SEO: Site Analysis
Have you ever sat back and wondered how your site was faring in several of the Google Data Centers? Or what about how many links you have coming back to your site from outside? What about mod rewrites… any good at creating those? META tags?
And on and on…
There are metrics that we all like to check out occasionally when it comes to our site. Where do we rank? How do we stack up to the competition?
Of course, if you’re ranking #1 for several keyword phrases at Google, it’s not such a big deal, right? Your SEO plan is working.
But what if you’re not ranking that high or ranking at all? What if your site’s been up a while, but you’re still not seeing your site in the SERPs (search engine results pages)? Where do you need to tweak things to make a difference?
I have a great SEO tools site for you that I just stumbled upon! It’s called “Link Vendor,” and you can visit at: http://linkvendor.com
The Searchmetrics Report there is fascinating. You plug in your URL and it tells you how you’re doing in terms of simple SEO, META data, technoology, social bookmarking, and more. Very cool.
Anyway, if you’re a stats loving strange person like me, this site will totally turn you on. Check it out!

Thanks for suggesting the Link Vendor website. The searchmetrics report was very interesting. I ran it on my own website. I’m not sure what it all means (I will obviously have to read more of your blog!) but it did show me some areas I need to look at and learn about!

Yes, Pat it is. You can register, too, which is still free and get a whole bunch of other great stats.
Perty sweet, huh?

I’m just starting a business plan that of course includes a website and search engine marketing. How long should a website be up before it should rank in the search engines? In other words, how long till I can tell that what I’m doing isn’t working the way I want?

Hi Angel,
It’s hard to get your site out of the “Google Sandbox,” where all new sites end up pretty quickly. It can take as long as 3 months or more before you start showing any results.

Hi Pat,
Okay, I’m not a “stats loving strange person,” but this is great a tool thanks! Unfortunately, even those of us who are not into stats must pay attention to them. Now, if I can figure out what all this stuff means . . .
