What keywords does the competition have?
-
I know this might be a long shot. I've been working on my google rankings and am first for a few keywords but still seeing quite low traffic.
Is there a tool that allows me to see what keywords my competition is receiving high levels of traffic from?
Thanks
Dan

That's the one that slipped my mind. I've heard good things about SpyFu.

Also, SpyFu can be used.
I use Google Trends to look at what keywords (and their trends) that people are looking for. Once you have a kw inventory work backwards and see if competitors are using those or not. If not and it is relevant, there may be a good opportunity to leverage them.

Not really. If you're trying to figure out what keywords your competitors are ranking for, there are a few things you can do...
- View the source code of their pages and see if they have their meta keywords tag filled in. Some sites still put their target keywords in this tag which creates no SEO value. It does however serve up their desired keywords on a silver platter.
- Use the SEOMoz Open Site Explorer to analyze your competitors domains. Click the anchor text tab which will allow you to group all their links by their anchor text or target keywords. This is a quick and easy way to see what keywords they are trying for by building backlinks.
- You can use http://www.semrush.com to view ten of the top keywords that a competitor's website ranks for organically, showing the keyword, position in search results, traffic percentage, and other useful information.
Hope these help!

Hi Dan
I believe that both SEMRush and KeywordSpy would be able to do this for you. They are both paid services, but KeywordSpy does come with a free trial, so it's worth checking out to see if it can give you the data you're looking for.
Hope this helps!

Secondary related keywords
Hi, Let' say one of the topics I want to talk about is "wine tasting2. I do a search in the keywords tool and I find related keywords such as "wine tasting chicago" and all the words that I find do not apply to me because I do "wine tastings in Bordeaux". How do I deal in a situation like that ? Can I type in the keyword tool "wine tasting bordeaux" even though my topic is wine tasting ? I took "wine tasting" but I could apply that to the word "chateaux" where none of the related keywords apply to me. I run into issues when the topics are "large". The other question I have is still about "wine tasting" if I find secondary related keywords that apply to me such a "wine tasting in bordeaux", "wine tasting cellars" do I still need to add in my content the word "wine tasting" by itself in addition to the 2 related keywords or can I just only put the 2 related keywords ? Thank you,.

Keyword Plan Of Attack
We have looked up our direct competitor to see what keywords they rank #1 for (aside from their own company name). We have narrowed it down to 3 that we want to focus on. Our plan is to build internal landing pages, external landing pages and beef up our content. Is that a good strategy to start or are we missing something?

Bulk keyword competition tool?
The SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty tool is great, but the 5 keyword limit is too small. I need a tool that will allow checking the organic competition level of 100's of keywords (to help in selecting blog topics). Anyone know of such a tool?

How do I make sure my homepage ranks better than my 2nd page when I need the same keywords for both? I don't want them competing against each other for keywords.
I seen here on SeoMoz something about more than one page having the same keywords so they don't compete against each other for the same keywords that makes sense to me. But I would like my main page (homepage) to be ranked better over time rather than the 2nd page or do I just not care about the second page ranking at all and don't SEO the page very well? ,Both pages have similar content so I need the keywords for both. So im very confused on what to do with the second page. Thanks in advance to any helpful answers, i am a newbie when it comes to SEO.

Best Keyword Research Tool
Can anyone please recommend the best keyword research tools available, we specialise in the travel industry and struggle to find new keywords as the more niche ones always show no traffic searches in the google keyword tool so it is really difficult to make a judgement. We know from google analytics that some niche keywords really are useless and while they are no. 1 they generate no traffic. I hope you can help Thanks! Andy

Keyword Traffic Estimator Tools
Hello, I'm relatively new to SEO and looking to find a good tool for estimating the search traffic volume of different keywords in order to focus efforts on higher yielding terms. Right now I'm using Google's traffic estimator but it doesn't seem to have much data for long-tail keywords. Is anything else out there better or more accurate? Thank you!
