Websitegrader

Facebook.com is a website I visit regularly.  According to Websitegrader, Myspace and Twitter came fairly close.  While FAcebook rated 94/100, Myspace rated 98/100, and Twitter rated 99/100.  I was shocked to see Facebook's rating below Myspace.  My assumption was that Facebook would have been the clear leader.  The major categories for which Hubspot based its grading on are:

* Website Grade
* MOZ Rank
* Google Indexed pages
* Traffic Rank
* blog grade
* inbound links
* del.icio.us bookmarks


Three recommendations I would make for the company's web designer and/or marketing group are:


1) Registering its domain for a long extended period of time, because search engines factor domain "stability" when looking at their pages and determining search priority;


2) And add maintain Conversion forms (since there was only one found).  Conversion forms is the primary way to harvest leads from your website; collect contact information from your visitors so that you can follow up with them later and stay in touch.  Without forms, you cannot convert your convert your website traffic into customers;


3) RSS Feed.  Though it is possible the site has RSS elsewhere on the site, it is best to make the feed discoverable on the home page itself.  The goal is quality sales leads and customers, so we need to focus on converting as much traffic as possible to leads and customers.
