Is it possible to know if visitor arrived at the web page via organic search and if so, show some content?

Hello,
Is it possible to know if visitors are arriving at a web page via organic search?
Background:
We have a section of job description pages to explain typical tasks. These have very high bounce rate (some 100%), and I think people are confusing them with actual jobs. For example "stage designer". Many of those keyword we have very high rankings.
I am thinking of having a small notice at the top of those page to say something like "if you are stage designer job, check out our job section".
Thanks

Thank you.
Can you also not only check if the visitor is coming via search BUT also keyword used so I can make my notices more specific?

Thanks Tom!

Hi Kevin
Thumbs down was from me and was a genuine misclick, really sorry!
Can't seem to cancel the thumbs down, so I've popped you a thumbs up instead.
Sorry again!

Responding to the thumbs down. I may have read this wrong, but my interpretation was to show a specific message to people arriving via organics. Huw seems to know that the bounce rates were high, so I assumed he was already in Google Analytics.

Hi Huw
Yes, this is quite easy to do in Google Analytics.
In your analytics window , click on "Traffic sources ->Sources ->All traffic". Then click "advanced segments" near the top navigation bar, then select "non-paid search traffic". Click apply and it should bring up traffic that has only come from organic search.
From here, you can then sort by keyword. Next to the "Primary dimension" should be a few clickable bits of text. If you click "Other" and then "Traffic Sources" and "Keyword", it will sort your organic search visits by keyword.
In the search bar towards the right you can then search and filter for specific keywords.
If you can see a decent amount of traffic coming in via that keyword, I would then look to serve them some specific content.
Hope this helps!

Yes you can via HTTP_REFERER (if using PHP). There are plenty of examples out there.

Drop in Android organic search
Hay Moz Community, I have been analysing traffic fluctuations for a few websites and have found a noticeable drop in organic traffic from android devices. I initially thought it could be a generic mobile drop but iOS is holding its own? Can anyone share any insights they may have come across to explain the drop on android specifically. Thank you in advance

Dupe Content: Canonicalize the Wordpress Tag or NoIndex?
Mozzers, Here we go. I've read multiple posts for years on taxonomy dupe content. In fact, I've read 10 articles tonight on taxonomies and categories. A little background: I am using Wordpress SEO with the Yoast plugin. **Here is the scenario: We have 560 tags - some make sense - some do not. ** What do I do? Do I not worry about it? Matt Cutts said twice that I should not stress about it, because in the worse non-spammy case, Google may just ignore the duplicate content. Matt said in the video, “I wouldn’t stress about this unless the content that you have duplicated is spammy or keyword stuffing.” (Found Via Search Engine Land - http://searchengineland.com/googles-matt-cutts-duplicate-content-wont-hurt-you-unless-it-is-spammy-167459). Do I NoIndex,Follow the Tags? Yoast and a Moz post both say I should NoIndex and Follow the Tags. From the post: "Tag, author, and date archives will all look too similar to other content. So it does not make sense to have them indexed." BUT! **The tags have been indexed for YEARS! And both articles go onto say **"if your blog has already existed for some time, and you've been indexing tags all along for example, you shouldn't just go deindexing them" (http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success). So do I deindex tags that have been indexed for years? I checked the analytics, and in the past month, tags have brought in less than 1% of traffic, but they are bringing in traffic. Do I canonicalize the tags? Canonicalize the URL from "http://domain.com/blog/tag/addiction/" to "http://domain.com/blog/" ? And if I canonicalize, would you canonicalize to the /blog or to the base /tag? Thanks for any and all help. I just want to clarify this issue. One of the reasons is because I received a Moz Report with a TON of dupe content warning from the tags and categories.

How to best figure out synonymous search phrases
I'm curious about synonymous key phrases and competitive key term analysis. I have a few methods for conducting research to find what phrases Google considers synonymous but they are very time consuming. What are some ways to figure this out? An example would be livestock and cattle. Are there any good ways to figure out user intent related key phrases? For example in our niche if someone is looking to purchase something Google often delivers pages with title tags that include the term supplies. Would it be advantageous to optimize for these types of key phrases if the competition is less or should I assume that Google groups exact match and synonym and intent match together when calculating relevancy. Eg I can choose to target livestock or cattle on page. Livestock gets a quarter the search volume cattle gets but has half the competition. Will I be competing against the cattle sites too? If so should I just bite the bullet and target cattle?

Decline in engagement metrics, due to nav changes vs. content changes
With improvements in our rankings, we are seeing adverse changes in our measures of engagement. My gut reaction is to believe we are attracting more unqualified traffic, thus higher bounce rates, declines in pages/visit and time on site (approx 15%, 15%, 25%, respectively). While recent improvements in navigation might have contributed to these engagement declines, do you have any suggestions how best to determine whether these declines are due to nav changes vs. due to copy/content issues? There's been no change in copy content during this period. Thanks.
