Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks but as I mentioned above I am in Germany so cannott use analytics at all, hence my need to find another way to do this

Hey thanks, yeh was just wondering if anyone had a ready made tool as would make things a bit easier. The plan is to use the referral URLs from logfiles to look at search queries that are sending traffic to specific areas of the website (directories/sub-directories etc).

In Germany so cannot use Analytics and webmaster tools does not allow you to filter search queries to different areas of websites

Hello,

Does anyone know of or have a tool that takes referrer URLs coming from Google which extracts the search query from the URL string?

Thank you

Yeh shame there isn't anything, I am tracking myself for now but would like some historical information from before I started inhouse SEO at my current company

Hello,

Is there at tool to see how many pages were indexed in google for a particular website historically?

Thanks

I am trying to work out exactly how Google is crawling my site including entry points and its path from there. The site has millions of pages and hundreds of thousands indexed. I have simple log files with a  time stamp and URL that google bot was on. Unfortunately there are hundreds of thousands of entries even for one day and as it is a massive site I am finding it hard to work out the spiders paths. Is there any way using the log files and excel or other tools to work this out simply? Also I was expecting the bot to almost instantaneously go through each level eg. main page--> category page ---> subcategory page (expecting same time stamp) but this does not appear to be the case. Does the bot follow a path right through to the deepest level it can/allowed to for that crawl and then returns to the higher level category pages at a later time? Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
