    To know general information about the competition, just use Google adword, It's free.
    For specific about competior on your keyword (number of their backlink...) I suggest using Market Samurai. It's paid soft (~97$ at least) but you can have 2 week trial, enough to analyze your keywords.

    Go to semrush then enter your domain. Then check the result in "Competitors in organic search" part. Your competitors will be shown there. To deep analyse them, enter that competitor domain as you did for your domain.

    Depends on what you want to know about competitor. If it's adwords strategy, you need to discover their winning keywords/ads and for that a tool like "keyword spy" will be useful. You can also use "seo spyglass".

    And if you want to understand competitors backlink profile, you need to use tools like Market Samurai in conjunction with OpenSiteExplorer etc.

    I use Traffic Travis. They have an SEO tool which lets you look at look at the top sites for the keyword your targeting. You can break down the results to the backlinks and anchor texts your competitor uses.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Competitor analysis is very important from business point of view. There are tools out there that help you to get some rough idea about your competitor-majestic seo, open site explorer, linkscape( you can search these on google)

    You can use many tools for that. But the most simple way is use of related command. syntax: related:URL

    When it comes to finding the right keywords, Wordtracker is definitely a name you can count on. They primarily provide paid keyword research tools but they have a free tool too, which, for a particular query, can generate up to 100 related keywords and an estimate of their daily search volume.

    Just search your keyword in search engine. First 5 sites are your biggest competitors.
