Designed by <a href="http://www.quirk.biz">Quirk</a> for search engine marketers, this toolbar provides extensive search engine related information about a site, all conveniently displayed in one discreet and compact toolbar placed at the bottom right of your Firefox browser. </p>

This combined cocktail of search-related data means you can view not only the link importance of a site (according to Google), but also its traffic importance (according to Alexa and Compete), so providing a balanced view of site quality.</p>
