Default EeeK- KeywordSpy???

Hi All,

I was checking my stats today and noticed this in my Traffic Statistics (referral section): http://www.keywordspy.com/find-compe...tesInsight.com

EEEKKK!

I went and checked out the site and in a nutshell, it's a software program that promotes finding out which keywords your competitors are using!

Now seeing as I realize the importance of great content (thanks to Lisa and SBI!), I am not too worried- In fact I guess I should be flattered? that my site is popular enough to generate some interest in which keywords im using...but that being said, my question is this:

Can I somehow block this site or program?

Any tips woud be appreciated! Thanks!

Yeah I wasn't too pleased the first time I saw one of these programs, but I would have been much more concerned 10 years ago than I am now. People can spy on you all they want and try to rank high for the same keywords you target but good content and quality backlinks always wins out in the end. The engines continue to get smarter and while these little tools continue to emerge, it's hard to compete with a truly popular site.

Most people who buy into those tools may be good and copying, spying, etc. but they fall short when it comes to marketing and producing good content for the long-term and as we know that's what really counts in the end.
