Improving traffic with a Firefox extension

Hi all,

I am working at developing a Firefox extension that should be of interest to many webmasters.

The goal is to provide an alternative way to SEO for increasing traffic and site attractivity.

The idea is to allow webmasters without any knowledge in Mozilla development to create their own customized Firefox extension to give to users for pushing site news directly to the user's browser. All of this as a 5 minutes work without seeing any line of code.

The resulting extension will be totally free.

I am looking for webmasters to give ideas and opinions, and also for testing the resulting software (first version scheduled for 2-3 weeks).

If you are interested and want to know more, send me a message via PM.

Thanks.

Thanks for your support.

Can i count you as tester/promoter/helper/opinioner on this and drop you a message when the first version gets ready ?

Hi all,

I am happy to announce that version 1.0 of the Subtile Firefox extension has just been released.

It allows any webmaster without knowledge of mozilla internal developement to provide his own customized extension to users.

This is an ideal way to bring directly to your user's browser:
- the sitemap of your site
- any news relevant to your community
- advertizer's data feed
- adsense-sponsored searches
- many other useful stuff

The extension is accessible through site www subtile.net
I will appreciate your comments and suggestions.

A new editor tool has been added to the Subtile site. This forum does not let me post the url of the editor here but you will find it easily on subtile.net .

You can now create your own Firefox extension without even having to edit an XML configuration.

Here are a couple of examples of how the Subtile firefox extension can be used for a community
of users: subtile.net examples.php

In the first example, the visitors of site downloadhelper are interested in amateur videos.
The tool allows them to create their own menu configuration to monitor YouTube or DailyMotion
for some particular expressions. Whenever a new video is uploaded matching the user's topic,
the icon gets animated and the user can easily visit the video page. The tool can also be used
to monitor new popular videos or latest video sites at downloadhelper.net

The second example addresses the Mozilla addons developers. The user gets notified whenever
a new comment is posted on one of their addons.

You can certainly build easily your own menu to match your visitors' interests and bring
them back often to your site.

And by the way, this is a free service.

This will be very helpful to webmasters - if your idea works out successfully. I am not a professional to advice on this, but I hope that several experienced programmers/coders here will offer their advices. Good Luck.
