Page Strength Analysis Tool

By Matt Mickiewicz | July 13, 2006 | SEO and SEM

SEOMoz.org has developed a fantastic tool that calculates something they call “Page Strength” which can be used in to gauge the importance and visibility of any Website or Webpage.

I think it’s a great tool for any budding entrepreneur or marketer to have, as the Page Strength score is probably a much more accurate reflection of a Websites importance than Alexa Rank or Google PageRank alone.

Page Strength is based on a number of factors:

Links pointing to the URL & domain
Position in Google for the first four words of the title tag
Age of the Domain
Links from .edu and .gov domains
Age of the Domain Name
Links from Wikipedia, del.icio.us, DMOZ.org
Google PageRank, Alexa Rank, and more

Give Page Strength a try on your own Website, or the next time you’re looking to acquire through the SitePoint MarketPlace.

Give it a try.

momonari January 15, 2008 at 9:25 am: The only sucky thing about it imho is that you’re limited to 2 free searches per day. That’s really not a lot. Unless you want to pay for the service, it’s not very helpful.

Steve Waganer November 3, 2006 at 9:47 pm: Its amazing very nice post and very helpful too.
devberlin October 1, 2006 at 3:05 am: Really an excellent tool for checking basic aspects of SEO
sembasics September 27, 2006 at 2:31 am: Has anyone tested how well this tool actually works? It looks and sounds impressive, but pages aren’t just strong in particular, they are also strong for particular keywords. A site may be an old site, with a lot of high quality incoming links, but another site may still out-rank depending of certain link related factors such as the anchor text, the theme of the sites linking to a particular webpage, the relevancy of a link, and a number of other important factors. It doesn’t sound to me like this tool measures for those factors, although I could be wrong (I haven’t thoroughly checked out this tool). Also, I don’t mean to say that this tool has no value, just that we should understand what it’s value is.
All the best,
Moshe

Manpasand August 3, 2006 at 3:19 am: Nice tool, Thanks for sharing with us.
dreras July 21, 2006 at 10:14 am: It’s nice to actually have a tool that tells you what you need to do to improve your site. Google’s PR is nice but it doesn’t give you any help on how to improve. With the Page Strength Tool you can exactly pin point what you need to do for your website to perform better in the SERPS.

AlexW July 13, 2006 at 11:45 am: Nice find, Matt. That is super useful.
Yogler July 13, 2006 at 8:17 am: Hey, that is slick. Thank you for sharing.
