Is this ethical?

I think it depends what you say about your competitors i.e. is it true. It is really common for customers to ask "why should I use you rather than x", so you had better have a good answer if you take sales calls. What is your USP (unique selling point)? cheaper, better, faster... It is simply a case of writing this down and putting it on the Web for your visitors.

49. Promote positive press mentions using the techniques in this thread.
