Grading or rather, relative grading is used in almost every educational institution to rate the students and how good they are when compared to others. With a large number of websites all over the place, it is only fair that websites get a grading tool as well. Keeping that in mind, Website Grader offers a fully fledged website grading service.

You only need to submit the URI to your site for a complete analysis of the site. Optionally, you can submit relevant keywords for your site and also details of your sites’ competitors to enable Website Grader to verify search engine rankings for the keywords and also tell you how you rank against your competitors.

Website Grade

The most important feature, as the name suggests is the Website Grade that is provided. To calculate the Website Grade, the details of the other sites that were submitted earlier to the site are counted. Based on that, your grade is given. For example, if your website’s grade is 90, then it means that your website is better than 90% of the websites that were submitted to it.

The other details you can obtain include:

• PR, Alexa Rank, inbound links, del.icio.us bookmarks, indexed pages etc.
• Website structure – meta tags, title, description
• Domain info, expiration date etc.
• Heading summary – details of heading tags and what should not be used
• Image summary – usage and presence of images
• Googlebot last crawl date and time
• Readability level
• Keyword rankings on search engines

All these details can be obtained without the hassle of registration on the site. Also, for every topic mentioned above, details are given as to what the topic is and why it is useful for SEO.

Digg Submission Summary

And for registered users, the Digg Submission Summary is offered as well. This tells us about how many articles were submitted from the site to Digg.com and also how many diggs the articles altogether received. It also mentions the number of times the site or any article from it made it to the front page of Digg.

You can also add a site to the dashboard and compare it with other sites later on. The algorithm for the Website Grader is being constantly updated and so some aspects of the site may not work for now. However that may change as new features may be added soon.

I recommend that you try out this service and tell me what grade your website gets. Do you think that this an useful service?
