Default Google Analytics as a SEO tool

Yes, it can be.. I am trying to dig more on this now.. here is what I have found so far.. thru search and reading other blogs..

On the Traffic Sources tab, select non paid traffic, and figure out your keywords, which are sending you more traffic .. you have a great list of keywords from your own website, to work on.

I have got a great amount of Keywords and related statistics now.. should work more on that.. any suggestions on keyword enhancement ?

Eh, no, it sucks for this. Why? It only tells you the keywords you are really doing well on but doesn't really tell you what keywords you should try focusing on.

BTW, Awstats provided by HIC will also give you a large list of keyphrases you can focus on. Just click the more link at the bottom to get the full listing.

Look for keywords, and see where you can improve, hmm and yes, check for those with less bounce rate which can bring you more loyal readers.. subscribers etc..

From personal experience, it is better to subscribe to keyword research tools for a better list of keywords you are completely missing.

GA is not the best SEO tool in the world.

Yes you can use it to strengthen your weak spots by finding the bounce rate, exit pages, landing pages but there are far much more tools out there, even Google has a page for hot search terms which can help you narrow down the key words but it all really depends on who you are targeting.

yea, there must have been alot of time spent on this, as finding the correct keyword and not paying a million bucks for it would be great.
