Here's a link for a free website grader (SEO Tool)
http://websitegrader.com
This was something a teacher at Ascend Training (Blogging for Business) clued us in on so we could see how our website ranked in terms of SEO/On page Factors/Content/etc.
Our website scored a 88/100 at the time, and after doing some on page optimization with our webmaster, revamping of our blog and making sure all tags were correct, our score is up to 98.2/100
Our site's pictures have all been crawled by Google because they have Alt tags. Meta Tags are VERY important too, as well as having a conversion form and RSS feed/blog.
Don't forget...creating a website doesn't mean it will get found. You have to make sure to submit it to all the Search Engines, relevant directories, and start building/exchanging links!
If you have Webmaster access, I recommend Google Analytics.
Google gives Domain age and Page Rank top priority, then relevancy and content then inbound/outbound links.
Firefox has a great plug in (free) for checking all the important SEO stuff.
The most important thing for ranking in search is deciding on your Keywords. There are tools out there
to help you, as well as the obvious. Sometimes finding a niche word in addition to the highly competitive
terms can work wonders.
