Default How Do You Check the Competition?

Hi Warriors,

Hope you are well

So I am doing some keyword research as I want to launch a website soon.

Anyway this question in not about keyword research but rather how to check the strenght of the competition. Let's me explain: on google's first page you have ten websites right? So what I am trying to do is aim for the tops spots.

In order to do that I must check m competition. And know what should I check? I know that I should check page rankings and backlinks at least, so I know if I can outrank them or not. What else should I check?

Also I know there is a plugin for firefox that lets you see the pagerank and backlinks and some other stats as well instantly. Does anyone know the name of this plugin, and can direct me to it?

Thanks for the help guys

All the Best
James

Go to the site backlinkwatch.com. Just put in the site that you want to look at and you can see all the back links that they have for their site. Really a useful tool.

I know you can check backlinks and a very extensive search on which sites your competitor is linking to using yahoo's site explorer tool.

Don't forget to analyze the competing web pages and see how well they are optimized for your keyword.
