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 1.844 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
Alexa global rank | 50285, as last checked | According to Alexa and the Global rank, the site is quite well known. |

Website host server overview | Server status: online. Server IP address for this website is 137.117.88.165. | We apologize, but for some reason we were unable to gather enough data to provide a detailed insight at this time. |
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 | Gambling > Lottery News and Media Business and Industry Travel > Accommodation and Hotels |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
Alternative websites | mdlottery.com nc-educationlottery.org njlottery.com galottery.com wilottery.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as valottery.com, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
Possibly visited | dclottery.com mdlottery.com delottery.com nc-educationlottery.org nclottery.com |
The people that visit valottery.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 | 6.58M | Without taking the target audience context into account, we'd say the website's not that popular. We do urge you to make your own conclusions, though. |
Delta of monthly traffic | +2.22% | The traffic has grown over the last month. |
Approximate time on site | 4:03 | Wow, that's a great average result! The website must have some incredible content to keep visitors occupied. |
valottery.com Visitor Bounce Rate | 36.97% | A alrge portion of visitors find what they are looking for on this website. |
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 3579419 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:
