No matter whether you are a part time or a full time blogger you will always be worried about how much quality time do you spend on an internet and especially blogging? Blogging needs quality time and effort.
But the burning question is
- What do you mean by quality time and effort?
- Is there any way to evaluate your efficiency/productivity as a blogger?
To be frank even I don’t have the answers of the above questions (I doubt that even a pro blogger can tell you the exact answer). But it doesn’t means that there is no way we can measure our blogging productivity. The simple answer of the above question is Firefox add-ons can help you to increase your blogging productivity. I am listing some of the most useful Firefox add-ons that can help you to increase your productivity as a blogger.
But before jumping on to the list let me tell you the areas we are covering here
It is no more a secret that commenting on other blogs (dofollow/nofollow) can not only increase the traffic to your website but it also helps you to create your own network.
Social networking websites can help you to boost the relationship and traffic to your website.
Submitting your website to directories and social networking site will not only gives you the backlink but it will also boost your blog visibility in search engine.
Now let us jump on to the Firefox add-ons for bloggers
1) easyComment Plugin
easyComment: easyComment plugin helps you to comment easily on other blogs. As a blogger I used to comment on 40-50 blogs per day but after using this plugin my commenting frequency has increased upto 70-80 blogs per day. It is really helpful especially when you are visiting the new blog.
You can read more about how easyComment can help you in commenting from a previous guest post by John.
Firefox Plugin - easyComment
2) InFormEnter Plugin
InFormEnter: How boring it is to fill up same information again and again when you submit your website to related directories and search engines?
InFormEnter does the boring job of filling up the form for you. All you have to do is create your own profile in InformEnter plugin and submit your website to search engines and directories
Small tip: Always fill the profile according to form you see on directories. i.e Yourname, Your email address, Your blog title, blog URL, blog description, blog tags and keywords.
Firefox Plugin - InFormEnter
3) Yoono Plugin
Yoono: Yonno make your life simpler by bringing all the famous social networking website to the Firefox sidebar. Here is the list of social networking websites and feature offered by yoono.
Supports social networking websites likeFacebook, myspace, Imeem, Twitter, Flickr and Firendfeed and many more.
It lets you easily share your favorite links,videos, images with your friends.
Discovery widget: lets you find similar websites and search for your favorite products and articles using built in real-time search engine.
Firefox Plugin - Yoono

blogging productivity is when you gain knowledge out of it..

Good to hear that you are using all the firefox plugins. Wait for the next post to check out more firefox plugins
.-= Ricky ´s last blog ..Alexa Introduces New Changes With Alexa Ranking =-.
I stopped using Firefox because it went really slow for some reason. I now use Chrome which is good except for the lack of decent plugins. You would have thought Google would have resolved this by now.
Perhaps I should give Firefox another shot?

I will be waiting for the release of your second series, really helpful.
.-= Gaurav´s last blog ..Join PayPal Wishlist on Facebook and make money =-.
I have been using the Easy comment Plugin since along time now.
But I have a doubt: Is the inFormEnter plugin really helpful? Mostly we need to fill different forms with different information, So do we need to prepare different Forms for each info?

I love the easy comment as I have used it for several months and very useful now
.-= Tinh´s last blog ..eBlogTip: Friday Link Love #1 =-.
Right! Now, I think this inforenter plugin is related to it and probably could be better in that you could have multiple profiles, if I’m not mistaken.
.-= James Moralde´s last blog ..Photo Fun =-.
Been using easyComment, it’s an awesome assistant if you are an active commenter.
I use RoboForm instead of InFormEnter Plugin but I think they can do the same work. It rocks when you are submitting your blog to bunch of directory.
.-= Phaoloo´s last blog ..Top 19 Tools To Hide Folders On Windows =-.
Phaoloo, Yes InFormEnter works like a RoboForm. The functionality of both the plugin is same.Glad to know that you are already using it

Well, that tool is really useful Ricky but I love Google Toolbar form very much and do not like to switch now

.-= Taranfx´s last blog ..Google`s New Design with Caffeine =-.
Taran, this is a series post. I will add SEO, RSS, Social networking plugins as well. BTW thank you for your suggestion.
.-= Ricky´s last blog ..Remove Ikee iPhone Worm Easily[How-to] =-.
I thought when we fill in all the information once in the blog and it will be appeared there for the second time you visit? But I’m not sure about that, I used to fill in information once in a new blog, and I don’t have to fill in second time.
I’ve never used these tools before, but firefox is my favourite browser, it’s much more faster than IE.
Regards,
Lee
.-= Lee Ka Hoong´s last blog ..Make Money Online With Twitter – Ad.ly =-.
Lee you are right that information will be there but what will happen when you visit the new blog? what if you clear your cookies and browser history?
You have to type again and again those boring information. You can also enter your signature in the form (like Regards, Lee in your case).Just a one click from easyComment will fill all the details for you;)
InFormEnter is really helpful when you submit your blog to different search engines and directories.
.-= Ricky´s last blog ..Tvider Mobile Tweeter Tool For iPhone J2ME And Blackberry Users =-.
I am using Easy Comments and InFormEnter but Yoono Plugin looks like new to me and it seems interesting also.

Interesting stuffs!
Glad to know that we got amazing plugin like Yoono. However, I’m afraid easyComment might be misused (I receive 10-20 spam comments per day. gosh)
.-= BloggerDaily´s last blog ..5 Ways To Get Back To Blogging =-.
@bloggerDaily – I’m afraid that could be for all plugins, there is always that someone that wants to spam or make trouble. We need to use the plaugins and hopefully the plugin developers will improve their plugins until it’s safe.
@bloggerdaily
Install ‘keyscrambler’ firefox plugin to secure your add on. Remove all the details once and fill it again after activating above add-on.
.-= Ricky´s last blog ..Download UCWEB 7 Java Mobile Browser-English Version =-.

Thanks for sharing! You are absolutely right! The time is precious for me. By using the plugins you recommended, i believe that i can save much more time on it!
SEO Blogger Plugin can help you to find the topics for the blog. I am currently writing the post about it. Also, I am using th easycomment addon already. Thats cool too. But some times it fills the email address at the place of URL and vice versa. Did you face any probs like that?
