Number of Visitor Entries to page via search engine
-
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.

Help Blocking Crawlers. Huge Spike in "Direct Visits" with 96% Bounce Rate & Low Pages/Visit.
Hello, I'm hoping one of you search geniuses can help me. We have a successful client who started seeing a HUGE spike in direct visits as reported by Google Analytics. This traffic now represents approximately 70% of all website traffic. These "direct visits" have a bounce rate of 96%+ and only 1-2 pages/visit. This is skewing our analytics in a big way and rendering them pretty much useless. I suspect this is some sort of crawler activity but we have no access to the server log files to verify this or identify the culprit. The client's site is on a GoDaddy Managed WordPress hosting account. The way I see it, there are a couple of possibilities.

1.) Our client's competitors are scraping the site on a regular basis to stay on top of site modifications, keyword emphasis, etc. It seems like whenever we make meaningful changes to the site, one of their competitors does a knock-off a few days later. Hmmm. 2.) Our client's competitors have this crawler hitting the site thousands of times a day to raise bounce rates and decrease the average time on site, which could like have an negative impact on SEO. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Google is going to reward sites with 90% bounce rates, 1-2 pages/visit and an 18 second average time on site. The bottom line is that we need to identify these bogus "direct visits" and find a way to block them. I've seen several WordPress plugins that claim to help with this but I certainly don't want to block valid crawlers, especially Google, from accessing the site. If someone out there could please weigh in on this and help us resolve the issue, I'd really appreciate it. Heck, I'll even name my third-born after you. Thanks for your help. Eric0 -
How can I see what Google sees when it crawls my page?
In other words, how can see the text and what not it sees from start to finish on each page. I know there was a site, but I can't remember it.

Numbers are now halved.
We lost 10% last month when Google upgraded. Now we are half of last weeks numbers. I run an informational site for digestive diseases. We don't sell, and we don't spam. How do I recover from something I am not doing? Moz shows me a few errors, but the only thing that it consistently reports is the keyword is used too often in the pages. This is an informational site that talks about diseases. We do have some strange links that point to us, but we did not create them, and have no idea why they are there. We did not buy them. Any ideas would be appreciated. Scratching our heads a lot here. Harry www.ddc.musc.edu iADdhcf

Relation between Page and Landing Page
Hi all, I am looking through the Analytics data on a specific 'page' (404.html which is the Not found page) and as my secondary dimensions, I have Landing Page data. Now am I not sure how the page and the landing page are related here. Is it basically saying 58 Page views of the 404.html were originated by the users who landed on brochures.html? If someone could provide any pointers on it, it would be great. Thank you for your time. uZQJ

Why are plus signs (+) suddenly showing up in Google Analytics organic search keywords reports?
Since June 13, 2013, the number of organic search queries containing a plus sign (+) has gone up over 1,000% compared to the previous period on my site in Google Analytics. These plus signs appear to be taking the place of spaces in these search queries (i.e. "word1+word2+word3"). This appears to be almost (or completely) Google organic traffic, not other search engines. Since I highly doubt searcher behavior would change so suddenly, I'm trying to figure out why Google is replacing spaces with plus signs. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?

How can I capture search terms and forward it along with my contact form?
I would like to be able to capture the keywords when someone comes to my site with a PPC click or a keyword search. I can't imagine that this is an uncommon request, but I can't find the tools that would let me do that, or heck something that will help me build it myself. What is everyone using to capture search information from people who contact you?
