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!

E-commerce data import Google Analytics
Hi there, Since a few weeks we have started a cooperation with a big online wholesale company which now sells our products. I want to import simple E-commerce data: amount of transactions and revenue. More detailed data such as amount of products, name of products, etc. is not necessary in the first place. Now I discovered the 'data import' functionality in Google Analytics but I can't find any suitable option for E-commerce data import. The data from the wholesale company is gathered in a nice export in a separate system, so there should be a way ti import this data into Analytics. Could anybody help me with this? Any advice is welcome! Thanks in advance.

Google Analytics shows wrong traffic source
I was reviewing out traffic sources on GA for this past week's traffic history, and noticed a couple of visits & conversions that GA cited as coming from campaigns from emails that were sent out in 2012 and early 2013. it seems odd that we would have traffic & conversions from these older campaigns - on a regular basis. it's not even from one campaign, but from multiple campaigns. is it possible that it is a cookie issue? - i wonder if these visits were really from the email campaigns - or if they were from organic searches or other sources. Thoughts? Thanks!

Why does Google Analytics think PPC traffic is organic?
I have a bastard of a problem... Google Analytics is incorrectly tracking PPC traffic as SEO which is screwing up all my reporting . I don't care for rankings, I care for actual SEO traffic and I can't be sure that what i am seeing is correct which is driving me nuts. Any ideas?

Seeing / and no / in Google Analytics
When I look at my Google Analytics code, I see that the same content will show up twice, once with a / at the end of the URL, and once without. My site is at http://www.skypeenglishclasses.com. Does anyone know why this would happen? Is it duplicate content?
