Compete.com - another web 2.0 analytical tool

I discovered compete.com today. You'll find that for many reasons, I love sites like Alexa, Delexa, etc. Now compete.com joins the bunch.

Compete.com does a few things...one of its goals is to allow you to see how "safe, popular and valuable a site is." Great idea with so many sites out there and a large number of new ones popping up every day.

Simply type in the name of a site and you will get a "snapshot" of the site with traffic history, trust scores and more. It'll also give you the promotion codes and coupons, if any, available for a site. Nice for shoppers and the like!

You can also compare sites, like on Alexa.

Compete.com also offers a search tool and blog to help you along your way in finding great sites and getting info on them.

If you spend any amount of time on the web, you'll appreciate the value of sites like this. Whether you're a marketer, a site reviewer, a shopper, a socializer, a networker, a blogger...whatever, these sites offer handy, valuable tools.

I could write a lengthy review here, but I'm just going to tell you to check it out...yup, it's free!

For now, I'll still continue to use Alexa, Delexa and now Compete.com to check out sites, compare them and find similar ones. Each of them has some tools I find valuable.

'till later...
