How to find which keywords bring traffic to a particular page on my website ?
-
I have been using Google Analytics and SEOMoz tools for a while now. I know which are my top landing pages and some of the keywords which bring me traffic. But I don't know which are the top searched keywords for my website as these are "not provided" by Google Analytics.
More importantly, I want to know which keywords are directing traffic to a particular page on my website. Can anyone help ?

You can also link your webmaster and analytics accounts together. Hopefully they'll make all the data visible in analytics in an easy to use manner.

Hi Eric
I agree with Moosa the days of simply using Google Analytics to see a good picture of keywords is gone.
Have you looked at your Google Webmaster Tool?
In Webmaster tool goto 'Traffic' > 'Search Queries'. Here you will find useful information in terms of search terms, clicks, click through rate and average positions.
Here it is recommended you review the query list for expected keywords. Also compare impressions and CTR to identify how you can improve your content.
On the left hand side of this Webmaster Tool page click 'Search Queries' for more detailed info.
Hope you find it useful

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Any other tool which might be useful ? I am ready to start using some other service for Keyword Research and analysis.

It has been a while that Google stops providing keyword DATA to webmasters so if you want to know the exact terms which drives traffic to the website and provide you conversions then forget about it Google is no more going to provide the data and by the time this %age of “not provided” is going to increase instead of decreasing.
But you can still have a bit of an idea of what keywords people might be coming from by looking in to top visited URLs and then compare it with the keywords that you are targeting on those pages. Check the ranking of the keywords in Google and you will have an idea of which keywords are working for you and which aren’t!
Hope this helps!
