How to Analyze your Site with Del.icio.us
Ann Smarty at Search Engine Journal has come up with a guide to analyzing your website using the social bookmarking tool del.icio.us. By following her suggestions, web authors will benefit in the following ways:
- get an idea what people liked most of all in your post (to brainstorm for future posts);
- analyze why one post was successful while another one was buried;
- see how people describe your post (i.e. how they ’see’ it) - that will enable you to look at your site “from outside“;
- explore your competitor’s social media success and learn a lot from that;
- perform advanced keyword research (how people tend to tag shows how they are most likely to search).
An interesting tool mentioned in this article is called similicio.us which is a quick search interface that locates similar web sites based on people’s tags/bookmarks on del.icio.us, using a home-brewed association engine.
