I wish to know how can I track users via what keywords they are searching and coming to my site exactly. These are non paid keywords.
-
There is a list of non paid keywords which is showing up but is that all ?
I wish to know all the keywords people are searching and coming to my site? How can I accomplish the same.
-
So then I wish to know how do I compete with my other websites. Lots of them are not that meaningful still they show up before us. What should we do in order to rank high than our competitors? Adwords? Better content? What exactly
-
Google Adwords will show you what keywords the visitor/clicker searched for, when the ad they clicked on showed. The point here is that you will of course pay Google per click made on your ads.
If you are ok with that, then yes, you will se a history of which ads were triggered/showed by which keywords "that the visitor typed in". Yes, if you go this route you will indeed see alot of keywords that were actually typed in.

Yes I am using Google Analytics
I just opened my analytics - Am I looking at the correct sections.
Traffic sources>Search>Organic - these are the keywords which users are searching and then coming to my site? I can see some of the keywords there.
If wish to place google adwords as a reverse engineering method for these keywords does that help?
-
You'll need some form of analytics on your site in order to do this. The most common is Google Analytics and form within it you can see what your best traffic sources are (facebook, twitter, google etc.) and you can see the keywords that were searched to find your page. This can help you reverse engineer your customers...are you using analytics currently?

Spam sites republish a article with 'money keyword' anchor text and causing a pentalty.. how to prevent.
About 6 weeks ago we had a DA50 / PA50 homepage site publish an article on our company which included a money keyword anchor text to our site.. Great. Once this happened we shot up the SERP for this term, but quite a few other spam / crawler sites seem to automatically republish everything this DA50 site publishes. This didnt seem to be a problem up until a couple of weeks ago, but now with the new penguin update it seems we have been slapped with a penalty, for having 20 sites all with the same article and anchor text. (the rest of our profile is pretty natural, so this is the main culprit for the penalty) Im now going to write to all the webmasters apart from the DA50 site, and ask them to remove the article, failing that ill have to disavow them. For future reference what is there a way of avoiding this issue of spam sites republishing a propper article and triggering a penalty.

Accidentally generated navigation links that point to American site from Australian site.
Somehow we ended up getting hundreds-of-thousands of links coming from our .au (Australia site) to our .com (America site). We believe that something happened during a change that turned a handful of our example.com.au navigational and footer links into back links pointing to example.com and sub-domains of the American version. We are currently fixing this, but we are wondering if this could potentially be problematic in terms of a penguin penalty due to an unnatural linking campaign or back link scheme. Could this error create major problems for us in the near future if we have corrected the issue? Your thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

Starting SEO For My E-commerce Site?
Hey guys, So I'm starting SEO for my e-commerce furniture store and I'm a little confused. Right now the only links I have are from sponsored posts. How do I get links from other sources? What other sources are there besides sponsored posts? I submitted my site to Dmoz.org and I was also going to submit it to the Yahoo directory. I have contacted a few personal home decor blogs but have not heard back from those people. Could someone steer me in the right direction. Thanks a ton!

What is a healthy ratio of keywords being used as anchor text in external links to our site?
Hi, One keyword is being used as anchor text in way more external links to our site than any others and I'm getting a lot of mixed advice whether or not to do anything about it. The agency we previously used had managed to remove about 1500 links (out of 6000) however our rank for that search term is still very poor. **We have 4500 external links with the anchor text "ABC" and the next highest amount of external link anchor text is the term "XYZ" which has about 400 links. That is over 10 to 1. What is a healthy ratio of anchor text between different search terms to aim for? ** Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Site wide back links
Hi, One of our sites has a site-wide link from another site. So, Google sees 6700 pages from that site link to one of our pages. Is that something to be concerned about? The other site is http://www.daum.net/ We also have 2000 pages that blogspot.com links to us from. Both these sites have high domain authority, so I would hope all those links score well. But I certainly don't want to be penalized for links that appear spammy. Thank you in advance.

What are Best Practices for Ault Site SEO
Has anyone here had experience doing SEO for an Adult DVD website? A company has approached me and they obviously only want White Hat practices. I have used open site explorer to do research on some competitors. The top competitors of this company seem to have only a few high PR links from High Authority industry sites and almost all have a link from the Yahoo Directory. Does anyone know where or how to create high authority content links from this niche? It seems that most of the competitor links are on sub par pages and are single links in the side nav of other sites. I am not sure if I can post a link to the company here but any suggestions on link building for adult sites would be great. Please remember they are a retailer and don't have pop up advertising or any illegal content. Thanks,

Link Pinger? Is this something I should know about?
Just came across a post written back in 2011 that speaks about using a 'link pinger' to bring attention to the link and expedite the process of Google recognizing the link. Is this something that still works today? If so are there recommended tools?
