Evaluating your website - a tool that does the heavy lifting for you

April 5, 2009 If you're wondering how your website is fairing against your competition, a good tool to use is http://www.websitegrader.com.  It reviews your website and tells you if your description in your code is too short or too long (or if you even have one), and the number of keywords the search engines use to find you.  It looks at your content headings, your images, and your interior pages and tells you what's missing.  My favorite item it looks at is the reability level - the site I just evaluated had the education level of a Primary / Elementary School child (not their target audience).  It also tells you the date your site was last crawled by Google, how you rank against your competition and how many other sites are linking to yours.  All relevant information you need to be tracking to ensure your website is found in the search rankings.

Check it out and let me know how your site is doing.
