How to get a free SEO website check.

Now and again its a good idea to check your site to make sure its not going to frighten off the search engines.

I use these tools once a month or so. I also use them when my traffic is dropping off and I don’t understand why, just to ensure its not an on-site or link-age issue.

Here’s the list:

Website Grader

This online checker looks at your page from a broader SEO perspective. It uses a combination of Google page rank, Web Structure, Domain Info, Heading Summary (<h> tags), Image Summary, Google Indexed Pages, Google crawl date, Inbound links, Technorati rating, del.icio.us bookmarks, readability level and search engine rankings for keywords.

From these it gives your site a rating out of 100.

In return for a free registration it will also compare your site to those of a few of your competitors.

A good all round first check.

Meta Tag Analyzer Tool

This little tool gives your web page the once over and highlights any problems in red. At the time of writing it checks the following:

  • Analyze most common meta tags.
  • Analyze keyword density from the page content.
  • Analyze page load time from the page.
  • Analyze size from the page.
  • Analyze title meta tag relevancy to page content.
  • Analyze description meta tag relevancy to page content.
  • Analyze keywords meta tag relevancy to page content.
  • Check for adult keywords in the description, keywords and title meta tag.
  • Check for adult keywords in the webpage.

A handy firefox plugin which can be used to check-out any web page. A quick way to find duplicate content problems by looking at the number of pages with supplemental listings. By double clicking the link it also shows more detail are affected. Plugin lists the following information:

Pulls useful market research data right from Google’s and Yahoo!’s search results.

  • PR: (Google PageRank) an estimated measure of global link authority
  • Age: age pulled from Archive.org, shows the first time a page was indexed by Archive.org’s spider. The theory is that if Archive.org found a page so did many of the major search engines.

  • Alexa: rank based on website traffic . Heavily skewed toward internet marketing and webmaster related resources.
  • Cached: (Google site:) shows how many pages from a site are indexed in Google
  • dmoz: searches the Google Directory to count the total number of pages from a site that are listed in DMOZ, and the total number of pages listed in DMOZ that reference that URL.

Google Webmaster Tools

You need to sign-up for this one but well worth the effort. A host of stats showing how Google looks at your site. If your ranking is dropping quickly then more than likely you will find the answer in here.

While a sitemap is expected its not necessary and Google provides you with a free site analysis anyway.
