After Nick announced the free Linkscape API, I decided to write a SEO extension for chrome. I wanted to focus on all aspects of SEO and not just linking (like some other extensions) as well as a fast clean UI. I organized data from the page and external signals into 5 categories: External Page Data, Page Elements, Social Media, Page Terms, Server / Domain Info, and Suggestions as well as enhancing some common SEO related sites like Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Analytics
Install the SEO SIte Tools extention and see for yourself... it's only one click and you won't be disappointed.
External Page Data shows domain metrics link links and rank
- Linking to page and domain from Yahoo
- Page Authority, Domain Authority and links from SEOmoz
- Alexa popularity (with graph) links
- Google index date and PageRank along with domain trends
- Dmoz listing and compete.com data
Social Media pulls shares and bookmarks from a number of places
- Page Diggs and Domain Diggs
- Recent tweets about the page along with total number of tweets
- Facebook shares, likes and comments
- Reddit points
- Delicious bookmarks
Page Terms displays relevant page elements to SEO
- Meta Robots
- Meta Description
- Anchor tags and follow attribute)
- Header tags (H1-H5)
- Bold/Strong
- I/Em
- Meta Keywords
Server / Domain Info checks the domain's IP and country and displays it on a map along with registrar information and WhoIs info
Suggestions gives helpful on-page SEO suggestions about title tag, links on page, meta description, meta keywords (hey it can’t hurt)
Page Terms (still a work in progress) performs term extraction and lets you do keyword research with Google’s keyword research tool
It also has ability to enhance Google Webmaster Tools with links anchor text, if they are followed links and mozRank (or PageRank) of linking pages
Adds Social media reactions to Google Analytics page details with Facebook shares, likes and comments as well as Delicious bookmarks and Diggs
It also adds the link and anchor text info to Yahoo Site Explorer with mozRank (or PageRank)
It is still being developed so I would love any feedback you could give me on it…
Some future plans are:
- Keyword search volume in Webmaster Tools
- Indexed pages in Google, Yahoo and Bing
- Improved keyword research tools
- More site suggestion information
- StumbleUpon share data

Get in touch with me on twitter I'm @cartercole and follow me for updates of new releases (but if you install the plug-in it will automatically update) [highly recommended] :)
Very very nice. I use chrome in a limited manner. Will there be a firefox version in the future?
ive been getting a bunch of requests for a Firefox version and looking at the development articles for Firefox extensions i dont think it would be too hard to port over to Firefox... it will probably come in the future once i have had some time to play with writing simpler Firefox add-ons
I vote Firefox plugin too! :)
Also I dident see this in the on-page section, but if you could punch in a keyword and get specific data (like times mentioned in title, body, strong, em etc.) as well as the keyword highlighted on page this could replace quirk search status for me...
Thums up for the excellent work!
great suggestion... i was thinking of doing something like that... ill add it to the list
Yes, a firefox version would be awesome.
+1 for that : )
I second (or third?) that! Firefox extension would be great. I like to keep all my tools on one belt!
Yeah me too, having a Firefox plug in would be great...
pretty please...
Don't forget the SEOmoz Firefox Toolbar. :)
Hey, Jen, any chance to get some of the features from this Chrome bar into the FF toolbar? It's good so far definitely but there's always room for improvements ;-)
We have an update in the works, to be released ver soon. Shhhhh ;)
yep on dont want to step on mozbar toes is why i decided on chrome plugin for the first place :)
thanks for the reminder about the toolbar.
the toolbar page doesn't mention that it also works for windows 7.
i just installed it and all was fine.
I am trying to add the tool bar to Firefox windows 7 - 64 bit to no avail. Any suggestions?
Just have to say that the more I use this plugin the more I love it. I was using Webmasters the other day and nearly exploded with a rage when stuff was getting crossed out then remembered that it was your plugin.
Absolutely loving it.
I didn't really see myself moving on from Firefox, but this might be the tipping point. Great work!
My chrome is a happier browser with this :)
It looks really sturdy. Nice job! I'd also love a FF version of this ^.^
Yet, i'm using Chrome again for this. Thanks :)
Tola, it's not a joke, it's a proven info.
The original author of Chrome SEO extension is Tudor Mateescu.
Look here: https://www.seomator.com/blog/our-seo-for-chrome-toolbar-was-stolen-and-attributed-by-google-to-the-thief/
The person that you're talking about in the blog article is called Sean Bannister and not Carter Cole which is, as far as I'm aware, the name of neopunisher, the creator of this extension.
Am I being a noob here or is there a setting out of place??
When I click on the little icon next to the address bar, nothing happens??!?
Should there be a pop up window or something??
A quick reboot of Chrome, and all is good - the old "Turn it off and on again" still holds true!
once installed you may have to refresh the page so it can inject its scripts to analyze the page... seems like you figured it out :)
Great extension, thanks for the effort!
Great stuff, Carter! I'm really glad to see you chose to develop this yourself and release it to the SEO community. What a great tool.
thanks for all your help with the beta man...
I'm really excited to see this released. Nice work!
Wow Carter! I think you are going to hit a new record of thumbs up for a single post.
Congratulations on your awesome success with this plug in!
Awesome tool and may be something that will finally get me using Chrome more often. Just one small thing: under suggestions, it only picks up phone numbers in what I assume is a US format. I know it's going to be hard to cover the formats of all countries, so may be it would be better not to mention it?
what country format do you need? if you send them to me ill add them and add ability to change phone detection country in options
Thank you so much for this, neopunisher, it's absolutely amazing
This is brilliant. This is going to save me so much time! Thank you!!!
Nice... This is my first SEO tools in chrome, 8 hour after installing I used more this tool than the usual firefox adds-on... maybe because this is different than the usual adds-on I have.
Anyway, awesome job and looking forward for the update in the tools.
phew! ok looks like chrome extension gallery is back up... you can all go get the install package again now and dont forget to rate the extension...
thanks for the great feedback and enjoy the plugin!
I am getting a lot of "Failed to inject context script" under "Suggestions" as well as other categories. It is doing the same thing on both of my PC's.
if you click on the icon before the page has finished loading that can happen... what urls specifically are you having issues with?
this tip solved Failed to inject context script... great tool ,thanks a lot
This is Super Cool and amazing extension....Great Work..
From a heavy Chrome user: Thanks a lot!
Been playing around with the extension for a day now and it is great for quick discovery. Along with the bookmarks from Rand's recent post I am thinking bye bye Firefox.
Keep up the great work :)
yep i tried to choose the best bookmarks to make available in the tool... would you add any?
Awesome tool and may be something that will finally get me using Chrome more often.
Looks great. I just added it. This extension seems to be much better than the other SEO chrome extensions. I've been looking for something as good as the Search Status Firefox plugin from Quirk.
Very nice. Thank you for this.
Great Extension!! I'm with everyone else who expressed interest in a version for Firefox. Thanks alot.
Great tool, but are you sure social interactions are working ok? I checked my blog and it isn't nearly right regarding Facebook, where I have a fan page with a lot of links to the blog.
if you send me the url ill look into it...
https://umfernandopessoa.blogspot.com
i see 3 shares of you main blog url on Facebook... its looking at only the current page not the domain as a whole so that may be you problem...
I doubt most people using this extension or reading this post realize your only 22 years old. Think you got a fantastic future ahead of you. Thanks for sharing with the community.
wow you did your homework... and its funny that you mention my age you should have seen this lawyer when i walked into his office and started telling him what he needed to do to fix his site(all flash stuffing meta keywords with no links whatsoever) and he was like "how old are you..."
its been so cool to see the response ive gotten and im glad i could create a tool that is so useful to the industry... ive already started using it to do assessments on clients websites(and the reactions on the pages as I pushed it out) ill continue to add features as I think of them to make sure it remains the best chrome extension for SEO...
This is awesomely great!! Thanks!! Thanks for sharing this, helps very well for making report. Highly recommended!!
theres an export function coming...
I was about to post a comment and suggest this features but you already plan it. This is just awesome. Keep up the good work.
Ill rate the extension this afternoon!
Also, one thing. I've been testing this extension with my own code and I've made sure that all img tags have alt and title attributes. Even though I have both alt="" and title="" in the code to conform to different browsers that use both image tag attributes, the img alt portion of the suggestions box says that the page isn't utilizing any alt attributes (it says the site isn't using img alt tags to their fullest - 0 are missing) and it lists it as not having alt text even though the page does.
thats the second bug :) ill fix that and push out an update thanks for the response...
i decided to not include the title tags because they apparently dont really have any effect... i cried when i heard that from rand because i have defiantly spent some time adding them but aside from usability standpoint they dont matter (let me know if this isn't true and what makes you believe that and ill add it in)
thanks for help with the testing and such
This is very cool indeed. I'm sure there'll be more take up of Chrome with web developers in the widest sense if decent extensions like this one for SEO get build. Goodness it's got a long, long way to go to rival the amazing array of tools out there for Firefox, for sure.
Looking forward to trying your extension today ... best wishes for its success.
SEO SIte Tools next to firebug is most usefull chrome extension.
Hello,
How do you count the media social part for the analyse ?
Thanks for this. I just fired up a new computer and re-looked at chrome extensions. I installed Chrome SEO and pretty much decided to lay that one to rest. After finding your though, I think I found a new toy! Thanks
Suggestion tab is very impressive.
https://webzpot.blogspot.com/2010/07/best-google-chrome-seo-addons-for.html
Hi it''s my first time here, I'm glad I found SEOmoz & I agree with Firefox request but seen as that's for the future I'm going to download your Chrome version & give chrome a go
Thanks SEO Pepinfo
P.S. Page bookmarked
After seeing your post in the top 2010 most commented list I decided to revisit it and say that I still use your Chrome SEO site tool. Thanks again for sharing.
Ottimo strumento, lo sto testando è mi sembra abbastanza interessante per un analisi SEO veloce.
I have to say Carter, I've started using SEO Site Tools today properly and it's a complete pleasure. I'm using it alongside Chrome SEO and the two are perfect.
Great work.
Also, not sure if it was you, but it has change from brown to grey on my system, is that right?
thats the theme you can change it in the options
Thanks for the clarification but I found that out myself the day after posting this and felt like an idiot.
The strange thing, however, is that the theme changed by itself and then changed back? Not once did I navigate to the theme selection page whilst using Chrome and then after a restart it reverted.
Great work.
hmm i may have to look at the variable that stores what theme you are using make sure im not doing something funky
Oh, it was FONKY!
There was another problem too, I think something in the script didn't load properly and it was jumping up and down like mad.
dude...this is an awesome extension
Holy crap this is exploding in popularity!! Nice work Carter! I'm really happy to see this take off :)
yep its pretty cool... glad to see i wrote something that people really like... too bad the one time Google app engine goes down is the day this gets promoted to the main blog... ugh so LAME :(
i got tons of more features up my sleeves so everyone should see the updates as they flow through... based on response im working on a "light" theme... apparently not everyone likes the dark :)
i plan to have robots.txt validation and ability to query a sites robots.txt to see if its crawlable
im also working on adding keyword search volume to the keywords section of Google Webmaster Tools and enhancing the SERPS of Yahoo, Bing and Google with linkscape data
Very cool. Let me know if you need anything API-wise :)
BTW, our API traffic is way up for the last day or so. Somehow, I think you're a big part of that :P
Thanks to this page.... I am now a almost Chrome fan!
Thank you very much for information..But I use to SEO Paketleri SeoQuake Extension for chromeplus
Regards
Tasarım Plaza
i agree with @carfeu
seems the social interactions not quite there. but i love it and i like it alot ...great pplugin...
and i am kinda having problems with the pagerank showing in the serps... i copied the link location and gave me a 403 error ...
-- removed link - Jen
rather than having you computer pull the pagerank and get Google mad at you for pulling it too may times i was using a remote script... its having some trouble and im working to fix it...
Seo site tools show my site https://joomir.com server / domain info phone number 00989122062307. where this plugin get this phone number and how can i remove or edit this phone number.
Thanks alot
This pulls your WHOIS information, so that could be what you're seeing.
Looks good. I had some issues with Chrome and been using FF. I think it might be time to reinstall since your screenshots and see how I can benefit from it.
I'm loving the extension - extremely impressed!!
I do seem to have a bug with the Yahoo Site Explorer augmentation though.. I could see the anchor text etc info for a while, then it disappeared, and now I can't get it back. I've tried toggling the setting on and off, uninstalling and reinstalling, closing and re-opening chrome, and refreshing page etc. Somehow I feel I must be missing something, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas?
the call to augment yahoo site explorer pulls from yahoo servers and they have a 2000 queries an hour limit so you may be hitting that... it uses xpath to do the search and has been quite pickey about the link so im currently working on another way to provide this functionality and give faster / better results
Hey - just made the switch to Chrome and am enjoying the extension. One thing - when the extension is enabled - all nofollow links on SEOmoz.com are highlighted in red. Some other site's nofollow links are not highlighted (ie-wikipedia) but others are. I can't find an option in the extension to toggle nofollow highlighting on/off so I'm a little perplexed. Any one else having this issue?
How annoying, will have to wait to download what sounds like a KICK ASS extension.
Thanks for the hard work. I am going to install and try it out for a few days.
Thanks a ton. Nice plugin.
Was waiting for something like this to be able to use chrome more when developing (Firefox is driving me crazy with slowness).
Keep it up.
Brilliant! Will use this every day :)
Wow!! This is really good stuff, well done Neo.
I wasn't a great fan of Chrome for SEO in the past but this is definitely gonna make me reconsider that... Will definitely be having a play with it.
Thanks!
Hi, this tool looks really good. However I have a n00b question.... Will this slow my chrome down if I install it? I hate to be a damp squib but I love the fact that chrome is lightning fast and I don't really want to go about installing extensions if it'll start slowing chrome down?
Thanks
I just tried it and it does not seem to mess with the speed.
All the data are retrieved from the different sources only when clicking on the magnifying glass except for the mR or at least it seems to work that way :)
Thanks a lot neo for this great extension!
you should have no problem with slowness... it only does one really small HTTP get to pull the mozRank or PageRank as you visit each page... it does all it work when you click on the SEO Site Tools icon and its still lightning fast :)
let me know of any bugs or feature requests anyone can think of
tools cannot be trusted sometimes. you must not depend on tools bro. you need to have your skills in SEO. for instance, what if these tools will not work one day? see? did you get my point? but yes i can also tell that tools are good for they will help hasten the campaign.
Great post and nice extension!.....
Now shows bing and yahoo indexation stats
i was up all last night stuffing in new features...
it now does:
bing and yahoo indexation has a window sizer (thank @jennita's comment from pro webinar)
it can kill most any script that disables right click
graphs and shows count of types of anchors on page
img alt tags on page
does phone number detection for local listings and business pages
detects stop words in title
looks at page size to make sure its not too big to be indexed (150k max)
checks for gzip compression
i just released it so im sure there will be bugs and feature requests... just post them here or get in touch with me on twitter (im @cartercole) lets make this a great plugin and let me what i can do to help
Now look what you've done! You made me a Chrome'r. Thanks a mill, man!
Freakin' awesome! What a great tool! Thanks man.
Great Plug-in thanks for all your effort. What I like most about it is how little space it takes up on your screen when not in use. I tend to use firefox for all my research then switch back to chrome when browsing just for the extra screen space and this wont get in the way of that.
Nice work :o)
Awesome tool! under the suggestions it thought that "use" in the word "houses" was a stop word. aside from that its workin great!
ap you found a bug :) ill have it look for spaces around the stop word and not just the word... ill fix that and push out the update.
Thanks for the extension.
I found pretty uncomfortable that the window within the details is closed every time I switch between the tabs, so forcing me to click and reload everything all the time.
The keyword extractor looks imperfect, I got keyword like density or class that definitely don't belong to the site I analyzed.
the window closing is a symptom of the way chrome does the popup window for the extension... i may try and have the ability to pop out in the future so it doesn't reload every time... but so far it runs so fast its not a big deal to have it pull each time
term extraction is in beta but basically what it does is take a snapshot of all the text on the page and then send it off to be analyzed by an external service... this can mess with sites that use frames... what url were you having trouble with?
ive now added popout functionality just for you... :) actually a few asked for it but you were first...
Way to go neo. As I'm mainly an Opera/Firefox user, I've been avoiding Chrome, but if you wait too long to port it over to Firefox, I may have to add a third browser to my toolbox.
Just installed, looks pretty nice. I have been waiting a while for a good SEO extension for chrome as I use Chrome for most of my browsing.
Thanks for hard work. Will share it around.
Very cool - I've missed some of this stuff since I had to abandon Firefox for Chrome. I end up booting up my laptop just to use the Moz toolbar.
Wow! This tool looks awesome. Thanks much
Awesome work Carter, you've obviously put in a ton of effort to add all these features into the tool.
I've just installed it and surfed around a handful of pages checking out the info available. Very impressed so far and really looking forward to giving it a lengthier test drive.
Good work fella.
Holy cow! spectacular stuff, Neopunisher.... shame I am in the middle of a job application and cant put my time to test these tools right now, but the little I've seen looks amazing.... I'd bet your going to land some job offers after this... hey, well done and thanks for sharing!!
This is an absolutely AMAZING tool! I am truly impressed with all of the features! Very well done sir!
I do, however, have one minor nitpick. There is no such thing as an image alt tag. It should, technically be referred to as the alt. text attribute of the image tag. :)
This is an awesome tool. Keep up the fabulous work!
it is the alt attribute of the img tag... ill fix that for you :)
Wow NEO...
1st: you're giving me a reason to use Chrome & Firefox at the same time.
2nd: you did a great work, especially with all the integrations with GA and GWTools... Wish future integration also in Bing Webmaster Central.
i was going to do that but didn't get much data from my bing webmaster tools so i held off... ill add it to the list for ya :)
I'm not easily impressed by browser add-ons, but seriously, wow. This is an excellent resource for SEOs and I haven't even dug around with the more advanced features yet. Very sleek and I haven't had any usability problems yet. I'd say you shouldn't be messing about in SEO with those skills ;)
Great extension Carter, not sure about the dark UI (though it suits your overall online brand), but it's good! :-)
This is so brilliant. Amazing work! You've definitely created a more practical era for chrome. I'm with the other mozzers above with regards to the firefox version...it would be extremely helpful.
Thanks for creating/sharing such an innovative tool.
I see nothing in Google Analytics with Social Media. Are there certain requirements for this feature to work???
i haven't had any reports of issues yet you it may be something specific to your site... if you give me the url its trying to test i can run the scripts (from my computer) and see why the data pulls are failing for you...
The Social Media information is just not showing up in Google Analytics. It might certainly be our own scripts. There are several sites we track and our scripts are quite unique.
The site is store.mayer-johnson.com
Let's just say it takes a lot to make me yell "freakin awesome" first thing in the morning.
There are a few small usability issues, but those'll be hashed out over time I'm sure.
Phenomenal job on this. Seriously.
what issues are you having? im trying to compile a list of bugs (ive resolved them all so far) and feature requests so you can let me know here or on twitter... again im @cartercole
Just a couple of small things:
1) The dark color scheme (minor)
2) The duration of the "slide" animation - in the "page elements" section where the tables contain more info they can take a while to slide up/down
3) It would be great to be able to resize the extension window to display more/less info - but I haven't seen that on any extensions yet so I'm thinking it's a limitation of Chrome...
Though I don't want to complain, you did a bang-up job and created a tool that, for me at least, fills a big hole in browser functionality.
This is excellent, one of the reasons I'm still on Firefox is because of some of the SEO plugins, specifically SEO Quake. Now that this has been created, I'll be able to move across to Chrome and enjoy a faster surfing experience!
Thanks Punisher!
Oh! No! Not installing on my Chrome on Mac! :(
Strange, mine installed on Chrome with a Mac just fine. You sure it's not there? https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4384549527_440f58907a_m.jpg
you may need the dev build of chrome for mac... i dont think production version has extensions enabled yet...
and btw just my luck the chrome extension store has gone down right as my post started getting a lot of attention... ill post when its back up...
WANT!
This sounds awesome, but as noted, it's kicking out a server error.
I'll keep trying though!
see above post about extension store down :(
Ok I finally have a reason to try chrome (again). Thank goodness it installed without crashing for the first time.
This extension is awesome; I really hope you keep on developing it.
That link to the google extension didn't work for me...
Error: Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.
If the problem persists, please report your problem and mention this error message and the query that caused it.
yeah, didn't work for me either. I just downloaded chrome, got all excited, then server error...day ruined for now.
see above :( the google chrome extension gallery decided to up and die today
ill post when its back up... just keep checking back the big G (google) is working on it...
you can see app status here https://code.google.com/status/appengine
Very nice!
I just gave this plugin a whirl on some of my sites and I almost creamed my pants. This is Teh AwesomeNess.
Same same :-) Great job. First chrome extension i will keep. Guess you just won a lot of fans :)
Wow, I love this! It's simple and self explanatory, has a clean interface...and it works nicely too. I've run a couple of sites through it and it gets the right data each time, and is even pointing out areas I've missed - brilliant!
I'm not a big user of Chrome though, so a Firefox extension would be even better in the long run :)
Wow, great work ! This is the first seo extension on Chrome that i will keep.
Fantastic ! I use chorme all the time because it's sooooo fast, but I always had to come back to firefox for the seo toolbars. Thank you for the great tool and keep up the good work !
This extension has all the capabilities I need from the use of 2 already existing ones. Great work man, your long nights will pay off for us all!
Great work with this extension. It's really a good way to analyze the SEO of a website in a quick way, and to give hints about methods that could be used to optimize it in multiple ways.
Best of all - Many of these hints (see rules) seems to be based on SEOmoz intelligence, such as Title length, META description etc...
Worth installing!
Great tool.Awesome. How do I integrate it with adwords analythics?
i agree with [email protected]
I heard a lot about that stolen extension and this guy who likes to cheat. By the way [email protected] talks about Sean Bannister's comment upper, not about an article.
Ah I see, apologies for that then. I misunderstood. People need to begin to reply to the commenter itself and not the entire comment thread, it gets a bit confusing.
Ah I see, apologies for that then. I misunderstood. People need to begin to reply to the commenter itself and not the entire comment thread, it gets a bit confusing.
hey Sean Bannister, you are not an author of that extension, you stole it! And logo too. Poor cheater, have fun.
And if i say on topic, so i think there exist one really good extension for chrome - SeoQuake, by he way updated a few days ago. If you're interested you may download it here: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/akdgnmcogleenhbclghghlkkdndkjdjc
Is this a joke???
He doesn't get it ... does he?
Awesome. Really useful extension but how do I make it work with adwords?
By the way there's an update of SeoQuake for Chrome, you might like it - https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/akdgnmcogleenhbclghghlkkdndkjdjc :)
didnt the thumbs down on your last spam let you know its not wanted?
By the way there are SeoQuake for Chrome - just look!
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/akdgnmcogleenhbclghghlkkdndkjdjc
i plan to have feature parody from the useful parts of other SEO extensions ive seen...in fact to create mine i downloaded almost every SEO user script and toolbar i could find and then pick and choose what features would be the best signals for SEO and not just a bunch of random data pulls... i dont like how intrusive the SeoQuake extension is but i am currently writing code that will augment the search results of major search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo
Hey guys,
I'm the author of "Chrome SEO" another SEO extension for Chrome. We have about 100,000 installs and we're the 13th most installed extension in Google Chrome. Thought you might also like to check it out :
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/oangcciaeihlfmhppegpdceadpfaoclj
this guy happen to see my extension while it was in beta because he was monitoring twitter and offered me a job developing his extension... i declined because i couldn't really accept a job from someone outside the US and couldn't part with the code i had already written... he does scraping to get most of his data and it is doesn't provide anything as far as on page elements analysis or social media reactions and at one point was scraping open site explorer for its data... my extension is now in direct competition with his and shows much of the same data excluding some sources i left out because they didnt seem too useful to me while doing SEO because the data so unreliable (like scraping google link: command which delivers different numbers every time) i hope yall can help made my extension the best SEO plugin for chrome and all the feedback ive gotten so far is awesome :) thanks all...
I think the fact that the guy came on here to promote his product clearly shows he is trying to ride on your coat-tails! Great work, although, now I have to download Chrome! You getting any kickbacks from Google on this?? haha!
Especially going to love the Social interaction data in G.A.
Just curious why you say "i couldn't really accept a job from someone outside the US.."... does that mean that I won't be able to ask you to collaborate with me (or others) on some projects just because I live out of the US? It would be such a big shame (for me)... 'cause you are proving to be a great value.
heres how it breaks down... i would love to work with all of yall that would be freaking awesome... i didnt want to take job because i would have to pay 15% self employment tax and then figure out exchange rates and it would kick me into another tax bracket but thats all the excuse i told myself so i didnt feel stupid for not taking the money :) really i wanted the recognition and to get my name out there and i couldn't part with my lovely code...
mine was already almost in production and i was going to release it and working on his would have delayed me putting anything out for at least another 2 weeks...
Thumbs up Neopunisher for being a Ninja and developing this awesome extension.
Thumbs Down SeanBannister for trying to hijack via comment.
