Long tail analytics
-
I've been playing with google advanced segments, but can't work out how to do this:
Show all the keywords and traffic that send between x and x number of keyword searches per month. I'd like to have 3 different segments to show short, long and midtail keywords.
Can anyone help?

Thanks Martin,
I was able to do so by using filters, and it was easy.
Had hoped for some more advanced options in analytics though.
Best

Hi Anders,
The problem in this case is that my example was related to filters while you tried to apply it with Advanced Segments. With creating advanced segments like you tried you'll 'ask' Google Analytics to only show keyword which were visited more than X times by thesame visitor. While filtering on the other hand filters the data for all visitors.
If you apply the same methodology by using the filters in your keyword reports you are able to filter the data. Hopefully this will help you any further.
Happy holidays!

@Journeyman
Thanks for the description on how to set it up.
Now I just did it, and set up three advanced segments:
Fat Head: Visits > 100
Chunky Middle: > 10 AND < 100
Long tail: <10
And those segments are available for me know.
However, I cannot see how I apply those advanced segments into my data analysis. From the keyword metrics I can see that I have 12 keywords that attracts more than 100 keywords per month.
But when I enable those segments, I get a result of 0 for each, although I should have roughly 3500 visitors a month from those 12 keywords that attracts more than 100 people each.
Kind regards
Anders

Thanks so much Martin, this is a much easier way.

Hi Peter,
I think you're making this a bit to complicated, because this could also be done, more easily in my opinion, by applying a filter to your reports with Search Traffic and gives you even fast results. You could easily do this by applying the number of visits a keywords has got like you can see here in this example.
You also thought about analyzing your long-tail another way by taking the length of the search term? Avinash Kaushik wrote a great article about this last year, which could be found in the third part of this post.
Happy analyzing!

Strange landing page in Google Analytics
Hello MOZ Community, The website in question is https://x-y.com/ When i looked at the landing pages report in GA , x-y.com is appended at the end of every URL like this. https://x-y.com/x-y.com When i open the above URL in GA interface, it shows page not found. This is obvious as there is no such URL.

Drop in Bounce Rate in Google Analytics
Hi guys, I have recently seen a large drop in bounce rate (from GA) which seems unnatural for one of our clients website. Since the start of 2018, the bounce rate was consistently between 40-60%, and then saw a random spike, and now for the past two weeks, the bounce rate is below 10%. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas if this is a problem with GA, or the site itself. Site: https://www.zoomocarcredit.com/ Any comments/feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jack.

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

Localhost:4444 Showing Up in Google Analytics
Hello All, Lately in my Google Analytics account I have noticed a referral source labelled: localhost:4444 The number of visits is really high from this source, but I have no idea (no clue!) what it actually means. Can anyone shed some light on what this is about? Should I be creating some sort of filter to screen out this as a referral source (assuming it is not legitimate)? Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

What is the best way to track mobile sites in Google Analytics?
Hello! I am wondering what the pros and cons of using the regular Google Analytics tracking code on a mobile site versus the tracking documentation from Google specifically on it found at http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/web/ which is still in labs mode. Does the mobile specific tracking have the same features as the regular one to be able to track events and report the same statistics? Thanks for the help on this one!
