How to reseach Your Compititors' Search Engine Rankings
There are over 8 billion website out there. Most if not all websites are created with the goal of making money in the long run. That is why the competition to rank high on measure search engines will never stop increasing.
Many people simply don't know the basics of making research on a competitors website who is better ranked than you. I say this because the question is asked in all the forums i visit so i want to give a small discussion on that in this blog post.
of cause meta tags influence your rankings!!! especially the title tag. The keyword tag is not important in Google's eyes but it is good to put it maybe for other search engines.
It is quite easy for you to check the number of backlinks that are pointing to any site. The good thing you can do is maybe investigate the url of your competitor and yours as well, so you can better diagnose the reason why they are better ranked than you. And i bet you there must be a good reason to explain it. In fact the most probable reason will be that your competitor have more backlinks than you. Page rank too is of great importance and counts in your rankings!
You should do the following research. check the number their links pointing to their website(your competitor) on yahoo. use this search query link:url-of-the-site.com. You of course have to replace url-of-the-site.com with a valid url. This will give you an approximation if the number of links that they have. Then also check your backlinks links.
From that point you will know how much work to put in so as to out rank them. It is not always easy tough, but you have to give it some time and lots of efforts, especially if you are dealing with competitive keywords
