Tool Request - What keywords does a site rank for?
-
Hi folks,
Something I've never had to do before so I'm not sure which tool to use, but is there a way to determine the keywords that a website currently ranks for?
Hope someone can assist
-
Ah, you know what the problem with SEMRush is, they don't cater for Traffic in South Africa, which is where I am based
-
SEMRush is a fantastic piece of software and I completely forgot about it. I was really hoping SEOmoz would have a tool, but it seems not. Thank you Streamline Metrics
-
I think we will all be taking a look at that one - thank you!
-
SEMRush.com is exactly the tool you are looking for. One of my favorites.

There could be, I am not sure. The company I work for did some sort of a trial so I could play with it for a few months and give my COO feed back before they entered in to a contract but I don't know if the trial was free or just at a lowered rate. We use it in an agency setting so we have many slots we can move clients in and out of - if you are just getting it for one website it is probably much more affordable.
-
Thanks Billy, i'll be taking a look at that then. Is there a free/trial version?
-
BrightEdge really does do it, as well as many other things (I sound like a BrightEdge commercial, LOL). It is expensive though and of course, who can say if it finds them all....

Sorry, I am the one that misunderstood your question, read it too fast.
I don't believe there is one single tool that can be used to 'discover' all the keywords any single site ranks for. There are a number of tools you can use collectively that may give a bigger picture.
I dug out an old moz post that might be of interest - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/what-keywords-do-i-rank-for.
Other than that I've not been able to locate a programme in the past that will do what you need on its own.

I understand totally. If you do decide you want a quick report run just let me know. I would just have BrightEdge add the domain and wait for their next crawl (they crawl every weekend) and I can email the report to you the following Monday. No problem at all Happy to help.
-
Cheers Billy! I'll keep looking and see what others can say, and then give you a shout.
Worst comes to worst, I could use something like WebCEO to find the keywords on my site and then SEOmoz' Rank Checker to see the positions, just felt it would be incredibly useful to have an "all in one" solution because sometimes we miss really important keywords, that turn out to be ranking really well. I know Google Analytics can pick that up sometimes, but that's more about intuition than an actual tool.

Michael, in my question I ask for a tool that will find the keywords that my site ranks for. In other words, the tool "reads" the website, determines the keywords, and then crawls the Internet checking their positions. SEOmoz' Rank Checker can do what you're suggesting.. Unless I've misunderstood..
-
I can totally dig that! If there is a tool here that can do it, it is one that I have not utilized. If it comes down to it you can message the URL to me and I can have it put in to BrightEdge (we have some open slots) and see what it can find for you. Let me know if I can help (billy.j@vizergy.com)

You can install rank tracker from here for free: http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/
Pretty simple to use, once installed add your sites domain name and then a few keywords you with to see your site ranking for.

Nothing in the SEOmoz umbrella? Trying not to sign up for yet another SEO application
-
BrightEdge can do that.

Proportion of branded keywords vs targeted keywords in anchor text distribution
Hello, I have a question about the proportion (in %) of branded keywords vs targeted keywords in the anchor text distribution of a website. Suppose if I have a website with 3 targeted keywords and 2 branded keywords in the anchor text distribution that looks like this: 1 main targeted keyword 20% 2 targeted keyword 15 % 3 targeted keyword 15 % 4 branded keyword 10 % 5 branded keyword 5 % 6 more keywords 35% The question is: What would be the best distribution in percentages to aim for the main and other keywords? Should the branded keyword % increase and (main) targeted decrease? Or something else? (I have "Opensite Explorer" and Cognitive SEO" as tools to measure.) Thank you for your answers!

Keyword ranking tool
Hello, What is best practice for knowing if a keyword is too difficult to try to rank for. i understand the keyword difficulty tool in seoMOZ, but am unsure of how it actually relates to if I should attempt to rank for the keyword. Is there a differential people use such as if a site has a Page Authority of 60 we will not try to rank for a keyword that has a keyword difficulty ranking of 40?
