The reason you can't see individual referring keywords from which a site is getting traffic anymore is because of Google's policy on not showing the vast majority of these in Analytics. Instead, you see "not provided" listed alongside a lot of organic traffic figures. More about "not provided" here.
Others' answers about using Webmaster Tools, etc. are our best way of analysing the keywords used in organic traffic nowadays.

Hi
I am assuming you mean organic traffic. Paid is a lot easier.
GA this week has re added a SEO report. This tells you the top 1000 keywords driving traffic, but these numbers to me seem to be aggregated.
if you have the cash or access try Hitwise. Very good data and very useful for giving competitor traffic too.
You can also use search metrics that is pretty good software for keywords and rankings.
as mentioned webmaster tools will give you this info so there are quite a few places to get this info. Just depends what you want it for and how detailed.

If they're all in a folder (like /blog/ or /articles/) then I'd just go with a site: query (ex - site:competitorsite.com/blog/ which will give youa list of all the pages in that folder Google knows about. If they have tags etc. you can also remove those qwiht a negative (i.e. site:examplesite.com/blog/ -site:examplesite.com/blog/tags/).
You can also look for common text just on the posts ("written by" for example) and query:
"written by" site:examplesite.com
Cheers !

Hi Morgret , No it's not my site it's my Friends . I do have access to analytics . But when i tried to export the complete keywords i had no option of checking all of the keywords marked ..Only 10-12 of them were marketable .
Thanks

If it's your site head over to Webmaster Tools. The query data will tell you where your clicks are coming from.
If it's a competitor I've found SpyFu to be the best tool for that one. Not perfect, but decent.
And what kind of posts are you talking about? Post on their site? Guest blogs?
-
Is this your site, or a competitor's site?
You can do a bit more if it's your own site and you have access to analytics, though Google is not allowing the vast majority of keywords through to any analytics reports anymore.

Houston Company Needs Help (Will Our SEO Work Be Destroyed While Site is Down?, Can Anything be Done?)
I'm a Moz member, mostly just lurk, and love the Moz community. I work at a non profit company that does benchmarking data and helps school districts improve process in education. Our building flooded and our site is currently offline, is there anything we can do to stop/lesson any SEO page rank drop between now and when we are back up? We have worked very hard to get these rankings. I know it is minor compared to all tragedy in Houston, but we have worked hard to get these SEO gains (YEAH MOZ!) and I'd hate to lose them because of Harvey. Any suggestions, assistance appreciated!

Why has our site had a huge spike in referral traffic?
Starting last week, our site had a HUGE spike in referral traffic from: search.dnsassist.verizon.net. We have never had a visit from there until last week, and had 12K visits last week so something is happening. The traffic does look normal though, all visits were in the US from 700 cities and pages/visit, avg visit duration and bounce rate are close to site average. There is a few other referral sites that showed up last week as well: wind.search-help.net, uslc.search-help.net, finder.cox.net. All of these sites are low, around 30 to 50 visits a day, but we had not any referrals until last week. I did notice most of these sites state "Explore with Yahoo Search." Just wondering if anyone has every seen this before and wondering what is happening. Thanks for reading. <colgroup><col width="207"></colgroup>

Should URL Follow Navigation Of A Site?
Following an SEOMoz webinar the other day, where the presenter made a case of eliminating folders in URLs, as these could confuse a bot when crawling a site. I love the idea. However, there are still a lot of Best Practices and guidelines out there that will suggest there should be a logic in the URL, just as there should be in your Navigation. My question in that regard is whether or not there is any value for a bot to crawl a website URL that follows the navigation by "stuffing" the URL with folders, identical to the navigation present on the site, and even a secondary navigation present on all pages? Example: the navigation of a site goes [Domain > Folder > Sub folder > Sub-sub folder > product]. What is the benefit of using a URL such as [www.domain.com/folder/sub-folder/sub-sub-folder/product] vs [www.domain.com/product] Thank you guys for your insights! PS this is a WP site we are talking about.

Can some keywords get penality? - all situation
Last 3 years we created backlinks with 3 main anchors for our website.
SERP Trends | | bele
Domain name example is www.jackusedcars.com , keywords: bmw , audi , mercedes. We have chosen some big keywords as our main keywords. And some more small search volume words: buy used cars, used cars sell off. 90% of backlinks are with main keywords. OSE:
BMW 2,505 162,638
audi 1,111 209,542
mercedes 735 64,649
used cars 382 28,368
car sale 136 8,517
toyota 108 13,106
buy used car 34 820
car sell off 28 710
usedcars.com 26 45
sold cars 23 472 Website title example is: BMW Shop, buy Audi and Mercedes used cars 90% of backlinks are to index page. (Now we have Linking Root Domains 5,158; Total Links: 512k) all backlinks are related, we never used any auto spam tool etc.
in 2011, November 16-30th "audi" keyword traffic dropped, around -80%. Other keywords were ok.
We haven't been kicked by penguin in august 24. Graph was the same. Since November, our index page traffic dropped by 70%... 1st question: We got penalized for overoptimizing with "AUDI" keyword? Or its just another reason it stopped driving traffic? I know that for such linkbuilding we could get kicked by penguin on next update. So now we are de-optimizing the website, changing our old backlinks to different anchors and different urls (car pages - with car name anchors). We are quite good in the search results with product pages now. 1st page always - serp depends on the competition. For example "Used BMW 530 car for sale". We are creating new backlinks like this:
10% to index with different anchors - not the old big ones
20% to http://italian.jackusedcars.com with italian anchors
20% to http://www.jackusedcars.com/search/bmw530 with "buy bmw530", "bmw530 sale" and so on
50% to product names http://www.jackusedcars.com/BMW-530-i-x-2009-full-options.html with product name anchor We still want to get our traffic back with popular keywords. We have them written in title and keyword density on-page is 0.99% (previously was 1.37%).
Every month we lose around 10% of traffic to index page. We were with these keywords in top3, and now only 1 keyword is somewhere in top10, others are not even in top50. 2nd question: Should we remove "BMW, AUDI, Mercedes" from title? (they are still driving us around 20% traffic + 20% with bmw sub-keywords) We could lose almost 50% of total traffic. Only sub-pages will drive traffic with non-popular keywords. We have plans of making page www.jackusedcars.com/bmw and optimize it with "BMW" keyword. Could it go through?
Some old backlinks would be changed to this page.
Our best conversion is with these main keywords, so we really need to get them back. All comments are welcome. Graph attached. visitors_yearly.jpg0 -
How to optimize a site for search engines in India
I am working on a website that is a manufacturing company selling items to companies in the United States, India and some other countries. I already know what keywords I would target in the US but what about India? In the US we optimize our keywords for the Google search engine but in India what search engine is the biggest. I know http://www.google.co.in/ exists but is that the most powerful (most users) for India? Is there a certain language I do research for keywords or should I stick to English keywords? Also if I rank for a national keyword (no location in the phrase) well in the US should it be similar for India?

Is hosting videos on our other, searchable sites competing with our site-hosted videos?
We use TubeMogul to diversify where we display our videos (in addition to YouTube), but are looking into using a video hosting site so that we can drive traffic back to our own website. Would uploading videos through TubeMogul be essentially like competing with a much more highly-ranked website with the same content? Worth it? Are there any disadvantages to using TubeMogul in general? Thanks!
