How To Check The Strength Of Your Website

November 26th 2006 19:21

"Although not a considerable presence, your site/page is making inroads online. Visitor traffic and search engine visibility is within your grasp"

That's the message I received when I put one of my political blog domains in the SEOmoz Page Strength Checker. Apparently my blog has a 4/10 when it comes to page strength, which I guess means I'm right on the borderline of breaking through to a new level of traffic.

The search engine optimization tool tells you the following:

* The Relative Importance/Visibility of a Webpage
* The Potential Strength/Ability of a Page to Rank in the Search Engines
* Data on Popularity, Links & Mentions of the Page Across the Web

Now I find most of these tools to be redundant and of little value, but this one kind of seems to be on the right track. I don't like how they pull data from Alexa, which can easily be "tricked", but other than that I like the potion SEOmoz uses to aggregate the data.

If you're looking to sell ads on your site, or even purchase them on another, you might want to start with this tool.

Can we do this for our Orble blog?
Can we use our own Adsense #?

Yes, it works for Orble blogs. Here is what it said for SEO Goggles.

"Your website/page is a relative unknown. Search engines and humans are (for the time being) infrequent visitors. Consider the accessibility of the URL, the desirability of the content and your marketing efforts online; all can have great impact on your reach."

I'm not sure what you mean with the Adsense question. Can you further expand on that?

Sorry, i wasn't too clear on that one. I meant can I use my AdSense # on my Orble blog? I don't think we can.

Currently, no, you cannot. However, if you look in the writers forum under "domain blogs" (recent topic), you'll find that Jon is working on some options regarding this.

Aww, I got 3.5/10. I was hoping for more, but then again, I noticed it failed to take into account the age of my site, so maybe that would've pushed the score up a little.

I think it looks at the age of the domain.

Ahhh!

It's a fun tool though, all things considered.

it's a good way to feel smug, but I'm not sure it tells you any really useful information! It's just cool to see it all in one place...
