If you’re just starting out trying to get your website optimized for search engines, it’s a good idea to know where you’re starting from and to check your progress from time to time. One tool that I’ve been using to gauge my progress on the SEO front for a while is called Website Grader by Hubspot.

Website Grader analyzes your website for search engine optimization, traffic, the number of links coming into your website, your Google PageRank, even how effectively you’re turning visitors into customers and gives you a grade up to 100. The neat thing about this site is that gives you a breakdown of what you can improve on your website to give yourself a better score, plus you can also compare your website to another website that’s similar to yours to see how you measure up.

When I first started using this tool, my grade was a 57. I’ve managed to get it up to 86. So looks like I still have a bit of work to do! You can see how you measure up visiting Website Grader.com. And be sure to share your grades here in the comments!
