I did try WSG a while back and found that it aggregated a useful slice of data about my sites. I can't figure out why it said a PhD reading level was required when there were only about 8 words on the page though! What I didn't get from this post that it was a about a new release, or what features in new release are newsworthy (i.e. different enough from the current state of art to warrant wide attention...) any elaboration on that would be useful, otherwise it just reads like an advert for WSG. thanks for the clarification darmesh… there are lots of SEO tools out there.

First off, my apologies for all the folks that have had issues getting to the site recently. We tested extensively (and have had previous spikes in traffic before). But candidly, we've never seen anything like the traffic that this TechCrunch article has generated. We're both enthralled, and humbled by the level of enthusiasm for the tool. If you had trouble getting to the site today, we hope you'll try again. We're working (literally) around the clock to serve as many users as possible. The software does a lot of "heavy lifting" trying to come up with the results that it does. I personally think your patience will be rewarded (the results are worth it), but I have a biased opinion. Secondly, for those questioning why this made it to TechCrunch as "news": WebsiteGrader has been available for a while (it's graded 200,000+ websites). However, what's newsworthy is that this is a brand new "2.0" release of the software. More work has gone into this version than the original version. We hope that many of you will appreciate the new features in this current release, and our thanks to Erick for giving us some air-time and exposing this free tool to so many people. Thirdly, WebsiteGrader is (and has always been) a free tool. Though the company behind it is passionate about Internet marketing for small business, we really do want Website Grader to be as useful to as many people as possible. Though an email address is appreciated, it is not required. Well over 99% of the users of the free WebsiteGrader tool will likely never buy anything from HubSpot (the company that created it). We think that's totally cool, and ok. That's what makes the Internet a wonderful place. Fourthly, (if that's even a word), we're aware that WebsiteGrader will make a lot of "professional" SEO people uncomfortable. We're not claiming that the tool can replace the average SEO consultant (although I think it's true in some cases, we're still not claiming it). Our goal for the tool is to try and take a lot of the repeat, monotonous work in the SEO industry and automate it. If you're a *great* SEO consultant, you have nothing to worry about (neither Website Grader nor any tool will ever be able to displace you). If not, then, well, um, our best wishes that you actually become a great SEO consultant. Website Grader has been created with one driving principle: To help increase transparency in the internet marketing industry. We think this is, fundamentally, a noble cause.
