Examining Competition's Keywords when Source is unavailable?

dminorfmajor · 01-25-2012, 01:07 PM

I'm pretty sure there's a way to do this but I can't figure it out. I need to find out what keywords a site is trying to rank for but when you rightclick>view page source, they're not listed like most sites have.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Some sites use some simple javascript to disable right clicking to view the HTML source.

Just use the view source option from your browser menu (location varies depending on which browser you are using).

Note that looking at the HTML source won't necessarily tell you what keywords they are trying to rank for.

I can view the page source. An example is this:

Does this mean they're not using any keywords? Or are they hidden?

meta keywords are ignored by Google and given very little importance by other search engines.

It's not always easy to determine all the keywords a particular site is ranking for, although it should be pretty obvious what the main keywords are.

Try Alexa, it tells you data but I do not think it is very accurate data... could give you an idea of the words they are gaining traffic from however.
