    Marko, do you mean ranking organically via SEO?

    If that's the case, then search for the keywords you wish to rank for and visit the top 10 websites.

    When you're on the website, right-click on your mouse and select 'View Source' or something along those lines. Then look at the line which says: <meta name="keywords" content="...

    Everything listed after that would be the keywords your competitors are targeting.

    Hope that helps!

      1. SEOmoz Term Extractor

      To use this tool, you will need to register for a free account at SEOmoz. You will then have access to this tool as well as a variety of their other free SEO tools.Once you're logged in, head over to the SEO Tools section and choose the Term Extractor. Enter the URL of your competitor to receive one word, two work, and three word phrases the website is targeting as well as the HTML elements those terms are found in on the website.Needless to say, the bottom area is a good way to learn some on-site optimization tips as well!

      2. SEMRush

      SEMRush allows you to enter a domain and view ten of the top keywords that the website ranks for organically, showing the keyword, position in search results, traffic percentage, and other useful information, especially if you are going to use CPC for your website.

    Hi Marko,

    You could be asking more than you realise. But take a look at spyfu.com. That should start you on your espionage.

    You can use the Adwords tool:tools & analysis:keyword tool.
    Enter the website url and hit search.
    The terms Google associates with the page will be returned, some of which should match those the competitor is targeting.
    I would then copy these to a text file and use Rank Checker (firefox add-on) to see which they rank for.

    Edit: don't forget to check the meta kw and description first.
