As I mentioned earlier, for me success is about what, how, and work. This is my simple formula.
Anywhere my customers or potential customers express their problems and frustrations is a place for me to dig out opportunities. Forums, blogs, mailing lists, news groups, etc… Your what should be driven by your customers’ needs.
Most critical for success is how we do it. What sets us apart? What is our UVP? This is where following your best competitors closely, pays off.
Nobody is perfect. There is always a better way to do things or at least to appeal to another audience.
My approach is not to simply copy what my competitors are doing. This is the easiest path, but it is very difficult to stand out by just being another XYZ.

In addition, your competitor may be willing to exchange links between related pages of sites :) . I did this strategy and it works fine. It is helpful for search engines, but it's very good source of traffic as well. If links are placed in a visible place, then it's the best what you can do.
