This article lists tools and suggestions that I want to remember for promoting and measuring the "success" of blogs and blogsites ("real" web-sites made with blogging tools).
Measurement Tools and Techniques
Website Grader by HubSpot
Free. Gives you a mark out of 100, and a report with suggestions for improvements. You need to give them an email address, but the report is provided on-line.
Blog-grader by HubSpot
Free. Gives you a mark, but it's not quite clear what it's out off. Ranks based on how often you post, and how many words per post. Includes a table of number of posts by week-day and time-of-day.
