New SEO Tool: Website Health Check Tool

Just tested and it seems very nice :)

btw. maybe you should put direct link at the end of the post, I didnt get the "image link" from the first read ;)

Thanks Mario
I added it.

I't seems like it has some problems with special characters like the é in titles. (Firefox)

Finally a good seo tool to come back to day after day. I see a lot of potential and a high branch factor in terms of product features. Congrats on addressing a problem. Will look into v2 for sure :)

Just tried your tool on my site and I must say I found it extremely useful. I am also getting something funny with my page as the user above stated with the accents (some of my pages have spanish accents).

tried it with both neue.co.uk and ihype.co.uk and it says not meta etc... theres deffo a bug duder!

Tested it, works great with me! Good work.

Guess I can stop working today!

Probably one of the top 3 tools for free online. Especially going 1000 deep. Most free tools are very limited on number of pages.

On top of that, the tool is BLAZING FAST!

I am being returned lots of results for folders that I have hidden with robots.txt - thus the tool is returning data (a lot of it) that is not really relevant for me.

Aprt from that, it looks like it will be a great little app when out of beta.

Hey Aaron,

Idea. Any chance of being able to select between Yahoo / MSN / Goog as a source? They many times shows a different set of 1000 pages. That would allow us to get info on more pages.

Just an idea.

Hi Aaron

I like it!

Seems to not always see the title tags and description tags, even when they are present, but excellent in most other ways.

Thanks a million for a great tool. Let us know when you're happy with it and we'd love to link to it or embed to some of our sites etc.

Hi Dave
This grabs the snippets from Google and uses those as a proxy for meta descriptions. ... They are not one and the same, but have a strong overlap.

Got you.

Great idea, congrats to your anonymous programmer.

aaron, this tool will really save me hours of time each week. thank you.

i did notice that this text is goofy:

Pagerank: d, 07 Nov 2007 00:06:49 GMT Server: Apache search again

my sites are hosted on a microsoft server, and wtf is pagerank d : )

Hi Corey
could you put in a URL or a similar URL to yours if you see something kicking out an error?

I'm registering duplicate content, but that's because the title and description meta are appearing 2x on the same page.

Is that bad?

Hi Aaron

I think this is the best tool you have released yet!

Also getting the same error as corey:

Pagerank: d, 07 Nov 2007 00:59:04 GMT Server: Apache search again

This was when I tested this site: www.versatile.co.nz <-- (CMS sucks :(

Other than that thank you this - a valuable asset to any SEO's arsenal!

Oh forgot to mention this site is hosted on a windoze server again same as corey.

Cheers
Aidan

Aaron, I discovered some things on my site that no other tool, or I, had uncovered. Then I ran a client site and found their staging arena is wide open for all to find!

Although I'm using the All-in-One SEO Tool on my SEO Diva site, and the titles/descriptions appeared to be fine, the tool shows them as being duplicates of the home page. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Thanks for this great tool.

Kay

Hi Kay
Well if they show up on this tool they are indexed in Google, and if there is heavy duplication of page titles that is at the very least suboptimal, and possibly much worse.

Hi Aaron
Nice Tool.One of the site I checked. It was working well, but If I tried the One Week, 24 hours or One Month, It dint show me any results says," Google did not Index the page, But when I do a site:www.domain.com and do a cached, that shows me that Google Indexed the site, like a few days ago. Is there a reason?
actionquest was the site I tried
Thank you
Suresh

This tool's last week, last month, etc. date features are not about just when a page was last cached, the tool is focused on when a page was discovered.

Pretty nice tool that I commented on my SEO blog. Just a thing : swf files are reported has having "Missing title tags and description" which is logical, but not relevant. You should filter swf files perhaps ?

I tested a website we designed and host for possible omissions. The results stated that 7 pages on the site were without title tags and descriptions. A simple 'view source' showed all to have both title tags and descriptions. A review of our document sources also showed the information to be there. All else appeared to match our checks.

Great to have this useful tool.

One question, after checked my site sharefilter.com, the "Indexes and homepages" shows previous version of index page - sharefilter.com/index.htm instead of my latest verion of index.php

I notice the same for google search result, it picks up my index.htm rather than index.php

The change from index.htm to index.php took place a few months ago. How do I get google to change it in the search results?

Your help is heartly appreciated.

301 redirect the old URLs to the new location by changing your .htaccess file

all in all, great tool! may be nice to have some quick internal link navigation on the results page...ie quick link at the top to go to: Missing title tags and description, Missing just description, Duplicate Title Tags, etc. Keep up the good work!

Good tool, it helped me on a few items already. Between this and your book which I recently purchased, I've found a few tips & tricks I did not already know, it was definitely a good purchase. Your site also helped pushed me over the edge to start my own blog (http://www.harrybishop.ca - online advertising and vintage Seiko watches). I've already added your site to my link list, hopefully it will help some other people also. Thanks again!

Hi Harry
Watches and online marketing are both competitive topics. I would recommend creating two separate channels to make each channel more relevant to the end user, easier to subscribe to, and easier to brand.

Aaron,

Excellent tool. What's an easy way to generate a list of all the url's that canonicalated incorrectly.

Thanks,

P

I think you have to use a tool like this to find such issues, and then pick up on those patterns and use them to find other related URLs.

Aaron,

Great tool! Thanks very much. It'll take me a while to figure out how to actually make the changes to eliminate these problems (more video fodder? ;-) ). The CSV output is handy. It struck me as a little weird at first to have the output appear in a non-scrolling window, though it was no problem to select it all and copy. Just a UI observation.

Mark

Great Tool. Thanks so much. Answers questions that I have been having for sometime but haven't had a time to investigate manually.

Thanks!

Hi Aaron

I tried to analyse my site http://soundfab.com

Don't know if the tool has crashed or just overused. My site is not very big though.

Not getting any results back - or an error page for that matter.

The tool was blazing fast off the start. I might have to put it behind a registration wall or something to lower usage and improve performance.

aaron, i am still enjoying the tool but have run into a few more issues.

-no timeout. i have a site that seems to throw the tool into an eternal loop.

please wait while we talk to google ........

the dots are continually added as time goes on

- the pagerank is still goofy for sites hosted on IIS/microsoft

please have your developer email me at corey.salzano at gmail and i'll provide urls

Hi Corey
I am having him take a look at it.

It seems to return title tags that are out of date. My site has a new title tag and comes up with that title tag in Google today, but, in running the test, it comes up with a very old title tag.

The tool might be showing you cached results of your site or it might be hittind a different Google data center than the one you are seeing.

Great looking tool - but took forever to provide any results. I will be back to recheck though as Google europe seem to provide sporadic technical application results in the morning in the UK.

Any plans to release some code for integration into other websites?

I want to improve this tool further to make it more reliable. I am still debating if I want to open up the code at the moment.

Why do I get the following results when entering our site envirosafetyproducts.com?
Missing title tags and description
no pages found

Missing just description
no pages found

Duplicate Title Tags
no pages found

Duplicate Descriptions
no pages found

I am trying to get this tool fixed soon. It worked well at launch, but has since slowed down due to surprisingly strong usage and programming that did not account for that.

Wow, I found out that robots.txt is not blocking my internal shopping cart skin pages so I am ending up with duplicate content issues. I have it set up correctly according to all I can find - so at least the tool told me I am doing something wrong and need to do some more research!

Thanks, long time fan of your book!

Hi guys,

is the tool only available for "premium" members? I am a regular member but cant find any download link..

Thanks

J.

Yes...this tool was turned into a premium tool after we had to reinvest into making a new version because Google blocked the old one.

Hello

I am a new member today and have just used the tool for three of my sites but it says:'We could not find any results for this url indexed at Google within this time frame.' for all of them.

What's this mean? Many thanks

I answered this question in the forums. I normally respond quicker there :D

Hi Aron

I tried the website health check on two sites and I'm getting "No Pages Found." Any idea why I'm getting that response. When I check to see if pages are index using, site: and the domain name, I can see that the pages are index.
