How can I capture search terms and forward it along with my contact form?
-
I would like to be able to capture the keywords when someone comes to my site with a PPC click or a keyword search. I can't imagine that this is an uncommon request, but I can't find the tools that would let me do that, or heck something that will help me build it myself.
What is everyone using to capture search information from people who contact you?
-
Here's some PHP code to accomplish this:
-
I've always had the luxury of assigning implementation of keyword capture to programmers, and they've always been able to implement the functionality by pulling that referrer string, parsing it out, and placing it into a hidden form field. If anyone knows of a plug-in I'd like to test it, but a developer should be able to do this for you pretty quickly.

I will definitely take a look.
We got an email the other day from http://infusionextreme.com/infusion-tracker/
It looked like it did everything we wanted, but to use it requires a subscription to infusionsoft which is $200 a month...needless to say we moved on.

I can't give you anything definite, but I do the fuzzy seo wordpress plugin on one of our sites, and that pulls the keywords out of the referrer for use on the site. You can find it here:
I'm not a coder by any means but it looks like the guts of the program is in the .inc file once you've installed the plugin.
Wish I could help more but it's all I've got.
EDIT: If anyone is using wordpress it's quite a nice plugin definitely worth taking a look at.

I am not aware of a tool that will email or send you the keyword or phrase that was used to find your site when they send a message to you via the contact form but Google Analytics (or any decent analytics package) should provide you with the terms used to locate your site and specific pages.

Hi All, For my ecommerce site for mobile site category page I have redesign the page in 2 different ways so one original page and 2 new designs. Now I want to do A/B testing with google experiment. I want to measure performance of page via pageviews, bounce rate, exit rate, conversion rate, add to basket etc. Now in objective for this experiment I can select anyone thing either Pageviews, or bounces or transaction or goal. So my query is 1) I cannot select all objective together? 2) or for same page I have to create too many experiments by selecting each objective? 3) exit rate or add to basket objective is not in experiment list so? Thanks!

Nofollow page is being reported as a landing page for organic search in Google Analytics
One of my client's websites includes a series of pages for an enrollment process. All of these pages are blocked by robots.txt. In Google Analytics these pages are showing data as landing pages for organic search traffic, and have been for quite some time. There was recently a surge of organic search traffic landing on one of these pages, coming from multiple search engines. The pages appear to be blocked and I'm not finding any of them in the search results for the keywords that are being reported in GA or by searching for the url. Does anyone have any insights into why this might be happening?

Analytics, Traffic and Rankings. Something is wrong, can you answer it? ;-)
So I've been monitoring analytics to see where our clients are ranking for terms that have brought visitors to the site over the last month to find that the website isnt ranking in the top 100 for that keyword. What are your thoughts on this? Why do you think this could happen? One of the keywords has brough over 700 visitors in the last month yet is not in the top 100 for this term. I've also looked Google Webmaster Tools and have found that the exact same term hasn't had 700 impressions let alone 700 click throughs! Weird! Cheers, Sean
