    Default Gabe, a question about that Alexa toolbar....

    Will one of these toolbars listed here work?

    http://pages.alexa.com/exec/faqsidos...html?index=127

    Do you think they will still affect your rating in Alexa?

    Because I use Firefox and just can't bear to use IE. I can't, can't, can't. (Well, I can, I just really don't like to.)

    "What are Alexa's offerings for the Firefox browser?
    Common Questions

    While we do not have immediate plans to develop an Alexa Toolbar for the Firefox browser, all is not lost. You have some choices:

    * Ask FireFox to include Alexa. In 1998, Alexa built a feature for both Netscape and Mozilla browsers called What's Related. Unfortunately that feature is not included in the FireFox browser. Write a note (http://www.mozilla.org/contact/) to the folks at Mozilla/Firefox to let them know you want Alexa AND FireFox.
    * Build Your Own Alexa Toolbar. Because Firefox is an open source browser, an enterprising developer might make use of that functionality and our Web Information Services Feed to create such a toolbar.
    * Some developers have already built FireFox toolbars incorporating Alexa. You can find them here:
    o A9 Toolbar. Our sister company, A9 has a toolbar for Firefox.
    o SearchStatus. Quirk has built a small toolbar that shows Alexa Rank and Google PageRank.
    o About This Site. Gina Trapani at scribbling.net built a handy plugin. "

    good question.
    If you use firefox go in the plugin manager and download the extension of the alexa toolbar.

    The direct link for the extension to download is here:
