      Hi Guys

      I have been working on a site and I'm doing better but I just want to ensure I am covering all the bases.  I have a list of competitors and I want to see if I can find out what keywords they are ranking for so I can research and see if there is any merit in me trying to rank for those keywords also?

      Is there any software or processes that any of you can recommend?

      Thanks

        A great tool I use is SEMrush: http://www.semrush.com

        You enter a website and it will provide you a thorough list of keywords the site ranks for along with their position in SERPs along with other details.

        Here is a screenshot of the SEMrush results for SEOmoz. I was surprised to see SEOmoz rank for "slickdeals" but it seems in 2005 Rand wrote a few words on that topic so it is a legitimate result.

            I agree that this would be a great addition to SEOMoz.

            Incidentally opened a threat dealing with the same question with some interesting insights:
