Grade Your Website for Search Engine Effectiveness, here's how.

For those of you who want a quick analysis of how well your site is optimized, I suggest a website called Website Grader. They offer a free tool and according to their website, this SEO tool measures the marketing effectiveness of a website.  It provides a score that incorporates things like website traffic, SEO, social popularity and other technical factors. It also provides some basic advice on how the website can be improved from a marketing perspective.

To check the Grade of your site in terms of Search Engine Optimization you just enter your website address (or that of your competitor's) and within a few minutes an easy to read report is generated.

This tool generates data on the most important facotrs related to optimizing your site for search engine indexing, specifically:

metatags
image labels
heading tags
inbound or backlinks (these are extremely important, watch for my blog on this topic)
age of domain
page rank in Google
findability
popularity

A score out of 100 is generated based on the anaylsis of the website and suggestions are made on how you can improve your grade. You can make the changes then check back to see if your Search Engine Optimization grade has improved.

Get this free Search Engine Optimizaton tool at http://www.websitegrader.com/

There are far more comprehensive SEO tools available but for those of you who like quick and easy, this is a nice tool. The report is generated quickly, and the suggestions easy to implement and are proven effective strategies for improving your search engine ranking.
