Find out what keywords a site is ranking for
-
I want to find out what keywords a site is ranking for.
In other words, I want to find out how Google is currently seeing a site.
I've used Google KW tool - not very accurate when you simply type in the URL.
Is there anything in SEOMoz I can use? New to this. thanks

SEMRush is exactly what you are looking for. Just plug in a URL and you will see the top organic keywords as well as PPC keywords any website is currently ranking for, the number of searches each month and the estimated percentage of traffic any particular keyword is responsible for generating. It's very useful to quickly find out the keywords your competitors are targeting and ranking for, as well as on your own site to uncover keywords that you may be ranking 19th for that you weren't even aware of.

Hi Clare
If you are talking about your own site, then Dorothea gives a couple of good ideas.
If you're wondering what competitors might be ranking for, there are a couple of options. Keyword Spy is one of my favourites, as it will find the competitive keywords that your competitors are ranking for, potentially allowing you to uncover some hidden gems. There's also nothing stopping you from running this analysis on your own site.
There's a monthly fee, but there's also a free 30-day trial you can take advantage of. Everyone loves a bit of free!
Hope this helps.

Woorank offers a cool tool that gives you insight on what are the keywords you are ranking for well right now.
In addition to this like Kettler suggested Google webmaster is one of the best tool for this thing.Search queries an area which gives you what is your average position,Impressions and clicks on that keywords.In addition to it you will also know what are your top pages.

Best two things you can do are:
1. Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools and then go to Traffic -> Search Queries. The keywords your site ranks for will appear within a few days after you confirmed your site on GWT.
2. Use a traffic tracking service and check if you get any traffic from search engines.

ETA On the Keyword Research Tool?
I'm trying to do some keyword research on Google UK but it hasn't been working for a couple of days now. I have a client waiting on a proposal that features this research heavily and might lose them if I can't use it soon! Is there any estimated time for the return of the service? Is the keyword tool down for everybody?

Is Rank Tracker still down?
I have been trying to use Rank Tracker but it still appears to be down. The following message is displayed which dates from 5th September and suggests it would take around a week to get it working. "Due to a server failure, we are experiencing a delay in Rank Tracker results this week. Unfortunately, it may take up to a week to get it working properly again. Thanks for your patience and understanding; our engineers are working around the clock to get this issue fixed. - Updated September 5th." It is now 17th September and I am still unable to use it. Just wondering whether this is the same situation for all or whether SEOMoz have an update on when we can expect this to be up and running. Thanks.

Why does site explorer keep crashing?
For around the last 24 hours, every time I run site explorer it gets to just over a quarter of the way through and then just stops. I've tried this with different sites and it makes no difference. Although this is the first time I've had this problem (I don't use the tool regularly myself) one of my colleagues says it often happens to her. Is this a problem SEOmoz can explain and/or fix?

Top ranking with no SEO
I ran an SEOMoz keyword difficulty report for the term "interim CFO services" and found that all of the websites that ranked really well for that term have good page authority and domain authority scores and plenty of incoming links.....except 1. result #5 has a page and domain authority of 1 and no incoming links, however it's ranked #5 in google SERP for this highly competitive term. see screenshots: http://screencast.com/t/NJiOn8N4l http://screencast.com/t/x6tU1RhX4j Is this ranking based solely on the domain name being 100% relevant? Did they just get lucky and hit the google rankings jackpot? If this is the case, by the same logic I am trying achieve high rankings for the keyword "outsourced accounting firm" and purchased the domain name outsourcedaccountingfirm.com and am not even ranked in the top 50 with google for that keyword. (it's very new though) any feedback on either questions above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
