Image Search Keyword Tracking With Google Analytics
-
Does anyone know how to track keywords for your images in Google, Yahoo, Bing (/imgres)?
-
Melia,
addOrganic is unnecessary. It is still falling under the 'organic' medium. With the filter I described above, we're ONLY letting in Google Images traffic. It will still have source = google, medium = organic, and term = {whatever keyword}.
For Google Maps and Places, you COULD just update the URL that you submit to Google Places with utm tracking parameters so that you don't even need filters. For instance, the URL that you've verified in Places would be:
http://www.example.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=google_places
-
Also, can you tell me what custom filter you use for google images, maps & places? That would help alot!
-
Am i able to change the referral for images.google.com & google.com/imgres to organic?
example:
pageTracker._addOrganic(“images.google.com”,”q”);
If so, will this allow me to see keywords for images?
-
Yes, we're not doing anything to the referral URL which will still contain your keyword data (if it isn't (not provided)), and landing pages will still track just fine. We're simply creating a profile that only lets in traffic with /imgres in the referring URL.
-
will this help me find the images url and keywords in google.com/images?
-
I know that statcounter.com
tags searches found by images...
-
I'd start by experimenting with the GA's filters. Try creating a new profile, then including only referral traffic that has /imgres in the referring URL. If all goes well, you'll have a profile that includes only image search traffic. From there you can consider adding it to your main profile, though you'll certainly want to be careful as it will mess with your numbers a bit.

Was Google Analytics and Adsense Down Today?
For the last 4 hours of so we were registering zero users and Adsense reporting has not changed. We checked the site, and there were no problems. It seems for some reason there was no reporting. Just now it came back up and we are showing live traffic. Trying to figure out if this was a problem specific to us or if it is on Google's end. Thanks,

Google Analytics Campaign Tracking overriding each other
Howdy, fellow mozzers. So, here is the situation: Let's say someone comes to the website through Organic Google Search, and first thing they see is the banner on the website, on a click of which it takes you to a promotional landing page. I have this banner being tracked with GA campaigns. Now, here are my questions: If that user makes a purchase, which source / medium it will be assigned to? Organic/google or website/banner? (as far as i understand it assigns it to website/banner) If that's the case, is there way to find out afterwords where the website/banner sessions came initially from? If there is no such way, how shall i setup the tracking to be able to see wherre the initial visit to the website came from, yet also track how many people clicked on the banner and made a purchase? Thanks 🙂

How to set goal in Google Analytics that required specific page
So our company has new page that has just implemented (let say "page x" --> not a landing page) and we want to see how many visitors that through "page x " convert into the goal (let say "page y"). If I just make the goal destination like "/page y" the goal number that appear is ALL the visitors who reach "page y" (through or not through "page x"), so how I set the goal setting to only show the visitors who reach "page y" through "page x" ? Thank you

Switching Google Analytics from Urchin to GA
I want to finally make the switch from Urchin to GA in Analytics, but the Google support page is no longer working (I realize I'm late to this so they likely took it down/moved it to where I can't find it). I've been searching on Google but can't find a straightforward guide to changing that won't disrupt my data. Anyone have a link to a working guide, or can you provide some guidance?
