    Hi there,
    I've been looking at my website stats and I'm getting hits from google.co.uk/search.
    I'm just wondering, is there a way of finding out what it is that they are searching for? I'm interested to find out the terms that they are entering to the search engine, before it links to my website.

    Thanks for any help.
    Matt

    You can see the search word/query in your AWSTATS. Almost all traffic analysis programs have that.

    you may install PHPMYVISITS: runs on your server, it's my favorite, has some bugs but nothing serious, have not security holes

    or

    ewebcounter: runs on their server

    or

    statcounter: popular but no so easy

    Your web server logs are REALLY good reporters of that data IF you're webhost is running like AWStats or some other form of traffic data. I personally love AWStats and Google Analytics is pretty useful as well. It is free too so you can't beat that. What I love about AWStats is that not only does it give you the keywords but IP addresses, geographical locations, countries, which web bots have crawled your sites and when the last visit was, which pages are being visited the most and so much more data. On my web host it comes free with my cPanel account.

    I am suprised your stats would show traffic from google uk search but not link it came from. If it shows link that should have keywords they searched in it.

    Awstats is not so good as Satcounter in keyword tracking. In statcounter, it clearly states which keywords visitors input into the search engines. You'd better load a statcounter project to track the keywords.

    check your site stat (if you have one) mostly they will give you all info like no.visitor, where are they from (site), keywords search and link page. you might can get some useful info. check your domain control panel they might have it.

    You can also use statcounter to see the keywords that your visitors use to found your site.
