Louis: Hello, and welcome to another episode of the SitePoint Podcast. We’re back with a regular panel this week with a few slight modifications, so Stephan couldn’t make it this week but have another special guest filling in for him, so let’s start with the regulars, hi Patrick!

Patrick: Lewis, Louis, my friend.

Louis: You’ll get there.

Patrick: My friend whose name I can’t remember, how are you, sir?

Louis: (Laughs) I am very well, how are you?

Patrick: Excellent, excellent.

Louis: It’s been a while. We had a couple interview shows and then a couple live shows before that, so it’s been quite a long time since we’ve been on the show together.

Patrick: It has.

Louis: And Brad on the line as well.

Brad: Hello! You’re right it has been a while.

Louis: Yeah. And new to the panel this week and sort of filling in for Stephen who couldn’t make it because he started a new job is Josh Catone from Mashable , hi Josh!

Josh: Hey, everyone, good to be here.

Josh: I’m the features editor at Mashable, so I manage anything that’s basically not news, all of our lists and how-to’s and info graphics and Op-Ed’s and all of our guest writers, anyone who’s contributing to Mashable who’s not on staff I manage all of that.

These tools can be used to check: Google Page Rank, Alexa Page Rank, Google Link Popularity, Yahoo Link Popularity, MSN Link Popularity, Title Tag, Meta Keywords and Meta Description Tags.

Google PageRank is Google’s method of putting a numeric value on the importance of a page on the web based on the links to that page. The assumption being the more links coming into a page the more important that page must be. Google takes into account the importance of the page linking to the web page being measured and screens out link farms. A web site with a high Google Page Rank is considered a much better link to acquire than one with a low Google Page Rank.

The Alexa Page Rank checker allows anyone to instantly check a web sites page ranking based on traffic as assessed by Alexa. The Alexa Page Rank is like a golf score in that a lower number is better. This is helpful in determining a web site’s traffic and in assessing the value of linking partners. More traffic can be generated for you from a link that has high traffic.

The Google, Yahoo and MSN link popularity tools show how many links to a web site are found on each search engine. The Title Tag, Meta Keywords and Meta Description Tags are important to on page search engine optimization. These tools are particularly helpful in assessing the search engine optimization of competitor web sites.

“We are trying to provide useful search engine optimization tools on our web site to assist people in quickly getting valuable information for their search engine optimization efforts”, explained ArteWorks SEO CEO Matt Foster.
