13 January 2006 Mechanical Comparisons of WebSites Yields Unusual Results.
Have you ever wondered how your website compares with others in your field? Or are you interested to see how your own website stands up directly in comparison with your close competitors? Scans done with the eValid Site Analysis engine often can give you some valuable insights on these kinds of questions.

You'll find some comparative analysis of some public sites on our own website [see above]. We invite you to look at the data and see if our analysis of the user experience interests you. We based our calculation of use of two metrics:

  »  Ease of Navigation, Qn, is a combination of the average download rate, average page depth, and percentage of non-broken pages.
  »  Quality of Maintenance, Qm, is a combination of the relative age of pages combined with the number of unavailable pages.

The resulting product, Qn * Qm, yields the Quality Score. This number lets us rank order the sites so that the highest scoring site is the one with the best ease of navigation combined with the best quality of maintenance..

Here is a description of one particular scan we did: FT 150 Site Comparison And, here for your information here is a catalog of other eValid Success Stories.
