Find out what keywords a site is ranking for
-
I want to find out what keywords a site is ranking for.
In other words, I want to find out how Google is currently seeing a site.
I've used Google KW tool - not very accurate when you simply type in the URL.
Is there anything in SEOMoz I can use? New to this. thanks

SEMRush is exactly what you are looking for. Just plug in a URL and you will see the top organic keywords as well as PPC keywords any website is currently ranking for, the number of searches each month and the estimated percentage of traffic any particular keyword is responsible for generating. It's very useful to quickly find out the keywords your competitors are targeting and ranking for, as well as on your own site to uncover keywords that you may be ranking 19th for that you weren't even aware of.

Hi Clare
If you are talking about your own site, then Dorothea gives a couple of good ideas.
If you're wondering what competitors might be ranking for, there are a couple of options. Keyword Spy is one of my favourites, as it will find the competitive keywords that your competitors are ranking for, potentially allowing you to uncover some hidden gems. There's also nothing stopping you from running this analysis on your own site.
There's a monthly fee, but there's also a free 30-day trial you can take advantage of. Everyone loves a bit of free!
Hope this helps.

Woorank offers a cool tool that gives you insight on what are the keywords you are ranking for well right now.
In addition to this like Kettler suggested Google webmaster is one of the best tool for this thing.Search queries an area which gives you what is your average position,Impressions and clicks on that keywords.In addition to it you will also know what are your top pages.

Best two things you can do are:
1. Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools and then go to Traffic -> Search Queries. The keywords your site ranks for will appear within a few days after you confirmed your site on GWT.
2. Use a traffic tracking service and check if you get any traffic from search engines.

Keyword Research: Page Authority and Keyword Difficulty
A speaker at a conference suggested using your Page Authority (of home page) number as a benchmark in keyword research to compare against keyword difficulty number. So if you had a Page Authority score of 60, you would look for keywords with a difficulty of under 60 (using the MOZ metrics for keyword difficulty). Has anyone used these metrics in this way? Any success?

Rankings go up and down, up and down, up and down
Almost every week we have more than a two dozen keywords that will all suddenly increase in rank only to then decrease in rank right back to where they were the previous week. This happens constantly despite the fact that we are doing very little SEO-wise on a week-to-week basis. What might be causing these constant shifts?

SEOmoz campaign - keyword rankings...
Hi there, I have a quick question: Does it make a difference if I add keywords to a campaign with the '[' and ']' brackets included? I just realized that I had copy/pasted many of my keywords from the exported CSV from the Google AdWords Keyword Tool and I fear that the keyword rankings on SEOmoz might factor the brackets as part of the keywords themselves. Thanks in advance! Ben

How can I change the day my keyword rankings are updated?
I have several campaigns which currently get their weekly keyword ranking reports updated on different days. I'd like all of them updated on the same day, so I can just check in one a week for everything.

If my keywords aren't driving any traffic to my site, why am I still ranking for them?
In several of our campaigns we have watched our keywords steadily climb the rankings without ever registering so much as a blip in the traffic data column. If these keywords aren't driving any traffic to our site, how are we still ranking for them?

Potential site architecture problem.
We are experiencing a problem in which category pages do not appear to be passing Page Authority to subcategory pages. See the example below: Home page has PA of 47 http://www.minespress.com/ The next level category page down has a PA of 34 http://www.minespress.com/category/apparel The next sub category down has PA of 1, and shows no links at all in spite of the fact that we got to it from a category link http://www.minespress.com/category/golf-shirts The page in question is crawlable, is indexed and has nothing that we can see that would be prevent it from showing Page Authority and a link profile using your tools. Do we have a site architecture problem?
