Number of Visitor Entries to page via search engine
-
Hi,
I wanted to figure out the most optimal way to track the number of visitors that comes to a specific page on my blog via search engine only.
I know Google Analytics has a "top landing page" filter, but that includes all visitors that comes in directly or other channels.
Is there a way to figure out how many visitors a certain page received that was generated through only search engine?
Does SEOmoz have this capability?

You are welcome.
Once you have done that I'd really suggest reading up on advanced segments. They are incredibly useful and, as you have seen, really simple to use. Besides the pre-built ones you can also create your own.

Thanks a ton. This was extremely helpful and so easy. That advanced segments was so small to see, I can't believe i missed it.
Again, thanks for your help!

If you have Google Analytics running on your site then that is the best tool for this particular job.
There are actually a few ways to get the data you want, however my preference is using Advanced Segments - which are simpler than they sound.
When looking at data in Google Analytics, the default view is "all visitors". So, if you are looking at top landing pages then that shows you the top landing pages for all visitors. However you can very easily select only to look at one segment of traffic: In your example this would be organic search traffic.
- To do this first view the landing pages report, as usual.
- Then look for the "advanced segment" drop down towards the top of the page
- Select "non paid search traffic"
- Click apply
You will now see that the data has changed and the overall numbers have dropped. You can now click through the landing pages to see the number of search referrers for each.
If you can't immediately see the one you are looking for try typing it's URI in to the filter box.

How to set goal in Google Analytics that required specific page
So our company has new page that has just implemented (let say "page x" --> not a landing page) and we want to see how many visitors that through "page x " convert into the goal (let say "page y"). If I just make the goal destination like "/page y" the goal number that appear is ALL the visitors who reach "page y" (through or not through "page x"), so how I set the goal setting to only show the visitors who reach "page y" through "page x" ? Thank you

Exact Match in Google Search (Not Adwords)
I was going throught the list of keywords that have sent traffic to my site over the last 7 years and cam across one "A516 grade 70" that had hundreds of variants. Now in a lot of cases search volumes were different as were SERPS. We've tested a few variants with reworked pages (70% similar to original but optimised for variant keyword) and see good SERPS and traffic results. Theres obviously some diminishing returns here for us but the interesting question is when to these variants become an exact match and when not? In some cases the variants are unique because of the spacig, periods and hyphens used. there isn't a clear correlation with exact matc though. Insight appreciated. (Sorry for spelling errors. Form doesn't play nicely with iPad)

Huge Ranking drop without touching the page
I was ranked #5 for the keyword "Become a Sportscaster" - had been in the top 10 for months, then all of a sudden dropped to #46. I haven't touched this page in a few months, so I don't think I messed anything up. Any thoughts on why such a dramatic drop would happen? Brian Clapp Founder, SportsTVJobs.com

Is 10 Keyword Targets for Page Rank too many?
My client has selected 10 keywords that they want to rank on the first page of Google for. Is 10 keywords too many to try and rank for? I have heard that you should focus on top 5 keywords instead.
