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.

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...

What Is The Average Salary For An Affiliate Marketer?

Honestly there really isn't an "average" salary for affiliate marketers because there's so many different skill levels when it comes to online marketing. Most people that call themselves affiliate marketers have probably made less than $100... While on the high end others make six or even seven figures every year. However, the magic number that I've found most people are aiming to hit when they first dive into the world on affiliate marketing is about $100-$200/day. Sure, everybody likes the idea of driving Lambos and Ferraris and partying on  private jets  and expensive yachts... But the reason why, for most people, $100-$200/day is all they need is that it's all that's standing in between them and having to be at their dreaded 9 to 5 job for 40+ hours every week. The great news is that $100-$200/day is really not that hard to achieve, even if you're just getting started and know nothing about making money on the Internet. Now, there a...

Is It Still Possible To Make Money From Craigslist With Affiliate Marketing?

So, you want to make money with  Craigslist  as an affiliate marketer, huh? Well, that makes sense... After all, Craigslist is one of the top 20 sites on the planet, according to  Alexa . But, even though it doesn't look like the site design has been updated since 1995, unfortunately, it's unusually challenging to game their platform. But it can be done. There's always a way. So, just to give you a quick recap of the evolution of Craigslist affiliate marketing over the years... In the beginning it was pretty easy...and then Craiglist closed all those loopholes Then it got harder, and so the marketers that stuck around started using virtual assistant services like  TaskBullet  to manually post ads in different cities in order to scale, and to try and avoid ads getting ghosted And then that got less effective Which brings us to where we are now. Now, two kinds of resources that I recommend checking out if you're serious about marketing ...
