Want to know what your website’s worth? Whether it’s to sell your website, or just for fun, Website Outlook will give you a good idea.

Just like DomainTools’ SEO Score and Website Grader’s Score, Website Outlook’s score (value) is calculated using their own made up algorithm. That means, it is just an indication! It derives the value, based on a number of factors, including Alexa Rank, Google PageRank and number of backlinks.

Check it out here: Website Outlook. Just type you URL (www.whatever.com) and click Submit.

Note: Subdomains (like subdomain.whatever.com)

I mostly use it for fun. It makes me feel good when I see the “value” of my websites go up

Google Analytics is the tool I use.  I must admit, I haven’t tried anything else. But that’s because Google Analytics already gives me more than enough information and I live by the idea that “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

All you do is put some HTML/JavaScript code down the bottom of each page you want to be tracked and within a few minutes, Google starts tracking your life *cough* I mean, your website.

It’s completely free and you’re not forced to put a link back to Google on your site. I suspect they use the information collected for much more than we know. But oh well, Google’s going to take over the world anyway it’s inevitable. We should all just accept it!

So you’re probably thinking, “Hey, this’ll be easy. I’ll just write one really good article and post it everywhere I can!” Sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s not quite that easy, I can tell you!

You’ve got your website, you’ve started optimising it and you’ve gotten a Domain Tools’ SEO score of 99% for every page. Now what? Well, you need to wait a few days (or sometimes weeks) for the search engines to  reindex all your webpages and find any backlinks from other webpages. Then, it will do its calculations and your pages will be listed in search results. Ideally, you want your website to be the first listing for all your keyphrases, but how can you check the easy way?

If you’ve had a bit of a look around the website, you’ve probably noticed that I often refer to “Alexa Rank” or “Google PageRank”. So what are they? What do they do? Do they actually mean anything? Is there anything I can do to improve my ranks?
