Google PageRank/Alexa Traffic Rank

The Alexa Traffic Rank gives a statement about the popularity of the tested website.

"The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach). As a first step, Alexa computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis.The main Alexa traffic rank is based on the geometric mean of these two quantities averaged over time (so that the rank of a site reflects both the number of users who visit that site as well as the number of pages on the site viewed by those users)."

There are either no data available regarding a traffic ranking for the tested web site, or the ranking needs definite improvement.

Popup

Pop-ups tend to annoy web users, as they appear suddenly and cannot be controlled. In addition, many users associate pop-ups with untrustworthy gambling and porn sites. User-friendly websites should therefore not include pop-ups, with the following exception: a print-preview of a page displayed as a pop-up.

The tested website is coded to display pop-ups.

Visited Links

Marking previously visited hyperlinks helps users to identify which pages of the website have previously been read. In other words, according to Nielsen the navigation interface should answer three essential questions: "Where am I?", "Where have I been?" and "Where can I go?"

The tested website does not support fully this type of marking.

Links on a website

By typing "link:www.anydomain.com" on Google, the links contained on the webpage indicated are displayed. Example: www.microsoft.com.
The popularity of the links can also be tested with
http://www.webmasterplus.org/popular/form.html or http://www.alexa.com.
This test uses the services of http://www.alexa.com.

The popularity of a website is determined, among other things, by the quantity and quality of the relevant links. The former can be easily assessed with the above described search.

Less than 10 links were found on the tested website.

Spaghetti Markup

Separating design and structure of the website carries great advantages. The sharper the distinction, the more independent the two areas are. A lack of such a distinction is also called a "spaghetti mark-up" or a "tag-soup" (from the term "HTML tag").

Nowadays it is easy to save colours, type fonts, design images and to a large extent even the layout of the website in CSS files (CSS = Cascading Style Sheet).

Hint for IT technicians: "Code" does not refer to javascript, but to HTML source.

The tested website contains spaghetti mark-up; morevover, it is not or not fully defined in CSS Format.

Adjacent Links

Accessibility guideline 10.5 for web content 1.0 W3C, dated 5th May 1999 states: "Until user agents (including assistive technologies) render adjacent links distinctly, include non-link, printable characters (surrounded by spaces) between adjacent links." http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT.

This means that subsequent links should be separated by a printable, non hyper-linked and free-standing character. The prolem is easily solved by using a navigation list for the links <ul>. Additional characters can be added with CSS.

Many subsequent links insufficiently kept apart have been found on the tested web site.
