How to see traffic for specific keywords in GA
-
Hell guys,
What i want to achieve is to generate a list of specific keywords showing traffic for a certain periode of time. I also want so be able to compare this time period with historical data.
I want a list as shown in: Traffic sources -> sources -> search -> organic.
This shows a list of keywords generating traffic out of the organic search results. When you use a filter you can only use one word so it seems. I just want to create that list but with the specific keywords i choose to display.
I tried advanced reports and advanced segments but that doesn't really give me what i want.
The idea behind this whole thing is that i want to give my client an overview of the traffic received on the words we are optimizing for. this traffic has to be compared to the previous month so they can see clearly if there were changes.
Thx !

Update- the bug appears to have been fixed and I am getting the right results with this segment and when I export it.

I think you are right. Still some things they need to fix in GA. Like date comparison in automated reports. Oh well, one must make shift with what one has.
Thanks a lot for responding!

I think there is some sort of bug with GA because I noticed that when you apply the advanced segment it shows up some other keywords but then if you click on the next page arrow and then click on the previous page arrow it loads only the keywords that I have placed in the advanced segment - strange!
-
Hmmm... no i have another problem. When i generate a report the advanced segements keywords show up at the top but the other keywords that generated traffic are also generated. How i can i exclude those?
-
This is it.. slapping myself now. It really is such an obvious solution. Anyway thanks alot!

Hi Sander - you can achieve what you are looking for using advanced segments on the report you mentioned above. Click advanced segments > +New Custom Segment. Then name your segment something suitable. Select the green box that defaults to Ad Content and type keyword (select this from the list once it appears as it is your dimension). Then on the drop down box that says containing change it to exactly matching, finally enter your first keyword in the last input box. Repeat this process for all your keywords that you want in your custom report and make sure you use the Add 'OR' statement and the dimension option every time. This will produce a report that can be downloaded in pdf containing only the keywords that you have selected. Let me know how you get on...
-
No. Not yet. This because i want to have a nice pdf report. Im curious if this can ben built within analytics and exporting it to a pdf
-
Sander have you thought about downloading the list of keywords into a spreadsheet and manipulating them that way - this should be relatively quick and easy to do?

Weird URL Structure in GA
Hey everyone, Thanks in advance for any insight on this. I've been researching it quite a bit on Google and haven't found anything yet. In Analytics, under our pages report, we're getting a lot of pages that look like this: www.execucar.com/https://www.execucar.com or www.execucar.com/https://www.execucar.com/locations/orlando-car-service Any thoughts on how to fix this? These pages don't exist...I'm at such a loss.

Has GA changed how it calculates bounce rate?
Updated website from Magento backend to Wordpress and since the redeploy, my bounce rate has dropped from 40% to 4%. I did check to see if there was duplicate GA tracking code but only one call. I checked reports under "visitor flow" and one page visits seem inline with the previous bounce rate. Weird. Never experienced this before.
