How To Study Your Competition With Compete.com
Posted by JasperP on June 18th, 2008
Studying your competition is a skill you should master if you want to make more money as an affiliate marketer. By understanding your competition, you can create better sites, and better copywriting to outwit your competition.
The immediate benefits are:
- It’s easier to understand the visitor since some else has already done the research.
- Headlines and other web copy has already been tested for sites with months of history.
- Web sites has already been laid out for you, just take the elements from various sources and put it all together for a highly converting site.
Now here’s a tip I use pretty much all the time when I study new niches… I hope this doesn’t bite me in the end… but I study my competitors VERY CLOSELY with compete.com…
Why do I do that? Well if a competitor has been advertising in a niche for awhile, then he’s probably profitable right?
So how do I do that? Well… let’s take a popular clickbank product like Fat Loss 4 Idiots.. I think everyone is familiar with this product right? (A VERY expensive niche by the way, which I don’t recommend for any beginner/newbie)
And I use the product name “Fat Loss 4 Idiots” as the keywords:
Now here’s my little secret… I use Compete.com to determine their history!
In the screenshot above, you can see that FatLoss4IdiotsFlaw.com has been advertising since December 2007! If you are advertising for that long and getting traffic, then he must be getting something back. It would be a waste of time to just continue trying to create more traffic for the site.
Now he might be getting traffic from other sources, but from the screenshots above, you can see that he was advertising in the #2 spot for the product keyword name! I’m guessing to be in that #2 spot, that keyword must be REALLY expensive, but at the same time it MUST be converting into sales!
At that point, I would study all the different landing pages to determine what marketing angles they are using. You can then make it better than the original sites and add your own elements make it your own. Or you can even take the best elements into one awesome landing page site!

My Current Success…
Posted by JasperP on June 5th, 2008
So how am I doing now? I was able to do $9,551.54 in commissions for the month of May. My ROI is around 200-250% based on my adspend. Check it out:
I’ve been trying to build up my capital so that I can spend more on advertising. I want this business to expand so I’m not planning to spend the money on a car or anything.
The mindset is totally different when working for yourself as opposed to working for someone. I’ve learned that being in business, you need to maintain good cash flow and because money moves in and out of the account regularly, especially in large amounts!
The next step for me is to expand to other networks such as AzoogleAds, NeverblueAds, and others. I’ve made some money there, but was short-lived when Google put the smackdown in Late-March 2008.
I just applied for membership at UberCamp and just subscribed to ClickConsultants. UberCamp, hosted by Paul Borque of UberAffiliate.com, is more of an intermediate-advanced affiliate marketing forum where some great affiliate marketers such as Jonathan Volk and Ian Fernando participate in.
ClickConsultants is a newbie-intermediate (advanced?) affiliate marketing forum that also focuses on affiliate marketing. They provide free landing pages per month and also have tutorials on different aspects of PPC marketing with CPA Networks.
My current goal is to make $1k/day in commissions on average across 7 days. I think breaking the $1k/day will be a bit of challenge, but knowing the goal will help me to focus on it.
