A great starting tool that gives an overall percentage grade out of 100%.

SEO Moz - a great place for targeted tools that measure individual items like: site crawlability, rank tracker, SEO tools and more Lynx Viewer - See what search engines see. If your website has it's main navigation or content embedded in an image, is flash based or other items that may prohibit search engines from crawling it, that may mean that search engines can't rank your site, or may produce crawl errors. You will need to upload the provided delorie.htm or delorie.gif to your server in order to verify you are checking your own site.
