Making the Grade

website-grader.JPG

Found this cool little tool as I was surfing around the net yesterday. It’s a Website Grader.
It basically gives you a grade for your website’s search engine optimization. It runs a bunch of algorithms that I can’t even begin to explain and it also checks on your rankings and stats with Alexa, Technorati and the Google and Yahoo search engines.

I was very surprised to find that my site ranked a 91 out of a possible 100 points. It also means that of all the websites submitted I am ranked better than 91% of them based on marketing effectiveness. How I achieved that I have no idea. Last time I was in school 91% qualified as an “A”. I consider this is a personal blog and I never set out to make any money, maybe I should change that perspective :twisted:

Anyways, a fun little site to check up on to see how well your site holds up to others. You can keep checking back to see how your rankings respond as more and more sites submit their info for comparison. So far they claim that thousands of sites are in their database.

So, what’s your grade?

Way to go on the grade! I did mine and I got a 53, but I already knew I needed to tweak my blog even more, but what I have know is worlds better than the former design :D .

Thanks for the heads up by the way

Glad you got the reference ;~)
