Today I was busy spying out the competition. I recommend that everyone does this from time-to-time, especially if you’re  trying to improve your search engine ranking. Enter your primary search term into a search engine and take a look at the first few sites that come up (hopefully you’ll be up there somewhere).

Taking a careful look at what the competition is doing can give you a great boost. Whatever they’re doing, you need to do it better. It’s as simple at that. You want to look at site design, web content, and most importantly backlinks (that is who is linking back to that site).

Anyway, there I was taking a look at what everyone else is doing, and I find this one copywriter who actually put his prices up, along with some samples of his work. Not to toot my own horn, but I charge a lot less than he does, and my work is in a different class altogether. For one thing, it was clear that he doesn’t understand the first thing about SEO, even though he claimed to.
