Hi James,

Thanks for the reply. Yes that makes sense, hopefully Google will roll this out to more people over time.

In the process of doing this, I’ve noticed this referring site in Analytics – kw-lp-suggest.i.corp.google.com could this be referrals from people who have used Google suggest?

Donna – it will only give you the information for Google. The filters won’t give you any info on Yahoo! or Bing I’m afraid. My post on Second Page Keyword Targeting here: http://jamesmorell.com/second-page-keyword-targeting shows you very briefly how to set up custom filters for seeing which page you rank for on Yahoo! and Bing (or Live as it was then) which may help you.

James – will this filter give me the landing pages and keywords coming ONLY from Google? Or will I get ALL LPs & KWs but only RANKING on the Google KWs?

I’m trying to create a report of ALL our keywords and their landing page, the ranking is a BONUS. Any help or insight you can provide would be much appreciated!!

@ Paddy Sorry for the delay in replying – been rather busy! There will not be many as the only people you’ll see coming through are those logged into a Google account, and only a few of those have this new tracking data added to their results. I believe it is something Google are trying out a the moment.

@Emerald Are you adding a profile for an existing domain? It takes a day for the data to come through. Oher than that I’m not sure. You could try looking at the analytics help centre and seeing if there’s anything there that could help.

Another question – I’ve added this new 2nd profile for an existing site (which already has another profile for normal tracking) but it says ‘Tracking Not Installed’ for the new 2nd profile.

Do I need to add a 2nd tracking code for the 2nd profile throughout my site for it to work and will this be ok without causing any mix up of results accoss profiles?

Thanks in advance, love this tracking idea and hope to get it installed correctly…

Hi James,

Thanks a lot for the detailed post, I’ve followed your steps and after a few days I’ve got some data. However the majority of traffic is coming through as (not set). There are a few referrals for some keywords with rank and landing page but for some reason only a few are being tracked. Do you know why this may be happening?

Thanks.

Josh, it should be ‘yes, yes, yes, no’ – thanks for pointing that out. If you have it as ‘yes, no, yes, no’ you don’t force the landing page or ‘LP’ field to display.

On the final step to setting this up (keyword, rank, and landing page), the image shows the final parameters as being ‘yes, no, yes, no’, but the text explaining this step says it should be ‘yes, yes, yes, no’. Which is the proper group of settings?

Hi Adam,

It should be possible to do that, either through funnels, landing pages or by creating custom segments. I think that it might be a pretty useful thing to know too, so I’ll have a think about it over the next couple of weeks.
