        You can only see a small percentage of the keywords driving traffic, due to (not provided) and Google not sending data on the vast majority of keywords.

          If you also want to find out "Not Provided" Keywords then you can check with SEOMOZ  http://analytics.moz.com/search/landing-pages/

          Thanks,

              Also worth a quick mention,

              The new landing page tool in Moz Analytics,

              If you build up your campaign keyword list a little with the keywork information you are seeing in Google webmaster (Also worth taking a look at Bing webmaster tools, they seem to be much more generous with information than Google)

              Then take a look at this feature, http://analytics.moz.com/search/landing-pages/

              It looks to be very accurate in my opinion,

              Hope this helps,

              James

                Hi,

                You can look at your Google Webmaster Tools account to know what are the search queries that your visitors used to land on your website from Google. You can also look at your web analytics data (like Google Analytics, SiteCatalyst etc) to know this data but as Google started encrypting the search, you won't be able to see the complete picture of your keyword data that is drving traffic from Google. If you don't have an access to webmaster tools account or web analytics, you can try using tools like SEMrush to have a fair idea about the keywords that are driving organic traffic to a website.

                Coming to the strategies, useful, relevant, updated content stands at the top followed by backlinks coming from other topical niche sites, good blogs and forums, authority websites like .gov, .edu, .org so on and so forth. If you can come up with top notch content, half the battle is won as good content is a natural link magnet. Those were my two cents my friend. Good Luck and please post back in case you have any other queries in this regard.

                Best regards,

                Devanur Rafi

                  I used to use Searchmetrics (years ago) which enabled me to add in the domain name into their website, and it would provide all the keywords that rank for it. Does Moz do that do you know? Thanks

                  Focus Keyword

                  Hi everyone! I am pretty new to SEO so all the help would be great. Does every webpage on our website need a focus keyword for example like the about us page. We have webpages for every location in the UK - Would it be helpful if the location webpages had a focus keyword also? Just to note that I am using Yoast on Wordpress. Many thanks,
                  Aqib

                  Keyword Themes - What's in a theme?

                  I recently read the Moz guide for  "How To Rank - 25 Step SEO Master Blue Print" and had a question on keyword themes. What is considered a theme? Is there a recommended number of keywords in a theme? For example, if my site is for listing and selling cars, would the following terms fit within the same "car" theme or should the terms be broken out by "cars general" / "car locations" / "car types"? Cars Cars for sale in new york Ford Explorer for sale

                  Keywords with and without diacritics

                  Hi, I am trying to make my site to appear in the search results even the searched term have or have not been wrote with diacritics for example: "șarpe" or "sarpe". The language is Romanian. If I seach for "Românul cu maşină, marea victimă" or "Romanul cu masina, marea victima" the first result for both searches is the same. I don't see anything special on their html code and I am wondering how do they did it. Regards, Bogdan

                  Keyword Moderator List

                  Hi Moz Community, I'm wondering if anyone has a comprehensive list of keyword moderators that they could share? For example: online
                  buy [keyword] online
                  cheap
                  cheapest
                  best
                  top
                  free
                  [country name]
                  [area name]
                  store
                  shop
                  purchase etc... I always find that it's useful to run [keyword + moderator] for search volumes as it sometimes uncovers some exact match surprises that you may not have thought of. Thanks everyone! Gavin

                  Keywords for fabrication (welding) company??

                  I've been tasked with finding the keywords for our website.  The difficulty I'm finding is receiving help from the fabrication personal to suggest keywords.  I'm not sure if its peoples imagination or if there's a general unwillingness. Can anyone make any suggestions here?  Is there a fabrication or welding keyword database I can put to them and hopefully get their brains working? Or even a way to see what keywords our competitors use?

                  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!
