Best 5 Ways to Spy on Your all Competitor Websites

To Create a huge Keyword List, I always suggest to spy on your competition websites for keyword ideas. Learning from your competition is one of the best way to get keyword suggestions in your competition niche.


Here are a few best ways to get keyword ideas from your competition.

  1)- Inspect your competition Meta Tags

If your competition is still using meta keywords, it is a very easy way to get an idea of what keywords they’re targeting in your relevant niche.


Here is a tool to Inspect your competition Meta Tags.




Another way is you can always just look at the source code and find Meta Tags there.

2- BacklinkWatch.com

Just go to BacklinkWatch.com and type in the URL you want to check. It can take a while to load everything, but this tool will provide a list of pages that are linking to the site and the anchor text of some of the links. The anchor text is what you should be looking at for ideas. 

 3- Google AdWords Keyword Tool

Use the Google AdWords Keyword Tool to get suggestions for keywords based on the URL. Just choose the option “Website content,” type in your competitors URL, and see what suggestions it gives you. 

 4- Yahoo! Site Explorer and SEO Link Analysis

This is one of best techniques to see what keywords your competition is using in their anchor links from other sites. First, you’ll need to download and install the Firefox plugin SEO Link Analysis by Joost de Valk. Then, go to Yahoo! and type "site:www.YOUR WEBSITE.com" into the search bar.  


Once the site explorer comes up, click on the button that says “Inlinks.” Once the next page loads, change the first dropdown menu to say "Except from this domain".
