Is there a way to see what keywords users of my site are using to find it online?
-
Since Google Analytics no longer shows the keywords used by people to find a site online, does the SEOMoz toolset provide somethng to show this data?
-
This was written in 2012, is this still the case, if so where does one find this in the sea of analytic data?
-
GA does still provide keywords, so you must be talking about the (not provided) list of keywords, correct?
If this is the case, then No, there isn't an easy way to track this information. But if you want to spend some time you can get a rough idea of keywords based on the landing page they are hitting.
For any page on your site, you can see a complete list of keywords that landed on the page (with percentages). So now you can take these percentages and use them with the Not provided numbers from Google.
For example:
page1.html - 100 landed visits from the keyword "example", which accounted for 10% for that page.
page1.html - 1000 visits from the keyword "(not provided)", so with a little math you can estimate that 10% of the 1000 visits came from the term "example"
**I should note the term used from GA is "Entrances". This is the number you need to use.

In addition to Google Analytics we use a site called luckyorange.com

Joel is correct. Analytics does still allow you to download a report that shows the actual keywords used that led them to your website

Last I checked Analytics still gave insight on keywords.
If you use google analytics it will give you every keyword that a person uses to get to your site. You need to follow the reports. I have the app for my iPhone and iPad. I monitor my site daily. One of the best features is seeing how people get to my site.
Analytics shows me their operating system used
Keywords Used
Unique visitors
location of the search
and a crazy amount of data
Best part it is free.
http://www.google.com/analytics/
Hope this helps.

No, from what I know there is no way to find out as this is given and done by Google.
SEOmoz gathers information from Analytics as well, so that will not help. But Analytics will give you an idea of what is going on.

Unsolved Using Weglot on wordpress (errors)
Good day to you all, Does anyone have experience of the errors being pulled up by Moz about the utility of the weglot plugin on Wordpress? Moz is pulling up URLs such as: https://www.ibizacc.com/es/chapparal-2/?wg-choose-original=false These are classified under "redirect issues" and 99% of the pages are with the ?wg-choose parameter in the URL. Is this having an actual negative impact on my search or is it something more Moz related being highlighted. Any advice be appreciated and a resolution .. Im thinking I could exclude this parameter.

MoZ vs SEMRush - Keyword Difficulty and Keyword With Low Competition.
Hi, My question is very focussed regarding these 2 tools. Is it correct to understand that MoZ tells keyword difficulty and not which keyword is easy to compete. And SEMRush tells which keyword is easy to compete but does not tell which keywords are difficult to compete? I mean one (Moz) misses the one part and the other (SEMRush) misses the other part. Hope some will enlighten me to the point. Best

Add to cart redirect using 302
I am getting a list of crawl errors in Moz because I am using a 302 redirect when people click on an item using the quickview add to cart eg:http://copyfaxes.com/cart/quickadd?partno=4061 will redirect them to the viewshoppingcart page. Is this wrong should this be a 301 redirect? There is no link juice to pass. Thanks

Does SEOmoz have a tool to find mirror sites?
I heard from a company that is trying to get my clients SEO business that they discovered multiple sites mirroring our site's content. Does SEOmoz have a tool to find these websites? Or does Google?

What kind of keyword difficulty should I be aiming for when launching an new site?
I know that words in their 20's or 30's would be ideal, but it's proving hard for me to find relevant keywords with such scores (just a couple with scores in the 30's). Is going for words between 40-50 a waste of time? Thanks.

Use of the tilde in URLs
I just signed up for SEOMoz and sent my site through the first crawl. I use the tilde in my rewritten URLs. This threw my entire site into the Notice section 301 (permanent redirect) since each page redirects to the exact URL with the ~, not the %7e. I find conflicting information on the web - you can use the tilde in more recent coding guidelines where you couldn't in the old. It would be a huge thing to change every page in my site to use an underscore instead of a tilde int he URL. If Google is like SEOMoz and is 301 redirecting every page on the site, then I'll do it, but is it just an SEOMoz thing? I ran my site through Firebug and and all my pages show the 200 response header, not the 301 redirect. Thanks for any help you can provide.
