Competitive Intelligence – Competitors Traffic and Earnings
Competitive Intelligence – Competitors Traffic and Earnings
In the eCommerce world, everyone is looking for a benchmark, a standard from which they can measure their own site against. Are my 10,000 monthly visits average for my industry or am I at the bottom of the barrel? What’s the deal with my 1% conversion rate? Ideally, you’d like to compare yourself to the competing companies in your industry. So why not figure out what they’re earning? Here’s a great way to estimate what your competitors are making on a monthly basis:
Your Competitors Monthly Visits
There are some great tools on the web that can estimate the traffic of a site:
ComScore.com ComScore is the other corporate solution for companies looking for premier online benchmarking services. You may know ComScore from their Media Metrix rankings which are considered the premier Internet audience measurement rankings in the world. ComScore uses what it calls its qSearch 2.0 to offer the most comprehensive benchmarking view of the competitive online landscape available anywhere in the world.
Compete.com
Compete.com Compete advertises its service as powered by the largest pool of online consumer behavior data in the industry. The free tools and data they provide to measure the average site online is certainly impressive. One can quickly compare two or more sites for monthly traffic, specific site keywords, overall online reach, US audience share, current promotions, and many other competitive data points.
Compete.com requires you to register to access some of their more advanced features for which we have found the competitor tracking functions worthwhile. Compete also allows you the ability to start a comparison baseline between your site and your competitors then track the results indefinitely. You can also export up to one year’s worth of data by CSV when necessary to review the results.
Hitwise.com Hitwise is a corporate solution offering the best online benchmarking solutions possible. It’s not cheap, but it’s very effective.
The company measures the daily online behavior of millions of Internet users and gives fairly accurate estimates on how your site ranks against your competitors, how much time your customers spend on your site as opposed to your competitors, which websites drive traffic to your competitors as opposed to your site, and how much paid vs. organic traffic your competitors receive in comparison to you.
Such information is invaluable. If you can afford it, this might be one of your best competitive intelligence investments for 2008. Here’s a link to request a demonstration with Hitwise and kick the tires for yourself.
Alexa.com Alexa is a free service that estimates traffic on a site over a three-month period. The numbers are based on compilations gathered via the Alexa Toolbar that’s installed on the browsers of millions of users. This information can be used to gauge a site’s overall online ranking by combining a measure of its current reach and monthly pageviews. This reach is determined by the number of Alexa users who visit the site daily.
The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked highest. Currently that site is Yahoo. By comparing the Alexa rank of your site to your competitors you can see in simple terms how your traffic counts compare to your competitors. Alexa also provides information on incoming links and traffic trends over time.
Be aware, however, that Alexa’s data is highly skewed toward users who have the Alexa Toolbar installed. This means tech-related sites often appear to have higher traffic levels than they actually do because tech savvy people are more likely to actually install and use the Alexa Toolbar.
Quantcast.com Quantcast is similar to Alexa in that it’s a free search that uses user feedback to extrapolate larger traffic profiles for sites online. But it goes one step further by actually providing an estimated measurement of the monthly US-based unique visitors that a site may currently be receiving.
These reports are fairly accurate with regard to the monthly unique visitor numbers. We plugged several sites that we have log file access into the system and the returned results were very close to our log files. In particular, values returned for monthly estimated unique visitor numbers and current audience demographic information was much closer then we expected.
Both estimate the monthly traffic of a site (only U.S. traffic). I’ve seen some sites where they’re dead on, and some sites where they only estimate 30% of the actual traffic. On average, they seem to estimate a little less than half of a site’s actual traffic, so use these tools wisely.
Your best bet is to plug in your own site into these tools and see what numbers you get. Base your competitors traffic estimate on the same formula. Example: If compete.com says your site gets 5,000 hits a month and you actually get 10,000 (double), then simply double the estimate that compete.com gives for your competition.
Your Competitors Conversion Rate
Looking at todays (11/2/2007) Fireclick Conversion Rate Index, I see an average conversion rate of 2.30% across the board. This rate is taken from a number of eCommerce sites across the web and is one of the most accurate figures that we can access.
Fireclick also provides conversion rates by industry. Below are todays conversion rates, by industry:
Fashion and Apparel: 2.4%
Electronics: 0.5%
Catalog: 7.7%
Specialty: 1.8%
Outdoor and Sports: 0.6%
Software: 3.80%
Base the conversion rate of your competitor on these industry averages; if you or your competitors don’t fall into these categories, then use the overall average conversion rate of 2.30%.
Your Competitors Average Order Value
Use the following averages, as reported here to determine your competitors Average Order Value (AOV)
Computer Hardware: $584.87
Event & Movie Tickets: $121.60
Automotive: $119.23
Office Supplies: $102.47
Consumer Electronics: $99.12
Child/Baby Care: $86.13
If you or your competitors don’t fall into any of the above categories, use the overall average of $185.87.
Here’s the formula:
Monthly Visits x Conversion Rate x Average Order Value (AOV) = Estimated Monthly Earnings
For global companies looking to really leverage their competitor research on foreign search engines like Baidu in China or Naver in South Korea, ComScore may be the best solution. To request information on ComScore’s online benchmarking services visit them online by filling out a ComScore information request form.
A good rule of thumb for estimating traffic counts using these tools (especially the free tools) is to first view the site metrics listed for your own site and then compare them to your own internal log files. For example, if QuantCast and Compete return a total of 500 unique daily visitors for your site, but you know from your log files that you actually get 1,000, then you should double the numbers being reported for your competitors as well.
Of course you won’t know the exact numbers but you will have a pretty good idea what they are relative to yours by using this system of measurement.
This is a quick and simple way to estimate your competitors monthly earnings – if anyone has other suggestions to add to this formula, please contribute!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDW5zyjhCbc
If you have arived at this page you probably already know a lot about this rare (no long produced) computer accessory, but I will list some of the features along with some links to websites that can provide additional information.
What makes the Touchstream different from your everyday keyboard is the fact that it’s perfectly flat. Aside from tiny bumps on the home row keys (to help your fingers find their spots), you might as well be typing on your desk.
The TouchStream is sleek, compact, durable, foldable, and does everything FingerWorks says it does. This input device is a keyboard, mouse, and gesture pad. This item is one of the most impressive computer accessories I have ever seen. It can be very helpful for someone who spends alot of time on the computer or just a fun tool for you to use. I will also note that the keyboard can help you if you are suffering form Carpal Tunnel Syndrone, RSI, or other similar problems.
This auction includes ONLY the used keyboard. You are bidding on a USED FingerWorks TouchStream keyboard. It does NOT have the support pad with it, nor can I currently find any software installation disk.
Software might be be available at http://www.fingerworks.com/downloads.html or at http://www.soft32.com/s/Windows/Drivers/Miscellaneous/3-386-115-0.html or http://downloads-drivers.org/9977-Download-touchstream-st-lp-1-7-0-0.html
I have 100% positive feedback so bid with confidence. I also guarantee that the keyboard is operational and I provide fast shipping. I will accept ONLY Paypal.

Frequently Asked Questions: http://www.fingerworks.com/faq.html
Troubleshooting Guide: http://www.fingerworks.com/troubleshooting.html
Should Your Company Be on YouTube.com?
I know what you’re thinking… “My customers don’t hang out at YouTube.com. That place is for dogs with frisbees and skateboarders and lip-synchers and girls with big tattoo’s.”
I just looked up and found a wide range of firms with company created video. Everything from eLoan.com, LendingTree.com, Countyrwide.com to truck driving schools in Punjabi and in Atlanta to jewelry stores showing how to buy a diamond ring.
Also for those of us (like me) that have pooh-poohed YouTube, we should have perked up in November 2006, when YouTube.com was purchased by Google. Then there was last years Super Bowl. Marketers spent about $87,000 a second to reach the expected 90 million viewers of this year’s Super Bowl. As you are aware Super Bowl ads are among the most watched commercials each year. Doritos had two spots created by consumers. Yep, by the same type of people that upload videos to YouTube.com.
The two videos are: “Live the Flavor” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNxgxF-7SfA and “Check Out Girl” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH7qE7mFoMU In addition to being watched via the Super Bowl, they have been viewed at YouTube.com over 1.4 million and 400,000 times respectively. That is almost 2 million free views for just those two commercials. Are you interested in people WANTING to watch your commercial AND you don’t pay for bandwidth?
Heinz “invited America” to make the company’s “next great ketchup commercial,” with a grand prize of $57,000 (hmm, “57,” a bit subliminal). Dove, the cosmetics company has a video called, “Dove Evolution Self Esteem” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U which has been viewed over 4.4M times. How much would they have had to spend on TV to reach that many visitors who “wanted to watch” their commercial versus just reaching that many viewers.
Smirnoff, those purveyors of alcoholic beverages have two videos up. The first was called “Tea Partay” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTU2He2BIc0 and had 3.5M views and then they created a second video called, “West Coast Response” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWzNiUXTh7E which already has 3.2M views.
Another company, BlendTec is a bit of a cult legend on YouTube.com. They have a series of videos called “Will It Blend?” There most famous one includes blending an iPhone. They say, “Everybody knows that the iPhone can make phone calls, play movies & music, surf the web, and a lot more. But, Will It Blend?” Apparently over 1.9M people have wondered and watched the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg1ckCkm8YI In case you think this is an anomaly, this company now has over 50 videos up http://www.youtube.com/user/Blendtec By the way, the iPhone was pulverized by their blender.
Remember, this is FREE, customers come to the video and want to watch the video.
It goes on – the presidential debates and movie previews.
It even works for super niches. I made a college volleyball recruiting site for my daughter Kenzilla.com. Instead of uploading the video to her site I uploaded to YouTube.com and fed it to her site. Here are the stats for her video – one video has been watched over 38,000 times. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kenzie+aries
I am sure some of those were coaches, because she received quite a few inquiries and just has completed enrolling in college to play next year.
So, Should You Be On YouTube.com?
Umm, well — yep. Do you sell tea? Make a video of how to brew the perfect cup ( I just found 38 video’s and the top count was over 5,000) Do you repair surfboards? Show your work with before and after boards. Do you sell long term life insurance for nursing homes? Show what people should know and consider when purchasing this product.
Be sure to put the video on YouTube.com even if you have a clean video feed on your site. Be sure to spend time with the meta tags at YouTube because that is where you will get your visitors. The old way that used to work in doing meta tags for web pages, works great with YouTube. In example for the perfect cup of tea try these keywords: earl gray green english japanese chinese how to make tea perfect cup cups oolong bags herbal white mug black.
And be sure to either end or begin (or both) your video with a graphic giving your URL.
How To Comparison Shop Online For The Best Prices
I was discussing how I buy online with a friend who has an online store. She sells an item that people know, they just don’t know her or her brand. I told her that the way I shop online the same way her customers may be looking to find her store.
For my last purchase I knew what I wanted, but I didn’t know what brand or model to buy. Thanksgiving reminded me that we haven’t had a sharp knife in our kitchen for a decade, so I just decided to go out and buy a very good knife sharpener, not knowing anything about them.
I quickly found they run from $15 to $500 and many different brands. She asked where did I begin.
1) I go to Amazon.com and search my keywords and see which models and brands USERS have ranked the highest (just look for the stars in the results listing).
2) As I start to click on the top user brands I use the Amazon feature that shows what visitors either bought or looked at after visiting that page.
3) Next as I start to narrow down the model/brand I glance at the professional reviews but I focus on reading the user comments. As I was narrowing in on one model that was around $70-80, I then went and clicked on what visitors also looked at, which was two models up. The first thing I noticed was that compared to other models, it had a lot of reviews (66) and 95%+ were 5 star reviews rather than a typical bell distribution of some good reviews and some bad.
4) The users reviews were very interesting – they were talking about knives that were higher end than I use, but I knew nothing about:
“When I bought my Henckels (not the el cheapo Henckels International, mind you), I was doubtful… but this sharpener works.”
“I am an Executive Chef and have worked in a kitchen for over 25 years. I purchased this sharpener about a month ago and so far I am very satisfied. “
“I bought this knife sharpener because it is Cooking Illustrated’s highest rated power sharpener.”
“My 10 year old Henckel Knives are now the way there were the first day I bought them”
One person even wrote that while most people test for sharpness on a tomato, he always tests on an arm hair, to see if he can cut the hair without touching the skin, because if the edge is sharp enough, you don’t have to push down to the skin. He did include a disclaimer “don’t try this at home.”
5) I was sold on this higher brand/model so I next go to a couple of the price comparison sites and ebay.
6) The comparison sites had prices similar to Amazon. At ebay I sort and quickly glance at the buy-it-now pricing and compare that to the Amazon and price comparison sites. I found about a $40 savings.
7) Next I went to the ebay feature that shows CLOSED auctions and looked at the buy-it-now and auction final bids to decide if it is worth it to set up my ebay snipe program for this model or just buy it on the spot. I found that most of the final auction prices were within $5-10 of the lowest buy-it-now price, so I just found the lowest buy-it-now including shipping cost and bought from that supplier.
At ebay I always buy from someone who has over 100 feedbacks. This seller had about 900 sales and I received an email and tracking number a couple of hours later.
Was this the absolute correct buy for me and my household – probably, but possibly not. I am sure many people would know a better or cheaper option. But for my limited knowledge, and for the 15 minutes of research at my computer, it was probably a very good choice.
So, I told my friend, this is one type of strategy that customers are using to try and find “her store.” If you have a product that can be easily price compared and price is the main decision, you need recognize that people are shopping you this way. If you have a unique product (Christmas ornaments with pictures of your kids) you still need to be found by being listed in Amazon and ebay.
As an aside, over the years, I notice many “regular price” retailers also sell the exact same item on ebay for less. I am sure they do it just for the incremental income, but it is interesting that they will discount their item 10-30% on ebay versus their site price.
Yeah, yeah, I hear all those “but we have (pick one) service, history, competency, overhead” at our store people. That is surely important, but for many commodity type items (4GB flash drive, the latest DVD movie release) that isn’t enough to beat sheer price.
So, my question is to her was – how does your site compete against this strategy? I told her I did all that in less time that it took me to drive to her store. It actually took me longer to write this than to find and buy the sharpener…
I suggested that for her products she utilize both ebay and Amazon. And that even after selling fees and the like, additional sales would be a welcomed outcome.
