Tabbed Browsing: A Great Productivity Tool
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Want to learn how tabbed browsing can make you more productive? For one, it can help you multitask and for two, it can help you remember to do things. When you get into internet marketing, you can suddenly find yourself spreading out so thin that you can lose track of what you need to do every day and what you need to keep tabs on. Here is a nice way that utilising tabs in Firefox or Internet Explorer can make your browser actually help you remember to do things.

Tracking Affiliate Marketing Progress
If you participate in several affiliate marketing programs, open them all one by one into a set of tabs. In Firefox, for instance, choose short cuts:
“Shift” + “Ctrl” + “D”.
Then when the pop-up window asks you to choose a name and a folder, you could set up a set of folders with an appropriate naming convention that help you. For example, you could set up something with your links for:
- Commission Junction
- Clickbank
- Linkshare
- PepperJam
- And whatever other affiliate program you work in.
Now, tomorrow when you decide you want to manually check your stats or get new links, instead of having to remember to manually check them all one at a time you can simply click on the appropriate folder in your bookmarks and tell your browser to open them all. In a nanosecond (or two) you’ll find a set of opened windows that take you exactly where you need to go. When you’re done you can simply close all tabs.
Blog Management
If you have several blogs and want to make sure you post every day, you can do the same thing. Open all your blog admin panels in a set of tabs and save them all. Then, when you’re ready to post in all your blogs or do maintenance such as add affiliate links or alter blogroll information, you can easily open every one of them all together.
Tips and tricks to help you maximise productivity are all around the net. Take advantage of them!
