Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Meta title | Ask.com - Quelle est votre question? | As meta title is a ranking factor, it's quite important to stick to search engine recommended length of aroun 50-60 characters. This website's meta title is 36 characters long. |
| Description | Offers search for web sites, images, news, blogs, video, maps and directions, local search and shopping. | This meta description is 104 characters in length. Google suggests up to 320 characters at the very most to make sure the whole meta description is visible in search results page. |
| Site speed | Around 3.121 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
| Alexa global rank | 117, as last checked | Based on information provided by Alexa, we can assume the website is well known. |
| Quantcast | Current rank, according to our database, is at 52 | The website is very well known according to QUANTCAST. |
| Links on homepage | Around 3 links | This looks... a little suspicious, to be honest. |
| Backlinks amount | Approximately 22568 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
| HTML size | 31.6KB | Ah. Well. We were hoping for better results... We would urge the website owners to improve load speed as soon as possible. |
| Website host server overview | Server status: online. Server IP address for this website is 172.227.15.95. | Hosting is provided by a respected company. Server located in the city of Oakland, California, United States. |
| Main domain information | Registered on: 1998-10-20 00:00:00 | We apologize, but for some reason we were unable to gather enough data to provide a detailed insight at this time. The website domain address is currently registered at MARKMONITOR INC. |
If the basic information we presented you with above is not enough, get ready to dive in much deeper!
Now that the numbers are taken care of, we can go deeper and try to analyse the website from a user's perspective. More specifically, let's see if we can identify the target audience as well as a few related websites and categories.
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Related categories | Computer and Electronics > Software News and Media Internet and Telecom > Search Engine Arts and Entertainment > TV and Video |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
| Alternative websites | myway.com easypdfcombine.com fromdoctopdf.com doubleclick.net videodownloadconverter.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as ask.com, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
| Possibly visited | download.fromdoctopdf.com free.videodownloadconverter.com easypdfcombine.com free.easypdfcombine.com free.fromdoctopdf.com |
The people that visit ask.com also seem to have a marked interest in these websites. |
Website safety – both in terms of malicious actions as well as of the content itself – is a key factor that should not be underestimated. With not only viruses, but also harmful and hateful articles and opinions aplenty, it's important to protect our computers and friends and family from any harm.
Trying to acquire very accurate visitor data is immensely difficult and can only be done when given direct access to the server. However, there are ways to get approximate numbers.
The numbers themselves probably say enough, but we'll add some insight where possible.
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Approximate traffic per month | 255.53M | The website is clearly extremely popular. |
| Delta of monthly traffic | -0.09% | Visitor amount has decreased somewhat over the past month when compared to the month before that. |
| Approximate time on site | 2:08 | Pretty good for an average time spent, wouldn't you say? |
| ask.com Visitor Bounce Rate | 54.42% | This is the final search stop for a lot of visitors. |
ALEXA rating is based on the number of visitors a given page receives. The higher the visitor count, the higher the rating. Currently, ALEXA has over 4 million websites indexed. If you sense cynicism in our words, you're not mistaken - we think Alexa rating is overrated, to put it mildly. A website's worth (and contextual popularity) is more than the sum of the views. So take the rank with a grain of salt.
QUANTCAST is a data processing company that mostly gathers information for advertising companies. It specializes in real-time audience analysis and, as you may have gathered, is really quite similar to Alexa, if perhaps not as infamous. To our knowledge, the company has rated and ranked approximately 28180 websites so far. There is always a caveat with these sort of ranking systems - they don't really take any context into account. As such, their usefulness is debatable at best. Don't overthink this rank - it's just a number, really.
Servers are physical storage devices that contain all the files and databases associated with a specific website, sometimes more than one. At times, a server makes up several virtual devices - separate servers used for shared hosting (tends to be cheaper). Entering website address into the address bar of your browser starts the request process during which your browser contacts the server and asks for specific files and database entries in order to display the requested website.
What follows is certainly very geeky, but informative for the knowing. Dig in:
