Competitor Analysis

Hi,
Is it possible to use SEOMoz to see the keywords my competitors rank for?
Thanks

Not to my knowledge.
Anything that claims to do so is probably simply analyzing backlinks for anchor text, keyword density, or looking at the keywords meta tag - so the data you get back will only be hypothetical as to what your competitors maybe or should be targeting... not necessarily the keywords they are targeting or ranking well for.
SEMrush.com claims to do such a task; however, I personally do not believe that it does an accurate job. At least in my opinion.
Good luck.

If you have SEOMoz Pro, you can setup Competitors in your Campaign Settings. Once configured, click on the Rankings tab of your compaign, then click on a given keyword. You will see a graph comparing how you rank against your competitors for the given keyword over the past 6+ months.
If you do not subscribe to SEOMoz Pro (which you should, cause it ROCKS), you can try using Google Adwords. Instead of searching for a word or phrase, you can search by Website. This displays keyword ideas for the particular website you entered.
So for instance, when I just did Microsoft.com, Windows 7, SQL, Xbox 360 all appeared as keywords. Once you generate these keywords, you can then just Google them and see where your competitors rank in comparison to you.
Hope that helps.
Mike

Please help me to understand. I don't care about this particular site but I'm trying to understand how things works. Thank you in advance for the help. Alex1 -
Drop in domain authority for myself and all my competitors, was something changed?
On the 1/11 report all four websites dropped, and starting on 2/12 they all dropped a few more times. These are all large companies who are completely white hat. Was something changed? The reason I asked is all of our linking C-Blocks dropped as well. Mine dropped from 114 to 42 and I have no idea why. All of my competitors dropped as well, is this related?

Keyword analysis - error with difficulty %
Hello everyone! Edge of all, I like and I use very often the "Keyword analysis" tool . However, recently, I have some difficulty to rely on the difficulty % of the keywords I've added. As an example I entered as keywords for a french speaking client, words with a geographical reference. It gives me a percentage too high because I am almost convinced that it would probably not be difficult to work with. My question is: is there any known errors with keywords georeferenced French (google canada - english) and also what to trust when I want proof of the difficulty of a keyword in case of some errors may occur in the tool.

How Does On Page Analysis work
Hi guys, I just need to run something past you. when I look at my on page analysis I have 5 key terms I am focusing on. For instance one of them is "computer backup". According to the report the current grade is 'F' when looking at site page "/" which I assume is the home page.
Moz Pro | | cubetech
When I do a lookup on other pages of the site it gets a ranking of A. Which is good. But since the hompage ranking went from A to F my rankings have definitely been affect. So i guess my questions are: does "/" mean the hompage, or all pages overall. What should I really be looking at here. I am assuming that you select certain pages to target certain key words. Should i be focusing like this, or more to the "/". Thanks Guys hoping to clear this one up.0 -
How to tell where a competitor's Facebook Shares are coming from?
Is there a way to tell where a competitor's facebook shares and likes are coming from? How to also tell what ads they have running in Facebook and their spend? I am looking at OSE's data and its telling me a competitor has 8.5K Facebook shares and 1K facebook likes. I go to their facebook page and it has about 25 likes. This site should not have anywhere close to the facebook shares/likes its receiving so wondering where they are getting their boosted traffic from.
