I've been following some of it through your blog. How was the results of the sponsorship of Daring Fireball? I'm interesting to see if you had any success with it. I thought it was a very smart way to stretch your marketing dollars.<BR/><BR/>I'll have the next rounds of grades up soon. Probably early next week. I know I finally got a page rank, so I'm interested to see how everyone else is doing.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703962789520347272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323505072943981741.post-24542588200520894312008-01-31T22:58:00.000-08:002008-01-31T22:58:00.000-08:00Hi Chris, sorry for the late reply, i just noticed...Hi Chris, sorry for the late reply, i just noticed that you posted a january WebSiteGrader update. The big change for us since the beginning of december is that we launched our first product and did a PR blitz to go with it. The PR campaign was very successful in that it generated a lot of inbound links (and some sales, too 8- ). So the only advice i can give is to get noticed which will in turn get you links. We're a Mac shop, so we released our press release via prmac.com which got us coverage in many of the major online Mac outlets. However, your mileage may vary.<BR/><BR/>This monthly grading project has been very enlightening; thanks so much for doing it! I just subscribed to your blog, so i'll be able stay in touch.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>Keith from Helium Foot SoftwareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323505072943981741.post-24705931262789256332008-01-21T02:42:00.000-08:002008-01-21T02:42:00.000-08:00For those interested, Lokad is relying on Screwtur...For those interested, Lokad is relying on Screwturn.eu to power its website.

I don't know how much lack of posts affects the score. I think it does to some degree, but I don't think a lot. I could be wrong about that though. We'll find out next month.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703962789520347272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323505072943981741.post-55006960533988038412008-01-14T13:16:00.000-08:002008-01-14T13:16:00.000-08:00Hi Chris,Hope things are well.Not much change on m...Hi Chris,<BR/><BR/>Hope things are well.<BR/><BR/>Not much change on my part. Announcing my ideas probably bumped me up a bit.

By default wordpress (and other blogs) are set up for better than average SEO which reflects in the score.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703962789520347272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323505072943981741.post-12360209984733048192008-01-02T17:26:00.000-08:002008-01-02T17:26:00.000-08:00Having someone keep track of us every month is a g...Having someone keep track of us every month is a good incentive to keep improving!<BR/><BR/>I noticed that a lot of the things that WebSiteGrader looks for depend heavily on your CMS. I started with WordPress and even completely empty sites get a score of about 38. I'm suspect that this is a positive reflection on WordPress - a lot of the things that search engines (and hence WebSiteGrader) look for are default on WordPress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
