Well done Ann. I particularly like the idea of focusing on sites with fewer backlinks — we often forget that with frequent search engine updates, it’s very likely that those newer pages (if they’ve been SEOd by smart people who are current with the times) will have more link juice per inbound link than the older ones… and thus ripe for modeling.

@SeoMexFan: my post on exploring competitors’ techniques will be up shortly. There I am describing how to use SEOQuake and other tools.

@Shawn: I keep SEOQuake deactivated most of the time for daily browsing. Another solution is to edit preferences so that it did not show the info by default (only once you request for them) or that it gave you all minimum info required (like to provide you only with age data for example). These can speed up the process. As for Aaron’s tool, it is also great and it is the matter what you are more used to. I am not sure if it can sort the search results by any of parameters (can it?) – the feature I really like in SEOQuake.

I used SeoQuake for a while and it seemed to really slow down my browsing. I recently switched to Aaron Wall's SEO for Firefox add-on. Have you tried using this? It really cuts down on the lag time in search results loading, and it can load all the data SeoQuake provides.

Hola Ann,

Excellent post.

I´ve using SeoQuake for a month now, and it really saves me time, and puts me the right info on my Google Serp´s screen.

However, waht I would like to know is what you do with this info you get by using SeoQuake. I mean, how do you asses what further actions you should take to `fight` this new competition sites.

Really looking forward for the third part of this post.

Saludos.
