Is this your site, or a competitor's site?

You can do a bit more if it's your own site and you have access to analytics, though Google is not allowing the vast majority of keywords through to any analytics reports anymore.

If it's your site head over to Webmaster Tools.  The query data will tell you where your clicks are coming from.

If it's a competitor I've found SpyFu to be the best tool for that one.  Not perfect, but decent.

And what kind of posts are you talking about?  Post on their site?  Guest blogs?

Hi Morgret , No it's not my site it's my Friends . I do have access to analytics . But when i tried to export the complete keywords i had no option of checking all of the keywords marked ..Only 10-12 of them were marketable .

Thanks

Hi BeanstalkSEO , Thanks for the response..  No not competitor but Thanks for sugg of SpyFu.. it may help some..

And about the posts all of them guest posts , All the posts Published in that site..

If they're all in a folder (like /blog/ or /articles/) then I'd just go with a site: query (ex - site:competitorsite.com/blog/ which will give youa  list of all the pages in that folder Google knows about.  If they have tags etc. you can also remove those qwiht a negative (i.e. site:examplesite.com/blog/ -site:examplesite.com/blog/tags/).

You can also look for common text just on the posts ("written by" for example) and query:

"written by" site:examplesite.com

Cheers !

Hi

I am assuming you mean organic traffic. Paid is a lot easier.

GA this week has re added a SEO report. This tells you the top 1000 keywords driving traffic, but these numbers to me seem to be aggregated.

if you have the cash or access try Hitwise. Very good data and very useful for giving competitor traffic too.

You can also use search metrics that is pretty good software for keywords and rankings.

as mentioned webmaster tools will give you this info so there are quite a few places to get this info. Just depends what you want it for and how detailed.

The reason you can't see individual referring keywords from which a site is getting traffic anymore is because of Google's policy on not showing the vast majority of these in Analytics. Instead, you see "not provided" listed alongside a lot of organic traffic figures. More about "not provided" here.

Others' answers about using Webmaster Tools, etc. are our best way of analysing the keywords used in organic traffic nowadays.
