Incoming links
3,550pages link to this website
294pages link to this website
- About 3,844 other pages were found linking to this website (3,550 links from Google, out of 3,844). The website is reasonably well linked to, although there is room for improvement.
URL format
- A significant proportion (20.0%) of web addresses (URLs) are less than ideal.
- One URL is particularly hard to type or remember.
Recommendations
- URLs using unusual characters (such as semi-colons or underscores), long numerals or complex phrasing are very difficult for real people to use or exchange. They also tend to be less favoured by search engines.
- Wherever possible ensure web addresses are 'human readable' - i.e. they should be easy to read, remember and type. In particular, avoid the use of obscure characters (including the underscore, which is not widely understood by non-technical users, or particularly memorable) and long numerals, e.g. example.com/23857984325.
- Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.

See more on this website's WOT Scorecard
- Users of the Web of Trust submit reviews about websites they visit. These reviews are then used to warn other users of malicous, untrustworthy and adult websites.
- This website is rated excellent for Trustworthiness.
- This website is rated excellent for Vendor Reliability.
- This website is rated excellent for Privacy.
- This website is rated excellent for Child Safety.
- The information WOT holds on this website is likely to be reliable, as many people have submitted testimonies on this website.
Links
- Some (2.4%) of links in this site could be defined better.
- 8.0 links use duplicate text to point to different pages.
- 3 links are missing link descriptive text.
Recommendations
- Links should not repeat the same text to link to different pages. Usually this is a problem where a link is non-descriptive (e.g. 'More').
- Links should describe what they link to for the benefit of both screenreader software and search engine spiders. It is possible that you have applied a link to an image and are relying on the user having a visual browser.
- Note that it is possible to change the text a link points to without changing the appearance of the link. For example, 'Read more' could be a valid link, if you add a description into the 'title' attribute to the tag.
