With millions of websites on the Internet, there is boud to be competition. Let me reprahse that. With millions of sites on the net, you will have competition. But the web also makes spying easy

Following are three ways to see what your competitors are doing: Search for your competitors on the major search engines using their names and words that relate to their services.

1. Sometimes the search engines will even identify what sites your competitors advertise on.
2. Logon to closely related newsgroups and see what people are saying about your competitors.
3. Check your competitors' codes to learn what keywords and metatags they are using. They won't always be 100% accurate, but you can pretty much see what the various search engines see. Here's how:
   • Logon to your competitor's website using either Ineternet Explorer, Firefox, or Netscape.
   • Click on View
   • Click on Source

In that jumble of strange-looking words and symbols, you will see a section called "Description." You will also see metatags. These will contain the keywords that search engines see to help index your competitor's site.
