How Is the Competition Getting Found in Google?

mrniceguy123 · 02-03-2011, 04:23 PM

I know that I can install Google Analytics for my own site, to help find out what search terms people are entering to find my site, but how can I find out the search terms people are entering-in at Google to get to my competition's websites?

I'm helping my Mother put together a website for her local, service-based business. I analyzed the Keyword tag in her competition's websites, and most of them have a ton of keywords.

Is there a way I can find out what the majority of the competition's visitors are entering in on Google to find them?

Paste the competition url into Google keyword tool.

You can also scrape long-tail keywords from the competition page with SeoQuake plugin for Firefox.

Look at their title tags on their pages? Go to Yahoo site explorer, look at their inbound links, see what they are using for anchor text?
