I realise it is not possible for you to parse keywords from ALL engines but I am keen to do this. I can use the data from the Came From screen and parse the keywords myself with a little home-grown VB prog.

What would be really useful would be to have the landing page included, perhaps optionally, on this screen.

Hopefully
:idea:

Yes that's a good idea alright.

Well, I see there's a landing page that is shown on the Kywords Analyisis page, but it doesn't include the full url. The domain/subdomain root portion is removed. That may make sense if the counter applied to one single domain or subdomain, however in my case I have a domain and several subdomains covered by the same counter. If the domain or subdomain root portion of the url is removed from the display it can turn into some guesswork as to which page is really being shown.

Example:


Num Search Engine .Query ....................................Landing Page
2 .....Google ........... songwriters forum .................../
1 .....Google ........... addtype audio windows media.. /streaming-audio.shtml
1 .....Yahoo ! .......... songwriters forum ................../
1 .....Google ........... songwriters forum ................../
1 .....Google ........... stream wma meta file............. /streaming-audio.shtml


Notice those landing pages with only a slash, they refer to the index page in either my root domain or the root of a subdomain. I will only know what it is when I hover over that link and watch the status bar.

Since the actual url is obviously available for the hyperlink, is it possible to have it displayed fully when I'm asking for URL instead of title? I know it's available when I drill down on the entry and further drill down on the subsequent entries, but that's a bit hidden.

I agree. I have the same issue. Part of our website is actually hosted on other servers with a different domain name. Unless someone actually looks at the URL, they won't realize they are on a different server. (We've tried hard to integrate the sections and most people never even notice.)

I didn't think about hovering over the link. I should have thought of that.

It would be nice if you had three options:

1. show title
i.e. Caribbean Recipes from Jamaica

2. show url (with or without everything after the ?)
i.e. /recipes/countryrecipe.asp
i.e. /recipes/countryrecipe.asp?country=Jamaica

3. show url with domain name (with or without everything after the ?)
i.e. http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/recipes/countryrecipe.asp
i.e. http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/recipes/countryrecipe.asp?country=Jamaica

Hope that's clear. :)

Unchecking Display URL not Title works actually.

Unchecking Display URL not Title works actually.
Yeah, I know. I just wanted to demonstrate how I wanted the finished product to look. :D
