See Competitors Page Views

[TravG]

Anyone know of a tool where you can see what pages of a website get the most views? If you want to look at a competitors website and see what pages are getting the most views, is there somewhere you can do that?

Thanks

Why are you worried about your competition's page views?

I've tested my own domain and the results didn't even came close to the actual stats. It even states "this domain has not advertised on Google AdWords", although I have ongoing ads with them for years.

I guess it's mainly to know how it performs compared to others and to determine the need of changing the strategy.

Yeah, these free tools are mostly inaccurate

With semrush.com you will be able to get 'an idea' but, I don't think you'll ever get good figures as to what is really going on. However, semrush will give you some insights.. Hope you can use it.. (If you did not already know of this site)

Same question still applies

I think it's interesting to know some data from the competition, to determine how your own sites performs compared to them. If the competition (and I mean sites with a similiar kind and amount of content) has a lot a lot more pageviews, you might need to improve seo, content and/or advertising.

I don't think its possible to get an accurate representation with any third party tool unless you install some sort of tracking on the host site. I.e If you don't own the site (or infiltrate it) you wont get an accurate indication. SemRush is probably the most accurate for what you are looking for in my experience.

I guess I don't understand why it matters - unless trying to steal or "borrow" ideas from someone else's hard work and research. Those who truly "know" their industry and are innovators do not need to peak in on others to try to gain a shortcut via the "great idea, me too" imitator approach.

When used on my own site, SemRush is not even close - nor is any other "tool" aside from my own stats program.

If you have a very large amount of money to spend (and I mean many tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars) then there are services that will provide detailed information about traffic on a competitor's site.

I believe it is most commonly it is done by the major e-commerce providers to obtain details regarding traffic on their competitor's sites as part of a comprehensive competitive analysis. Obtaining this type of competitive data is, I think, a fairly common practice among large businesses in competition with one another. You might imagine that major booksellers would like to understand traffic on each other's sites to inform certain types of strategic decisions, or the same of major electronics companies, auto companies, etc.

The most common services provided by companies that monitor web traffic are aggregate visit and page view data for sites on the web. This type of data is still expensive, but a lot less expensive the custom competitive research looking at traffic with a site. You can get good data within a particular market segment for a small number of tens of thousands of dollars a year. Such services generally have access to complete urls and just discard the details of pages within a site.

I know this because Casino City pays for good data about traffic to different operator gaming sites. In our case we obtain detailed aggregate domain-level traffic data for operator sites visited by players located in Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. And within the United States we have traffic data broken down by state for a number of states. We use this data to rank online gaming sites relative to one another on our online.casinocity.com website based on traffic the sites receive, and have done so for over a decade.

It has nothing to do with stealing, borrowing or imitating. As entrepeneur Tim Berry states: "Whether you're creating a new business plan or revamping an old one, knowing what your competitors are up to can save your business." This is the full article: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/78596

An other article: "Knowing who your competitors are, and what they are offering, can help you to make your products, services and marketing stand out. It will enable you to set your prices competitively and help you to respond to rival marketing campaigns with your own initiatives." http://www.infoentrepreneurs.org/en/...r-competitors/

I can agree with those statements and the concepts in the articles if we're all manufacturing and selling toys or books or equipment. I can even agree with those statements and the concepts in the articles if we are all actual operators or running a white label.

I cannot agree with those statements and concepts in the context of running an expert review portal. If you know your industry well and are truly an "expert", you do not need to see how others are getting traffic or to figure out what keywords are driving people to websites. To do so, one lacks expertise, creativity, and originality.

Well, at least we can agree that we don't agree

By checking which programs your competition are promoting, you can see what's popular and what's not. With this knowledge you can decide to promote the same programs and go with the flow or to pick different programs and distinguish yourself from the rest.
