Linktree Link Popularity AnalyzerEmail to a Colleague

Linktree offers a no-cost tool that will tell you, site by site, who is linking to your competitors but is NOT linking to you. Simply enter the URLs of at least five competitors, enter your URL, and voila! Out pops a list of those websites that are excluding you from the linking party, plus links to the pages where your competitors' links appear. You can then use your common sense or other competitive recon tools to decide whether or not it's worth your time to approach those sites, hat in hand, requesting that your site be added to their link collections. This service is different from other link popularity comparison tools because it allows you to exclude your own site and thereby easily create a list of target prospects that aren't linking to you.

NetPeriscopeEmail to a Colleague

NetPeriscope is a competitive intelligence application service provider for online retailers. For a monthly fee, merchants can track competitor sites in real time. NetPeriscope's products monitor content changes and track individual products by SKU, ISBN, manufacturer or part number on competitors' sites. Merchants can run queries against competitor sites on product availability, delivery options, and can commission a trend analysis (over a period of time) to study discounting, availability or shipping patterns. Very sophisticated and very interesting CI product. Contact the company for pricing.

Power ReportingEmail to a Colleague

Edited by Bill Dedman, a Boston Globe correspondent, Power Reporting is a great online journalistic or competitive intelligence resource tool. Here you will find a neatly organized grid of links to every possible reporter's resource online. The grid is grouped under headings such as Beat by Beat, Companies, People Finders, Reference Shelf, Training and What's New. For example, look under the heading of "Company Research" and you will find dozens of sites that you can use to get the inside scoop on your competitors. The wide range of topics you can find here makes it an attractive alternative to a general Web search engine when doing competitive intelligence research.

SuperPages.comEmail to a Colleague

SuperPages.com (formerly InfoSpace) is an indispensable tool for finding people, addresses and phone numbers. Match a phone number to a name with a reverse lookup. Find all the residents of a particular address or street with an address lookup. Match an email to a name with an email lookup. Locate a person with a public records search. You can also use InfoSpace as a metasearch engine, and the white and yellow pages are second to none.

TracerLockEmail to a Colleague

TracerLock combines news monitoring, research and competitive intelligence gathering into one handy little service. First, it scans hundreds of news sites, newsgroups and search engines for the keywords of your choice, and alerts you as soon as articles, comments or new site listings are published containing those keywords. You can also submit your own list of URLs for it to monitor (for example, your competitors' sites), and TracerLock will let you know when new pages containing your designated keywords are published.

You can download the TracerLock toolbar, which will automatically highlight your designated keywords on any Web page that you happen to be looking at. While the "lite" version of the toolbar is gratis, if do you sign on for the full TracerLock service (which starts at $4[US] per month), the toolbar will integrate with your account so that you can add any URL to your "monitor" list with the click of a button. A 30-day no-cost trial is available at the site. If you like the idea of spying on your competition (and who doesn't?) you might also like TVEyes.com, where you can set up a no-cost account and monitor 40+ TV and radio stations for up to three keywords. Notification of any mentions arrives instantly in the form of email, IM or text message.
