You mean how to find keywords, with which your competitor is ranking on? No doubt -semrush is the best competitor research tool, check out here: semrush
Hi ya thanks for this. indeed it is an interesting tool; however, in an ideal world i am looking for some ting that gives me a list of keywords/phrases a particular site is ranking on ... trying to eliminate the guesswork factor while doing keyword analysis for a competition site. thanks in advance for your thoughts
I use SEMRush. It's always worked well for me. The results aren't 100% accurate but they're still better than just looking and guessing.
For this particular task, I would recommend SEM Rush or Keyword Spy. The great thing about tools like this is that they can analyze both paid and organize rankings. This allows you to learn a lot about their overall strategy. If the competitor is well established, they may have already done comprehensive testing to find the best keywords. So there is no point in reinventing the wheel.
For this particular kind of task to search the competitive keyword SEM rush is a useful tool .It about to give nearly 99% accurate result but not exactly .I am in search of new and advance tool which can give 100% accurate result.
You can use Traffic Travis to find out what keywords your competition is ranking on. You can also check how many backlinks they have and where. The free Traffic Travis 4 version was release recently, so you may want to download a copy. Hope that helps. Have a good day!

Awesome post vansterdam! I can only add spyfu to mentioned semrush and keyword spy tools, as an another alternative.
Does anyone use Alexa? You can use Alexa to see which competitors' keywords are get lost traffic - also mean their strong keywords
Spyfu and SEMRush are excellent paid options, both for features and price. SEMRush has better data but it seems that Spyfu has invested a lot into streamlining the user interface. Google Insights for Search can sometimes be useful as well.
