Can you filter referring keywords in Google Analytics by language?
-
Hi All!
So yes, I know that you can see/filter the language that the computer or browser was set to (en-us, ru, fr, etc.), but if you look at the keywords used by visitors falling under "fr", some are in English.
Is there any way to get, say, just the keywords in Russian - regardless of what the visitor's browser language was set to?
Thanks!

Hi Aviva!
Glad I could help! I have one Thai client and use the same trick to get a general idea of how much traffic they are getting from Thai keywords.
Happy traffic analyzing!

Thanks, Tim!
This is actually an incredible help, because I am dealing with languages that have different characters. Since most languages have some characters that are more common, if you hit enough of them, you're going to include virtually every search phrase. If I want to single out English (if my other language is Russian, Hebrew, Chinese, etc.), just use a|e|i|o|u|y - and you've got it. And if you're trying to exclude English and get the other language, just use a segment that excluded the vowels.
So... thanks!
All the best,
Aviva (I work with Debi)

Hi Debi,
I can't think of a perfect way to solve this, but you might be able to set up some sort of advanced search once you're on the keyword report.
Russian gives you a bit of an advantage because there are characters unique to the language that you can search for. For example, you could create this advanced search: Include, Keyword, Matching RegExp, г|и|ф|ч.
See the attached image for a better explanation. In RegEx, the | character means "or". So you're basically saying "г or и or ф or ч" and the results will show any keyword that uses one of those characters.
Like I said, this isn't perfect. For all I know, there are many Russian words that don't use these characters, and this doesn't help you out with singling out English or French keywords. But maybe you can play around with this idea and find something works.

I am confuse with google analytic custom and segment report
Hi All, In google analytic when I create custom report for my ecommerce site then figures go mad. I really not able to judge peformance of device, browser and it's version, conversion, ecommerce conversion rate etc. same way if I add secondary dimension in report then also figures are not accurate. Again when I create different segment like desktop, mobile, tablet then in tablet segment mobile devices comes and in mobile device tablet appear why segment also not accurate? Is it because I am using free version? Also do we have alternative of google analytic which give same report like google analytic either device, browser, os, segment, enhance ecommerce etc? 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

Any updates regarding 'not provided' organic keyword referrals in Google Analytics?
I know that the encrypted searches done by people logged into their Google accounts is causing the error, is there any workaround or any update from Google as to IF they will give us our keyword data back? I'm currently losing data on about 20% of my daily searches . . .
