one of the ways i base how well my site is dsigned is by woorank. i have gotten my score up to 54ish. is this a good judge or is there something else i could be doing... i really like my site and i redid the text for seo but i feel like i could be doing more. I has built a small following and have moved up the ranks in google but i really not enough. everyone i work with likes me(other then the crazies we all have) but if i cannot be found how can i grow?

ooo yea i use yoast wp plugin for seo and all my pages execpt a couple have green checks. i dont know if this matters but though i would mention it.

thanks everyone i appreciate any and all input.
 
Where do you find this overall score. Never heard of them so I went there to check my site.....

no score but lots of info (although a some of that info is incorrect, like it says I don't have analytics setup and I do... says I don't have any images on my site and I have tons... says I don't have a blog... other stuff I doubt like it says I have facebook likes and I don't have a facebook page!)

It does say my traffic estimation is extremely low (I get 9k unique new visitors / 13k visits total a month according to analytics which it says I don't have set up...) Hmm...

EDIT: oh, duh. I see the score now. It's 48

Its a pretty good indicator. The information's all relevant. But keep it in perspective - you dont need 100% or everything greenlit to have a perfectly good website.
 
I don't think it's a good judge of "design" more a good judge of SEO friendliness. My site is currently 59.4. But I just saw this, which I never knew (and now I just renewed for 5 years):
"Do you know that you can register your domain for up to 10 years? By doing so, you will show the world that you are serious about your business. Plus, it is good for your SEO."

That's what I was wondering about in my last PM to you Jim. The site seems to place a lot of weight on the importance of facebook, twitter, etc. I don't rely on those so I get "dinged" for not having them. Monitoring with Google Analytics tells me my new site (Thanks again Jim!!) is doing fine thank you very much. :D

I was looking at this site earlier in the week and was impressed with the range of indicators it used. I got a score of 51.8 and was dinged for not having social media connections. I can live with out them. ;)

The number, by itself, is largely meaningless

Look at the specifics, and the 'severity' of them - how important they are, as perceived by the instrument, but also do your own critical thinking about how important they are to you

Like Mike said, for him the penalty for not having 'social media' is meaningless - and indeed for anyone not actually utilising these resources, there would be absolutely NO benefit to them from the score increase in terms of the website's real-world performance.

Relax. This tool is not definitive. Its just a set of guidelines. Educate yourself about the relative importance of them and work on the ones that matter to your actual site's performance. Anything else is purely 'academic'

To take this analysis further, I built a site for a TN member a few weeks ago. Within two weeks I had page one rankings for most of his keywords and about 8 at #1 position - purely from the SEO structure of the site - in other words, with no off-page SEO. This is in anyone's language, an excellent result, and the site is functioning very well. It also has a woo score of about 50 ... that does not mean its a bad site, it just means it has a woo score of 50. The score doesnt correspond to the site's actual SERP performance.

You could, Im sure, take a site with a score of 100 and not have anywhere near the pagerank on it for a different set of keywords in a different area. The score cannot 'think'.

Its just a number, and a set of indicators.

Decide for yourself which are important/relevant to you - and which are not.

This is a great BUT you can only use it once a week without paying for the service.

If you take a deeper look there are others that are totally free :)

Woorank is a spider of of sorts. It has absolutely no way of knowing if you have a 'good' or 'bad' design as these are largely subjective and can differ greatly depending on the HUMAN viewing them. The only way to know if your design is negatively affecting conversions is by a/b split testing.

Woorank is just a guideline, you can work toward 100 if you like but it's nothing to obsess over. Put that effort toward better conversion rate instead. That's the number you should be obsessed with.

I tried hotspot shield before even reading this post and yes it DOES NOT work. It says it's been tried on the VPN IP. Boooooo

I found some of the stuff the thing said about my site a tad annoying and irrelevant. Its not Google or Bing after all.

It's still a cool tool, I would not take it too seriously. I much rather use it to analyse and compare successful competitors. I think that's where its value comes in.

The score is a bit a gimmick; get a 100 and find yourself not even on SERPs. LOL
 
Stange HotSpot Shield doesn't work for you. I use it frequently on woorank (and any other ip restricting website) to test improvements instantly.

The paid version does this I think, but I don't pay for SEO help. I've been using the free version of SEO powersuite for comparing to competitors, it's other features are very cool too! Probably worth paying for, but I'm cheap :)
 
This really makes me mad, I ran my site off woorank.com and now when I google search my freaking site it shows up as a result with 2 out of 5 stars. So that the average consumer looking at my site can scrutinize me as a business. This is stupid.

Don't run your site at woorank.

EDIT: I have submitted to have my site pulled of the index. Lets see how that goes.

BTW… use HotSpot Shield to avoid the 1 rank per day (or week?) limit :)

to do it more than once with hotspot sheild you have to disconnect and start a new one. it then uses a different ip. still a lot better than waiting a week.
