Wordtracker is one of the online services that webmasters use for keyword research. The service basically allows webmasters and search engine optimizers to enter a keyword and get estimations of how many times that keyword and related keywords get searched by users in search engines. Many webmasters optimize their websites and blog posts according to the results posted on keyword research sites. It is a bit more complicated than to simply pick the top performing keywords as additional research is required to estimate how easy it is to rank for these keywords. Yes, estimations are a big part of the SEO world..

The Wordtracker SEO Blogger add-on for the Firefox web browser brings the keyword research capabilities to a Firefox sidebar. Webmasters can display or hide the sidebar with a single click on the Wordtracker button that is being added to the Firefox status bar after installing the add-on.

The sidebar is divided into two sections. The first offers a search form where the keyword that the user wants to research can be entered. A list of matches will then be displayed in that section detailing the keyword and the number of searches according to Wordtracker. Each keyword has an Add link next to it which can be used to add that keyword to the second section of the sidebar.

Added keywords are displayed there including their usage on the current website. This can be interesting for users who write articles in their web browsers. It is also helpful to analyze a page on a website to get a count on the keywords that are used on that website.

SEO Blogger is an interesting Firefox add-on for webmasters who regularly do keyword research at the Wordtracker website. The keywords are limited to the first 30 results which means that it might take a few searches before all possible keyword combinations are discovered.
