Look through the key statistics analysis before diving in deeper into our report:
Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
---|---|---|
Meta title | CBS News - Breaking News, Live News stream 24x7 | 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 47 characters long. |
Description | CBS News: dedicated to providing the best in journalism under standards it pioneered at the dawn of radio and television and continue in the digital age | This meta description is 152 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 | CBS News, breaking news, national news, u.s. news, world news, news video, entertainment news, political news, sports news, business news, travel news, health news, technology news, financial news, cbsnews.com | 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 1.71 seconds | Website ranking and usability can be greatly improved by reducing the time it takes to load it. |
Alexa global rank | 876, 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 489 | The website is very well known according to QUANTCAST. |
Links on homepage | Around 260 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
Backlinks amount | Approximately 66054 | Such a great number of backlinks! |
HTML size | 105.3KB | 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 23.35.109.15. | Hosting is provided by a respected company. Server located in the city of New York, New York, United States. |
Main domain information | Registered on: 1994-10-04 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 | News and Media News and Media > Newspapers Arts and Entertainment > TV and Video News and Media > Magazines and E Zines |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
Alternative websites | abcnews.go.com nbcnews.com foxnews.com washingtonpost.com cnn.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as cbsnews.com, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
Possibly visited | abcnews.go.com nbcnews.com msnbc.com cnn.com aldaily.com |
The people that visit cbsnews.com also seem to have a marked interest in these websites. |
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 | 74.45M | 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 | +1.19% | The traffic has grown over the last month. |
Approximate time on site | 2:36 | Pretty good for an average time spent, wouldn't you say? |
cbsnews.com Visitor Bounce Rate | 65.28% | 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 313609 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:
