Tool Request - What keywords does a site rank for?

[ChristopherM]

Michael, in my question I ask for a tool that will find the keywords that my site ranks for. In other words, the tool "reads" the website, determines the keywords, and then crawls the Internet checking their positions. SEOmoz' Rank Checker can do what you're suggesting.. Unless I've misunderstood..

Cheers Billy! I'll keep looking and see what others can say, and then give you a shout.

Worst comes to worst, I could use something like WebCEO to find the keywords on my site and then SEOmoz' Rank Checker to see the positions, just felt it would be incredibly useful to have an "all in one" solution because sometimes we miss really important keywords, that turn out to be ranking really well. I know Google Analytics can pick that up sometimes, but that's more about intuition than an actual tool.

I understand totally.  If you do decide you want a quick report run just let me know.  I would just have BrightEdge add the domain and wait for their next crawl (they crawl every weekend) and I can email the report to you the following Monday.  No problem at all  Happy to help.

Sorry, I am the one that misunderstood your question, read it too fast.

I don't believe there is one single tool that can be used to 'discover' all the keywords any single site ranks for. There are a number of tools you can use collectively that may give a bigger picture.

I dug out an old moz post that might be of interest - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/what-keywords-do-i-rank-for.

Other than that I've not been able to locate a programme in the past that will do what you need on its own.

BrightEdge really does do it, as well as many other things (I sound like a BrightEdge commercial, LOL).  It is expensive though  and of course, who can say if it finds them all....

Thanks Billy, i'll be taking a look at that then. Is there a free/trial version?

[Vizergy]

There could be, I am not sure.  The company I work for did some sort of a trial so I could play with it for a few months and give my COO feed back before they entered in to a contract but I don't know if the trial was free or just at a lowered rate.  We use it in an agency setting so we have many slots we can move clients in and out of - if you are just getting it for one website it is probably much more affordable.

SEMRush.com is exactly the tool you are looking for. One of my favorites.

[Vizergy]

I think we will all be taking a look at that one - thank you!

[ChristopherM]

SEMRush is a fantastic piece of software and I completely forgot about it. I was really hoping SEOmoz would have a tool, but it seems not. Thank you Streamline Metrics

Ah, you know what the problem with SEMRush is, they don't cater for Traffic in South Africa, which is where I am based
