Using Awstats, what SE do people come from for each term?

[AfterHim.com]

Is there a way using awstats or webalizer to find out what term people use to find my site broken down by search engine?

I am starting to get some traffic from google, but it isn't for any of the terms I track, and I want to figure out what terms google has me ranked for.

Thanks,

Brandon

click on the keyword phrases tab - this will show hits by keyword phrase

1) Search Keyphrases
2) Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines) Full list

Notice number (2) click on the "full list" to see where your links are coming from.

For Google: Just type in your url without the www. or the domain ext.
Example: instead of www .mysite .com Just type in mysite in the G search box. This will give you a good idea of where your links are coming from.

You can see what search terms were used to find your site in awstats if you are using a combined logfile format. You will not see it if you are using a common log file format. You have to have the proper log file format set in both your apache configuration file and your awstats configuration file.

There is no way that I know with awstats to tell which search engine used which search term. I.E. You awstats won't show you that google sent you a visitor on term "blahity blah" and yahoo sent you a visitor on therm "boobidly blah". It will only count the number of times you were sent a visitor off each search term.

Webalizer does this. You may need to adjust parameter name for queries. I use this list:

SearchEngine netscape.com query
SearchEngine lycos.com query
SearchEngine google. q
SearchEngine yahoo.com p
SearchEngine altavista.com q
SearchEngine hotbot.com query
SearchEngine msn.com q
SearchEngine eureka.com q

Make sure you have referrers logged, though - some hosting companies don't have this enabled.
