Discover a fabulous free online tool that grades your website out of 100, gives you ideas for making improvements and compares your website with those of your competitors.

One of the blogs that I read regularly to keep up with all topics related to internet marketing is the Hubspot Inbound Internet Marketing blog.

The same company offers a free tool called the Website Grader

Use the free Hubspot Website Grader to get a snapshot of key aspects relating to your website.

It’s simple and straight forward to use. You enter the URL of your website, along with the URLs of competitive websites, to produce a report that includes information like:

• How much traffic each website has
• How many inbound links each website has
• How many pages each website has
• A summary of use of meta data (title tag, meta description and keywords tag).

Use the information to improve your website and to do a quick check of whether or not you can rank in search engines against your competitors based on how many inbound links they have, how many pages their websites have and the other information that is displayed.

The tool gives your website a grade out of 100.

If your grade starts out low, don’t worry too much.  This will become your benchmark so you can keep a track of how your grade improves as you expand your online marketing program and make improvements to your website.

If it starts out high, happy days – you website efforts are paying off
