One more thing I would like to add is to check the site for Duplicate Content. When I first started doing SEO I wondered why sites i worked on never really moved. It was only after some effort that I found some of my clients, especially those built by large scale web design companies all had a ton of duplicate content.

After all the web design company is paid to design the website right? They could care less about the content on the page. And thus in an effort to save time use the same content across all sites they build.

This is a major handicap so beware!

Yes one most important you thing you can check is past work on this site. Which impacts much while deciding work for current project. Well rest few minor aspect of domain can be check later on.

Alternate URL's are similar to booking a .net, .info domains when the main website is running in .com, not every webmaster redirect it properly. Most of the cases, the additional domains will be pointing to the existing website resulting in duplicate URLs.

I don't understand the comment about alternate URL's

"If all these points to the main website then it would result in website duplication. Make sure you identify all the alternate versions and redirect them to the main website."

Do you want them pointing at the main website or not?

I think backlink text should be added. Think is a very important ranking factor

@Oliver
I’m not sure what made you to ask but I’m sure you would get more such post

@Mercylivi
Content duplication is valid but internal link structure etc I would suggest during the usability, navigation review

My intent is that this list can be used by people who are inexperienced in SEO but want to.

Good one! I would suggest adding few more points to the checklist. My option would be checking for content duplication and internal link structure throughout the website. Wats ur opinion on this?
