Marketing Effectiveness Web Ranking
Using the online tool website.grader.com, I have analyzed how effective the WAFC.org site is at working with search engines so that more people can find it. This analysis also compared the effectiveness of buda.org and pada.org. WAFC.org rated 70, BUDA.org rated 79, and PADA.org rated 55. This means that WAFC.org is more effective than 70% of the thousands and thousands of other sites that have been reviewed on website.grader.com.
The full report can be read here: http://website.grader.com/wsgid/2620039/default.aspx. The report contains more details and tips on how to increase the WAFC.org web score. (According to the report, the first thing that we can do is add descriptive meta tags)

"Spirit of the Game: Ultimate relies upon a spirit of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the player. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules, or the basic joy of play. Protection of these vital elements serves to eliminate unsportsmanlike conduct from the Ultimate field. Such actions as taunting opposing players, dangerous aggression, belligerent intimidation, intentional infractions, or other 'win-at-all-costs' behavior are contrary to the Spirit of the Game and must be avoided by all players."
