AboutUs.org adds new site report to help you improve SEO

As mentioned earlier AboutUs.org is doing a lot to create useful resources for everyone with a site or blog of some kind. Now they’ve done some more work on that and released a site report giving you a look at the most important SEO elements of our pages.

Since search engines are just machines (even if they are getting better and better all the time) it’s important that you structure your web site in a way that the robot can index your page correctly. If the search engine robot can’t index your page correctly you may miss out on important rankings in the search engine, perhaps because the search engine confused your title for your copyright information :cry: . In the early days of the web (read 1996) this may not have been a  big problem at all, but today the competition on the “good” keywords are bigger then ever. One ranking lower in the search engines could mean 1 000’s of fewer visitors per year (or even day).

Therefore you need to check your site or blog even if you know HTML in your sleep or if you had your blog theme made by professionals. To be sure you check the site correctly you need something just like the AboutUs.org Site Report to tell you (copied directly from the AboutUs.org site):

  • How well a site has optimized its page elements, including the page title, its meta description, major headings and image descriptions. These are the most important on-page factors for SEO and increasing site traffic.
  • Whether a website allows search engines to visit its pages and add them to their indexes. A web page must be in a search engine’s index in order to appear in any of its search results.
  • Whether a website resides at more than one location on the Web. Residing in multiple locations can interfere with SEO.
  • Which other websites a site links to, so website owners can catch any mischievous hacking and make sure outbound links are still live and relevant.

For $9.95/month you can check up to 50 pages on a single domain. You can of course recheck the pages as often as you like and you can change the 50 pages to other pages on your domain too. So as soon as you’ve worked on one page to be 100% search engine friendly 😉 you can remove it from the report and add a new page until you’ve checked all your pages. Every time you introduce a new element on your domain you can check to see if it’s search engine friendly and also do corrections before Google, Yahoo or Bing penalize you for it.
