The wonderful thing about the Internet is its openness, although in some circumstances
this could also be considered its downfall. You can find virtually anything
out about a company or individual that you intend to work with or for, or one
whose services or products you intend to purchase. When conducting Search Engine Optimization, or
any online marketing for that matter, competitor analysis can really help you
get the best results.
Learn More About Linking Strategies
The quickest and most obvious way to learn how a website has reached the top
position for a particular keyword is to look. Use the search engines, or competitor
analysis software, to view the links that your main competitors have gained.
See if you can get links from the same websites as well as the links you have
of your own.
Consider Their Content
Take a look at their content. Consider how many pages they have, how they
link between those pages, and note anything else that you believe might be
helping them rank at the top. Take a look at a few sites using several keywords
and then apply the most popular and successful techniques to your own pages.
Using The Information
At the very least you should learn how your competitors are building their
link profile, what keywords they are targeting, what they are doing well, and
what they are not doing quite so well (every website and marketing plan can
be improved upon in some small way). Using this information it’s possible to
greatly improve your own efforts.
