Thank you for this, Loren. I love the idea of finding the number of inbound links using Yahoo! Site Explorer, but I’m not seeing a way to do that on the site. Would you please share more details? Thanks, ann

Yeap, you have forgotten Twitter and all other sites that in some way are directly related with it, like tweetmeme.

Thats not a bad idea, but you might just end up with a ton of junk with Google Alerts. Thats the sort of thing that, in my brief experience, really needs to be fine tuned in order to weed out the useless junk that you’ll get through the alerts. Then again, I suppose your post is probably focused on doing just that, so I’ll be stopping by. ;)

I think the article takes competitor analysis to the extreme. For most law firms, this type of research would be exhaustive and costly. As an owner of 9 businesses, consultant, professor of New Product and Service Development at NYU, this tactics will typically produce two outcomes. 1) a me too product. Look at your competition long enough and you will mirror them. 2) the efforts should be directed outward to solving tomorrows challenges as a law firm and this tactic looks at yesterdays solutions. Thoughts??

Nice competitor analysis tips from an SEO perspective. If you are not an SEO but more focused on your competitors overall marketing efforts ( SEO is just one component )
A very useful free tool like Google Alerts does a great job to gather / spy on your competition.

I’ve written a detailed post on using Google Alerts to spy on your competitor here; http://bit.ly/Gripp

Hope this helps
