Competition monitor - idea for an online service

[vividmind]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone will be interested in a competitor monitoring service?

Something that will automatically collect the rankings on sites like Alexa, etc. and then send you a daily/weekly report on where you rank amongst competition as well as send you alerts if somebody from competition experiences a spike in traffic.

Will this kind of service be in demand? Will you personally use it? If yes, how much do you think such service might be worth?

Thoughts?

Also, if you know websites that already do that, I'd appreciate some links. Thanks!

Possibly it will be interesting, but for me (for example) the Alexa rank is not so important issue.

More interesting thing is what are competitors doing. How they are increasing their position. Where do they post, where submit an article and so on.

But may be other user will tell completely different opinions.

Thanks for your feedback, Helen!
