All of us at SEOmoz are proud to announce that in addition to doubling the size of the Linkscape index today, we are publicly releasing our own Firefox toolbar! The developers and PRO member beta testers have been hard at work prodding, poking and tweaking the toolbar to make sure it is fine tuned and ready for today.

The toolbar, which we are affectionately calling the mozBar, will reveal many of the link metrics currently only accessible through Linkscape reports, as well as offer quick access to the SEOmoz tools and other sections of the site.

With the new mozBar, PRO members will be able to see mozRank™ (mR), mozTrust™ (mT), Domain mozRank™ (DmR), Domain mozTrust™ (DmT), Google PageRank™ and the amount of external links for any URL they visit. All without having to click anything.

Non-Pro Members can download the toolbar as well. However, they won't be able to see as many metrics as their paying counterparts. (I blame the recession!)

Additionally, the mozBar offers easy access to all of the SEOmoz tools. For example, clicking on the Backlink Analysis button will send the user to the Backlink Analysis tool pre-populated with the user's current URL.
 

All you have to do is click which tool you want to run and...

Presto! The page is loaded and the fields are pre-populated.

On a final and more serious note, all of us at SEOmoz take your privacy extremely seriously. We have put an immense amount of time and effort into creating procedures and policies that ensure users' privacy. You can read more about our plans on the mozBar privacy policy page.
