Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is a very helpful comment.  I'm curious about your recommendation to "simply put it your a disavow file"  regarding questionable things in your backlink profile.  I have avoided doing this because I thought it would be calling attention to my site when it hasn't ever had any kind of penalty.   I'm curious if you or others have been liberal about getting things disavowed and whether this has backfired, or paid off.  Either way I would be interested to know!

Hi Jodi,

I think your best bet for finding this view of data (search terms which lead to your site) is in Google Webmaster Tools.   Under "traffic" there is a page called search queries.   You can download this as a csv.   I use this to find out about keywords that I rank for which I may not have known about, and add them to my SEOmoz campaign for tracking.

Hope this helps!
