Hi Luis,
If I understand you correctly you would like to find what keywords your competitors are targeting simply by naming them?
See George's response.. here are some tips.
- Read their Title Tag, most optimized sites will have their keywords in the title tag
- Read their keywords tag, older sites may still have keywords tag, if so they are basically telling you what they are targeting, careful though this can also be used as a red herring to throw off snoopers.
- Read their H1-H4 tags, this is the optimal place to put keywords
- Use a Keyword Density tool, a keyword appearing more then the rest, is likely the one(s) being targeted
- Finally, do keyword research for your own site, the keywords that make sense for you to use, probably also make sense for your competitors to use. Once you have your keyword list just run them to see where your competitors are ranking.
Hope this was helpful

Hi Luis,
Here are some tools to find out what keywords a site is using: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/5-free-tools-for-competitor-keyword-research/28015/. If you know your competitors, plug their URLs into those tools to learn what keywords they are targeting.
Also, if you think it would be useful, Adgooroo has a product that will find out what keywords your competitors use for their ad spend. This will give you insight into what keywords are important enough to your competitors that they are actually buying advertising on them. It can also give you insight on which keywords may be worth spending on yourself if the organic competition is too high.
Hope this helps!

Would having a + plus sign between keywords in meta title have an effect on SEO?
I have seen one of my clients' competitors do this in their meta title and it got me a little intrigued... I understand that google uses the + sign as an operator in adwords, and to a certain extent, as a search tool, but would it help or make any difference to the SEO in the meta title/data (eg. 'SEO+Marketing+Services')? Thanks

Am I Being Penalized For Having My Whole Site In A Subfolder Named With A Keyword?
I inherited a client. For some reason, their previous webmaster set up the site so everything is in a subfolder /law/. It's an attorney website. All the urls have the primary domain name /law/ and then assigned url. I can't image this is helping but could the site be penalized for this by Google or Bing? It's set up like this: www.attorneysite.com**/law/**therestoftheurl /law/ is included in EVERY PAGE... even the homepage.
