Which tool will achieve this...
-
I need to look at another sites traffic and figure out where they are getting it... Is this possible? Which tool would accomplish this ?
-
Hello Joseph,
I am pretty sad to inform you that is simply not possible for some really simple reasons... will you allow your traffic and sources to be seen by your competitors? I don’t think so! Actually it’s a private data that Google does not share!
There are other tools like Compete, Alexa or Quantcast but to be honest they are good to check expected traffic as a general idea but never think that the numbers that are popping up over there are real numbers!
Its always great to see data on compete for your own website and then compare it with your Google Analytics to see the accuracy of the data!
Hope this helps!

Yup, checkout compete and/or quantcast, neither will give you entirely accurate results (especially for smaller sites), but will give you a pretty good idea.

i would recommend compete. You can review the features here http://www.compete.com/us/pro/features/
You should also review this post http://www.seomoz.org/blog/monitor-competitor-traffic

What will you do when seeing the rank and traffic are dropping?
No black-hat SEO strategy was adopted, so we suppose it's not a penalty, but ranks and organic traffics are dropping. What will you do in this situation? And how long it takes for you to make sure it's not a normal flux, but something wrong happens on your site? Thanks in advance

'Search Queries Report' in Webmaster Tools Question
Hi, How much do you use the search queries report in webmaster tools to research current rankings/movements? It does look like a great tool but the data doesn't seem to be spot on. For example a keyword over a week might have flux in position so lets say 6.0 then 9.2 for 3 days then back to 6.0. But I check the serp's for this keyword everyday and didn't see any movement?!?! Is this a good tool for you?

Interpreting Keyword Difficulty Tool results
I have been running various reports using the Keyword Difficulty tool. The columns are color coded - are there one set of signals that are more important than others? I am trying to analylze why we are ranking where we are and where our competitors are weak enough to overcome in a short term. I cannot seem to find a formula for the top indicatators for moving up in ranking. One of my sites in ranking number 5 but is neck and neck with the number one site for results. The other site is number 6 for the same term but has virtually no strength in the data like links, mozrank, trust, Social, etc...The sites 7-10 are much stronger on data. Maybe since they are from the same C block that helps? Any advice or experience would be helpful.

Why is Webmaster Tools not Linking Correctly Google Analytics?
I have a global site with .com as the US site and then /country for all other markets i.e. .com/uk .com/de etc. Each site has it's own WMT profile. Each site has it's own GA profile. Since Google added Search Engine Optimization to the GA interface, I can't track these sites separately under this new feature. It seems to me that it can only be associated with a single WMT profile at a time or rather that WMT can only be associated with a single GA profile at a time. The numbers for the UK and US site are identical, but when I try and link the UK WMT account with GA it removes it from the US profile and vice versa.
