    Hi All,

    I added google analytics for my site http://www.caloriehealthy.com. However when i see the list of keywords in analytics and their average keyword position they are totally wrong. Their are 171 keywords listed not one of the them are in the position mentioned 'average position' or even within 10 pages of it.

    Sorry for silly question can anyone explain this to me or what i must do to resolve it.

    Kindest Regards
    Fergal.

    Google Analytics will give you rough figure of the positions and if you normally go for Google webmaster tools as well it would give you rough positions of the keywords.

    Did you checked the secondary dimension for your keywords? As a "Country" and "Google Property'?

    Hi charmtolucky,

    actually never thought of that, however after going through about 30 keywords and using locations etc, still no luck. seems to be all over the place.

    Kind Regards
    Fergal.

    You might find some fluctuations but it should be there. If Google is showing 7 rank, your website or image may rank anywhere in between 1-20. But it will be there.

    If not your website but your image.

    Can you share screen shot so that i can check and help you in tracking the exact problem.
