Google PageRank : 8

"Google PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves important weigh more heavily and help to make other pages important."

Title : Official Google Blog
Description : -- Missing --
Meta Keywords : -- Missing --
No search words were entered for this report generation.

Though search words (and how the website ranks for them) is not used in the calculation of the SiteGrade, there are several important checks that the software makes related to the words entered. You may want to consider re-running the report for important words related to the site.
Meta-Keywords Not Found

There were no keywords detected in the meta-data of the website.

Though Google does not seem to place high relevance on meta keywords to determine the content of a website, other engines like Yahoo! may still look at these.

Since it doesn't hurt you to have meta-keywords, we'd suggest going ahead and adding them to the page.
Page Description Not Found

The HTML for the page does not contain a description element in the meta-data.

The description is used by search engines both for indexing and possibly for determing what summary to show for your page when it matches a search queyr. By not having a description, the site is missing out on an important search engine optimization (SEO) tactic.

Heading Summary

Similar to how newspapers and magazines use headings and sub-headings to help readers, websites can use special tags in their HTML. These tags not only help human readers read the content, they also help search engine spiders better understand the content on a page and what is most important. It is generally a good idea to use heading tags to help signal to the search engines, what the web page is about.

Image Summary

Images are a great way to enhance a website from a user's perspective. However, it is important to note that search engine crawlers cannot really "see" images. So, if you have lots of images that contain textual content within the image itself, this content will not be seen by the crawlers.

HTML helps address this issue by providing a way to specify the textual content for an image using the "alt" attribute. The alt attribute allows web pages to assign specific text as the "alternative" content for images for those that cannot view the images themselves. This can be search engine crawlers or text-only web browsers.

Conversion Methods

The WebSite grader attempts to measure both the ability for a website to attract traffic and the ability to convert that traffic into qualified leads and prospects. The software searches for common conversion mechanisms such as "calls to action". Examples include RSS feeds, email subscription forms and other ways that site visitors can express interest in the offering.
No Signup Form Found

The web page does not seem to contain any type of signup form where visitors can subscribe to a newsletter or future updates.

We would suggest adding some type of simple subscription form (at a minimum) that allows users to get email updates. This is a great way for visitors to express their interest in the company and it's offering and for the business to stay in touch. Though RSS usage continues to increase, email is still what a majority of site visitors know and understand.

Inbound Links

One of the most important measures for a website is how many other sites are linking to it. The more links the better.
