Tool Request - What keywords does a site rank for?
-
Hi folks,
Something I've never had to do before so I'm not sure which tool to use, but is there a way to determine the keywords that a website currently ranks for?
Hope someone can assist
-
Ah, you know what the problem with SEMRush is, they don't cater for Traffic in South Africa, which is where I am based
-
SEMRush is a fantastic piece of software and I completely forgot about it. I was really hoping SEOmoz would have a tool, but it seems not. Thank you Streamline Metrics
-
I think we will all be taking a look at that one - thank you!
-
SEMRush.com is exactly the tool you are looking for. One of my favorites.
-
There could be, I am not sure. The company I work for did some sort of a trial so I could play with it for a few months and give my COO feed back before they entered in to a contract but I don't know if the trial was free or just at a lowered rate. We use it in an agency setting so we have many slots we can move clients in and out of - if you are just getting it for one website it is probably much more affordable.
-
Thanks Billy, i'll be taking a look at that then. Is there a free/trial version?
-
BrightEdge really does do it, as well as many other things (I sound like a BrightEdge commercial, LOL). It is expensive though and of course, who can say if it finds them all....
-
Sorry, I am the one that misunderstood your question, read it too fast.
I don't believe there is one single tool that can be used to 'discover' all the keywords any single site ranks for. There are a number of tools you can use collectively that may give a bigger picture.
I dug out an old moz post that might be of interest - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/what-keywords-do-i-rank-for.
Other than that I've not been able to locate a programme in the past that will do what you need on its own.

I understand totally. If you do decide you want a quick report run just let me know. I would just have BrightEdge add the domain and wait for their next crawl (they crawl every weekend) and I can email the report to you the following Monday. No problem at all Happy to help.
-
Cheers Billy! I'll keep looking and see what others can say, and then give you a shout.
Worst comes to worst, I could use something like WebCEO to find the keywords on my site and then SEOmoz' Rank Checker to see the positions, just felt it would be incredibly useful to have an "all in one" solution because sometimes we miss really important keywords, that turn out to be ranking really well. I know Google Analytics can pick that up sometimes, but that's more about intuition than an actual tool.

Michael, in my question I ask for a tool that will find the keywords that my site ranks for. In other words, the tool "reads" the website, determines the keywords, and then crawls the Internet checking their positions. SEOmoz' Rank Checker can do what you're suggesting.. Unless I've misunderstood..
-
I can totally dig that! If there is a tool here that can do it, it is one that I have not utilized. If it comes down to it you can message the URL to me and I can have it put in to BrightEdge (we have some open slots) and see what it can find for you. Let me know if I can help (billy.j@vizergy.com)

You can install rank tracker from here for free: http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/
Pretty simple to use, once installed add your sites domain name and then a few keywords you with to see your site ranking for.

Nothing in the SEOmoz umbrella? Trying not to sign up for yet another SEO application
-
BrightEdge can do that.

Best Keyword Strategy for Lower-Authority-Ranked Domain
Hi, What should a lower-authority-ranked blog (DA - 21) who is trying to increase general traffic focus on above all when selecting keywords: difficulty, monthly volume, opportunity, or priority? I know that all are important factors to consider, but I fear that without an already consistent following our new content will just get hidden behind more established domains if we select too difficult of keywords. I'd love to hear from someone who's built up a blog audience as to what strategy they used here. Thanks!

SEO and page redirects from a high ranking site quandary
We are launching a site on a new domain that is taking the place of a group (subset) of pages in an existing domain. BUT The pages on the existing domain have really good SEO rankings in a very competitive category and we want to leverage the traffic it gets today in the best way, so.... Which of the following would be the best practice in this case (in regards to SEO)? Modify the existing pages' content so that there are prominent calls to action that lead the users to the new domain. Create permanent redirects for the existing pages for their counterparts on the new domain. This is more direct for the user but we don't know how it will affect the current ranking. Something other than the above. Many thanks for you help Gary

How do YOU use site explorer?
I normally use open site explorer to identify links that competitors of my clients have and sometimes this gives me what I call 'some low hanging fruit' to go after. (and of course links that are more challenging to get) I don't know why this didn't occur to me sooner. If my client is a chiropractor why not look at the links for 50 or 100 of the top rankings chiropractic sites all over the US? This would HAVE to uncover a wealth of blogs to comment on that have good authority, great industry associations, publications, forums - a whole wealth of items. It made me wonder how many people use site explorer like I have been (top 3-4 competitors that your client has) or identifying links pointing to LOTS of competitors? How do you use it? Couldn't you almost base an entire link building campaign using OSE? Why would this be a bad idea if not? Just some random thoughts. THE WEEKEND IS ALMOST HERE - Have a great day everybody! 🙂

Google Webmaster Tools and Open Site explorer's links not matching up
My question is why do my GWT's links not match up to the ones on Open Site Explorer. I watched John Mueller's video, and he said that they had problems with the link counts recently. After checking my links today, I can see that the problem is fixed, but my link count differs from Open Site Explorer. On Web Master Tools I have 307 links, but on Open Site Explore I have 42. Has anyone dealt with this problem? thanks. Peter

How to Link build for our site
Hello, A client of mine has a site that gives advice to people. It's moderately competitive. It's a content site. Using Open Site explorer, I looked up competitor's top pages and backlinks, and there were things such as sites that were heavy on directories, sites heavily on editorial mension, sites on juicy topics that I don't want to cover, and the rest was pretty much junk. Just so that you know, I only link build with quality websites that look strong, long term, have a nice design, are high quality, and are not a directory (with a few exceptions) What's the standard way to link build with a site like this? We've got 7 articles of good content that is from me spending hours learning about the subject and using my skills as a life coach. Right now I'm just adding quality content and social media. I am not a top expert in the field, but I'm learning as much as possible. How do we link build?
