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.

Was Google Analytics and Adsense Down Today?
For the last 4 hours of so we were registering zero users and Adsense reporting has not changed. We checked the site, and there were no problems. It seems for some reason there was no reporting. Just now it came back up and we are showing live traffic. Trying to figure out if this was a problem specific to us or if it is on Google's end. Thanks,

Is there a way to find out who the admin of a Google Analytics account is?
We have a client who has been searching high and low to gain access to the GA account that is tied to their website, but previous agencies keep stating they don't have access. Is there a way to find out who the admins are on a GA account with the tracking number so we can reach out to that person and ask them to admin the client?

Analytics - Video Tracking
Hello, As i've ended up confusing myself, I thought I would ask the moz community whether i'm on the correct track! I'm wanting full GA tracking on individual videos from our destination URL. In short I need the name of each video to have specific tracking. Example;
Reporting & Analytics | | Whittie
Video 1 (Apples)
Video 2 (Oranges)
Video 3 (Pears) We need to be able to see the amount of plays per session, per video. As well as any extras if possible, such as;
Watched 25%, watched 50%, watched 75%, video complete, video paused. If the following script is used; https://github.com/sanderheilbron/vimeo.ga.js As well as using the Google URL builder (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en-GB) , what would be the best way to set each video to see the statistics within Google Analytics, so I can see how many plays the 'Apples' video has had. I think it is the ordering of the 'event, campaign, label etc' which has confused me. Many Thanks for any replies in advance, I appreciate it.0 -

Google analytics question
Ok so in my traffic sources break down I have 3 sections: direct, organic, and referral. My question is under the referral tab I have recently noticed a new traffic source, my own website.... How is this possible? My top referring site is my own website.... Is this considered direct traffic or how is this being traced?

Google Images referral visits fell off a cliff
As of 28-Jan, referral traffic from Google images (/imgres) to my domain has pretty much vaporized. Visits are down 85%. It's actually not a disaster because most of those visits were from poorly optimized alt tags that were resulting in low quality visits. The interesting thing is that visit duration is up 80% during the same period. So I'm asking this question out of curiosity more than anything. Is this likely an algorithm tweak? I can't think of any major changes on my end. There's only one other data point to mention but I don't see how they'd be connected. I did two PRWEB releases on 29-Jan and 30-Jan that resulted in a few hundred new no-follow links back to my site. 22b7k2.png

Switching Google Analytics from Urchin to GA
I want to finally make the switch from Urchin to GA in Analytics, but the Google support page is no longer working (I realize I'm late to this so they likely took it down/moved it to where I can't find it). I've been searching on Google but can't find a straightforward guide to changing that won't disrupt my data. Anyone have a link to a working guide, or can you provide some guidance?
