Rosh, I am pretty sure that eventually a website’s score can be brought right up alongside the score of the blog that is paired with the website. You are right of course, blog software these days is really Google-friendly and the static parts of our websites need SEO work to keep up. When I first tried websitegrader it gave me several good suggestions, and once I implemented them the score went up a fair bit. Its a great tool. Cheers, Phil

@phil that just means you are doing it right.

Blogs tend to lend themselves to what google is looking for in a web site – updated fresh, good content with lots of quality links inbound and outbound.

PS – If Google is giving you a score of 6 – you are doing incredibly well.

You mention you expect blogs to rank much higher than web sites. My experience is that they are nearly the same, example: http://www.oceanlight.com/log/post-up-shoot-score.html (98.8 vs 98.7)

adam,

Thank you for the comment.

Absolutely, Googles webmasters is mandatory for anyone wanting to keep tabs on how Google views their web site and how it can be improved.

I’ll have to check out authoritylabs.com – thanks for the link.

I also find that google.com/webmasters is a good visual for seeing how many inbound links you might have and also where you rank for certain terms. Granted you can’t pick the terms, it’s terms which google sees that you already register for.

Some local Phoenix arizona guys started http://authoritylabs.com/ which is a simple ranking tool to see where you goggle for certain terms, then charts your progress. They also have a free version. I haven’t signed up but am going to to play around and see my stats.
