Most internet marketers are aware of, and probably use, the
Google Toolbar. After all, it has been the only indicator of Google's PageRank
number that has been assigned to a given web page. Whether the number is
accurate, important, or even updated any more is a matter of debate on the
marketing forums. But the only feature that was really worthwhile for more
casual surfers, other than being able to use the Google search box directly,
was the popup window blocker feature, which oddly enough, is the least favorite
feature of many an internet marketer.
But for many surfers now, the Yahoo Toolbar may well be a
better choice. A 3 megabyte download for computers running Windows 98 or higher
and Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, the Yahoo Toolbar not only offers greater
interactivity with Yahoo and My Yahoo, but now offers some benefits for your PC
as well.
In addition, to the Search Yahoo box and quick access to
Yahoo News, email, and bookmarks, the Yahoo Toolbar offers a Pop-Up blocker,
and perhaps even more importantly for many surfers these days, Anti-Spy, to
detect and remove spyware from the user's PC. Yahoo even has an anti-spyware
community that is tied in with the Anti-Spy software on the Yahoo Toolbar. The main difference between safe ranking
and spam is that they adopt unsafe ranking techniques. Visit the link given

Many people prefer Google for search, feeling that it offers
better results with fewer "spammy" sites while Yahoo search is going
through a rebirth. However, many surfers prefer the amazing My Yahoo portal,
that offers email, calendar, notes, and multiple news and information pages
that you can customize just about any way you like. Since it offers such quick
and easy access to My Yahoo, in addition to a Pop-Up Blocker and Anti-Spy, the
Yahoo Toolbar may be worthy of a place on your browser controls. Even if it means
you have to type in the name of your favorite search engine!
