Are You Missing Out On One of The Best Free SEO Tools?

HubSpot is the maker of some pretty amazing inbound marketing tools that can be pretty useful for big organizations. However, as a blogger, you probably don’t have the resources or even the need for the super strong tools they offer. However, what you do have a need for is some of the free grading tools they offer. According to Grader.com they are a family of tools that help measure all that matters in inbound marketing. And it’s true they offer a Twitter Grader, a Facebook Grader, and a Book Grader just to name a few. But for your blog you will want to use the Website Grader.

The Website Grader is really quite simple to use. You only have to know your own url and email address and they take care of the rest.  After you submit your information they take less than 5 minutes to scan your site. They compile all the information they gathered into a report provides you with information about when Google last crawled your website, how many pages Google indexed, the readability level, the number of incoming links, and so much more. You can then use your received grade and feedback to improve upon your blog.

I have decided to create a new weekly series of posts covering the topic of  Search Engine Optimization for bloggers. I will post a new tip every Monday for the next several weeks.   Some of the tips you may already be familiar with but I’m hoping that with each tip you get a better understanding of how Google robots crawl your site. Ultimately using that knowledge to apply those principles to other areas of your web site.

Now I’m not claiming to have hidden secrets that will send you to the top of a Google search.  Also, there are no guarantees on how this will all work for your site. Anyone that promises these things isn’t telling you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  But the principles I will discuss will not only help visitors to your site but will also help search engines index your site. So in my opinion it’s a win-win.
