    I don't like Alexa and couple of other social bookmarking toolbars, they keep spying on me. I'll pass too :)

    If the toolbar screwes your firefox and you can't start it after the installation, don't think of reinstalling firefox. You could start FF in safe mode by going to start menu/all programs (or just programs)/mozilla firefox/start firefox in safe mode (or something like that). It happened to me. I couldn't start firefox after the installation of this toolbar, and the only solution was to uninstall it. I prefer SearchStatus as my FF seo widget.

    * Rank - Shows the traffic rank of the site.

    * Reach Indicator - Provides a qualitative view of whether a site’s rank is good or bad.

    * Related Links - Provides up to 10 Related links in the browser’s File | Edit | View menu.

    * Shortcuts - Clicking on Sparky brings up a menu of other handy shortcuts, including Alexa Detail pages, Cached Pages, Search Pages and more.

    I agree, I've used searchstatus for a while and it tells me everything I need. Don't really see the need for a toolbar when you have a much more compact (and useful) extension.

    i have installed it and i don't see a problem. you install Google toolbar and we know Google collects informations not just about the sites we visit but also the emails we read - gmail .
    Alexa is a amazon company ... what i feel is the information they collect is being used to give you a better amazon experience , if anything . I am sure they would not be pushing your info to some other competitors .
    how is a toolbar ( and i mean only alexa or google ) different from a Browser addon like Search Status ? In both cases u are allowing something to sit on your browser

    I think I am going to give it a shot. I could use a boost in my ranking as well.

    From Wikipedia with little editing. ;)

    BTW: Does anybody have it working on FF 2.0.0.4? Because it doesn't seem to work and FF doesn't start at all after installing.
