Comparison shopping engine traffic is going to track with other section and not indicate keyword.
I want to track keyword which help me to understand more about my product feed performance. It will help me for better understanding regarding keywords which was searched by my customers to land on my website.

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 reporting traffic for 404 pages
Hi guys, Unique issue with google analytics reporting for one of our sites. GA is reporting sessions for 404 pages (landing pages, organic traffic) e.g. for this page: http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php the page is currently a 404 page but GA (see screenshot) is reporting organic traffic (to the landing page). Does anyone know any reasons why this is happening? Cheers. http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php GK0zDzj.jpg

Traffic Drop Observations: Google UI, Mobilegeddon
Our traffic has dropped 25% in the last 3 weeks while maintaining our keyword rankings. At first, we thought it was due to the simultaneous change in Google UI where they removed the separators between ads and organic results. However, now, we have also noticed that our user devices have gone from ~ 50% desktop/50% mobile to 20% desktop/80% mobile. Just food for thought ...

Getting traffic for another site
Hi Everyone, Our website url/brand is very close to another website url/brand. We are non-competing entities. It appears as though this other company has begun a marketing program which has resulted in our traffic skyrocketing. However, it seems to have also resulted in our Pages/Visit and Visit Duration to decrease and our Bounce Rate to increase. Can anyone suggest how to deal with this type of scenario? Thanks,
