Competitive Research Using SEO Recon

Posted on February 19, 2009 by Roy Reyer

I learned one of my most important Internet Marketing tip from an outlaw biker who controlled the narcotics distribution network in western Arizona in 1985, while I was an undercover police officer.

After my introduction as a prospect for his organization, the very first thing he said to me was “Roy, learn everything you can about your competition and take them out.”

His remark to me shook me to my core, as I knew he would follow his own advice if he found out that I was a cop, intent on breaking up his criminal enterprise and arresting him.

After my retirement from law enforcement I began my new career in Internet Marketing. I often thought back to that biker’s remark and how it influenced my campaigns.

No, I didn’t take his advice in the literal sense on wanting to inflict physical harm to my online competitors, however I realized to become successful I had to know as much information their online business as possible.

Traditional “brick and mortar” businesses have done research on their competitors for years. They would scan the newspaper ads; have secret shoppers go into establishments. But how does one “spy” on competitors that operate online stores?

The following video reviews some of the methods I’ve used to identify the strong points and weaknesses of my online competitors using a program called SEO Recon.

During my advanced SEO Training Workshop I go into more detail on how you can use this program and others to gain an advantage over your competitors in your online marketing.

Hi Roy,
The link is, most regretably, not working…

Maybe I should have been more clear.

I’d like to see this offer. Can you supply a working link please.
