These details include how well the site has been built, daily usage statistics, where the site is ranked in the world, accessibility issues and much more. There are many of these services out there and every one of them is unique in both the services they provide and how the information is shown to the webmaster. Here are just some of the websites available and what services they provide:
Silktide Sitescore
Sitescore offers two kinds of reports. There is a free utility for average webmasters or a more detailed report for those who want to pay. I have not tried the paid one but here are some of the reports given in the free utility.
W3C Validation
This tells you if you have any errors in the code of your website and how it will affect the accessibility to a world wide audience.
Meta Tag Rating
This information shows how well your Meta information is doing on major search engines.
E.G. Based on your webpage title, we guessed that your website/company name is "your company". In the text on your homepage, these appear to be the most significant phrases:
- Keyword one
- Keyword two
- Keyword three
We took the top 3 phrases and searched for them in Google, along with your website/company name.
Google found you company at position 2 in the search engine"
How Useful The Content Is To The Visitor
This feature suggests ways in which you can gain visitors to your site. For example they might suggest you have a login facility, forum or an option to sign up to newsletter. In other words it's ways that you can keep your visitors attention.
Speed
How fast your average visitor has to wait before they can see your page, the average is about 1 second.
5) Use of Images
There are tons of reasons why images play an important role in making a great website. They are pleasant to look at, they attract the visitor's attention etc.
PageRanker
This is a different kind of ranking facility as it gathers results from several ranking websites and displays the information together. This way is better in the way that it displays all data but if you don't put a link to the website before running the tests it will bombard you with advertisements.
Google PageRank
PageRank relies on the nature of the web. Google uses the link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. The way it works is that Google interprets a link from one page to another as a vote/point, for example a page linking to another is classed as a point for the page it's linking to. Google does not only use this information it also analyzes the page that links to it. The page that the link was provided is also important.
The more high quality a webpage is and the more links to it determines your overall Page Rank.
Page Strength
The Page Strength tool from Seomoz.org
shows reports on areas such as:
- The Relative Importance/Visibility of a Webpage
- The Potential Strength/Ability of a Page to Rank in the Search Engines
- And last but not least: Data on Popularity, Links & Mentions of the Page across the Web
Conclusion:
If your a webmaster and would like to find out ways to improve your popularity on the net, seek advice on ways you can keep visitors and have detailed reports then I would suggest Silktide Sitescore because it produces more detailed reports, suggests ways to improve your site, enables people to rank your site and offers solutions to correct the most common problems.
