Ghostery


• Utilize Ghostery to easily see which pixels fire when you land on a page

    • Plugin available for Firefox and Chrome




                                                                             @Justin_Freid

Ghostery


• What software your competitors are using to run campaigns



• What partners your competitors are advertising with



• What your competitors consider a conversion



• No need to dig through code to find tracking pixels or conversion tags


                                                                                @Justin_Freid

Wouldn’t it be great if you could..

• Keep an eye on your competitors homepage
   • Are they adding new links?
   • Has their title tag changed?
   • Did they add new content?




                                                                 @Justin_Freid

Wouldn’t it be great if you could..

• Keep track of changes competitors make to deep high
  ranking pages
   • Changes to content
   • Anchor text alterations
   • Changes to html/tags etc..




                                                               @Justin_Freid

  ‘buying traffic’
