Website Grader Review
Website Grader is a tool that helps measure the effectiveness of a website, from a marketing perspective. It is a tool that rates the websites’ capacity in attracting people to it and eventually turning them to potential customers. Through this, you’ll be able to know how your website fares against others, especially your competitors.
The tool does not only give scores but also shows the websites’ Google Pagerank where you’ll be able to know your page’s value. It also tells the web page structure-what’s the page title, description and keywords. It doesn’t only show the structure but informs us of the importance of using these in our webpages. Website Grader also shows if you have “call to action” mechanisms in which you can attract traffic and convert them to potential customers, if your website has RSS Feed or Webform. Plus, it also suggests on what to do to better drive traffic to your website.
Website Grader reports how many sites are linking to it. This is a very useful function to better know what to do with your SEO to increase the number of your links in case you have few. This tool also shows your Alexa ranking, your technorati ranking and how many bookmarks you have in delicious.
Website Grader, however, gives scores to websites in relation to the other websites in its database. That means its scores are not really based on all sites but only on the member sites of the tool. But this has a feature wherein you can specify what type of website you have or what your products are so that you will only be scored against the websites of the same nature as yours. By specifying a website type, the system will generate both an overall grade for the site and a custom score based on the type selected. Also, you can enter your keywords and phrases. By entering keywords and phrases, the website grader tool will be able to generate better and more precise recommendations. The keywords entered do not impact the grade calculated, but improve the website analysis so that better recommendations can be generated.
This tool is not that fast in giving its report, but nevertheless, its content is worth waiting for. Yes, Website Grader may not give a website’s score against all business websites, but at least, it gives a hint on where you stand. Plus, its recommendations are not the ones to be taken for granted.
