Off-page SEO is the major reason in helping a site get high search engine rankings. Therefore, by analyzing the links of your competitors, you can find out what keywords they are targeting. The more a keyword is used at the anchor text of the inbound links, the more probable it will be for a site to rank for that particular keyword. You can spy on competitors’ keywords through link analysis.

Everywhere you look nowadays you read or hear about people using Twitter. But what are they using Twitter for?
Here are just some of the purposes for which Twitter can be used:
- Twitter as a replacement for email
This is because Twitter is faster than email (no need to open an email to read the message) and the tweets are much shorter messages (Twitter’s character limit is 140; does email even have a limit?).
- Twitter as an automatic news filter

Twitter rules of engagement may sound way too formal to those people who are active participants in the microblogging platform of Twitter.
First, Twitter is much easier to join than, for example, Facebook or LinkedIn because you can have a fully realized Twitter profile in moments as compared to the much more extensive information needed for a Facebook or LinkedIn profile to be fully realized.
Second, Twitter has perhaps less formal rules than many other social networking sites because you can follow anyone without asking permission as, for example, you must do on Facebook to friend someone or on LinkedIn to connect with someone.
