The link worked for me, but...
I followed the setup instructions after downloading it and can't seem to get the results after the links in Google?
Tailslide it's a firefox extension that's not located on the usual firefox extensions page.
Edit: I just went to the link to get some more info and it's not working for me now either.

I think the server has taken too many hits and is down.
(It's hot news right now evidently).
I'm sure they will get it up after while.
I fixed the link in the first post to a more significant page.

Interesting:
I'd given up on this extension working for me, but have just clicked a link supplied by Jaybee in another thread dealing with web development contracts. It was to the Google UK site and up came all the stats alongside each result.
This just hasn't happened for me with any search I've performed in Google since downloading this extension, does anyone know if it only works on Google UK and presumably Google US [Google Central]
If so, does anyone else know how I can stop Google defaulting to the Australian version each time I simply type in Google.com ?
Thanks
Nicole

A footprint is any evidence that you may leave behind.
When you log into your Google accont certainly your IP is logged - maybe more. That is one kind of footprint. For a while, I used to query Overture scores agains thousands of domain names. I should have known better.... One day my program stopped working - Overture had banned my IP. I couldn't even visit my Overture PPC account.
A more famous example (in the SEO world) is the blueline.gif issue of Webposition Gold. The WPG program became a problem to search engines (using too many system resources supposedly) and they decided to do something about it. WPG had an image named blueline that it used on all client doorway sites. AltaVista decided to whack most/all sites that had that specific image or footprint. Search SEO Consultants for blueline to read more.
Web rings were another footprint that I think most people know about.
Recently, Google seemed to penalize sites that were participating in a link trading Coop. Again, there was a footprint of the program on the trading pages.
There are certain things you can do that is like waving a flag at the search engines - IMO, being one of the first to sign up for the Google Sitemap program was a dead giveaway that you were hanging around Search Marketers. Google seems to have a thing for catching easy victims and if you are running the SEO for Firefox program you ARE leaving footprints. Whether or not they do anything with that information is yet to be known...
Then again, I err on the side of paranoia

No Mojo, you aren't.
I view it like someone trying to hack my network. I look for ANY bread crumbs to track them down. Why wouldn't a major corp. do the same thing?
Take care,
Brian
