How can I get ranking keys of competitors
-
Sometimes it might be clever to analyse the stategy of a competitor to see with which keys they rank successfully. For example I have a webshop, so I type in amazon.com and seomoz spits out: books, dvds, ... I can now see with what keys i wont have a chance and can think of missing keys where my chance might be. Is there a possibility to find out with seomoz?
-
No problem, you guys is worth it.
Thanks for the Q&A point, did not think of it. -
but only the keys you added, no?
-
Lots of good answers. Easier would be, if there was a tool. can't be that difficult. Maybe an idear for the team...?
-
The Q&A forum is available just to Pro members, so if someone is in here asking, that means they also have a pro membership.
Thanks for the compliment about the Pro membership Robert!

Check their keyword metatags and titles... the keyword listed there are the ones they want to rank for. Then launch a rank checker to see how they perform.
-
Term extractor is for all, the KW Difficulty just for Pro members.
-
both great tools. SEOmoz has a ton of tools as well.. if you setup campaigns, you can also add competitors and track their wins / fails as well.
-
The term extractor tool is very useful, and I use semrush.com if I want to check what a competitor ranks highest for.
-
Not sure if this is part of the PRO package or available to all, but http://www.seomoz.org/term-extractor and the Keyword Difficulty Tool are both helpful.
A shameless plug for SEOmoz here is I have never regretted having the pro membership.

Strategies for discovering competitors and selecting key words
Hey Moz community! What are some tools to use to find out who my competitors are and which keywords they are ranking for? Next, once I have found out this information, is it best that I try to outrank my competitors for thee same keywords? Or should I be going for key words that are more specific? What strategy should I use when selecting my key words...? Any help or advice is MUCH appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Limit of 3 competitors per campaign
Hello, Can I just check why the number of competitors per campaign is limited to 3? ie. We have up to 20 URLs we want to monitor for the same keywords as us. I understand I can add another campaign to track another 4x URLs, but this will not show those in relation to our main URL/campaign. We would prefer to have space for 12 competitors rather than 12 campaigns. If we upgrade to Elite is the number increased? Might be missing something here, as we are new to SEOMoz, so grateful for any advice. SEOMoz is really great, we have learned so much already. Rich

How Do You Leverage Linkscape Data to Overcome Your Competitors?
Hi everyone...I used Q&A a long time ago when my company had a paid subsription but I haven't used it in a while, so I'm excited! And since the Q&A is apparently addressed to the Moz community, I figured I would embrace it and ask all of the Mozzers out there: How do YOU use Linkscape to reverse engineneer a competitor's website? I understand how to use Linkscape. What I'm looking for is specific filtering or "out of the box" uses of Linkscape to truly understand how a website has obtained it's ranking in the search results. In particular, I'm really curious about how everyone (including those who truly know how Linkscape works, i..e the minds behind it) make sense of the "DJ Passed" #'s or "most important links" criteria. I realize Linkscape is wonderful, but what I've found is that often times the links that "pass the most juice" or the links that are the "most important" AREN'T actually the most important links on a site. For example, I often find that the links that have the highest "DJ Passed" are directories. I could be wrong, but my guess would be that directories actually pass very little link juice. If directories gave as much link juice as the linkscape metrics indicate, then they are by far the best linking source, which I think we all know isn't the case in most instances. To be clear...My intention is not to "debunk" the value of Linkscape...On the contrary, I think it's a wonderful tool and I want to understand it's nuances so I can identify "false positives", use it to get a true picture of a website, and get any tips/tricks from those who've successuly used it to overcome there competitors. Thanks ahead of time!
