Use of competitive kw search software for KW discovery for SEO
-
I use traditional methods for keyword discovery, but occured to me that perhaps competitive keyword software should be applied to competitor's sites for further possibilitites.
Any opinions or experience using this strategy? I know it used primarily for PPC, but value for SEO KW discovery?
Any personal recommendations on which programs considered most effective?
Thanks.

Hi... posted this question on Friday and you were great responding back very quickly.
I responded back sharing my goal is to use it to gain some insights about my competitors.
I see you haven't responded. I'd be appreciative to know what program/software you recommend.
Thanks.

Thanks Himanshu...
Sounds interesting and something I'll try. I'm not familiar with these other software recommendations and appreciate the suggestions.
As you well know, this process is tedious enough. Getting some shortcuts or employing some alternative strategies may help, if not make it more interesting.
Thanks. Alan

yes. my thinking is that strong competitors have done their due diligence. why not review their efforts against my results to look for any gaps or more creative thinking.
i've found that many of our competitors employ this approach with copy, why not do the same with KW determination?
Thanks.

I use 'semrush' to determine keywords which are bringing maximum number of organic traffic to my competitors website. I also use 'screaming frog seo spider' to quickly scan the title tags of my competitors and determine the keywords they are targeting. You can also use 'xenu' for this purpose. Competitive analysis can give you lot of keyword ideas which you may not be able to find otherwise.

I think I know exactly what you're looking for...
It is for competitors though, yes?

Competitor using our product descriptions
Hi, We have a competitor (with a higher DA) using some content from our product pages word for word on a few of their product pages. It's only a couple paragraphs per product page (including the main product description), not the entirety of the content on the page. It also appears they have scraped some content from another authoritative competitor (and even left their brand name mentioned on it!) I've read mixed thoughts on whether plagiarized content will harm the original site, but am concerned since it is an authoritative site. Should I be concerned since it's only parts of our product page? Thank you all!

How does a site get to no 3 in Google with no KW in their links?!!
Hello everyone, my first post - ahhh I'm investigating a niche and there is a site that should have no right being there in my view. It's no. 3 Google UK for 'company formation' with a small site with 65 weak links from only 7 domains and hosted in the US. But more importantly, the Open Site Explorer says there is not 1 link with that term in its anchor text. This I find crazy and makes me suspicious. But before I go back to my client saying "oh they must be black hat" I would like your expert views. I'm not sure whether to tut or congratulate them and for the first time I'm not sure what reasons to give for their amazing performance! What's your views?
