How can I pass the Search Term into a lead form?
-
We receive lead forms from interested visitors that include their name, email, grade level, and academic goals, and we would like to also know which specific phrase they used when searching for us.
I need to find a way to grab the referring keywords and pass them as a hidden form field.
Can this be done, and are there scripts available that can do this?

Hi Bryce,
I had the exact same question and couldn't find any simple solutions so I went ahead and created a free tool that does exactly this. It captures information submitted through a lead form along with where they came from and if they came from a search engine, it automatically tracks the exact keyword phrase they searched for. Then all of the lead information is sent to you in an email as well as stored in a very basic database for you to manage them. It's still a work in progress but it accomplishes what I want it to do for the time being.
Feel free to check it out at http://convertable.com and please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.

I'm wondering whether paid analytics platforms out there may have a solution. Seems to me a tracked entrance path could retain keyterms for a goal-tracking report.
Also, entrance terms would be relevant to dynamic landing pages, something many affiliate sites use, and if conversion requires a sign-up, then clearly those tools would exist to capture the dynamic terms and dB them for CPA metrics.
In other words, I am sure this exists, but am guessing the resource would be a paid analytics module maybe within an ecommerce/affiliate platform.

We don't assign any session ID's, but I did find this post that I think I could use as a starting point.

Of course, I would be performing a different set of actions, and would like it to work for Yahoo/Bing as well.

Does each unique have a session ID?

Reducing Negative Impact of Webpage Login Form
Our real estate website (www.metro-manhattan.com) now requires visitors to login in if they want to search our listing database. The result is that. 9 out of 10 visitors leave without searching; they simply refuse to set up an account. I have attached images of the search bar and login form. Is there a way to increase the percentage of visitors that login? We have tried to make it as simple as possible, allowing visitors to login by Facebook, Google or by providing their email address. We do not send any verification email. We are forced to. keep this login unfortunately. But is there anything we can do to reduce the visitor bounce rate? Thanks,

Is an email signup form more effective than a button?
I'm very confident it is. But I'm looking for a study I can use to tell my conservative bosses that if we replace the button with an email entry field and button, we'll improve conversion greatly. If anyone has a link to a study on how much you can further improve clickthrough by having an overlay form appear, I'd appreciate that as well. Joel

Contact form at the end of all posts
I notice a lot of sales blogs have contact forms at the end of all their posts. Can anyone give me some information on the effectiveness of this tactic? Case studies, examples, or your experience from adding contact forms and what it did to conversions? I imagine it would help increase conversions. It would reduce a step from moving to a new page, but might turn off some visitors? Any information would be appreciated.

Keeping pages indexed but making sure they fill out a form before access - confusing Q's
OK so let me break down this little scenario we have going on. I work for a b2b company so we have a lot of gated content that is behind a form fill out - this is how we get a lot of our lead generation. Some pages that we have behind the form are showing up in search which allows people to view the documents bypassing the form. At first I thought, well why dont we just no index that page so that it does not appear in search. But then I thought it would be smart to keep the pages indexed to keep the SEO value, Is there a way to keep these pages indexed but make sure that when they click the link in the SERPS that they need to fill out the form in order to gain access to the document? Something on the backend that checks to make sure that the referral URL was completed or something like that? Anybody deal with this before?

Non-branded search before branded search in Google Analytics
A lot of organic search phrases contain branded terms. Does Google Analytics provide a possibility to track wheteher the first interactor with the website is due to a non-branded search term? Example: On monday someone search for 'online shoes' and on thursday this visitor search for 'shoestore.com'. Ist it possible in the Thursday report in Google Analytics to see that this visitor has first arrived on the site with the search term 'online shoes'? The same question can be asked for direct/none traffic. is it possible to see whether these visits ca be attributed to an organic search term?

Do Online Reviews Increase Search Engine Rankings?
Do the mere presence of reviews on product pages increase a page's ranking or standing in the SERPs? I'm not referring to driving more traffic with a product page because there's more content, long tail keywords, more updates to the page as reviews roll in, etc. Has there been any study around whether a product page began ranking better by simply adding review functionality?

Can Adwords campaigns affect other campaigns performance?
I understand that keywords and adgroups within a campaign can affect the performance of other keywords within that parent campaign. I was interested to understand whether campaigns in my account can affect one another. I have an adwords account with around 30 campaigns. Some are heavy hitters and others get minimal to 0 traffic. Will these low quality campaigns drive up the costs of my high end campaigns?
