Any products that can be used to "spy" on competitors? Similar to Compete.com..

Sweeney · 11-02-2010, 08:11 AM

Hey my fellow Warriors, just started a job and need to do some competitive research on our main competition.

I recently finished Traffic Secrets 2.0 (John Reese) which recommended using Compete.com. I see now they changed their pricing policy to a monthly only model, and an expensive one at that.

Can anyone else recommend a product I can use that's similar but cheaper or on a pay per report basis?

Thanks a lot,
Dan Sweeney

Update: So far it looks like Market Samurai is the best option. After the $50 discount surfaces, I plan to purchase it and I'll post back in this thread about my results.

P.S. Help a fellow Warrior at his new job!

Have you checked out Market Samurai? Best $150 I ever spent. You can use the competition module and see exactly what your competitor is doing. From there you just reverse engineer it.

Spyfu.com is a good tool.

Definitely will look into Market Samurai and Spyfu. Appreciate it guys.

I have Wordtracker for general keyword research.

Market Samurai is my preferred choice for analysing the competition too.

*Update:* Looks like if you just sign up for the free trial, you will get the discount.

Can we get a link to that?

Looks like Market Samurai is the way to go.

KeywordSpy can be a good choice too.
