FINDING SECRETS THE EASY(ISH) WAY
11
Easiest way to find this out is to ask them...
12
... or become/pose as an affiliate
13@samuelcrocker
HOW TO STEAL THEIR THUNDER
14
Create alerts and quietly stalk...
15
Find Their Online PR Platforms: [Brand] + Press Release
16
...Then Pounce and Steal their Spotlight
17
There’s nothing wrong with a bad press release provided the information is true.

HOW TO GO TOO FAR
19
Some people will do anything to win...
20
Distractions I’ve Seen
• Mess with their analytics
• Fake mobile site
• Create a fake dev site
• Send in head-hunters
• Cease and Desist
PANIC
21
Going overboard: Do not blog or tweet
• PPC Trick – Quality Score• Got clicks?
• A tamer version of code injection?
• Bounce rate?
• DDOS?
22
My view?
23@samuelcrocker
HIT EM WHERE IT REALLY HURTS
24
It’s about knowing their weaknesses... start here.
• Social – are they proactive or responsive?
• Linkbuilding – are they building links on an ongoing basis?
• Email – are they doing it at all
• Do they have a mobile site? Is it any good?
• Is the well designed and easy to use?
