Keep An Eye On Your Competition! 03/25/2010
 By Michael Gier - Publisher, Online Media Today One thing I love to do with any business I own is keep an eye on what my competition is doing. I do this because I want to know what they are offering or changes they are making or new programs they are implementing that could take business away from me. A great site called ChangeDetection.com provides page change monitoring and notification services to internet users worldwide. Anyone can use their service to monitor any website page for changes. All you do is fill out a form and they’ll create a change log for that page and alert you by email when they detect a change. The best part…it’s free!  ChangeDetection.com Another great tool that most of us know about is Google Alerts. Create an account, type in the words you want Google to keep an eye on and they’ll sent you emails, with links, that show you anything that talks about that topic, company, or name.  Google Alerts Set-Up Keeping a watchful eye is not only helpful but also a must if you want to beat your competition.
