Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
| Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Meta title | Latest messages on PostgraduateForum.com | 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 40 characters long. |
| Description | PostgraduateForum.com aims to bring together students, post-docs and lecturers to discuss any issues relating to postgraduate study | This meta description is 131 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. |
| <meta> keywords | PhD,PhDs,Masters,MBA,courses,studentships,help,support,Msc,post docs,professional doctorates, mba admissions, mba application, mba career change, mba careers, mba courses, mba degree, mba degrees, mba distance learning, mba essays, mba internships, mba jobs, mba online, mba program, mba programme, mba programs, mba project, mba ranking, mba rankings, mba resume, mba salaries, mba salary, mba school, online mba, online mba course, school of business, sport mba program, top business schools, top mba schools, best business schools, best mba programs, business school, business schools, distance learning mba, executive mba, gmat, gmat course, gmat exam, gmat prep, gmat preparation, gmat questions, gmat scores, gmat test strategies | Strangely enough, meta keywords still seem to be used. We would not go down that road unless very carefully - meta keywords have not been known as a positive ranking factor for a while now. |
| Site speed | Around 1.813 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
| Alexa global rank | 188894, as last checked | Based on Alexa Global, we can assume the website is not very popular. Mind you, Alexa's worth is questionable at best. |
| Quantcast | Current rank, according to our database, is at 103352 | The website seems to enjoy good popularity, according to Quantcast. |
| Links on homepage | Around 207 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
| Backlinks amount | Approximately 63 | The number of backlinks seems awfully low. If possible, the webmaster should work towards building more through quality content and public awareness. |
| HTML size | 75.5KB | 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 104.25.223.5. | Hosting is provided by a respected company. Server located in the city of San Francisco, California, United States. |
| Main domain information | Registered on: 2005-05-13 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 CSL COMPUTER SERVICE LANGENBACH GMBH D/B/A JOKER.COM |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Alternative websites | thesiswhisperer.com findaphd.com postgrad.com nextscientist.com postgraduatestudentships.co.uk |
These websites fall into the same categories as postgraduateforum.com, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
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 time on site | 1:38 | Pretty good for an average time spent, wouldn't you say? |
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 2583342 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:
