Can I Trace The Keywords From a PPC & SEO Campaign That Brought The individual To My Site Without Using a Call Tracking Service?
-
Hi All
I was wondering if it is possible to trace the individual keywords/key-phrases that someone has used to get them to my pages/site and if they came in from PPC or SEO, preferably without having to use a call tracking service, code under number, or multi-telephone line system?
Regards
Nic

Hi Todd
That sounds great! I will give it a go!

Woopra is a good suggestion Todd. I used to use it on a couple of sites, right after it came out of beta.
Problem is, I ended up with information overload - it was fun to see what was happening on the sites in real-time, but (of course) it took time away from doing more important things.

Oh ok. Try Woopra. It's a great software that works similar to Google's real-time tracking. If your site has a low volume of visits you can see who is on your site in real-time and what page they're on. If you see someone on your contact page and then you get a call you can make a pretty good guess. It's not perfect, but it's a partial solution. You can read more about the differences between Woopra & Google Analytics on our blog here:

Thank you David!
I was hoping that there was a more precise method just so I can differentiate the different keywords to campaigns and gaige which keywords need less or more PPC or SEO...

To be honest if someone calls you, the only way to know how they discovered you is going to be to ask them.
Of course, you'll find it hard to get the level of detail you want, people who call looking to buy something don't want to be quizzed in detail as to how they found the company.
Our customer service people always ask how the caller found us - usually the response is limited to one word - "Google" In our case, our organic visits way outnumber the PPC (thank goodness!) so I'm happy with the Google answer.

Hi Todd
Thank you!! I am fully aware of this, what I mean to ask is, lets say I type "hats" in to google and someone then clicks on the link to my site, goes through a couple of pages and then decides to phone, how can I tell what search term/keyword that individual used and if it was the SEO campaign or PPC campaign that drew them in?

Google Analytics can do all of this. I'm a bit lost with your emphasis on call tracking, but if you want to see which paid and organic keywords brought visitors to your website, Google Analytics is the answer. It's free.

I understand it's been asked before, however moz staff is telling me keyword's capitalization is treated as a separate keyword.
So there I was looking through my rankings like every other day, when I see a lowercase and uppercase version of a keyword. Most times I see this, I see them with the same rankings, and even researched this about 5 months ago, when I came to the conclusion that google treats them the same way. However, this day I saw them as different ranks, same keyword, only capitalized 1st letter of the 2 word keyword. I asked moz staff about this, as I felt it was an error. But was met with the answer that google does indeed treat these keywords differently. My line of thought was that the rank checker didn't check both the lowercase and uppercase keyword at the same time, and SERPs happened to change when the second word was checked for rank, returning a different rank. So now, I am in doubt again, as to uppercase and lowercase keywords being different or the same in google's eyes? I honestly don't know why a uppercase keyword would have different motive from searcher than a lowercase when many time not, searchers can't even spell the keyword correctly.

Any keyword tools to do this?
Hi, I'm looking for a tool which can pull keyword idea data from Google Keyword Planner at landing page level for multiple URLs at once. Right now with Google Keyword Planner you can only manually do one URL at once. Which will give you 800 keywords. I'm looking to pull landing page keyword ideas for about 10 URLs at once, so in total i should get about 8,000 keywords. Any tools which can automate this with Google Keyword Planner? Cheers.

Keyword with or without stress?
hi to everyone, I'm new here I'm doing some research for keywords related to sofa in brazil. Portuguese use lot of stress in writing words. there are many important keywords that should be written with the stress. For example: sofás but I'm measuring many more researches for the same word without stress (see attachment). This is the same for many other key phrases with 2 or 3 words. in 90% of the case, key phrases without stress has many more researches Now I have 3 questions: results are very similar for these two keys. are really two different keys or are they the same for google? what number to keep for total search? the higher? the sum between the two? what keywords I have to use in the pages? "sofás" is the correct one, but "sofas" has many more research? U1sYe.png

Using city location in keywords?
Hi all, new to SEO MOZ and SEO in general. I'm trying to do some keyword research to choose keywords and keyphrases for on page SEO as well as an Adwords campaign for a real estate agency that focuses on luxury high rise condos and homes in the Dallas area. My question is, when choosing keywords do you need to include your location in the key phrase? For instance luxury real estate or dallas luxury real estate? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Choosing keywords for similar products on an ecommerce site
In the case of an e-commerce website, can you optimize multiple pages using the same keyword ‘root’ but including different long-tail variances of that ‘root’? For example, say I’m optimizing for a site that sells wallpaper. I found search traffic for the keyword “buy wallpaper online,” but no traffic for “Blue Tinted Wallpaper” (or its variants) and no taffic for “Yellow Plaid Wallpaper” (or its variants). Could I effectively optimize both of these pages using the root “Buy wallpaper online”, yet distinguish the pages by using long-tail variants such as “Buy Blue Tinted Wallpaper Online” and “Buy Yellow plaid Wallpaper Online”? Any examples of this you can point to?
