Free Tools To Reverse-Engineer Your Competition's Online Strategy


You've heard the phrase Work Smarter, Not Harder, right?
Well, that same logic applies to online marketing.
If you're really serious about making internet marketing being your full-time gig instead of just a part-time hobby, you don't want to waste your time.
So, in order to give yourself a massive edge over the competition, the smart thing to do when getting started is simply to spy on them and copy what they're doing.
And, luckily, there's some great free tools to help you do that.

Alexa
The first tool is Alexa. Alexa has several different features, but most marketers refer to it for their data on organizing the most popular sites on the the web. They assign websites a rank based, which is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors to the site and pageviews on the site over the past 3 months. The site with the highest combination of visitors and pageviews is ranked #1.
SimilarWeb
The other tool we can use to some data and insights on our competitors is SimilarWeb. What's great about SimilarWeb is it gives us an estimate on the total visits a site gets each month, along with...
  • Top Traffic By Countries
  • Traffic Sources
  • Organic Keywords People Search To Find The Website
  • And Ad Networks Linking To The Website
This data can help give us a really clear picture of how certain websites or competitors are generating the traffic and results we're looking to achieve.
For some additional tools to help you spy on your competitors check out this this list.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means  optimizing your content  to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to  keyword stuff  and trying to maintain a certain  keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or  links from other high authority or relevant sites  pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is  Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click)  is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically,  direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily  Bing Ads  is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers.

Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...

How To Flip Domain Names For Fun And Profit

Years ago I came across a blog article about a guy that was in his mid 20s, who regularly made multiple five figures per month online... Simply flipping domains. Now, we're not talking about the kind of domain flipping where you invest in expensive branded domains and then resell those to a higher bidder. All he was doing was picking up  brand new domain names  for just the cost of registration...and flipping those to local businesses, over and over. Now, I had heard of things like this during the dot com boom, in the early days of the Internet, so I thought the idea of flipping domains was a lost art and there was no more opportunity in that. But, this was about 2011 or so, so it was way past the dot com bubble. Now, I mention that story to reinforce that you still didn't miss the domain flipping gold rush. Flipping domains for easy profits is something anyone can still do, and it's even easier to do these days. Now, what the guy I mentioned above was d...
