“Website Grader” scores your website based on Content, Marketing, and Speed

Website Grader
Search engine optimization has become one of the most important and blatantly juiciest parts of the Web 2.0 movement. Since massive changes in the way search engines work and with the help of Googles part in sparking the movement there has been a wildfire of new strategies for reaching the #1 spot on search engine result pages.
Some can agree that back in the day when AOL 3.0 and Dial-up was running the show that the most important parts of a website that mattered were speed, optimization, and relevant material. One: I didn’t want to wait 20 minutes to download these 100+ pages of Goldeneye 007 gameshark codes; Two: I didn’t want to spend 5 minutes waiting for a website to load and then find out it’s not what I was looking for.
The Website Grader gives your website a score by, you guessed it..grading and giving scores to various categories and sub-categories of your website (or someone elses) for a complete average. Basically, you end up with a test score.
The various subjects and categories it grades on include but are not limited to:
- Content and Blog Analysis, Grade, and Recent Articles with Retweets and Inbound Links.
- Optimization Tips based on Metadata, Headings, and Image Summery showing how many images your page contains.
- Domain information.
- Promotion and Marketing information including del.icio.us bookmarks, Link Tweet Summary, and a Twitter Grade.
Each of these, including the ones I didn’t mention can all contribute to the usability and promotion of your website which could ultimately lead up to more traffic and useful input. Keep grading, keep optimizing.
Commit Web 2.0 Suicide

Web 2.0 Suicide Machine
Who doesn’t love being on the latest social networking site?
That’s what I thought.
…but, if you are one of the millions that are on Facebook, Myspace, twitter, and wish you had never joined; don’t worry. There is hope.
A friend of mine was going out for a job interview with a very important company. Of course he had a profile on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and a few others. Being worried about evidence of activities they wouldn’t like for obvious reasons he had to go through and scrape as much of his pictures, status updates, friends, etc that he could. My friend spent a good day removing whatever he could find. Of course, this could have been easier..
The Web 2.0 Suicide Machine will take care of all the work for you. The automated website / script will login to your accounts, remove all your friends, remove all status updates and tweets, and make your profile and information completely private and removed. Basically, it kills your “social network” profiles.
If you watch South Park at all, you already know about this and probably wondered, “Hm…I wonder if it’s real” and I can assure you it is. The only difference is you won’t be sucked into a Tron 2.0-like Facebook internet mall environment where everyone ignores you while you are transported by Facebook-Guards.
If you are wondering which episode of South Park this was featured on follow the link below to download the episode via ThePirateBay.

If you like to automate things; whether because you are lazy or just simply get tired of double clicking and typing doesn’t seem to bother you, try ControlPad.
ControlPad, by Sector-Seven, is a simple, tiny program that runs in the background until you tell it what to do. In it’s home directory it has a file “CommandList” which you can open and edit yourself to have it automate simple tasks.
Reading the help file for this software is essential in knowing it’s operations. For instance, “+” marks the beginning of a key sequence.
Check out their website for more information on themselves and on the software. I highly recommend it as we are using it all the time here at the office.
