One of the most useful extension for Firefox have upgrade to v 1.9 and now offer you NoFollow Links Highlighting and Keywords Density since version 1.6.

Here is the picture of Search Status who appears unobtrusively at the bottom of the browser on the status bar.

Search engine spam technology keeps improving, so search engines keep evolving. The best SE spammers are the ones who provide as close to EXACTLY what the search engine is looking for as possible. The best search engine is the one that finds as close to EXACTLY what the user is looking for as possible. Therefore as search engines improve, SE spammers will have to evolve as well to deliver EXACTLY what the user is looking for, transforming them from a hated nuisance to a valued resource.
