SEO Scoop

Posted by DazzlinDonna on July 11th, 2006 in SEO Tools

SEOmoz has come out with a new tool for SEOs, and as usual, it’s a good one. The Page Strength tool describes itself as supplying:

• The Relative Importance/Visibility of a Webpage
• The Potential Strength/Ability of a Page to Rank in the Search Engines
• Data on Popularity, Links & Mentions of the Page Across the Web

In short, it serves as an alternative to using PageRank to measure the importance of a webpage, with the Page Strength tool supplying us with a much broader set of data (as well as a numerical score) as a measurement.

It uses the following factors in determining a score:

Links pointing to full URL
Links pointing to domain
Position at Google for first four words of title tag on target URL
Age of Domain
Links from domains with .edu TLDs
Links from domains with .gov TLDs
Alexa Rank
Domain name visibility
Internal Link Percent
Number of search results for URL search at del.icio.us
Listings in DMOZ (ODP)
Links found in Wikipedia
Google Pagerank of full URL and Domain

You can even add a button to your browser’s bookmarks toolbar that will fetch the Page Strength of the page you are currently viewing. All in all, pretty sweet, and well worth using.

If you are the first to "discover" any of my posts in StumbleUpon, one of the following categories would probably be the most appropriate to place it into. You don't have to choose one of these, of course, but based on what I usually write about, there's a good chance any of my posts will fall into one of these categories.

Business * Computers * Computer Graphics * Computer Hardware * Computer Security * Databases * Ecommerce * Internet * Internet Tools * Linux/Unix * Marketing * Search * Self Improvement * Web development * Weblogs(Blogs) * Windows * Writing

   I prefer to use this one myself:

   Seems like this “new one” is a bit of a rip in some respects. Another way for SeoMoz to get traffic to their site. Well implemented, bit old and doesn’t really shed more light on anything to be quite honest.

   It includes a few more factors but at the end of the day it is just as good as using pagerank, which as we all know is not good at all

   I myself will stick with looking at my stats and my rankings to know if my site is good or not

   Thanks for the heads up though as always
