Tool for finding what keywords a competitor ranks for?
-
Does anyone know of any good tools that display what keywords a competitor ranks for?
I have many competitors that I know get a lot of traffic, but I'm not entirely sure where the traffic comes from so it would be nice to plug in their url and get a general overview of what keywords they rank for and what positions.

If you use a MAC - SERank is great
If you use a PC - Web CEO

Agree with the guys here, another vote for SEMRush, though having analysed my own sites on it numerous times, its really a rough guide not an exact science, very useful all the same.

You may wish to explore SEOProfiler and SEMRush, both of which have features that can help you identify what keywords competitors are ranking for.

Hello,
A good tool which I think could help you better understand the types of keywords your competitors rank for is www.semrush.com. It's a paid service(from $69.95) but there is a free version which provides you a little insight.
What's good about this tool is it provides the organic keyword rankings for your competitors so it helps you improve your keyword research etc...
There is also 'keyword spy' feature if your competitors are advertising through adwords.
Although, I wouldn't put my house on it being 100% accurate, I would say it should be around 70-80% which is pretty cheap considering it's only $69.95 month.
Hope this helps

There is a difference between keywords they rank for, keywords they get traffic for, and keywords they make money from. I rank number one for the phrase "People usually build battleships, battlecruisers, and cruisers" and all kinds of other exact phrases from my home page -- but it doesn't mean that anyone is searching that, or that it's making me any money. Adobe Reader ranks for "click here" but it's not a converting phrase for them.
My gut says you'd need expensive tools where they have access to a ton of data at an ISP level to see what queries people are typing for sites you do not own.

I am familiar with both those tools and they do not provide what I am looking for. Specifically I'd love something that spits out a report of the top 100 keywords they rank for in google and shows their positioning in the SERPs.

I use SEO site tools extension for chrome. This allows you to easily see their meta description and keywords. Same as looking in their header tag just a bit quicker.
SEO book have a keyword analyser. http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword-density/
They should be ranking high for their most mentioned keywords if their doing things correctly.

Use OSE and look at their anchor text. This should give you a clue as to what keywords the have optimized for.

# of links and how it impacts ranking
Hi everyone I was running a competitor analysis in Moz Pro of my site and 3 competitors that are ranked above me. One of the things I noticed is that my # of total links is very high compared to 2 of my competitors(please see attachment). Other seo tools are telling me the same. This is mainly due to a few affiliate sites that have us in their footer. I was wondering if this could impact our ranking if some of these sites have very low domain authority and have thousands of backlinks to our site? I am looking into starting the disavowing process.

Would sharing the same IP address with competitors in the same market hurt SEO?
I work for the Chevy dealership in New York who is trying to rank against other Chevy dealerships in the same area. All the dealerships, including my client, are using the same Chevy endorsed CMS (Cobalt). I just noticed that all of these competitors, including my client, are using the SAME IP address. Would it be beneficial to SEO if we were to ditch the Cobalt platform and choose another one that gave us a unique IP address? Have any of you run into this before? Any help would be appreciated.

How did this little site rank #2?
Keyword: "adoption agency" Site: http://www.opendooradoption.org These guys are ranked #2 for this very competitive term in all US regions. They're beating Bethany (and my company) who are orders of magnitude larger in both company size and link profile. Their domain authority is 40, and they have less than 200 links pointing to them with "adoption agency" in the anchor according to OSE. Their on-site is pretty much nonexistent. Does anyone have any theories as to how they accomplished this?

Can anyone explain this top-10 ranking?
How on earth can http://www.plimun.com/ be at #6 for "web design", with only 15 total linking root domains, and no mention of the term in link text?! See: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=www.plimun.com This is one of the biggest anomalies I've ever seen.
