Anybody ever use "compete"?

cashcorpinc · 09-24-2008, 02:08 AM

Has anyone here ever heard of compete(dot)com?

Is it accurate at all? Does it include subdirectory traffic, or just the main domain name?

The reason i ask is because I just got an e-mail that recommended to use it, and I plugged in some of my sites against some of the so-called traffic gurus' sites, and I'm getting about 3X the traffic they are...

... can this be true?

What does it say about your site(s)? Is it accurate at all?

I'd say it's more accurate than Alexa.
Alexa relies only on it's toolbar that nobody is using, while Compete takes many factors into account.

I think it's very very useful if you're using it for SEO. You can find the so called 20% of traffic sources that bring in 80% of the traffic and then just home in on those to get some of the benefits or the same benefits.

For PPC, perhaps a dry run using Spyfu, then upgrading to Compete.com will make sense, though I'm not sure if Compete actually tracks PPC traffic?

The free tools are good for research however the paid content is a little disappointing.

Ok, so, if what I am hearing is true, and compete(dot)com actually works and is accurate, than i am a traffic-getting machine!
