AnalogX allow you to download a free program that extracts the keywords from top sites, sorts them and allows you to use them in you own pages.

I uderstand that there is alot more to page rank than simple keywords but they are V important.

Is is legal and is it common practise?

so you're saying that there is no real benefit from it?

Not that I can see. You want to write pages that have your keywords as often as possible, but still make sense to humans. I never look at what my competition uses for keywords because I want to *beat* them... not emulate them.

If someone does not know their own market well enough to come up with a great list of keywords without sifting through other sites - that person has already lost. By researching your own keywords you can find obscure words and phrases that others are not capitalizing on.

I agree with mojo..except.......its human to sometimes miss the obvious. If you are at a loss to come up with keywords, you arent thinking and if you only go with your competitor, you arent leading. however, you might have missed an obvious perfect match and you dont want your competitor to have it and you dont. Its worth a little time to peek at your competitors.
