: Is there a way to guess the keyword traffic for a specific URL using just search engines and page source? For example, is it possible to guess which keyword searches are driving people to

@Alves908

If you own website:

Just go to Google webmaster >> Search Analytics >> Mark on position, Clicks and impression, and you will get all the data in your hand.

To test on other website:

If you want to test on other website, then first of, there is no any software, that track all the keywords/quires on particular webpage, yes tools like semrush, wordtracker and longtail pro help in someway, but that can't track all the keywords that drive traffic to specific webpage, they are PPC spy tool, and using third party API like Google adwords.

Google never gives that type of information though API, because they don't want, war of keyword on internet.

Is there a way to guess the keyword traffic for a specific URL using just search engines and page source?


No, a search engine needs you to tell it the search terms and it gives you content as results - but I believe you want to be told what keywords/search terms (that you have been unable to guess yourself) generate traffic to this URL.
You need a service which has essentially reverse engineered the search process.
SEM Rush provides this service, here is the result for the URL you are interested in

Table: TOP ORGANIC RESULTS

Keyword Pos. Volume CPC (USD)
install postgresql ubuntu 2 480 0.00
ubuntu install postgres 2 320 0.00
ubuntu postgresql 2 320 0.00
install postgres ubuntu 2 260 0.00
postgresql ubuntu 2 210 0.00


So the top result is install postgresql ubuntu, this doesn't tell you that 480 searchers typed install postgresql ubuntu into google and then clicked into your URL, instead it tells you


for the US version of Google
480 searchers queried install postgresql ubuntu into US google
your URL was positioned 2 in the first page of results
you can then infer a guess at the clickthroughs - e.g. say position 2 google results have an average clickthrough of 10%
So you can estimate that if you had a URL (landing page) that ranked in the same position for the same keyword you might get 48 visitors per month from google.


Assuming I understood your question correctly this will give you what you want, a list of high traffic keywords this page is ranking for.
