I want to add response on my question which I found from external website after raising question over here.
Of course GA will not track the keywords because they are not present in the tagged url of the landing page and the CSE are not recognized as search engines to GA. You can try to modify your tracking code to list those CSEs as search engines in your GA account.
Check here:
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gaJS/gaJSApiSearchEngines.html#gat.GA_Tracker._addOrganicThe first parameter will be the CSE name and the second parameter will be the query parameter of the CSE when people search on them. For example when you search on google, the keyword appears in the url of the search result after "q="
So the code will be _gaq.push(['_addOrganic', 'google.com', q]);
Likewise you can do for all your CSEs. Just go to the CSEs and search to find the search query parameters.

Okay. I am not sure it can be done without setting up a custom tracking for it. Maybe include some tracking in the product feed URLs. I need to look into it more but it doesn't look like Google uses a different sub domain than regular search.

Yes, I want to track keywords which was searched on Google shopping for my products and land on my product page.

So... just to clarify? You want to know which keyword was used for the person to find the comparison shopping engine (which is third party) - which ultimately lead to a click to your site? Or are you talking about tracking Google Shopping?

Google Analytics - Tracking multiple thankyou pages?
Hi Guys, I want to track email opt-ins for multiple thank you pages. The setup is as follows: http://image.prntscr.com/image/57632e05a15f42fda0b8ffec2d176460.png I have not yet built the thank you pages, so i was wondering what the URL should be to make it easy to track them in GA? I'm thinking: domain.com/thankyou-page/page1 Then using regular expression in GA to track /thankyou-page/ Would this be a good way to go about it? Cheers. f6c7r0

Goals tracking across subdomains
Hi all, I'm having some trouble with regards to setting up goals tracking in Analytics across subdomains and was hoping that someone could help me out. Okay I work for an insurance company and we use a Quote & Buy portal for our insurance policies. Our website - www.example.com sends the traffic to quotes.example.com. Both of these sites have the same Google Analytics tracking ID. The quotes.example.com has no duplicate URLs which appear one our website, therefore I only set up the account to only include the hostname for each. Does this sound correct? The goals issue is if I now set up a goal in the quotes.example.com account, someone comes to www.example.com via Google and then clicks through to our journey and completes, will this count as a referral from www.example.com or as a goal from Organic? I'm totally stuck so any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ben

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.

Local Non Brand Keywords Tanking!
We have been playing catch up and noticed that in between March and April, one of our sites has seen a drastic decrease in traffic for "city + keyword". All of the other keywords are doing very well. The site has a page for each location. The traffic for these pages dropped by 33% between March and April. And page 1 rankings dropped by 30% as well. No drastic updates were made during this time. The traffic and rankings have not came back. This isn't for every location either. It seems very random as far as the drop in rankings. Did anything happen with local rankings at this time? Did anyone else see this? This is only affecting the Google traffic. Let me know your thoughts.
