How can I capture search terms and forward it along with my contact form?
-
I would like to be able to capture the keywords when someone comes to my site with a PPC click or a keyword search. I can't imagine that this is an uncommon request, but I can't find the tools that would let me do that, or heck something that will help me build it myself.
What is everyone using to capture search information from people who contact you?
-
Here's some PHP code to accomplish this:
-
I've always had the luxury of assigning implementation of keyword capture to programmers, and they've always been able to implement the functionality by pulling that referrer string, parsing it out, and placing it into a hidden form field. If anyone knows of a plug-in I'd like to test it, but a developer should be able to do this for you pretty quickly.

I will definitely take a look.
We got an email the other day from http://infusionextreme.com/infusion-tracker/
It looked like it did everything we wanted, but to use it requires a subscription to infusionsoft which is $200 a month...needless to say we moved on.

I can't give you anything definite, but I do the fuzzy seo wordpress plugin on one of our sites, and that pulls the keywords out of the referrer for use on the site. You can find it here:
I'm not a coder by any means but it looks like the guts of the program is in the .inc file once you've installed the plugin.
Wish I could help more but it's all I've got.
EDIT: If anyone is using wordpress it's quite a nice plugin definitely worth taking a look at.

I am not aware of a tool that will email or send you the keyword or phrase that was used to find your site when they send a message to you via the contact form but Google Analytics (or any decent analytics package) should provide you with the terms used to locate your site and specific pages.

How can you tell if your new content has been indexed?
Other than simply doing a search in each case, is there any way I can tell (in Webmaster Tools, for example) if the 500-1000 new pages of content I have added have been indexed and are now appearing in search results? My traffic hasn't risen much, but I know at least a few of them are in there... How can I tell when they're all in?

Does Google Analytics parse visits from search apps?
Does anyone know if Google Analytics reports visits to your website differently from individual search apps like Google and Bing? Or do they just treat them the same as any other keyword visit from Google or Bing search engine? I suppose the end result is probably the same as in the Google app you're using Google so it would just be a different access point versus a new tool. I'm just curious if there is a way to see how many Mobile visits are coming from the apps vs the browser. For me personally I have the Google and Bing iOS apps installed but rarely use them, opting for the Safari search bar 99% of the time.
