Hi Lisa,

If you are asking about Google AdWords campaign then you can use competitors brand as keyword but you can't use in Ad copy but if you are asking about SEO then Google does NOT police this. So in the SEO sense you can use that and you won't be penalize.

What would be the benefit because a great effort required to rank competitors keyword and if your sites getting visits from those searches most probably bounce rate would be very high I have seen this in Adwords campaign by using competitors keywords?

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

First I would like to quote Brian Dean (Seo expert from http://www.quicksprout.com & founder of backlinko.com)

I chuckle every time people claim that directories are dead.

"In May 2012 Google deindexed a few hundred free directories. If directory links didn’t work then why would they deindex them?

Hint: they wouldn’t.

This matches my personal experience: links from the right directories can still do wonders for your site.

And because web directories are seen as “old-fashioned” in the SEO world, you can usually get from aged domains for next to nothing.

Here are some directories to consider submitting to:

Free:

R-TT Directory

So Much

Directory World

All The Websites

Paid:

Family Friendly Sites

Business.com Directory

"

Brian's the link building guide is also very useful to get links for new site.

I hope above info may help you to get more links.

Hi,

If you see (not set), that means that the traffic coming to your site did not have keyword. It might be from an odd search engine that doesn’t pass that info, or perhaps you’ve manually tagged something as Organic and not supplied a keyword.

are you running any Google Adwords campaign or you are talking about organic search?

I'm sharing an article where you will find all the possible condition for appearing (not set) in analytics
