I more-or-less agree with Marcus. Hitwise actually has some really interesting data (eg. being able to see the top 'referring sites'/'referring keywords' for your competitors is great), but most of its reports are only really useful if: 1. you've got enough budget to buy a long-term subscription to something that's only really useful a few times a year 2. you need to provide (pseudo)-competitive analysis to a board 3. you don't have the time/knowledge to dig for the info you need elsewhere This is my first time reading your blog - there's some really good stuff on here! daniel hi, Dave, how are you?

I more-or-less agree with Marcus. Hitwise actually has some really interesting data (eg. being able to see the top ‘referring sites’/'referring keywords’ for your competitors is great), but most of its reports are only really useful if:

1. you’ve got enough budget to buy a long-term subscription to something that’s only really useful a few times a year
2. you need to provide (pseudo)-competitive analysis to a board
3. you don’t have the time/knowledge to dig for the info you need elsewhere

This is my first time reading your blog – there’s some really good stuff on here!
