Let's get it right... it's Search Engine Analysis, not Search Engine Optimisation. This doesn't directly affect your position in search engines; it just lets you know where you are for certain keywords, etc.

I agree with mambo. And there is too much information, it makes the loading so loooong...

Make sure you take advantage of the CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS....

the reason for the pics and the links was to show that you can CHOOSE INDIVIDUALLY what you want to have loaded with just a single click.

This is for the SERPs as well as the Browser Toolbar.

Also with one click you can turn the toolbar on and off.

But this does illustrate one very important point.

PEOPLE DO NOT READ NOR RESEARCH!!!

This may explain why companies dumb things down – if a readership this knowledgeable did not probe it – you can imagine how difficult it would be for the layperson to use.
