Info on Online Competition
I see a lot of plans for online businesses with great ideas, but poor competitive analysis. Here are sources to check your online website competition:
Competitor’s Website Statistics
Compete Put in three websites and get unique visitors per month, average daily pageviews, daily velocity. Click one website and look on the right for its 5 top keywords. Pay for details.
Alexa Put in three websites and, if there’s enough traffic, get reach, ranking and page views. Some data is free and you pay for more.
Xinureturns Get all kinds of interesting details on a site, like search engine rankings, indexed pages, bookmarked pages, top keywords, backlinks.
Online Website Competition Keywords
Adgooro Keyword suggestions and keyword tracking
Keywordspy Keyword research and tracking.
Spyfu “Spy on your online competitors. Download their keywords and Adwords”
WordTracker Check free articles in their Academy link. And they have the best seven tutorials on using keywords that I have ever seen. Here is Keywords day one.

Hey Peg – This is great stuff — though I’ve had some issues with Compete before (good ones, though), as sometimes the keywords it shows for my business (uSphere) are things like “The Hitcher Soundtrack” or “Edwin McCain.” Seriously.
But all marketers should take this stuff to heart!
Thanks, Dave. Any other sites I missed?
Hi Peg,
Looks like you know this area well.
May I ask you to give an unbiased review of PPC Bully.
You’ll find out that it beats all the tools above by far.
Thanks, Yefi
I’m a huge fan of KeywordSpy and this tool definitely beats the others. I’ve tried 4 other but KS just does the job for me. It provides me with effective keywords which I just copy-paste to Adwords. Try it and you’ll know what I mean. I know they also offer free trials. :)
I also heard about Affiliate Elite but I haven’t tested it.
I use Keyword Elite to get those precious informations and that’s enough for my business.
Arthur.

Nice list. I’m familiar with all of them, except Adgooroo. Just checked them out, and they look pretty solid/unique. Thank you.
