I found this site through one of my networking partners for my small business. No, this isn't marketing ~ it's an analysis (pretty extensive it seems?) of your website:

www.websitegrader.com

Mine, got a really low mark ~ which it should have because it's a new website. I didn't try my blog on it.

Anyway, thought it might be of interest to someone.

just did my blog, and it was an interesting response.... I got a 97

If someone tries this, let me know what you get?

That's a great site. Thanks!

I got 93.

got a 92, I am happy with that.

mine just dropped to 96 LOL must have been something I said

It's interesting...I got a 2.

No really, I got a 91. Some of their techniques may bring some harping. Pass this along to Turnip. See what the master thinks about it.

k, I'm on a wait and see

I like that there is a function where you can compare it to other web sites.

I got a 99. Natch!

98.8/100

91 here.

It says I'm missing a meta-data description and keywords. Can anyone tell me how to add those?

I'm at 98.9 Trying to fix a few of the things they are reporting on.

Add code like this in the header section of your template:

<meta name="description" content="A description of the blog" /> <meta name="keywords" content="cats,other keywords" />

I got a 96.6. It seems to cache the page, so making changes was pointless. Good way to generate a mailing list.

Thanks, Orient!

meh - I got a 86. I'll take it ... on the bright side, I'm in the top 0.29% of all sites in terms of traffic ...

You dont need to put in your email, turnip. At least I didn't.

Dude, I'm not stupid! I put in your email. Duh.

My senior year of high school I filled out those cards to have Army recruiters contact you for all of my friends. That went well.

to this day I still fill out applications forms for work when I go to fast food places for my friend - just did it last week. Oh yeah - they love it ...

I got an 89. My page title is too long. I agree but too late. Also the fact I have a free domain like blogspot is hurting me.

It tells me its unable to retrieve page content on anything I put it. It must not like me.

you said no when it asked you to the prom

I got an 89.

It complains about the number of images I use, the fact that my URL expires in less than 1 year, no entries for DMOZ, Yahoo! Directory or ZoomInfo and PR is 0.

I've had the blog since February and didn't start taking it seriously until July.

I can live with this grade.

96 but I don't know what that means!

I originally got this in a Networking area, so I do see where it's aimed mostly at business related websites (listed in google maps, yahoo etc.)

But I did go through and take note of what I could add (META is the big one).

I dunno, helped me a bit...

On a side note, my little business page that I JUST now got up and not quite running (der) is at oh... 40 or something if I'm lucky?

EDIT ~ Yeah, my company site is:

A website grade of 37/100 for www.zyconsulting.com

So at least I know it's not judging everything over 50. LOL

I'll work on my company site at somepoint!

5. Readability Level: Primary / Elementary School

Is this good or bad? Does this mean that visitors will understand the blog better or is it my level of writing? :(

I'd say that means anyone can read it ~ That's my opinion...

:)

Maybe someone will say differently! But, I'd venture to guess that's what it's for.

97.6.

92 with some good suggestions.

Thanks for the tip 'OFCOL' :)

All I got was Failed to retrieve page content from http://dotcommogul.net/

I got a rock

=/

@Kabalyero, I would say that is a good thing - I interpret it as meaning that your content is very readable.

@Dot - Why would that be?

EDIT - I just went to load yours and it took 9.9Sec to load. It was slow for me... but it loaded.

@Ken - I'm glad folks found it useful! :) My company site really sux it says! LOL I found that kinda useful!

9.9 seconds ... guess that's too much for the site. Oh well. That should be my next post ... hey, anyone got 9.9 seconds to spare?

@ s u p e r f i c i a l

"I got a rock"

not surprising

I love that site..

I win, I got 87. The lower the better right?

9.9 ~ LOL Sorry, but your blog is always worth the wait

btw, I swear it didn't seem that long

98.3 and it's frightening how much they can find out about your blog !

I got a 174. w00t.
