What kind of strategies you use to analysis your competitors; Beside link analysis what you want to know about your competitors ??? Share your experience and tell me what are you doing to keep your eyes on your competitors ??? Thank you ....
Well, beside the link analysis I would look for the competitors Content i.e. how the keywords are placed, competitive analysis, structure, meta tags creation, image optimisation, traffic reports !!
Just check links, that's it, and also take a look if they have basic stuff like keywords in meta tags. Lol'd at content, there is no special way how is written, just plane, basic onpage SEO works perfectly every time, nitpicking is just mental masturbation.
Links it the biggie. I'd also want to know their full ranking structure. i.e. what pages rank for what terms Also, how do they monetise the site - look for related affiliate programs etc Keep an eye on fresh content - set up google alerts
I use webmeup to track their estimated traffic it's not that accurate but I will help me in drawing a simple diagram. I am sure you can find several other tools to draw approximate traffic .
A neat little trick is to see what advertising platform they use. Things like adsense and other PPC platforms allow you to advertise only on their site, so you can nick their customers. On a side note, you can pay for interstitial ads (I think adfly do it but there's many others). People who (normally unknowingly) have the software installed (normally as part of a free download for something else) on their computers can be shown interstitial adverts or websites, prior to visiting the website they actually want to go to. So, you can choose to advertise using an interstitial advert and then any user who has the advertising platform installed, will be shown your website before your competitors website, if they were going to your competitors website and not yours.
forgot to say that by seeing what advertising method they use, and by bidding accordingly you will be told how many times your ad has been seen, so depending on your setting you can see the daily traffic that way...
As above said, i track content marketing strategy of my competitors. I also analyze competitors social media activities and posting frequency on social media channels.
Meta tags aren't where the ranking is coming from though. It may provide an academic overview of their keywords, but that's about it.
I like to look at how many keywords and what the density of those keywords is. I've found semrush.com to be a pretty good tool.
First their ranking for my keywords, their traffic (to see the sites where my competitors get traffic from). Don't forget their On-Page SEO (title, domain name, tags, image and link optimization, etc.)
Hi easycontent, The things to look at and analyze when monitoring your competition online are numerous. I would say that, beside backlinks of course, the most important things are: amount of traffic, affiliate network, SEO, SEM, display advertising, contextual advertising, demographics, Tweets, whois data, reverse lookup, and competitors’ website names. All the metrics I mentioned above are provided by a company I work with, which is called Follow. You can download Follow here: http://follow.net/?utm_source=internal. This is a competitive intelligence tool for tracking and analyzing websites. Below there are a few screenshots to let you understand what we are talking about: I picked Amazon.com for the sake of argument. As you can see, Follow provides its users with a lot of statistics to analyze. Follow can be installed as a toolbar on your browser, but you can get access to statistics on the a web-based platform, too. You can open an account for free with Follow, even though there is the choice to more advanced paid plans. Closely monitoring several sites takes a lot of work, but Follow can be set up in a way you’ll be notified when the sites you want to monitor do anything new online. As I said, there is a free version you can download and install immediately. Go to Follow.net: http://follow.net/?utm_source=internal, give it a try, and let me know what you think.
