A Tool Showing Me For Which Long Tails My Pages Already Rank - Is Something Like This Out There?

Hi,

I know my thread title is a bit long but I guess you know what
I am talking about.

When our sites have gained a bit more authority they generally
also rank for some long tails.

We can see them in our statistics but only if our pages have
already gained some nice positions.

What if our pages rank for thousands of long tails not in the
first page but in the top 20 or 30. We will never know this.

I am searching for a tool which shows us on which Google page
our internal pages already rank for WITHOUT giving the tool
upfront the long tail keywords. So, basically the tool should be
able to know which long tails are out there and thus should
show us where our internat pages rank for them.

I know that sounds strange but maybe there is something like
this out there :rolleyes:

    SEMrush would be the closest thing to that, but it misses a lot.

    You are not going to find anything that does this effectively. You are talking about a MASSIVE amount of data to store.

    You would have to do it yourself. It's not that hard really. I just fire up Scrapebox. Go to the keyword scraper. Seed it with my primary keywords. I let it run, transfer those to the main list and run it again. I do that about 2-3 times. Then you take all those keywords and feed them into your rank tracker.

    It's about the only way you are going to accomplish what you are looking to do.

    It would be great if something like that existed though.

      How about Google analytics or Statcounter?

      Sure Statcounter only shows keywords that already bring in visitors and analytics of webmasters only keywords that already gained views but it's a good start.

    yea what mike said is basically it, i just did this 24 hours ago, i made a page, then went to keywordresearcher seeded my keyword, rescraped it, google suggested it, put that list through marketsam, only show stuff that gave searches, exported it, put it into rankalier. ran it, wasn't ranked anywhere, started seo, 12hours later i'm on page 2/3/4 for half of the terms, 24hours later i'm almost on all the terms. pages 1/2/3

    you can't use something like statcounter or analytics for this, cuz you're waiting for someone to type in a search and see if they hit you. for instance this site had zero hits heh, except for bots, no real human rather.

      Hi seoed,

      Yes, such a tool does exist, it is based on actual impressions and clicks in Google Search. It is limited to keywords searches with multiple queries for the date range selected. You will find it in Google's Webmaster tools:

        I came to post this...it's an excellent source. You can even view what you're ranking for in search from mobile, video, image, and web. It shows your position up to 1000, and you can download as a CSV or google doc and import that list into whatever program. It also shows you which page(s) of yours are ranking for which keyword/long tail. As an example, I have a website with about 50 pages, and Google webmaster tools shows me ~3500 long tail keywords I am ranking for across image, web, mobile, and video, and I use those for SEO.

    Check out HitTail too. It picks up keywords as people us them to find your site, so it won't tell you how you rank on searches virtually nobody ever actually does, but those aren't usually valuable anyway.

    Hi,

    sorry, I have totally forgotten that I got replies to this thread! Thanks for everyone who contributed so far.

    The scrapebox idea seems to be nice. I will have to do some testing here.

    But what is all this thing with the Google Webmaster Tool about? BravoOne posted
    It shows your position up to 1000
    . What? Do you mean GWT shows me my positions even if no one has clicked on it so far?

    Has anyone tested this?
