Number of Visitor Entries to page via search engine

[kevinyu1029]

Hi,

I wanted to figure out the most optimal way to track the number of visitors that comes to a specific page on my blog via search engine only.

I know Google Analytics has a "top landing page" filter, but that includes all visitors that comes in directly or other channels.

Is there a way to figure out how many visitors a certain page received that was generated through only search engine?

Does SEOmoz have this capability?

You are welcome.

Once you have done that I'd really suggest reading up on advanced segments. They are incredibly useful and, as you have seen, really simple to use.  Besides the pre-built ones you can also create your own.

Thanks a ton.  This was extremely helpful and so easy.  That advanced segments was so small to see, I can't believe i missed it.

Again, thanks for your help!

If you have Google Analytics running on your site then that is the best tool for this particular job.

There are actually a few ways to get the data you want, however my preference is using Advanced Segments - which are simpler than they sound.

When looking at data in Google Analytics, the default view is "all visitors". So, if you are looking at top landing pages then that shows you the top landing pages for all visitors. However you can very easily select only to look at one segment of traffic: In your example this would be organic search traffic.

• To do this first view the landing pages report, as usual.
• Then look for the "advanced segment" drop down towards the top of the page
• Select "non paid search traffic"
• Click apply

You will now see that the data has changed and the overall numbers have dropped. You can now click through the landing pages to see the number of search referrers for each.

If you can't immediately see the one you are looking for try typing it's URI in to the filter box.
