SEO Doctor Review – Whether you blog, maintain site content or both, SEO Doctor developed by Vladmir Prelovac, is a great tool to help you get every last bit of search engine optimization from your content. This Firefox add-on is marketed as “a modern SEO tool with one simple goal – make your website better optimized for search engines through an easy to understand, step by step, scoring and recommendation system.“ Results provided by SEO Doctor are based, in part, upon Google Webmaster and Image guidelines as well as the Google SEO starter guide.
Features I Like
Feedback – One of the best features I like about this add on is that it provides instant feedback on things that could be easily overlooked otherwise. In fact, as I began to write this review, I went to my OutdoorBlogger homepage using the latest edition of the Firefox browser and, to my surprise, found that I had inadvertently forgotten an alt tag for an image I recently replaced for my membership to the Professional Outdoor Media Association. A great example of a simple error that SEO Doctor can identify that can be easily fixed.
Simplicity – The less I have to think about something, the better for all involved. Happily, once you complete the steps in adding SEO Doctor to your Firefox browser. It becomes nearly automatic to glance down at the bottom of the browser window and make sure you’re doing your part. Green flag = Good to go, Yellow flag = Non critical warnings, Red flag = Concrete SEO elements can be improved, and finally the no trespassing icon means that the page is not indexable at all by search engines.
Features I Don’t Like
No Chrome Love – I admit it…I love the Google’s chrome browser. It’s fast, light, and built for speed. Would I love a version of SEO Doctor for Chrome? Hell Yea! That said, I still perform most of my web development work on FireFox. Partnered with Firebug and the Web Developer Toolbar, my Firefox setup provides a really strong set of tools to aid in my web development. So no, this is not a showstopper.
Firefox Updates – Sometimes updates that Firefox releases render SEO doctor unusable. Whether it be the fault of Firefox or the add on I don’t know. But, I definitely would not let that stop me from using it. Vladmir Prelovac seems to always knock out an upgrade for it pretty quick and your back in business.
So there you have it. If you blog regularly, why not load up Firefox and add SEO Doctor to your arsenal. It’s easy to use, effective, and FREE. And if you love it as much as I do, drop some change in Vladmir’s bucket for a great add on. And yes…I have to say it. It’s always better when the doctor is in.
