Tracking website success

I found a great resource I want to share with you to help measure the success of your website.  I think you will find it super helpful.  And it serves an additional purpose – you can track your competition.  That’s what I call a sweet site!

Check out Website Grader to learn how you measure up in regard to inbound linking, traffic, and Google page rank for starters.  The site allows you to enter competitors’ URLs for comparison.  I am a stickler for setting benchmarks and this could be a great way to additionally measure the success of site improvements you have scheduled this year.

Your site will receive an overall grade based on various criteria.  Of course they would like you to become a customer to improve your rankings, but you can run a simple report without obligation (no email required unless you’d like access to the full report).  I highly recommend taking even a quick look to see how you fare.

I’ll be posting more details about assessing your competition later this month…stay tuned!
