Track image searches on google analytics

How can i track image searches on google analytics?
To filter the refferers by image.google or /imgres does not work in new google analytics (and brings an impossibly small number on old GA). also, this would not cover local google image refferers, that don't come from image.google.com.
anyone knows how to find image search sources? i haven't found anything helpful in google's documentation or forums. thanks!

Here is a Google Forum thread
Please read the Implementation of the hack to provide you with all image searchs
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Analytics/thread?tid=7731f9d0e198f11e&hl=en
Here is the revised script to track all Google Image Search in aggregate://handle google images referrervar ref = document.referrer; if ((ref.search(/google.imgres/) != -1)) { var regex = new RegExp(".google.([^/]+)(.)"); var match = regex.exec(ref); _gaq.push( ['_setReferrerOverride', 'http://images.google.' + match[1] + unescape(match[2])], ['_addOrganic', 'images.google', 'q', true] ); } Remember that this needs to be executed above the _trackPageview.If you want to track Google Image Search by country domain modify the addOrganic like this:['_addOrganic', 'images.google' + match[1], 'q', true]

Need help with excluding IP addresses in Google Analytics
In Google Analytics, are you able to add more than 1 IP address to an exclude filter? I found this article, http://www.creare.co.uk/filter-multiple-ip-addresses-in-google-analytics, but wasn't sure if it was the right way to do this or if I should create a new filter for each IP address. Also, when I try to create a new filter, it only will let me select from a list of profiles I have created whereas on other accounts I've been able to create several new filters without any problems. Does anyone know why this might be?

Tracking Google places (7 pack listing) traffic in google analytics
Is there a way to see Google Places traffic (traffic from users clicking through the 7 pack listings) segmented in Google analytics ? Normally is it just lumped together with the organic traffic ? Can you see the search phrases used to find your site, or do they also show up under 'not provided' when from Google Places. Im aware i can see some limited data in the Google Places analytics, but these seem to be 2 days behind when ever i view them.

Google Analytics - multiple counters
Hey there Mozzers! One of our customers wants to seperate one Google Analytics account into multiple accounts. The website is divided in three parts: Main: www.website.nl Sub1: www.website.nl/sub1 Sub2: http://www.website.nl/sub2 And they would like 4 different reports under one account. R1: Total count R2: Website.nl (without Sub 1 & Sub2) R3: Sub1 R4: Sub2 I know multiple counters will get in conflict with each other, so I have to implement some filters. E.g: We can configure a filter for R3 on "astmakids" in URL. My question is: is there a safe way to implement multiple Analytics filters on one website? And how will R3 see visitors that come from the root domain astmafonds.nl? Are they referrals? Thanks a lot in advance!! Partouter

Google Analytics Alternatives
I am getting really fed up with how unreliable Google Analytics data is. Also, because I have several large sites I can't use the goal tracking or conversion funnel reports. What are the best alternatives to Google Analytics?
