Website Analysis
or My "How to Build a Website" is better than Your
"How to Build a Website"
(na na nana nah)
This is a true story about website analysis and how to build a website. When you decide you want your very own website, you will begin to run into expert website builders. How can you know if they area any good or not?
This is a case study of seven websites. Three websites from experts and the website analysis of four build with the system we feature here.
Well, you could start with questions? But what would you ask?
Suppose someone is selling on how to make a website that gets traffic. Would you expect the sites they build to get lots of visitors? Would you expect them to be able to show a number of sites built using their system? Would you ask them to show you the numbers?
You should ask.
Consider why.There are three numbers below. First we will show you the website analysis of the local experts. Then we will show you the website grade of sites built using the system and tips found here on Assist2web.com
These are some of the numbers you may want to look at when considering a website builder. These numbers are the website analysis ranking based of a sites complying with best practices. The numbers are like a grade with 100 being the best. The website analysis here plays a part in website traffic or web traffic.
Internet traffic or more importantly, how to increase traffic and get the web site visitor to stay on your site are part of what makes a great site. Your personal involvement will play a part in all of this.
When you have your own website, will you want it to get as close to the 100 as possible? Will you want it to get an A? Of course you will.
Remember the feeling when you were in school and you got your grade. Remember the feeling of getting an A. That A or your 100% meant you knew your stuff. It meant you had done your home work. It was a symbol of your success.
It was a way of saying that you got it right.
The reality of life is very few things in life do we get right. In the real world there are just too many variables. There are too many things that we have no control over.
When it comes to websites, they are one of the things many business people feel they have no control over. Well, if you feel that way, you need to know, things have changed. Yes, you can actually take control of your website and succeed.
Below are two sets of numbers, seven in total. They all have several things in common.
One of the commonalities is actually you.
The numbers are grades like that A or that 100%.
Looking for Something Different?
The first number, the 11 is somewhat ironic.
It is the number of years this website builder, the one who says he can make a website that gets traffic, has been in the web development business. As of January, 2010, he has been in the biz a total of 11 years.
He will tell you that he can build you a wonderful website. The number also represents the grade of the website of this website developer who will tell you that he can take care of you. Yep, he can build you a website. It will probably function great and look great.
The question is how much natural traffic do you think you will you get?
The second number is the website analysis of yet another web developer.
 He also builds beautiful websites. His site is a bit newer as he has redone it. His grade, 45.
This guy can do really expensive sites. Great if you want all show and....well...
Remember in school, when the where the bar was set if the grade was just passing? Generally it was over 70, sometimes it was 75. If someone is working for you, what kind of grade should their site get?
The third is the most interesting website analysis number. It belongs to this guy I met at a B2B meeting (business to business) meeting. He made his one minute pitch declaring that he is a SEO expert.
The score of this SEO expert was much better than the previous two. His website analysis score, if you have not figured out was a whopping 61. Remember, 100 is a perfect score. Remember too, he is an expert at SEO, or at least he says he is.
This analysis is based on SEO and how compliant a site is. Check it out for yourself. It is called Website Grader.
In his presentation he said it's important to be the first site listed in a web search.
In a recent Google Study, it was found that over 40% of all searchers skip the first page and went to the second search result page. According to Matt Cuts, this is because people know the results can be manipulated by SEO experts. Not to worry, our expert was not cheating the search engines as his numbers show.
In a conversation after the meeting, it turns out the expert indicated he did not know who Matt Cutts was.
You may not know who Matt Cutts is and understandably so. According to Wikipedia, "He is well known in the SEO community for enforcing the Google Webmaster Guidelines and cracking down on link spam."
He is part of the Search Quality group at Google. This group oversees SEO or search engine optimization. Consider what Wikipedia said, that he is well known in the SEO community.
Matt Cutts also offers free advice on how to get better website visibility in Google. If you join us, we will keep you up to date with all the latest changes and announcements.
Although you do not need to know who Matt is, would you expect an expert to know who the leading experts in the field are? They would if they were following their trade craft and trying to keep on top of their expertise.

Want a Website That Works?
Building a website using the principles found here will make it possible for beginners to get a better score than the experts.
Why Do It Yourself?
There are unique aspects to any business that only the person most passionate will know. If the website building is handed off to someone else, much of the potential traffic and profits will not be uncovered.
Even if someone else builds the site, it is an extension of your business if not your business. It is essential that you have a hand in the design and management of your website.
Website analysis and website analytics are simple measurements that will allow you to know how your doing. The same analysis will also tell you what you need to do. Web site analysis and making the changes are so easy, anyone can do them.
Get First Place Listing
I constantly get pitched by SEO companies offering to get my site first placement for my site. What does that mean?
1st in Google You would assume it means first place in Google.
When ever someone sends me this letter, I always write back and ask what do they mean. They never respond.
The problem is that if you site has 100 pages, you will probably want 100 pages to rank on the first spot on Google.
There are both on site and off site ways to improve the listing. Would you want to give access to your site to someone you do not know, especially if they were from another country?
There are off site things to improve your ranking, such as social media and links. If you hire someone and they do what they say, what guarantee do you have that they will not use illegal or black hat techniques.
Social Media will help your traffic. It may even produce raving fans who will be loyal customers.
