Monetizing Firefox Extensions

Posted on by

I pull in a steady stream of trafic of people looking for a way to export firefox extensions. The solutions is of course more extensions (go have a read :-) ). That’s all good and well, but I’ve been thinking on ways to monetize that type of trafic. The problem is that these particulatr searchers have a quite well defined need: exporting their extensions. No need to offer them a Google referral programme like this:

I’ve been trying with adsense units too, but they don’t convert either. I’m not into prOn or poker – and so I decided to try affiliating for a hosting company I’ve been looking at: AN Hosting. They have pretty cheap hosting and they support the wordpress community (woot). There’s one click wordpress installation and so on and so forth. I figured that people searching for firefox extensions would be more prone to be interrested in cheap web hosting than people browsing for say Foosball tutorials.

The sign up is easy and there’s a long range of banners, buttons and links for the affiliate marketer to frolic in. Go have a look at their affiliate program (oh – and that’s an affiliate link too :-) )

Anyways – here’s the banner from AN Hosting – not too pretty, but cheap it is:

Yndiggør dine adsense annoncer

Faldt over et spændende lille plugin – adsense beautifier, der ud over at lægge små listige billeder i acceptabel (men alligevel CTR-øgende) afstand fra en given adsense-blok, også er et formidabelt eksempel på større teknisk indsigt end engelskkundskaber. Så gå hen og tjek det ud. Gud lak :-)

No WWW

No WWW er løsningen hvis du som jeg ikke er meget begejstret for de 3 W i internetadressen. Meget, meget simpelt. Download. Upload. Aktivér. Og så kan kan prale af at være: Class C

Hvis man hellere vil beholde sine W’er, kan man bruge dette plugin. Under alle omstændigheder bør man I et SEO-perspektiv vælge om man vil det ene eller det andet.

En ting er at et website ofte både vises med og uden www. EN anden ting er når et website ikke lader folk se indholdet uden www. Det har jeg brokket mig over for lang tid siden.

The Randomizer Plugin

- I’ve been looking for that :-) And there it was – right under my nose… Randomize Plugin is simple and easily implemented to render various randomizing tasks…

I’m especially happy to see that there is an image randomizer, which I’ll test soonish.

– do take a look at the host of other usable plugins form andersdrengen.

Tags in the head

Ever wanted an easy way to add tags as keywords to your posts? Ever wanted to use the excerpt as meta description? I have. And until now, I’ve been using the Headspace Plugin (quite a good plugin, but requires some tinkering and tampering).

Enter Tags in the head. Basically, you gain same results using the two plugins – Tags in the head is just soooo much easier to use…

After installing the nifty plugins simpletags and ultimate tag warrior, I can reccomend this guide to modifying and adding quicktags to your wordpress interface – guide to quicktags.

I still play around with UTW – someday I just migth take the plunge and tag it all instad of catgegorizing – see tag/category considerations here (actually, the process has been initiated, but the full conversion is yet to come).

How to export firefox extensions

Using different computers at work and at home prompts me to look for a way to export firefox extensions from one computer to another. Currently I am using 30+ extensions @ work, but I’ve only gotten around to install a handfull @ home.

Now two extensions will let you export/backup your extensions (FEBE) and even package your extensions in .xpi files for easy sharing with others (CLEO) – go have fun :-)

If you need proof that it works go see my firefox extensions. Here I also made a test package of my favorite firefox extensions for you to download.

History:

UPDATE 3:Ashley left wonderful information, linkting to a couple of extensions that will backup firefox themes and extensions.

Update 2: I’ve started to map all extensions and possible solutions to export firefox extensions on this page.

Update: MozBackup only supports backup for predifined extensions… The site invites users to ask for other extensions to be imported, but there’s quite a gap between the existing list to my list.

The solution would be some kind of export function for extensions. Googling leads me here , but I’d rather have a list of urls to the various extensions’ locations and then install them from their sources.
Anyhows MozBackup seems to be the best option at the moment, but as it is a program running on my laptop, I’m not too keen on that solution.

(actually, I found MozBackup via this site – which is in turkish, I think)

FireFTP extension

I am currently testing FireFTP to upgrade this little blog to WordPress2.
FireFTP is a nice extension to Firefox and has the basic ftp stuff: upload, download, and chmodding. The FTP opens in its own tab and has an astoundingly clean cut interface. I would recommend this extension to anyone in need of basic FTP features, but with little interrest in installing ‘ free’ or paid-for programmes.

Update:
Wordpress2 now installed – no fuzz, no stress. Only bump on the way was to learn to always backup before upgrading (or atleast omit to delete config-file…)

Firefox blogging extension

This is a test post with a blogging firefox extension from performancing.com – the extension gives you easy access to your blogs. A nice feature is the split window that lets you drag and drop content dircectly into your blog post.

It will also allow you to drag lists, headings and even images…

(quote was dragged and dropped).

I miss the shortcuts I use in the normal editing window, though, so I’ll have to drop a comment on that.
