You have a business, and ever since you started an SEO campaign, business has been good and most of your business enquiries have been coming via your website. You are getting professional SEO support and an ongoing SEO program takes care of all your SEO work.They have optimized your website such as to attract a fairly good quantity of relevant incoming traffic which has been resulting in good business enquiries and sales. Now suppose you have other competitors for your business in your region and would like to know if your competitors also have an SEO campaign going on for their website. As you are ignorant on this issue it is making you anxious. They have always been your stiff competitors so you can't just call them up and ask about it! So what do you do?
Ok, if you want to find out if your competitors are also optimizing their website it is a very simple process to find it out. It is not necessary for you to send some one to spy on your competitors to get this information as it will only take you a few minutes to easily find out and confirm this information online. All you need to do is just go to your competitor’s website and check on its HTML source Code!
This is how one should go about it. Go to the concerned site's homepage on the browser and click on "view" and choose "source" and the HTML source code page opens up. If you are using Internet Explorer 2.x, right-click on the web page, and then click View Source. To view the HTML source code for a web page that contains frames, right- click the web page in a frame, and then choose "view source". Looking at this page you will be able to get the required information.
On this HTML source code page, just see if there are main keywords in the header tags KEYWORDS , the title tags , and in the image alt tags KEYWORDS alt>. These are always located near the top of the source code. Also if the content on the webpage has been optimized for the search engines, you will find that the text on the web page contains a minimal repeated use of the keyword. These clues are more than enough to confirm the fact that your competitor is also smart enough to have gone for website optimization. (Now you have another new area of competition and must outsmart him)
There are many free and paid online tools that can be used to get the HTML source code for any website. It is also a good practice to validate your site’s HTML code. W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) compliance should also be implemented for the users, to improve accessibility and usability of their website.
