Wiep, thanks for the sphinn!
Again good article from Annie.
It's a good pointer about not knowing which work - all too easily competitors copy each other, leaving a trail of the same websites with the same links to the same competing websites - fish in a barrel for devaluation by Google.
Personal recommendation - don't follow your competitors lead, but instead become a trailblazer yourself. Then your competitors will be left trying to follow in your footsteps, not the other way around.
2c.
A great point, Brian. I would also recommend to combine your competitors' techniques (at least best of them) with your own findings. Anyway, competitive research is more about seeing their mistakes than following their footsteps.
