Here are the questions I posed to David Cancel during our chat:
– Can you give everyone some background on Compete Inc and Compete.com?
– What are the new features that are going to be added to Compete?
– When will these features be publicly available?
– Can this type of reporting be found anywhere else?
– What can Compete offer that someone like HitWise/Alexa can’t?
– Compete.com data and reporting is better used for sites with large amounts of traffic, are sites with 20,000 page views or less a month not your target demographic or is this something you guys plan on improving?
– Why are you making this available for free? Is there a premium, paid version of this product as well?
– How often do you plan on providing new features and reports for Compete?

Velocity: Used to determine the relative growth of a domain. Effective in determining the impact of planned/unplanned campaigns, events, releases, etc…
