Detailed CompetitorAnalysis
If there were not any competitors one could simply publish their website, submit it to the major search engines and retain the number spot almost indefinitely. While this WAS the case in the early days of the internet it was simply due to the fact that virtually no one had a website. Now having a website is an essential component of running any business.
