has about the same click-thru rate as other programs, without the time investment the others require.
