The straight answer to this is NO! You cannot look in to analytics data and see who are visiting these pages and where are they coming from but yes you can always look in to their back link profile and see which websites are linking to those pages and guess accordingly.
Just a thought!

iStorm & David have nailed the answer, you should use a combination of semrush & similarweb. I also use moz to review backlinks - as many will be referrals.
So you have three to cross check. Similarweb gives you the "easy answer" however it should then be cross referenced with moz and semrush - to get a stronger understanding.
Leaving aside referrals similarweb - also has a display advertising function, which offers guidance.
-
Try semrush that will give you an idea of how much paid vs organic traffic they have
-
There are other tools out there that will give you some insights into competitor traffic as well.
SimilarWeb (www.similarweb.com) is a great one that will break down an estimate of traffic sources for a domain. They have quite a good supply of data, and I have found their estimates to be pretty accurate.

You cannot see there Analytical data but you can get a idea of their referral traffic from open site explorer and their organic keywords / landing pages by including them in your keyword research.

How do you find synonyms for a word in Google?
Hi, How would you go about finding a connection between words in the eyes of Google? So for example if I enter ~shoes -shoes I get a few things turn up in bold. Boots is one which makes sense and I would assume Google makes a connection between the words so using both in content would help semantically. BUT the other word it bolds is Store - this is where I get lost why would it make this connection unless Google is taking actual query data from users and making a different type of connection between words. How do you find a solid connection between words?

How to Find problem domain history
Hi I have what most of you may think is a dumb question but here goes. please be nice... 🙂 So I have a client (http://www,ace-alarms.co.uk) who are having a real problem ranking for ANY of their key words. I know it's a reasonably competitive area but I've not seen such a stubborn domain and it seems that no matter what we do there's nothing listed. i'm thinking that there may be a problem with the domain name. My question is; how can I find out if this is a problem domain. Thanks in advance Steve

What are the SEO ramifications to forwarding your website to Facebook?
I have a client who wants to forward their website traffic to a campaign on Facebook for two week. I think it's a horrible idea on so many levels, but need a solid reason why. My gut says that their Google rankings will suffer, but I can't find any research/articles that state such. Help?
