The web is filled with all sorts of tools to help you gain SEO-related knowledge about your website; however, I came across the tool below and found that it provides a lot of relevant information that can help your website succeed on the web. For this week’s tool on mySEOblog, I would like to bring your attention to StatMyWeb.
I have provided an elaborate paragraph from StatMyWeb below that grately describes its function below:
A few days ago, I stumbled across a quality tool called RapidSiteCheck that will allow you to find the net worth of your website. This is a great tool that you may want to run daily on your website, especially if your business or website is involved within the online advertising world.
RapidSiteCheck is a great tool for evaluating various multidisciplinary sections of your website. This site will report the following information to you so that you can be up to speed with your website’s SEO performance and its monetary information as well:
To make searching the Internet more personable to you and to organize the SERPs in a more-personable fashion, the search giant Google is always looking for and implement ways to make search more social and local to the search queries that you perform. Google introduced this theory by integrating social networking features into its SERPs last year (which can be read about here), and now, Google advances this premise one step further with “Search, Plus Your World.”
“Search, Plus Your World” was unveiled last week to help make searching the web via Google even more personable to you by implementing the following features (paraphrazed from Blogspot’s GoogleBlog post):
The social networking giant Facebook is a great place for customers to interactively communicate with businesses, mostly by leaving comments, sharing pictures, and “liking” business-related pages. In a way, Facebook (as well as other social networking sites) can be thought of as taking attention away from actual websites (as discussed in this mySEOblog article). With this in mind, many analysts need information and tools to help gauge how well and popular their business’ Facebook pages are, and now the social networking giant provides these tools, because Facebook business pages are becoming an integral part of business as well.
The new way Facebook is presenting the visitor information to you is by a service called “Insights.” This new service from Facebook provides you with statistical information on both the “likes” and “talking about” aspects of your Facebook page. To view the “Insights” of your Facebook page, click on either the “likes this” or “talking about” links on the left-hand side of your business’ Facebook page. Do note that you must be logged into Facebook and also an administrator of the business page that you would like stats on.
When people think of the search giant Google, many consumers think of this huge company that owns the Internet and also does not adhere to any of the public’s interests. With all big companies and entities, this may be the case; however, with what I will be showing you below, this is not the case for the world’s most popular search engine. Google wants to know how they can improve their search engine during this new year.
Last week, John Mueller, an analyst on the Google Webmaster Trends Team, published the following post on his Google Plus feed:
“Google has tried a lot of new things this year when it comes to webmaster support — such as the hangouts in a variety of languages. Which parts do you all think we should work on next year? How can we make it easier for you all to make awesome websites, which are easily findable in web-search?
“
It has been a while since I have published a Blekko-related article, and since this quality search engine recently underwent an update to its service, I thought it would be apropos to communicate this to you because Blekko is a great alternative search engine to use.
Last week, Blekko announced and unveiled new changes to their search engine design and indexing, along with adding slashtags to 500+ categories. The team at Blekko had the following to say about its mission for the upcoming year:
In the SEO world, backlinks are everything. These are links that are targeted to your website that come from various web sources and properties, such as: blogs, directories, and even social media websites. The reason why backlinks are so important within the SEO world is because the more backlinks that you have pointing to your website, the higher your website will move up within the SERPs. One of the factors of Google’s PageRank system is also based on the amount of links.
How do you know how many unknown backlinks your website has, as well as where they come from? You can perform an easy search for the backlinks to your website by utilizing the WhoLinksToMe website.
Back in November, I published a blog post titled “Google Announces Ten Recent Algorithm Changes,” which elaborated the ten most recent changes the search giant Google implemented to make searching better, and also it helped to eliminate spam as much as possible, with the release of its Panda algorithm. To see some of the most recent changes the search giant has implemented to its search facility, please read this recent mySEOblog post.
As an addendum to these recent changes, Google has implemented ten more changes to its product, and I have provided a paraphrazed list of the newly announced changes below for your convenience.
