Long tail analytics
-
I've been playing with google advanced segments, but can't work out how to do this:
Show all the keywords and traffic that send between x and x number of keyword searches per month. I'd like to have 3 different segments to show short, long and midtail keywords.
Can anyone help?

Thanks Martin,
I was able to do so by using filters, and it was easy.
Had hoped for some more advanced options in analytics though.
Best

Hi Anders,
The problem in this case is that my example was related to filters while you tried to apply it with Advanced Segments. With creating advanced segments like you tried you'll 'ask' Google Analytics to only show keyword which were visited more than X times by thesame visitor. While filtering on the other hand filters the data for all visitors.
If you apply the same methodology by using the filters in your keyword reports you are able to filter the data. Hopefully this will help you any further.
Happy holidays!

Thanks for the description on how to set it up.
Now I just did it, and set up three advanced segments:
Fat Head: Visits > 100
Chunky Middle: > 10 AND < 100
Long tail: <10
And those segments are available for me know.
However, I cannot see how I apply those advanced segments into my data analysis. From the keyword metrics I can see that I have 12 keywords that attracts more than 100 keywords per month.
But when I enable those segments, I get a result of 0 for each, although I should have roughly 3500 visitors a month from those 12 keywords that attracts more than 100 people each.
Kind regards
Anders

Thanks so much Martin, this is a much easier way.

Hi Peter,
I think you're making this a bit to complicated, because this could also be done, more easily in my opinion, by applying a filter to your reports with Search Traffic and gives you even fast results. You could easily do this by applying the number of visits a keywords has got like you can see here in this example.
You also thought about analyzing your long-tail another way by taking the length of the search term? Avinash Kaushik wrote a great article about this last year, which could be found in the third part of this post.
Happy analyzing!

Does Google need Analytics installed to create metrics?
Hi Mozers, Does Google know time on site, number of page visits, bounce rate, etc. even if Google Analytics is NOT installed? Does it measure all that stuff anyway, and if you install the GA code on your site, that is so that YOU can see those metrics? OR can Google only see those metrics if you install GA on your site? Thanks! Jane

Whats (Other) traffic in Google Analytics?
When I look through all our clients, a few are receiving the majority of their traffic from (other). [ Acquisition > Channels > (Other) ]. The only option in (other) is "website" or "offline", whatever that may be. And even weirder, the avg session duration is 0:00. Any idea what this may be?

I want to do a custom alerts for when goal completions decrease or increase by a certain % e.g. 20% as shown in the third example from this Moz Article back in 2012 - http://moz.com/blog/7-essential-google-intelligence-custom-alerts-that-keep-me-sane However when i go into my GA account the only options seem to be for when the goal completion conversion rate % drops. I could use this, but i rather do just based on completions rather than %. Any ideas on how i can do this? Thanks.

Whats 'Other' in Google Analytics (in Acquisition)
When i look in GA under Channels (under Acquisition) 'other' is listed What is 'other' ? I have been told its other unidentified channels as they did not allow 3rd party cookies or surfers were in anonymous/private mode. Other is usually organic traffic that couldn't be identified for the aformentioned reasons. This data is encrypted and available but it violates Google guidelines as they are not allowed to pass personal info//data to third parties so it is automatically filtered. But they are not 'Not Provided' (since that still shows under organic) but is usually/mainly some form of organic visits. Hence Seo can take credit for much of that traffic, is this correct ? Many Thanks

Can you filter referring keywords in Google Analytics by language?
Hi All! So yes, I know that you can see/filter the language that the computer or browser was set to (en-us, ru, fr, etc.), but if you look at the keywords used by visitors falling under "fr", some are in English. Is there any way to get, say, just the keywords in Russian - regardless of what the visitor's browser language was set to? Thanks! Aviva
