    I usually check a few things:

    Backlinks (Yahoo site checker, or Web CEO software)
    Search Engines positions (Web CEO software or manual search)
    Traffic Sources (Compete.com)
    Traffic levels (Alexa.com)
    Their general SEO (Web CEO software)
    Their domain age, pr/authority (dnscoop.com)
