Regional Niche Directory | Website SEO Design Development Canada

WYSEOWYG Canada is a free regional niche directory listing any website link from Canada that has demonstrated a commitment to excellence in web site design, web site development, web site SEO (search engine optimization), web marketing and Internet promotion (SEM), content copywriting, web graphics, databases, flash animation, interactive multimedia, graphic design, web site maintenance and redesign. This directory only features a website link listing if it is from Canada and has met certain criteria for inclusion. This means that a website that follows directory submission guidelines and then becomes eligible for our evaluation must achieve a passing score of 70% for link inclusion into the free WYSEOWYG Canada regional niche directory.

WYSEOWYG Canada explores four elements of search engine optimization that are then evaluated to arrive at a final score which indicates the level of SEO proficiency for the site tested which in turn determines how search engine friendly a web site actually is.

The four SEO areas analyzed are:

1. Internal link integrity which checks for broken links within the web site. A broken link will affect website navigation and access to other web pages which can result in visitors leaving the website resulting in lost sales.

2. Link Popularity evaluates the website to determine if search engines find sufficient numbers of relevant backlinks. A newer website or those that have not been effectively promoted will usually not do well.

3. Keyword density to gauge the keyword to overall content ratio. The goal is to achieve as high a keyword density as possible while maintaining content readability.

4. Meta tags and their relevance to the content of the web page. This includes the title, description and keywords.

Final scores result in a either a bronze, silver or gold award indicating how SEO friendly a website has been optimized to be with the three major search engines Google, Yahoo and Bing. The overall website optimization score breakdown is displayed on the following table.

70 - 74 = C 75 - 79 = C+ Bronze

80 - 84 = B 85 - 89 = B+ Silver

90 - 100 = A Gold

Testing is conducted with the kind permission of sitesubmit.ca where the final SEO scores are tabulated. Web site score results can be updated anytime by sending a notification to the wyseowyg.ca administrator. Free SEO resources are available to registered members, including a forum for posting web site links and questions or comments related to the search engine optimization SEO industry. WYSEOWYG Canada is for Canadian websites only which means outsourcing and offshore search engine optimization (SEO) design and development websites will be rejected.
