How can I capture search terms and forward it along with my contact form?

[ciinc]

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.
