Image Search Keyword Tracking With Google Analytics
-
Does anyone know how to track keywords for your images in Google, Yahoo, Bing (/imgres)?
-
Melia,
addOrganic is unnecessary. It is still falling under the 'organic' medium. With the filter I described above, we're ONLY letting in Google Images traffic. It will still have source = google, medium = organic, and term = {whatever keyword}.
For Google Maps and Places, you COULD just update the URL that you submit to Google Places with utm tracking parameters so that you don't even need filters. For instance, the URL that you've verified in Places would be:
http://www.example.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=google_places
-
Also, can you tell me what custom filter you use for google images, maps & places? That would help alot!
-
Am i able to change the referral for images.google.com & google.com/imgres to organic?
example:
pageTracker._addOrganic(“images.google.com”,”q”);
If so, will this allow me to see keywords for images?
-
Yes, we're not doing anything to the referral URL which will still contain your keyword data (if it isn't (not provided)), and landing pages will still track just fine. We're simply creating a profile that only lets in traffic with /imgres in the referring URL.
-
will this help me find the images url and keywords in google.com/images?
-
I know that statcounter.com
tags searches found by images...
-
I'd start by experimenting with the GA's filters. Try creating a new profile, then including only referral traffic that has /imgres in the referring URL. If all goes well, you'll have a profile that includes only image search traffic. From there you can consider adding it to your main profile, though you'll certainly want to be careful as it will mess with your numbers a bit.

Hello I have a question about my site account.

Exact Match in Google Search (Not Adwords)
I was going throught the list of keywords that have sent traffic to my site over the last 7 years and cam across one "A516 grade 70" that had hundreds of variants. Now in a lot of cases search volumes were different as were SERPS. We've tested a few variants with reworked pages (70% similar to original but optimised for variant keyword) and see good SERPS and traffic results. Theres obviously some diminishing returns here for us but the interesting question is when to these variants become an exact match and when not? In some cases the variants are unique because of the spacig, periods and hyphens used. there isn't a clear correlation with exact matc though. Insight appreciated. (Sorry for spelling errors. Form doesn't play nicely with iPad)

Google Analytics for example.com and www.example.com
Hello. I have had a Google Analytics account set up to track the property www.example.com for several years. In Google Webmaster Tools, I recently set the preferred domain to example.com (without the www), and we put in a rewrite from www to no-www in the .htaccess file. Should I now change the url of the property in Google Analytics to example.com (without the www), or does Google Analytics see the two urls as the same? Thank you!

Tracking Required Form Fields in Google Analytics
I tried searching for this elsewhere but am having a hard time finding a good answer. Is it possible to track the effect of required form fields on conversions in Google Analytics? In other words, how do I track whether or not more/less people fill out a form if I make "Last Name" a required field? Thanks 🙂
