-
Hi ,
I am researching on a site and i am trying to find the main keyword from which this site is getting it's majority of traffic . I am also trying to find out all the posts published by that site .. Is there any way to get it ? Any tool available here in Moz ?
Thanks

The reason you can't see individual referring keywords from which a site is getting traffic anymore is because of Google's policy on not showing the vast majority of these in Analytics. Instead, you see "not provided" listed alongside a lot of organic traffic figures. More about "not provided" here.
Others' answers about using Webmaster Tools, etc. are our best way of analysing the keywords used in organic traffic nowadays.

Hi
I am assuming you mean organic traffic. Paid is a lot easier.
GA this week has re added a SEO report. This tells you the top 1000 keywords driving traffic, but these numbers to me seem to be aggregated.
if you have the cash or access try Hitwise. Very good data and very useful for giving competitor traffic too.
You can also use search metrics that is pretty good software for keywords and rankings.
as mentioned webmaster tools will give you this info so there are quite a few places to get this info. Just depends what you want it for and how detailed.

If they're all in a folder (like /blog/ or /articles/) then I'd just go with a site: query (ex - site:competitorsite.com/blog/ which will give youa list of all the pages in that folder Google knows about. If they have tags etc. you can also remove those qwiht a negative (i.e. site:examplesite.com/blog/ -site:examplesite.com/blog/tags/).
You can also look for common text just on the posts ("written by" for example) and query:
"written by" site:examplesite.com
Cheers !

Hi Morgret , No it's not my site it's my Friends . I do have access to analytics . But when i tried to export the complete keywords i had no option of checking all of the keywords marked ..Only 10-12 of them were marketable .
Thanks

If it's your site head over to Webmaster Tools. The query data will tell you where your clicks are coming from.
If it's a competitor I've found SpyFu to be the best tool for that one. Not perfect, but decent.
And what kind of posts are you talking about? Post on their site? Guest blogs?
-
Is this your site, or a competitor's site?
You can do a bit more if it's your own site and you have access to analytics, though Google is not allowing the vast majority of keywords through to any analytics reports anymore.

Getting indexed in Google Scholar
Hi all! We have a client who publishes scholarly research as a highly regarded non-profit. Their Publications aren't being indexed in Google Scholar 50% of the time and when they are, Google is pulling random stuff from a PDF vs. from the html page. Any advice on best practices is enormously appreciated

Why has our site had a huge spike in referral traffic?
Starting last week, our site had a HUGE spike in referral traffic from: search.dnsassist.verizon.net. We have never had a visit from there until last week, and had 12K visits last week so something is happening. The traffic does look normal though, all visits were in the US from 700 cities and pages/visit, avg visit duration and bounce rate are close to site average. There is a few other referral sites that showed up last week as well: wind.search-help.net, uslc.search-help.net, finder.cox.net. All of these sites are low, around 30 to 50 visits a day, but we had not any referrals until last week. I did notice most of these sites state "Explore with Yahoo Search." Just wondering if anyone has every seen this before and wondering what is happening. Thanks for reading. <colgroup><col width="207"></colgroup>

Pros and Cons Google Site Search
I'm having a hard time finding the actual pros and cons of implementing Google Site Search on a website. Thoughts? Any data on bounce rate of internal SERP because UX doesn't look like the website? I know you can customize, but most examples I've seen still look pretty different from the stie's native style. Any other cons? Data issues, etc?

Can some keywords get penality? - all situation
Last 3 years we created backlinks with 3 main anchors for our website.
SERP Trends | | bele
Domain name example is www.jackusedcars.com , keywords: bmw , audi , mercedes. We have chosen some big keywords as our main keywords. And some more small search volume words: buy used cars, used cars sell off. 90% of backlinks are with main keywords. OSE:
BMW 2,505 162,638
audi 1,111 209,542
mercedes 735 64,649
used cars 382 28,368
car sale 136 8,517
toyota 108 13,106
buy used car 34 820
car sell off 28 710
usedcars.com 26 45
sold cars 23 472 Website title example is: BMW Shop, buy Audi and Mercedes used cars 90% of backlinks are to index page. (Now we have Linking Root Domains 5,158; Total Links: 512k) all backlinks are related, we never used any auto spam tool etc.
in 2011, November 16-30th "audi" keyword traffic dropped, around -80%. Other keywords were ok.
We haven't been kicked by penguin in august 24. Graph was the same. Since November, our index page traffic dropped by 70%... 1st question: We got penalized for overoptimizing with "AUDI" keyword? Or its just another reason it stopped driving traffic? I know that for such linkbuilding we could get kicked by penguin on next update. So now we are de-optimizing the website, changing our old backlinks to different anchors and different urls (car pages - with car name anchors). We are quite good in the search results with product pages now. 1st page always - serp depends on the competition. For example "Used BMW 530 car for sale". We are creating new backlinks like this:
10% to index with different anchors - not the old big ones
20% to http://italian.jackusedcars.com with italian anchors
20% to http://www.jackusedcars.com/search/bmw530 with "buy bmw530", "bmw530 sale" and so on
50% to product names http://www.jackusedcars.com/BMW-530-i-x-2009-full-options.html with product name anchor We still want to get our traffic back with popular keywords. We have them written in title and keyword density on-page is 0.99% (previously was 1.37%).
Every month we lose around 10% of traffic to index page. We were with these keywords in top3, and now only 1 keyword is somewhere in top10, others are not even in top50. 2nd question: Should we remove "BMW, AUDI, Mercedes" from title? (they are still driving us around 20% traffic + 20% with bmw sub-keywords) We could lose almost 50% of total traffic. Only sub-pages will drive traffic with non-popular keywords. We have plans of making page www.jackusedcars.com/bmw and optimize it with "BMW" keyword. Could it go through?
Some old backlinks would be changed to this page.
Our best conversion is with these main keywords, so we really need to get them back. All comments are welcome. Graph attached. visitors_yearly.jpg0 -
Storing & Analyzing Site Search Phrases
We are adding a JQuery smart search to our site that provides product suggestions as our visitors type. I can create a simple script to store precisely what the visitors are searching for and how they type it. However... I am not sure how to best analyze the data for use. Simply storing the data does not tell me how many times a particular phrase was used. I believe a smart suggestion search tool will skew my results, as it will suggest what I list my product names as in my database rather than what they call it. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I found a great JQuery script for the suggestion search, but is there anything out there for storing and analyzing the user search input?

Is hosting videos on our other, searchable sites competing with our site-hosted videos?
We use TubeMogul to diversify where we display our videos (in addition to YouTube), but are looking into using a video hosting site so that we can drive traffic back to our own website. Would uploading videos through TubeMogul be essentially like competing with a much more highly-ranked website with the same content? Worth it? Are there any disadvantages to using TubeMogul in general? Thanks!
