i have learned to make good money online, you have to know your competitors. This is especially if you are starting late in the game in an established market area. I have found tools on line that will help in this process. I provided a link to it below.

I have started late in the game on marketing on the Internet. My competition is huge and apparently, they are getting all of the business. Why?

I have found and started using a tool to spy on the competitor and find out how he/she is doing it. With the google and the other search engines bots, there is apparently a load of data on each website out there. Now there is software that can reach out and grab that data for you to use.

Some data that is available is the following:

• Organic Keywords,
• Paid Keywords,
• Long tail Keywords
  
• Clicks per day,
• Cost per click,
• Cost per day,
• Ranking of keywords
• Estimated Budget a day,
• Top Compeditors
• Trend Analysis
  

Included in the backage is a keyword tool. It is advertized to be much better than Google's Adwords keyword tool. It provide very strong and effective keywords.

As you can see, using this tool, you can find very important information about your competitors. In the past you had to, by trail and error find what works. With this tool, you can basically look at your competitors information and find what is working. This is a big time saver. So it would be very nice to find the competitors that are ranking on the first pages of google, and check out how they are getting the rankings, and do similar.

One has to confess, there is much more on ranking than this tool can give you, but this fills on one area of work for you.

Possibly the better part, you can see what keywords the competition is not using, and with the keywords tool provided, and with Google Adwords keywords tool, you can discover keywords that are popular but not used. So you can start ranking high on these keywords and get traffic right from the beginning.
