If you’re wondering how your website or blog stacks up against the competition when it comes to SEO, it’s time to stop wondering. Website Grader is a free tool that gives you a very comprehensive analysis of your website.
I learned about this tool from Boris Mahovac – Email Marketing Coach who left the link in his comment to my post How to Improve SEO by Getting Links. Boris will be my guest on the February 25th edition of Andrea’s More Effective Marketing Podcast.
This tool is easy to use and not only tells you your site’s page rank, inbound links and more, but it tells you what needs your attention.
For example, Website Grader told me my blog isn’t listed in the directory DMOZ. I had applied to be listed but apparently didn’t follow up to see if I actually got listed. Thanks to the report, I immediately went to DMOZ to reapply.
The report also commented on my meta tags, headings, images, the last time my site was crawled by Google and much more.
Not only can you get a report on your own site, you can get a comparison between your site and a competitor’s site. This way you’ll know where you need to improve to beat your competition.
Now this site is not perfect. The report tells me I have no inbound links. I know this isn’t true because I belong to a couple of blog carnivals who regularly have links to my blog. I also know several people have quoted me in their own blogs and included links.
In spite of this problem, I’d definitely recommend using Website Grader.
