Storing & Analyzing Site Search Phrases
-
We are adding a JQuery smart search to our site that provides product suggestions as our visitors type.
I can create a simple script to store precisely what the visitors are searching for and how they type it. However...
- I am not sure how to best analyze the data for use. Simply storing the data does not tell me how many times a particular phrase was used.
- I believe a smart suggestion search tool will skew my results, as it will suggest what I list my product names as in my database rather than what they call it.
I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I found a great JQuery script for the suggestion search, but is there anything out there for storing and analyzing the user search input?

Precisely what I was hoping for! I did some searching myself and didn't realize GA would tie in with the site search. Fantastic! Thanks so much.

Hi,
Yes, Google Analytics. You can setup site search in Google analytics and connect it with your site search filed and you can then gather the data, filter and work with that data, how did they land to that page, using what keyword and using your site search where do they went, for how long etc - the feedback is very complex and incredible valuable.
Cheers !

"&" in search for site:domain.com
Hi, a few days ago we talked to a seo agency. They told us something about the "site:" search, that we hadn't heard before.

As they told us, a search for "site:domain.com/&" would give you the number of relevant pages that Google indexed for your domain. We tested this search with some domains. Lots of the results showed up to 25% less indexed pages, than the search for site:domain.com/ Has anyone heard of this before, or is it just a sales gimmick?0 -

Backlinks from complaints site?
Our brands deal quite a lot with a complaints site that the public may post a complaint and then our clients respond - if the response is the answer the complainer was looking for, they can convert the complaint into a compliment however this is 80% not the case. Hence would including a link back to the clients site from a complaints website have any negative effect or can we turn a negative into a marketing opportunity?
