Tool for finding what keywords a competitor ranks for?
-
Does anyone know of any good tools that display what keywords a competitor ranks for?
I have many competitors that I know get a lot of traffic, but I'm not entirely sure where the traffic comes from so it would be nice to plug in their url and get a general overview of what keywords they rank for and what positions.

If you use a MAC - SERank is great
If you use a PC - Web CEO

Agree with the guys here, another vote for SEMRush, though having analysed my own sites on it numerous times, its really a rough guide not an exact science, very useful all the same.

You may wish to explore SEOProfiler and SEMRush, both of which have features that can help you identify what keywords competitors are ranking for.

Hello,
A good tool which I think could help you better understand the types of keywords your competitors rank for is www.semrush.com. It's a paid service(from $69.95) but there is a free version which provides you a little insight.
What's good about this tool is it provides the organic keyword rankings for your competitors so it helps you improve your keyword research etc...
There is also 'keyword spy' feature if your competitors are advertising through adwords.
Although, I wouldn't put my house on it being 100% accurate, I would say it should be around 70-80% which is pretty cheap considering it's only $69.95 month.
Hope this helps

There is a difference between keywords they rank for, keywords they get traffic for, and keywords they make money from. I rank number one for the phrase "People usually build battleships, battlecruisers, and cruisers" and all kinds of other exact phrases from my home page -- but it doesn't mean that anyone is searching that, or that it's making me any money. Adobe Reader ranks for "click here" but it's not a converting phrase for them.
My gut says you'd need expensive tools where they have access to a ton of data at an ISP level to see what queries people are typing for sites you do not own.

I am familiar with both those tools and they do not provide what I am looking for. Specifically I'd love something that spits out a report of the top 100 keywords they rank for in google and shows their positioning in the SERPs.

I use SEO site tools extension for chrome. This allows you to easily see their meta description and keywords. Same as looking in their header tag just a bit quicker.
SEO book have a keyword analyser. http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword-density/
They should be ranking high for their most mentioned keywords if their doing things correctly.

Use OSE and look at their anchor text. This should give you a clue as to what keywords the have optimized for.

Screaming Frog for competitor research
Hi guys, Does somebody experienced an issue with Screaming Frog spider while trying to crawl a website? It's weird since no error message appears and at the same time the crawler cannot crawl anything. There is no restriction in the robots.txt. Has someone encountered such an issue? Thank you. Cheers

Help! New site won't rank locally but should...
any help would be greatly appreciated... picked up a new client, a used car dealer in New Jersey. Have a VERY spammy site before, tons of keyword stuffing and lots of dupe content. also had a horrible design. (www.coopscars.com) We updated the design and the content, made it relevant and unique, fixed title tags, etc. Now he's not ranking for anything locally other than his business name. He's got a decent number of links, we've added relevant citations, his social signals are much stronger than they were... We do lots of SEO for car dealers, and we know that he should be ranking SOMEWHERE at this point - not saying he should be page 1, but he should at least be somewhere in the top 5... and yes, bing/yahoo are different, but he ranks over there... one page 1 for "used cars south river" - so why completely non-existant on Google? just as a test, he put up a free website at www.coopscars.net just last week - and it's already ranking for several local terms. I'm completely confused here - i'm not a noob, I know the tactics we've used on him work for other dealers. Thinking there's got to be something that's blocking him, especially since there aren't but maybe 15-20 car dealers to compete against locally and he still doesn't show up... thought i'd come over here and see if anyone has any ideas...

Effort for "moderate competition" keywords
I'm rather new to this, and while I'm getting some sense of everything I'm trying to figure out what kind of scope of work lays ahead of me. The keywords I'm looking to rank for are "moderate difficulty" -- somewhere between the 45%-55% "difficulty scale" on seomoz's keyword difficulty report. Assuming I have a number of "A-grade" (according to SEOmoz's reports) optimized pages for these keywords, how many links of a given quality level should I be looking at building up? I mean, of course, the more the better, but if I'm gunning for high DA/PA pages, am I looking at dozens here or hundreds of such links? I can imagine that any answer isn't going to come with much specificity, but if there was just an "idea" of the scale of backlinking involved here, that'd be great!

Good tools to compare site speed on different sites?
Google tells me that my site is slower than 81% of the internet.Now this is a very large news website, so I would like to compare this against other very large news websites. Are there any tools that will be able to tell me the speed of a list of websites? I am looking for something a little more detailed than 'this site loaded in 1 second'. Also, do any of you fellow SEOs know of any good tools to analyse what is causing your site to slow down? Kind regards

Competitor with over 100,000 links to duplicate copy ranks well, anyone know why?
One of our competitors has over 100,000 links on Yahoo site explorer, most of them are from pages on their site with duplicate content and they don't seem to have a focus on gaining backlinks, but the site still ranks really well. Can anyone think of a reason why this duplicate content hasn't been penalised by Google?
