I got a 65% based it said on the fact that I was hosted through blogspot. Is this free because it wants me to buy a domain name? The rest of the info it analyzed where the blogiesta posts so I&#39;d be interested to check it out on a week when I have posted reviews recently. More inspection!

I was surprised about the feedback about the number of pictures on the site. I will also be looking into metadata and del.icio.us.<br /><br />Thanks so much for this mini-challenge!<br /><br />peetswea01 (at) yahoo (dot) comKristihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06740407235304163454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-6508282053478866492010-06-12T15:29:29.492-04:002010-06-12T15:29:29.492-04:00I was surprised I was ranked higher than expected.

Overall, I&#39;m satisfied with the report about my blog: I have a grade of 94% which I think is good for the 4 months I&#39;ve been blogging, and I&#39;m in the top 4,4% of all blogs when it comes to traffic. I&#39;m very excited about that. It says I need to add a meta-tag (but I can&#39;t find that on wordpress) and that I have too many images ( I disagree). What I&#39;d like to work most on (but I don&#39;t know how) is having more links/delicious, etc referrals.<br /><br />irisonbooks [at] gmail [dot] comirisonbookshttp://irisonbooks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-15404166539197147772010-06-12T04:27:55.121-04:002010-06-12T04:27:55.121-04:00Thanks for this very interesting post and link. I also was surprised about the missing meta tags and will add some. Thanks also for the link hot to do it in WP.

I then re-added metadata (which I&#39;d lost when I changed my template) and my score jumped up to 97%! It&#39;s really worth adding metadata!

Not bad! <br /><br />I need to add a meta description (makes sense, but I need to find out how). <br />It gave me a MOZ rank of 0, no Google Page rank (isn&#39;t that odd?). <br />I have too many images or they are too large. Well, a few images per post liven up the post, but I will check on their size. and see if I an improve on that.<br />My Traffice rank is top 12% of all websites. That&#39;s not bad, is it?<br /><br />Judith - jh303015 at gmail dot com (Europe)leeswammeshttp://leeswammes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-3973845224875782312010-02-24T04:31:03.710-05:002010-02-24T04:31:03.710-05:00<a href="http://www.myusshopnship.com/index.php" rel="nofollow">worldwide shipping</a>-International Shipping Worldwide and USA Package Forwarding.

However, I ran the test a few weeks ago and was in the 70s, I think. So I must be doing something better lately. Hmmm... I&#39;m trying to remember to include links as much as possible. Maybe that&#39;s it. Or the fact that I posted 4 times today!
