Now SEO Book has come out with a new SEO toolbar for Firefox. This is going to be great for affiliate marketers. This tool bar is going to make it easy to see whether something is worth doing or not.

Note: You will have to sign up for a free account. You must supply your email address and choose a user name before you can download the Firefox SEO Toolbar. It’s worth the effort.

Once you download and install your Firefox SEO toolbar you’ll have to restart your computer and then you’ll have to configure the toolbar but the instructions are good.

Besides giving you PageRank information about a website, some other information the Firefox SEO toolbar will provide is:

• The Age of the site
