    Hello,

    There are quite amount of traffic driving to my websites everyday. I think some of them are coming from different Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, etc...). Now I wish to know the traffic distribution from the Search Engines.

    Are there any tools or softwares I can use to track the traffic coming from which Search Engines?

    Thanks

    If you using cPanel Control Panel you can view the Traffic Status from Awastat In your Control Panel. There you can see how many traffic you are getting from which search engine.

    For that you can use the free tool, Google Analytic. It will shows you the exact report about search engine Traffic.

    Yep google Analytics's or yahoo's version will give you every detail you ever wonted and probably a lot of info you don't. I personally use Google but that just because I got them first and like the way they run stuff.

    Goole Analytics, simple, free and trusted.

    @ MikeCriss: of course, Analytics shows others search engines name, for one of my website, Analytics shows me traffic from Yahoo search engine.

    Tools like Google Analytics and AwStats are very great. You may also check out the log files provided on your hosting panel with details about the search engines robots and their crawling stats.

    Use google analytics.. awstats is very good too, cuz it works from the backend.. you can also try this tool it tells how many visitors sites get from search engines ( http://www.comjuice.com )
    i don't know how accurate it is

    G. analitics is a good tool, you just choose the site you want to check, then: Content-Overview/top landing pages (i'd recommend to take the last one, as you need to know where the most traffic comes from) - choose Source in the drop-box - and you'll get statistics on the pages that bring you traffic - which pages+traffic source. And so you could make more content of such a nature to ge even more traffic.

    Only one slight modification to your information as most of it is correct. Many smaller search engines appear as "referrals" like Dogpile or IXQuick or hundreds of others. You need to look at both "search engines" and "referrals" to actually see all the engines. Many other people have said that you cannot see other search engines in Google, but you can in AWStats, that is not true. What you can see in AWStats and other log file analyzers is what search engines are 'crawling' your site which Google Analytics does not show.
