Sounds like a great tool, thanks for posting!

[Larwee]

Longroad, this really is great.

The sad thing is that a lot of people who could benefit from this will never become aware of it or give it a try.

There are some good points to it as well as some bad points. I'll cover some of both in future posts.

One thing people need to understand is the score. The score compares your site with all of the other sites that have previously been analyzed. Therefore a score of 67, for example, might be better than it looks to you. That means that out of all of the sites that have been analyzed your site scores higher than 67% of them in terms of its marketing effectiveness. But that still means that 33% scored higher.

Another good point is how many different aspects of your site it looks into and the suggestions it gives to improve your site. It will give you the specific areas that can be improved.

This is something that can benefit most people and it can be a very big help to newbies by making them aware of what they need to do or change.

Thanks for this Larry. Having probs w my main computer so had to try this on my new lap top. Will look in more detail later, need to go fix my PC. But this looks REALLY good.

After I get caught up on some things and get a chance to look in more detail I might blog about it too. Thanks for letting us know.

Changes you make to your site or blog could give you a different website grade. Also, according to Website Grader their software is constantly being upgraded and the algorithm enhanced. In addition, they say the number of potential recommendations provided by the tool is also increasing frequently.

You might want to get updates on your website grade. You can request Website Grader to automatically send you free updated reports by email. At the present time the updates are sent about once a month.

Maybe I'll have time to ck it this weekend. Just bought a laptop cart for my new notebook, so trying to figure out how to put it together. A million pieces and parts!

Thanks again!

[longroad]

Whats a laptop cart? Sounds interesting!

[Linda Buquet]

Well the one I got is sorta like this.

Amazon.com: Laptop Cart - Cherry (Cherry) (36"H x 31"W x 17 1/2"D): Office Products

The goal is when I go work in my comfy lazyboy to rest my back, I can pull my laptop where its comfortable, adjust the angle and have a place for my mouse too. But shoot after putting this darn thing together, which was a bear, its not working. So need to take it back.

Sorry Larry we pulled your thread off course.
