    How do I find out what keywords people searched (in search engines) to get to my site? Is there any tool for this?

    Use a web log analyzer/analytics application

    Most hosting providers offer them free (webalizer, AW Stats etc..)

    I'm using a blogger blog so I don't think they provide one. what else can I use? I'm trying to determine the top keywords that people are finding my site with.

    Well if you have no access to the logs or the ability to modify the site (insert code for tracking ) it's next to impossible.

    Do you have some access to insert a tag style analytics app?

    get your own hosting and merge your blogger blog there. that way you can have access to logs.

    my personal preference is

    www.statcounter.com

    Works a lot better than the tracking service that comes with my hosting, and I like it a lot more than Google Analytics. Tells me what keywords people used to find my site and what search engine.

    it gives a lot of detail, says which anchor text was in the incoming links, and it's free.

    access logs are the best anyways.........get a free log anylazer and you will have all the details with you.

    You could use Google Analytics. All you need to do is put some Javascript on your blog template...
