What are the best sources of competitive advantage for a fast growing Internet software company?

There's never a substitute for building your product and talking to customers.

If you're not well versed in growth hacking, let's talk.

Depending on your market, there's a variety of algorithmic ways to pursue customers and hundreds of API's to power the pursuit.

The one insight I have here that isn't often mentioned is the number of high fidelity backlinks per an hour that you're able to produce.

If you use http://ahrefs.com you'll notice that the highest growth ventures have a strong correlation with backlinks. (Causality is difficult to identify, but correlation isn't. ) The internet was built for land-grab tactics.

I have worked with several internet software companies and the best sources are the most popular social networks including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. They test different sections of the site and remove the more unsuccessful ones to trim the fat.

LinkedIn is the best example. They give members the most desired features on top without the member having to scroll down.

Also, reading online magazines like Mashable help with trends.

Wanting to look at how your business might leverage newer software is just one reason you might find yourself contacting a specialists won’t necessarily try to sell you on the newest, most hyped-up software solutions, but they can take a look at both your current and future business needs to determine what kind of system will put you ahead of the pack. Integrating this kind of software into your own business can help you seamlessly follow up with customers, manage complaints, and organize your customers based on their spending preferences. Ultimately, there has never been a better time to use contemporary software to get your business where it wants to be. One of the keyways that companies stay competitive is by keeping tabs on data about their clients and the market in general. Advances in data analysis have shaped the way companies make their business decisions, particularly because we now have access to such a wealth of statistics, facts, and figures.
It is hard to find an industry anywhere that has not been revolutionized by the advent of mobile and tablet popularity. To keep competitive, you really need to recognize the impact of mobile and plan your business around it. For example, allowing your employees to handle business remotely can give your team an advantage, but the challenge then becomes providing rock-solid security for business communication and information storage when your employees might not have access to a secure network. Moving your business operations to the cloud can decrease your business costs, improve your company’s agility, and encourage better collaboration between your teams. Keeping competitive is all about looking toward the future and embracing the way it shapes how we work. If your technology is behind the times, your brand is not reaching its full potential. Technology trends can evolve swiftly, and sometimes the options seem overwhelming.
