This article lists tools and suggestions that I want to remember for promoting and measuring the "success" of blogs and blogsites ("real" web-sites made with blogging tools).

Measurement Tools and Techniques

Free. Gives you a mark out of 100, and a report with suggestions for improvements. You need to give them an email address, but the report is provided on-line.
