how to analyze competition??

ThatSEO said:

Simply see who is ranking for the keywords.

Filter down the top say five sites that are ranking at the moment. Look at their back links and filter the links into sections like

Links that are quick to replicate like directories etc - free for anyone to join

Blog posts aka guest posts - replicate what you can

See what Web 2.0 site they use and replicate

Then move into their social channels - Twitter is best as its easy to download their followers, see who has a website and yet again, replicate

Once you've done that it's the case of doing what their doing, but better and scale it

my problem is that i don't know how much is my maximum potential to outrank a website in terms of DA and PA, how much is the maximum for a new site to rank?

For the moment don't really worry about PA or DA - clone from your competitors what you can, do it by hand and when you feel you're getting at least some progress, scale and maybe use tools etc

Use your judgement before stats like PA or DA - if a site looks shit and spammed to death, leave it

Yea manual is crap but if you don't understand what works and doesn't, tools just make things crap on scale
