Firefox Extensions For Web Professionals
(Discovery #4 – FireFTP)
Like you, most web developers and SEO professionals, I use an array of tools to get my work on the web done and one of the “must haves” for any web developer is a good FTP application.
FireFTP ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/684/ ) is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client that provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers. This eliminates a piece of software for those of you who use a separate program for FTP.
Along with transferring your files quickly and efficiently, FireFTP also includes more advanced features such as: directory comparison, syncing directories while navigating, SFTP, SSL encryption, search/filtering, integrity checks, remote editing, drag & drop, file hashing, and much more!
This particular program is also very intuitive to use (unlike some).
- Don’t forget, if you know of any must have Firefox extensions worth investigating, just let me know.
Facebook – Inside The Members Area of Infinite FB
Continuing on from my last post about Infinite FB, the following information and video is taken directly from the Infinite FB affiliate site.
Here is a quick tour of Infinite FB. There are over 50 posts with about 10+ videos and audios. This is not just an ecourse filled with context, but images, downloadable tools and media interaction. The reason why I did not make this into an ebook is because I want users able to learn and keep up to date with any changes Facebook has.

Infinite FB – Use Facebook Ads For Marketing
Today (September 1st) Ian Fernando launched Infinite FB, or should I say re-launched. The FB stands for Facebook. Just shows how silly (to be polite) I am, it’s it’s taken me the better part of a day to realise that simple fact.
Anyway, this is an ecourse which focuses on Facebook Ads and how you can become a strong marketer by simply advertising your business or affiliate offers on Facebook.
Being interested, though not fully understanding the concept of Facebook, I decided to investigate further and discovered that this ecourse, which affiliates can subscribe to via ClickBank, has been promoted for some time.
Ian has been promoting the product by releasing a series of videos, the latest video can be seen by clicking on the above banner or link. I’m not sure where the other video links are but I will investigate further and let you know.
Well it’s getting late here, so that’s all for now.
See you soon.

(Discovery #2 – WHOIS Lookup)
Today’s Firefox discovery is Vitzo’s WHOIS add-on for FireFox 3+ users ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10494/ )
This add-on allow you to view the WHOIS information for any web site. Vitzo’s WHOIS add-on supplies a very convenient button on the top-right of the browser address bar and makes the WHOIS lookup so easy you wonder why Firefox or Google has not included this facility as standard.

Demand Side Platforms (DSPS) How They Should Work
I’ve just received an email from Paul Martecchini (Head of Marketing, OpenX) who says how everyone would be surprised how many advertising professionals still don’t know what Demand Side Platforms (DSPs) are, or how they should work with them.
So, to help everyone understand this growing opportunity, OpenX have produced an original whitepaper:
Demand Side Platforms: How Publishers Can Profit
SUMMARY: This white paper explains what DSPs are and how they work with online ad exchanges like OpenX Market. It reviews what opportunities they create for both advertisers and publishers and what publishers in particular can do to profit from them.
