Can you filter referring keywords in Google Analytics by language?
-
Hi All!
So yes, I know that you can see/filter the language that the computer or browser was set to (en-us, ru, fr, etc.), but if you look at the keywords used by visitors falling under "fr", some are in English.
Is there any way to get, say, just the keywords in Russian - regardless of what the visitor's browser language was set to?
Thanks!

Hi Aviva!
Glad I could help! I have one Thai client and use the same trick to get a general idea of how much traffic they are getting from Thai keywords.
Happy traffic analyzing!

Thanks, Tim!
This is actually an incredible help, because I am dealing with languages that have different characters. Since most languages have some characters that are more common, if you hit enough of them, you're going to include virtually every search phrase. If I want to single out English (if my other language is Russian, Hebrew, Chinese, etc.), just use a|e|i|o|u|y - and you've got it. And if you're trying to exclude English and get the other language, just use a segment that excluded the vowels.
So... thanks!
All the best,
Aviva (I work with Debi)

Hi Debi,
I can't think of a perfect way to solve this, but you might be able to set up some sort of advanced search once you're on the keyword report.
Russian gives you a bit of an advantage because there are characters unique to the language that you can search for. For example, you could create this advanced search: Include, Keyword, Matching RegExp, г|и|ф|ч.
See the attached image for a better explanation. In RegEx, the | character means "or". So you're basically saying "г or и or ф or ч" and the results will show any keyword that uses one of those characters.
Like I said, this isn't perfect. For all I know, there are many Russian words that don't use these characters, and this doesn't help you out with singling out English or French keywords. But maybe you can play around with this idea and find something works.

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.

Some questions on how to set up a multi-visit advanced segment in Google Analytics
Hi I would like some assistance / clarification on how to set up a user segment so that it can track user behavior over multiple visits. Basically I have a campaign set up and want to see conversions - even if they hit the site and then convert later on another visit. I've read that you can do this (over up to 30 days). So I start off by filtering TRAFFIC SOURCE - easy enough. But then I have to add under "advanced" correct? But then when I set the next filter to the GOAL I want, I only get "by session" and "by hit" as options. The blog post I read made it sound like only "by user" would then really do multi visits. Is "by user" only an e-commerce tracking option? (which I don't have set up) Is there another way/path to get the info I need? Thank you!

Reporting & Analytics | | Unity
The amount of completed purchases reported in GA doesn't match the actual transaction figure via the eCommerce platform. Question:
I was wondering if anyone knows why this occurs? I have a few ideas on why however I haven't been able to locate any supporting evidence. So I was hoping to generate a few ideas from the SEOMoz community to help me investigate further. Any ideas welcome! Much thanks,
