What Did You Get On Your Report Card?

Every weekday I hang out here at Writer Off the Leash for at least a little while in the morning, writing a new blog entry or shooting a vlog. It's great fun. Made me wonder, though, how bad my author website might be languishing.

So I came across a cool site that tells you exactly how your site is doing in terms of marketing and such. It's called HubSpot. All you do is enter your website and it gives you a grade somewhere between 1 and 100. You can even compare your site to your buddy's or to other websites. 

And you know what? My suspicions were correct. My author site scored a pathetic 54 while this blog earned a 70.

Go ahead. Give it a whirl. Can you beat my grade?

Hi Michelle, hubspot wouldn't let me do the grader because it doesn't like a wordpress site. I get to be blissfully ignorant.

That's super strange. I just entered your Thoughts on Plot address into my page on Hubspot and it gave you a grade of 82...which is way better than my 70! And to make you feel even better, I had it score Wordserve LIterary's site and they scored the same as you, 82.

Sorry, but you don't get to wear your ignorant badge for today.

Have to try that too. Hi hi

Great site. I scored an 83 which totally surprised me. All depends what their algorithms are. With my traffic, they clearly aren't ranking that, lol. They gave me some tips to improve, if rather obvious, like "get more people to share your links". Heh.

Joy ~ I did it for you. You got a 77. Congratulations! You beat me!

Graeme ~ Wowzer! Way to go, buddy!
