WYSEOWYG U.S. strives to present a showcase for search engine friendly web sites from the United States. The result is a regional niche directory that accepts free link submissions from any U.S. web site that feels it qualifies for the wyseowyg.com criteria. A website offering web services can apply for inclusion into this regional niche directory and some of these include website design, website development, website search engine optimization SEO, copywriting, databases, e-commerce, web graphics, website maintenance and upgrades and graphic design. Only websites that demonstrate a commitment to quality and user friendliness to both human and search engine spiders can qualify after initial verification of website information and details submitted.

This directory explores four elements of search engine optimization that are 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
