What Mark Does Your Website Get?
Pondered by Nat
quite a long while ago…
Courtesy of Lance Wiggs, I came across Website Grader (which I REALLY want to call Website GradR, due to it’s web 2.0ness).
It’s awesome.
There has been some controversy over whether or not the 6,000 odd links pointing to Decisive Flow are the high quality ones I think they are, or if they could in fact be (shock horror) junk. However, other than that, it’s a cool simple tool that gives you a nice insight into how well your website is doing marketing-wise.

If you install Google Webmaster tools, you will be able to see a full list of the external links to your site, and I guarantee all but a few will be junk.

I think it is a handy tool, though I wouldn’t rely on the numbers too heavily. Maybe as a comparison to competing sites it might serve as a useful guide.

He was certainly handing out pure alcoholic chocolates. Not sure if that’s ‘hot’ or ‘dodgy’ but certainly:
