Quarkbase – Know your Website

Quarkbase is one of those tools that we web strategy consultants love to use and never want to tell our clients about. Why? It’s a great resource to get a quick snapshot of a website. Whenever I start a new web strategy project and begin the initial analysis phase to figure out the state of the current site, I check Quarkbase first. Right away it gives you a quick screenshot and summary snapshot about the website including important information regarding the site.

Scrolling down, Quarkbase gives you very useful nuggets of information for analyzing a website. The “Social Popularity” section will show you information like how many bookmarks the site has on Delicious, how many Diggs it has or how many reactions it has on Technorati. It then breaks down this material showing you your top linked pages in social networks like Delicious or Twitter.

The “Spotlight” section will then tell you where your domain name is being discussed – on Twitter, in Googl News, on GetSatisfaction, or in blogs on Technorati.

Other nice features are traffic rankings, lists of people on the website, related websites, and technical details. They even have a nice bookmarklet you can put in your browser and click when you are on a website to find out its information.

If you are interested in learning more about what Quarkbase can provide you, check out your website using their tool. And don’t forget to follow them on Twitter!
