Watch Your Competitors with www.watchthatpage.com

January 25th, 2007 by Jared Bothwell

Until I discovered watchthatpage I thought the only way to keep up to date with changes to a competitor’s website was to visit and have a quick look to see if anything had changed. While in theory this sounds like an easy process the reality is that I was lucky to visit these websites once every couple of months.

With watchthatpage  you can register the websites that you wish to monitor and then receive an email as soon as any changes have been made to the site. It is fairly simple to add pages by just using the favorite’s function of your browser so no need to copy and paste URL’s. My only word of caution is beware of sites that incorporate a date field as it is likely that you will be receiving an email each day informing you that that day had changed. Other than that watchthatpage is a great way to contribute to your competitor intelligence efforts.

    You can try also TheWebWatcher (http://www.thewebwatcher.com), the advantage is that you will receive the alert of the change immediately, because you can choose your own monitoring interval.
