Here’s a free online tool I came across. It’s called sitegrader. You can put in the url of any website (like your blog for example!) and it’ll find out how well connected it is by gathering figures from search engines and so on. You get an overall score. I got 63 today – which means, apparently, “of the thousands of websites that have previously been submitted to the tool, our algorithm has calculated that this site scores higher than 63% of them in terms of its marketing effectiveness”
OK, for me, it’s just a bit of fun really, but one of the reasons to blog is to try and say something and if nobody can find you then nobody can read you, can they?
The site also makes recommendations on how to improve your visibility.

Wow, that was fascinating. I just generated a report for my own blog and it came back with a rating of 57, but what I found really interesting was that it graded the readability of the blog’s content. Mine was graded at 8th grade. I don’t know if that’s good or bad! What age are you if you’re in 8th grade?
