Well I’m somewhat organized in my new house now, so I thought I would try and get back to some meaningful blogging. I thought I would share with you some nice tools that can give some easy quick stats on your websites. I’ve been using these and find them really helpful when I want some quick information about my sites without having to dive into my web analytics program of choice.
dnScoop.com - This is kind of a cool fun site to look at on occasion. Basically it takes several factors of your site and based upon them if gives you an estimated value of what it predicts your website is worth. Some of the factors it analyzes are domain age, pagerank, inbound links, alexa rank, and number of index pages. Based on these criteria it also gives an estimate of what a link on your site is worth through TextLink Ads. I guess for me honestly this neat tool is just kind of fun to look at every now an then because its kind of fun to see how different factors can affect the perceived value of your site.
Xinu Returns - This is a really great tool that can give you alot of great information about your site in a very short amount of time. All you need to do is enter in your url and let the tool gather all of the information. Some of the info that it returns includes domain information, ranking info from pagerank to technorati, syndication information, social bookmark info, validation info, index pages count, and backlink information across a variety of sites. I’ve become a big fan of this site because of the amount of information I can get about my site in a short amount of time and I highly recommend taking a look at it.
Serph.com- Serph is actually another creation from ACS the same company that built CrazyEgg and as you know I’m a big fan of that. Basically Serph is a social media search engine that searches social media sites to see what people are saying on the web right now. I’ve found it useful when I search for some information regarding ClarkeW.com and I can see the sites or people that have stuff referencing content on my site. This is just another fun tool to see what is being said out in the social media world about you or another topic your interested in searching for.
Well there is a quick list of 3 sites that I find useful for my own sites, so hopefully you’ll be able to get something useful out of them as well. I do highly recommend checking each of the sites out, as you can get some great information out of all of them. If you do end up trying some of them out, let me know what you think.
