A Simple Internet Way to Spy on Your Competitor

Hi Folks,

I admit sometimes I'm so embarrassed to finally realize what I thought everyone else already knew. It's like teaching a Ph.D. physicist how to count!!

But and big But,

As I've discovered I'm often only fooling myself. Here's a couple of sure tips that are FREE and can immediately help you leapfrog and gain marketing knowledge amassed by your competitors over years, yet you have it in minutes.

Let's Begin:

When you do a Google search, do so for your own domain name.

Example would be name of your web site is: websitewonderful.com

Google will then bring up your site and if you look at bottom of the listing you will find what Google calls: "similar pages".

Click on the "similar pages" tab and see what Google decided your site is about and what other sites have "similar" content. When you go to those similar sites you should notice couple of things.

One is has Google really determined what your site is about? If not then the problem is probably due to poor meta tags on keywords and descriptions. We'll discuss that later.

Go to one of the sites that is similar to your site and do this:

1. Put your cursor on the "view" tab of that site and go down the menu until you find:

2. "Page Source" Click on that and the source of that web site, generally including the meta "keyword" and "description" tags will be seen.

3. Copy and paste into your worksheet the keywords and description.

4. Look at what is between the quotes for "description" and "keywords".

Now go back and google the keywords of your competitor into a google search and see if their site comes up on first page. If so you may have just found some keywords you should be using on your site.

It may have taken your competitor years to get to the point to get their site on first page using a vast array of different keywords and descriptive terms but you found them in a couple of instantaneous clicks.

It's really key to look at the best of your competitors sites, remembering there is basically nothing new under the sun, so copy and duplicate success. It's an honor to be followed by others hoping to be as successful as you so go forth and do well!!
