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.

How To Get A Free SSL Certificate With Cloudflare

I'm definitely no expert when it comes to techy things like  SSL certificates . But, I do understand that by having an SSL certificate installed on your website, it does protect the data of your visitors a little more than if you had an unsecured site (non-HTTPS). That's why you see most brands and companies have HTTPS in front of their domain name instead of HTTP. Having an SSL certificate is pretty much essential if you're selling anything on a website, and even non-techy people can be scared away if you're asking for payment on your site and you don't have an HTTPS URL. Now, when SSL certificates started to become more mainstream I avoided them for a long time. Honestly it was because I didn't truly understand them... And also they weren't cheap. But then services like  Cloudflare  popped up, and since they offer the option of a FREE SSL certificate, it's kind of silly not to take advantage of it. The other benefit of making your sit...

Solo Ads For Weight Loss Niche

One of the most popular niches for solo ads is the biz opp and make money online space. But that's not the only big niche out there. The top 3 super niches are: health, wealth, and relationships So, there's definitely a LOT of money to be made outside of the make money online industry. And solo ads for these other niches work the same way as they do with buying clicks for a biz opp offer. The issue is where do you find a quality solo ad vendor for some of these other niches? Well, the one that I like to use is called  Trafficforme . The reason I like Trafficforme is They have a very newbie-friendly, simple to use dashboard, which makes placing your order very easy They allow you to scale and buy lots of clicks (very important if you've got a profitable campaign) And they offer solo ad clicks for a variety of different niches, which means you don't have to dig around and try to find another reputable vendor if you decide to run traffic to an offer in ...

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. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...
