Someone mentioned us on facebook and brought 10k clicks to homepage.. how do I find the content?
-
So this morning our website started to go crazy with hits all coming from Facebook, and I am trying to figure out how I can see who was talking about us? All the traffic landed on one page specifically. When I look in analytics it just shows social, and then I can drill down to see they are coming from facebook, but that's it.

This will work if you have a unique title. However, Facebook will always show text from your friends posts first.
Don't forget to check your brand page mentions in the wall as someone might have tagged you. (If you have a brand page...)
You also might check somewhere like Reddit to see if people are sharing it there and if they mention where they found it.

Sadly, this is correct that Facebook doesn't pass anymore referral data.
This will get you posts that are public. YMMV on how many it returns since Facebook and Google don't play well together.

Maybe try a search internal to Facebook. Type your company name. Facebook will autosuggest options. Skip the one that probably represents your own facebook page, assuming you have one, and click on "company name" (probably the last option shown on the drop-down list).

In analytics you can't - referrer will always be just facebook.com
If it's a private profile in facebook which posted the link, you will probably never now.If it's a public one - you could try searching indexed pages of facebook in google like: "title of your landingpage" site:facebook.com or "url-of-your-site" site:facebook.com - but I doubt it will work

Try adding a secondary dimension for referral path in GA.

Try using Fresh Web Explorer!

How to interpret search "clicks" in GA?
I am trying to make some sense of the data in the "Landing Pages" report under "Search Engine Optimization" in GA versus the data under the "Landing Pages" report in "Behavior | Site Content". For example, the SEO report says my page http://www.asiantraveltips.com/blog/bangkok-skytrain-bts-mrt-lines/ received 22,000 search impressions in the past 30 days and 900 "clicks" (12.42%). What are these "clicks" when the Content "Landing Pages" report says the same page only got 382 "sessions" in the same period??? What are these "clicks" if not clicks on the search results link that should be reflected in landing page sessions on the corresponding page?

Click to call tracking
I'm looking to add a click to call button, when a user lands on our quote page from a mobile phone. I'm wondering the best way of goal tracking? Our current method of tracking uses Events. I was wondering if this was a sensible way forward for this. The dev team are suggesting it may be a problem as it refreshes the page... I'm not a dev, so I don't fully understand it all! Thanks, Amelia

Will the analytics offer me the same content review power as Hootsuite or Twitonomy?
Will the analytics offer me the same content review power as Hootsuite or Twitonomy? I need to know if I should get one of these tools in addition to this. I need information weekly about retweets, mentions, most popular content, reach, etc.,? I would like to be able to do this all from one place- here in Moz.

Google Analytics Content Experiments don't deliver 50/50?
Our A/B test is actually delivering at about a 70/30 page view rate. 70% in favor of the original version and only 30% of the new. We are sending 100% of our traffic to this homepage test. Has anyone else experienced this? There seems to be a lot of folks experiencing this.....anyone know why?

How do I find backlinks and/or SERPs for a subdomain
I realize this is probably a very basic question but if I want to find backlinks to a sub-domain of my site, how would I do that? Also, if I wanted to see what search terms were bringing traffic to one specific page of my site, how would I do that?

Setting up Analytics on a Site that Uses Frames For Some Content
I work with a real estate agent and he uses strings from another tool to populate the listings on his site. In an attempt to be able to track traffic to both the framed pages and the non-framed pages he has two sets of analytics code on his site - one inside the frame and one for the regular part of the site. (there's also a third that the company who hosts his site and provides all these other tools put on his site - but I don't think that's really important to this conversation). Not only is it confusing looking at the analytics data, his bounce rate is down right unmanageable. As soon as anyone clicks on any of the listings they've bounced away. Here's a page - all of those listings below " Here are the most recent Toronto Beaches Real Estate Listings" are part of a frame. http://eastendtorontohomes.com/toronto-beach-real-estate-search/ I'm not really sure what to do about it or how to deal with it? Anyone out there got any good advice? And just in case you're wondering there aren't any other options - apart from spending thousands to build his own database thingie. We've thought about that (as other agents in the city have done that), but just aren't sure it's worth it. And, quite frankly he doesn't want to spend the money.
