Ilker, DT, nice job.

Dennis, no doubt your new domain has had an effect.

I think you’ve made a good move though. Better now than another few months down the line eh?

Argh lol. I shouldn’t have done this ;)

56/100 that’s what you get from moving to a new domain ;) Oh well at least the poor summer weather will be good for something.

Web Statistics are definitely very important for an online business.
Website Grader seems to be good, thanks for the info.
I have been using GoStats.com for web analytics and they are professional with a comprehensive visitor log.

Zoe,

I agree that it’s important not to get hung up about grade. It’s a nice indicator though, and flagged up one or two things I’m glad I found out.

Sujan,

Thanks for the visit.

Shelly,

That’s great that you found some use from the tool already.

This tool was extremely useful for me. I had discovered it several weeks ago and graded my site. I had an 81. With a little bit of work, I brought it up to a 92 in about two hours. Since I’m not very technologically advanced and am a newcomer to blogging, I was delighted to get that help!

An interesting concept for evaluating sites but I think it is important not to get too hung up on the grade.

I plugged in a few of the sites I have done and one of my best performing site in terms of a google ranking and sheer number of visits got a pathetic score of 31.
This particular site has maintained a top 5 position for 6 years keyword counterfeit and because of this I don’t want to “mess” with the code and implement any of the recomendations webgrader makes.

Jonathan,

If it’s fine by Boing Boing then it’s fine by me. I don’t subscribe to that site but I know of its huge popularity.

Leslie, Vivien, Sera,

You’re all very welcome. I’m glad this post was of interest.
