My competitor sells the same thing as our company but is getting lots more clicks/revenue. What do I need to look at on this site to figure out how they are getting all of the business?

Competitor's key search terms?

Thanks for your quick response. I've actually been tracking this company for the past few years...checking their prices/shipping, etc which all seems very comparable to ours (in the clothing business). Can I find on here what their top key words are that's driving their traffic? We also appear to come up on the 1st or 2nd page for most of our key words, but when I've looked at compete I noticed that they are receiving several more thousand clicks a month. We run adwords frequently (it seems to be even more than they do from our observations), so I don't believe their extra clicks are coming from there. Any help would be appreciated. We are a small business, just as our competitors are, so any help in advice for obtaining more clicks is appreciated!!

I like to answer questions here and respond to lots of them.
However, in this situation, I think that you are in a lot better position to come up with answers than anyone else. Plus, if you are really excited about this business you should be thinking about it all of the time, know your products incredibly well, have a constant eye on your competitors and be researching these answers yourself.
I am not trying to be a wise guy... just challenging you to come back with some ideas that you think might be possible answers. We don't even know what industry you are in so guessing is not a very good use of our time.
Now... just to let you know that you need to expand your thinking... the answer to your question might not be on this person's website. It might be were her ads are running and how much she is spending.
Plus, even if this competitor has the same amount of traffic that you do she might sell an awful lot more because of an excellent on-site presentation that converts more visitors into buyers, has more effective advertising, better prices, free shipping or some other value proposition that is missing from your business.

Should I get a link from a low quality directory?
While doing some backlink research of similar ranking sites I noticed that a few of them had links from a directory called Infignos, it has a moz DA of 37 and a low spam score of 3, so it doesn't look like complete junk. But the posts on it look terrible, like people are just putting keywords with a small description to get rankings. Should I bother posting something similar to be competitive or just move on? Any advice or feedback on this is much appreciated, I know some of these things are not quality sites but I was wondering the best way to filter that out. Thanks in advance.

What To Focus On SEO / Link Building for this campaign to rank again..
Hi All; I recently joined Moz and I am really starting to learn a lot here. I am still finding it difficult to figure out what to focus on the most to improve my rankings (although I do have some page 1 ranks) I have one strong competitor who has a SOLID spot in the top 5 of google for the past few years for the keyword I would like to be ranked for again. (as they have always been a competitor of mine either 1 spot above or 1 spot below). then i fell off google in January and finally made it back to page 1. But their links are thousands higher than mine. What parts of my SEO Link Building should I focus on the MOST to improve my ranking to move up a few spots? Followed links vs No Followed Links Followed Linking Root Domains vs NoFollowed Linking Root Domain Any help would so greatly be appreciated; also please explain why you would focus on that part of my campaign so I can better understand as well. Thanks again

Looking for traffic estimator for specific pages or subdomains on a site I do not control
I'm looking for a free traffic estimator that allows me to look at monthly visits for specific pages or subdomains on a site I do not control. So far I've found trafficestimate.com, but that only lets me look at domains. I'd like to see estimates for subdomains or specific pages. Does this even exist?

What tools can give reliable competitor traffic data?
Could you give details of reliable tools that can measure and provide competitors' traffic data? Google Adplanner used to provide such information until June of last year, and while it's numbers didn't match Google Analytics data, the numbers were reasonably close. The metrics we are most interested in are visits, page views and unique visitors. We have looked at sites such as Compete -- but feel it is far too inaccurate/ skewed with US data only; also, would prefer to not rely on Alexa traffic stats. Thanks in advance.

How can I get meaningful competitive analysis when I blog on Wordpress?
The competitive analysis data I get on my blog heartspm.wordpress.com is Wordpress domain data. That doesn't help me much. I know Wordpress has a lot of domain authority. Can I get comparitive information based solely on heartspm.wordpress.com?
