What are some tricks to see how my competitor got so big?
 

My competitor is fucking HUGE. I have no idea where he's getting so many members.
What are some things I can do or buy to see his history?
I went to archive.org but he has some script that redirects to his site and doesnt show how his site looked before

I want to advertise where he is advertising

A couple tips I would do would be to check his backlinks. See how many, and how many quality ones( alot of his traffic may be organic) Also see if any may look like paid links then find similar sites offering the same services.

Also run a search for his name in google see if you can find any site advertising him. Good luck!

baddog offered a service a while back, not sure how effective it is or if he still does; wherein you can get all sorts of deep metrics on what type of traffic, how much and where on any site.

I think... it's been a while.

Thanks mutt

Thats one of the things I was thinking of, thanks guys
it shows history too, or just where the site is now?

i don't know much about it - i keep meaning to hit him up and get more details about it.

theres no information on the site. is it pricey? I only want to look up 1 site and can anyone vouch on how good the results are?

for those that want to see a demo, hit me up on icq tomorrow..... been busy doing demos and signing up new clients.

T3Report is mainly used to find new affiliates by looking at competitors. v5 latest features include helping affiliate managers help affiliates send them more traffic by looking at web pages of affiliates that don't link to the program and that has incoming/linking traffic.

Quick Lookup is a feature that you can put in any domain, and it shows you right from the data what websites are currently and used to link to that domain. Clients use this to checkout places where they want to buy banners or hard links, SEO snooping, or curiosity.

That was great

any other tricks while Im waiting.
I want to find out what he did like from 2004 to 2006 to explode like he did.

I never understand when you see someones stats and theyres a huge spike in their growth, exactly what happened

traffic dont mean members dont get caught up in the alexa ego crap, you cant buy groceries with alexa rankings

and post who you are talking about so people can help

What he did 5 years ago doesn't really matter, even if you find out what he did, it's very unlikely you will be able to duplicate it now...
