I need to dynamically insert a search engine keyword into any website and from any search engine. I want these keywrods to be dynamically inserted in a affilaite link or my tracking link so I can see what keywords are being triggered to either land on my website and make them click. I found seperate php scripts for google and yahoo none really for all three or all search engines. I want to see if there is a php script that is out there whcih pulls the search query from the search url and grab that keyword and insert it anywahere in the page or link someone searches: blue widget from yahoo msn google etc goes to my page: dynamically inserts blue widget into aff link ?subid=blue widget if no keyword leave blank thanks
$se=seReferer(); function seReferer($ref = false){ $SeReferer = (is_string($ref) ? $ref : $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); if( //Check against Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask and others preg_match( "/[&\?](q|p|w|searchfor|as_q|as_epq|s|query|sTerm|Keywords)=([^&]+)/i", $SeReferer,$pcs) ){ if(preg_match("/https?:\/\/([^\/]+)\//i",$SeReferer,$SeDomain)){ $SeDomain = trim(strtolower($SeDomain[1])); $SeQuery = $pcs[2]; if(preg_match("/[&\?](start|b|first|stq)=([0-9]*)/i",$SeReferer,$pcs)){ $SePos = (int)trim($pcs[2]); } } } if(!isset($SeQuery)){ if( //Check against DogPile preg_match( "/\/search\/web\/([^\/]+)\//i", $SeReferer,$pcs) ){ if(preg_match("/https?:\/\/([^\/]+)\//i",$SeReferer,$SeDomain)){ $SeDomain = trim(strtolower($SeDomain[1])); $SeQuery = $pcs[1]; } } } // We Do Not have a query if(!isset($SeQuery)){ return false; } $OldQ=$SeQuery; $SeQuery=urldecode($SeQuery); // The Multiple URLDecode Trick to fix DogPile %XXXX Encodes while($SeQuery != $OldQ){ $OldQ=$SeQuery; $SeQuery=urldecode($SeQuery); } //-- We have a query return array( "Se"=>$SeDomain, "Query"=>$SeQuery, "Pos"=>(int)$SePos, "Referer"=>$SeReferer ); } PHP: at the top of the page then echo $se['Query'] ; // prints the query string (keyword) echo $se['Se'] ; // prints the search engine echo $se['Pos'] ; // prints the page number (untested) echo $se['Referer'] ; // prints the entire referring page PHP: Not my script, found it somewhere but it's worked awesome in the past. Hope this helps everyone out.
Yep, I remember having a joygaism when I first ran across it. You can easily use the keywords extracted to insert into your tracking stuff ... I might suggest you trying to mask it however as aff networks are known to use the data that affiliates provide for their own good (eg steal your keywords). You can easily insert those words into a db with a random interger. Pass the random # to the network instead of the keyword. this will keep your words anonymous
