Any way to know what keyword landed the user on a certain page?

Is there any way I can know what keyword was searched for when a user clicks one of my links?

I can see what terms are being searched in my awstats, but is there a way I can tell on the page itsself what term brought the user to the site? I'm hoping there is just some sort of parameter that is just passed into my page.

Thanks!

 

Google Analytics might be the answer.

 

You can absolutely do this with Google Analytics. Look at "Content by Titles" and drill down to "Cross Segment Performance".

 

IN ASP you can use Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") to give you the referring URL to your pages. Create a database table with your URL and corresponding referring URL. So when a visitor comes from a search engine, the referring URL should have their domain and keyword. Then you know what page of yours was shown for a corresponding keyword.

And to top it off, Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") will give you the visitor's IP address. Then you know where the visitor is coming from as well.

 

Wow, that's great! I'll look into these suggestions. Thank you everyone for your help

 

Open a Statcounter account ...

 

yup, statcounter can tell you thru their keyword analysis feature.

 

where do you see cross segment performance and what is that?
Please.
