Hey, Mr. Pink Bunny, in regards to that Closet site,your results are quite impressive considering you have just started. I took a peek-a-boo, and seems like there are quite a bit of keywords and phrases, considering the ALTs, etc. Everything seems to work for you. Why wouldn't 'keyword stuffing' thing apply there ? BTW, I think you are an intellectual giant in a land of mental midgets. ô¿ô

Its kind of a link popularity per page test, such things as wiki links, .edu links & .gov links bump it up & so on

It's not stuffing if you tell the spider what the site is about on the home page (they want it and need it) but the content has to be there. The engines will give the site a grace period, (in case you're still building), but after the grace period has expired and the content is not there, they consider it stuffing and the positions will drop like a rock (this was the original meaning of sandbox). If the engines consider the site relevent it will place high in its area.
Not to worry, the spiders come back after the grace period, it will get indexed after they find the content, it just takes a little longer the next time.

I warned the CEO about this and advised him the site needs to be developed asap.
Since I do work only if the money is paid up front, I'm waiting.....

I did promise to put up a couple pages to show them the look and feel of the site, and got a commitment..... I'm willing to provide a long term commitment to the companies growth - but they will have to pay for it - Budgets are sometimes the prime consideration ....

Thanks for the comment, but it's not about smart it's about out-working the other guy. most web guys aren't stupid, they're lazy - hence - link building. I try to never allow sites to link to one of the ones I maintain - lazy asses should build there own content.....lol

I think Page Strength is worse than Pagerank. We know Pagerank at least gives an idea of our site's popularity in Google's eyes. What does Page Strength give?

Seomoz designed page strength to give a summary of factors given to the tested url

The factors that go into page strength are:

Quote:

Links pointing to full URL - This is the number of links that are pointing to your page. If you were viewing a report for http;//www.example.com/my-page, this would be the number of incoming links to that exact URL. This factor is an indication of link strength to your specific URL.
Links pointing to domain - This is the number of links that are pointing to your domain. If you were viewing a report for http;//www.example.com/my-page, this would be the number of incoming links to www,example.com. This factor is an indication of link strength across your entire domain.
Position at Google for the first four words of title tag - This is the position in the search results for the first four words of the HTML title tag on your page. For instance, the title tag of SEOmoz's home page is "Read SEOmoz, Rank Better" and we rank #1 for that term. This factor is a good indication of how well your page is performing at the search engines for a term that is relatively unique. If it's not ranking it may be possible that your site is experiencing a penalty, spidering issue, or is new and has not earned search engine "trust" yet. We chose the first 4 words because using the entire title tag was usually too unique and would almost always report a site ranking in the top 10. Using less than 4 words from the title tag would was too broad and most sites would typically be absent from the serps. After a bit of research, 4 words seem to be the happy medium between the two that returned the most accurate results.
Age of Domain - This is a measurement of how long your domain has been registered: the older the better. Older sites are considered more trusted by the search engines and typically have an easier time ranking for competitive terms.
Links from domains with .edu TLDs - This is the number of links to your page that are from .edu websites ( such as www,harvard.edu) . Search engines consider these more valuable than traditional .com or .net links.
Links from domains with .gov TLDs - Same as above
Alexa Rank - In short: the lower your Alexa Rank, the better. Alexa assigns a score to every website that is an indication of popularity. It computes this score by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa Toolbar users. Although somewhat unreliable in many sectors, the Alexa rank is the most reliable when comparing websites is similar sectors. For example: comparing the Alexa rank of a website about web design versus a site about kittens would not be an accurate comparison. However, comparing the Alexa rank of a website about web design versus a site about web programming would be.
Domain name visibility - If your website is www,example.com, the domain name visibility is the number of results that are returned at Google for a search for "www.example.com." (in quotes). Adding the quotes changes the search query to show pages across the web that have mentioned www,example.com, without quotes it would simply return a list of pages that Google has indexed from www,example.com. This is a good measurement of how visible your domain is: are people talking about your domain? Is it getting mentioned on forums, blogs, etc?
Internal link percent - This is the percent of pages on your domain that link to your target URL. For instance, lets suppose your target URL was www,example.com/my-page. The internal link percent would be the percentage of links on www,example.com that point to www,example.com/my-page. It is a way of measuring the importance of a URL on a domain. If the URL you are fetching a Page Strength report is for the homepage of your website the internal link percent is usually 100% because almost all pages link back to the homepage.
Number of links according to Technorati - Technorati is a blog search engine, this is the number of sites Technorati has found that are linking to your URL. Although weighted more toward blogs, Technorati counts links much quicker than Google and provides a better number of links initially than Google or Yahoo.
Number of search results for URL search at del.icio.us - del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site where users collaboratively share websites. We use the number of people that have bookmarked your URL as an indication of popularity.
Listings in DMOZ (ODP) - Although it definitely doesn't pass the value it once did, links a link from DMOZ is still considered powerful.
Links found in Wikipedia - Wikipedia links are valuable - this is the number of links from Wikipedia to your target URL.
Google PageRank of full URL and Domain - Although inaccurate and infrequently updated, Google PageRank still offers some indication of the strength of a URL.

The problem with these kind of checkers is the script is written by a person and they have to be an "expert" in seo. In this case, this guy got a script that he "thinks" gives page strength. There's an old saying in the data and programing field -

Quote:

shit in shit out

Not implying that this is a crappy script, but automation and stats only go so far. Analysis by someone who knows what they are looking at will beat a machine everytime.

I know programmers and dotnet guys who could help me write a script for seo, it would take 6 months to a year to write the script and apply what I know, and then it would have to be updated monthly.

I wouldn't want to put in the time or the money to have something like that developed. Can you imagine the processing that would have to take place? comparison to competition, placement of text, alt and link title composition and weight, text placement, and location, .....never mind to much to even consider...... It would take a least a 20 meg application......lol

If you like to believe that PR is the only factor or prime coonsideration in seo and marketing it's a great little script.
Hope my competition uses it alot.

It is good, but i dont feel that one can rely on it. It is simply giving preference to number of back links, however search engines itself do not pay heed to bulk of back links. They always look out for quality of back links
