Introducing: the SEO Stylesheet for Safari, Firefox, Opera, and IE

September 30, 2008 · 19 Comments

Safari, Opera, IE and Firefox User Stylesheet is like a compass for SEOs

Firefox gets all the cool toys

As I’ve written before, Firefox SEO — not Safari — gets all the glory. One of the great things about Firefox is the Add-ons (plugins) that extend its functionality. For web developers and SEOs, it’s vital to easily see what rank your website has when doing searches. There are tons of Firefox SEO Add-ons, but I use the following Firefox SEO addons:

These add-ons make browsing much easier when you’re doing some SEO research. There are no cool Safari SEO Plugins (ask Google, it’s true), but I wasn’t satisfied…so I made my own (kinda).

I am pleased to announce the best Safari SEO plugin alternative.

The SEO User Stylesheet

This user stylesheet can be used by all browsers: Safari, Firefox, Opera and IE

I’ve added the top search engines to this stylesheet so that whenever you do a search on any major search engine, the search results will be numbered, including the paid advertising. 

Internet Explorer users: the items marked with the asterisk (*) will not work in Internet Explorer. Do yourself a favor and get a good browser.

Search engines included in the stylesheet:

  • Google
  • MSN/Live
  • Yahoo!
  • AOL Search
  • Netscape.com
  • Ask.com *
  • AltaVista *
  • Snap.com *
  • AlltheWeb.com *
  • Gigablast.com *

In order to use this stylesheet, you must add seo-stylesheet.css as your browser’s user stylesheet. Here are links that will help you set it up:

You can create a .css file using the code below, or download the SEO Stylesheet here.
