As everyone who reads this blog knows, I’m a giant fan of HubSpot’s free tools like websitegrader.com, pressreleasegrader.com and bloggrader.com .
Guess what?
Just in case you’ve not been monitoring their free tools in the past couple months, they’ve also powered up Twittergrader.com.
Should you try it out? Of course. Should you use it as another way to give you guidance on how you’re reach is on the Web and how to improve it? Absolutely.
My grade is 99 out of 100. And my ranking is 34,000 among 5 million plus Twitter accounts. Remember marathon, not sprint with all things social media. No matter what your grade is at the onset, you can always improve it.
Does ranking size really matter? Hmm. Good question. No grading system should be the only thing you rely on to determine how your efforts are progressing, however it’s good to have some base measurements and definitely when these tools are free you should take advantage of them.
To spur you on in your own quest to rule the Web, at the very least put a couple of your competitive Twitter folks in the grader too and see what comes up.
I’m also positive that HubSpot will continue adding more features to Twittergrader so once every six months you should replug in your TwitterID and see what comes back gradewise.
Each time you do, I have no doubt you’ll find more actionable data you can use to help your social platform expand.
For more information on how the grader works, I also encourage you to check out HubSpot’s reference for it here.
Now go and grade!
