Ready to get a little James Bond-ish on the ecommerce world? RepricerExpress<\/a> is spicing things up by telling you the best ways to spy on your Amazon competitors and get the kind of scoop to take you to the next level.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. VisualPing Their Site for Changes in Activity<\/h2>\n

You spend a lot of time on your own site, tweaking it so it delivers great user experience (UX) and looks great. As a result, you\u2019re intimately familiar with every nook and cranny and can draw it out from memory if asked.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no way you can extend that to your competitors\u2019 sites, and nor should you be expected to either. Your day is filled with more \u2014 and more important \u2014 tasks, but knowing what kinds of changes they make to their sites is a big boost for you. Luckily, there\u2019s a site called VisualPing<\/a> that can notify you of changes and alterations.<\/p>\n

2. Use Alexa to Your Advantage<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve never heard of VisualPing, that\u2019s okay. We\u2019ve got a site that\u2019ll sound far more familiar to your ears: Alexa<\/a>. It operates quite differently in that you don\u2019t get email notifications of your competitors\u2019 sites, but rather see how they stack up against you and the rest of the world in general.<\/p>\n

This one\u2019s super handy because you can see how you and your competitors rank globally in terms of position, if that number has gone up or down, and how positions have changed over the last day, week, month and three months. Plus, you can keep track of their backlinks, keywords and traffic \u2014 all useful tools you can use to your advantage.<\/p>\n

3. Become a Blog Reader<\/h2>\n

One of the most basic tips in ranking high in a Google search<\/a> is to provide regular, novel content. And the easiest way to do that is to maintain a blog where you can plug in relevant keywords and keep high in the search pages.<\/p>\n

So, given that blogs are an amazing place for new information, why not read your competitors\u2019? You\u2019ll get the first-hand scoop on what they\u2019re doing and looking at in the future, as well as what aspect they\u2019re playing from (i.e. what areas of interest they\u2019re focused on).<\/p>\n

\"Kev<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Social Media Habits Reveal A Lot<\/h2>\n

Want to know what your competitors are doing on Facebook and Twitter<\/a> without becoming a full-time marketing expert? Simple, don\u2019t while away countless hours trolling their accounts, especially when you\u2019ve got a tool like InfiniGraph at your beck and call.<\/p>\n

InfiniGraph works by analysing big data<\/strong>, like video content interaction, giving you an inside look at the stuff consumers find most interesting. You can use this to change the types of videos you present to your<\/strong> buyers, instead of wasting time on videos that just won\u2019t get a lot of hits.<\/p>\n

Twitter-Specific Spying<\/h3>\n

It can be a lot of work to look at data from multiple social media sites, so Topsy helps you out by narrowing things down to just Twitter. Plus, you have the ability to search through their tweets from all the way to 2007, which is just a year after the social media platform started. How you want to leverage Topsy to your advantage is to see which tweets are most popular (and when), what the biggest influences are, and how trends change on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

5. Get the Whole Deal<\/h2>\n

At the opposite end of the spectrum from Topsy is Quantcast<\/a>, which helps you track data in a whole bunch of areas: age and demographics, conversion level, and personal and lifestyle interests. We can\u2019t stress enough how important marketing is, especially smart marketing. If you can configure ads to target buyers as specifically as possible, you\u2019ll be off to the races.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

At the risk of your competitors also learning this, we\u2019re going to let you in on one last secret: repricing your products<\/a> is one of the most effective ways of boosting sales. But the only way RepricerExpress can make the magic happen is if you sign up for your 15-day free trial<\/a> and get started.
