Part 1: (maximum 300words)

For this exercise, you need to select a page to analyze Ebay.com or Amazon.com. You will also need to identify a primary competition for your chosen site. Go to http://moz.com/researchtools/ose and enter the URL for your selected site (copy paste from your browser to include the correct prefix of http:// or https://). Using the little “I” (info) icons next to the terms (e.g., Domain Authority) and the links on the left side of the page, spend some time exploring the data available to you on this site. Repeat the process for your competitive site.

The Open Site Explorer from Exercise 2 is only one of hundreds (thousands??) of sites that provide free information/tracking/metrics related to search engine optimization. Spend some time Googling terms in Chapters 2 or 3 to see what you can find. What was your favorite tool/site? Why?
