How can I track traffic source for each user?
-
We received an enquiry on one of our landing pages and I am trying to track down where that user come from? Whether he came from social networks or search engines and if it is from search engine which keywords he used etc.. Does anyone know if there is any way I could see that?

Hi Sida,
I was running into the same issue, not being able to track the traffic source for any individual lead submission using Google Analytics. We couldn't find any affordable solutions that offered exactly what we were looking for, so we decide to build a lead tracking tool ourselves. Now we can identify the traffic source of each lead as well as update the status of the leads throughout the sales lifecycle, which thus finally enables us to get a much better grasp of the ROI of our marketing campaigns. Our tool is currently completely free, but we will likely add premium plans in the future for users who want extra features. Feel free to check it out at http://convertable.com and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for how to improve it.
Or if you'd rather simply use your existing form and track leads in Google Analytics, this blog post will show you how to do this with a little bit of coding - http://cutroni.com/blog/2009/03/18/updated-integrating-google-analytics-with-a-crm/

Be aware that for Google Analytics, part of the terms and conditions are that you do not track individual names and information back to a specific user, so be sure to examine the terms and conditions of your analytics software too.

Thanks Mihael and Tuzzell, i've digged into landing page and queries but it is really hard to spot but i estimate which one it could be.
Thanks again.

Data in analytics is depersonalised so you will not be able to associate behaviour to an individual user, unless as Michael says site usage is low enough for you te be able to spot the single user on your contact pages etc at the time of the contact form submission,
-
It depends how many visitors hit that landing page on that day. In Analytics if you drill down Content >> Landing Page to the page in question then Secondary Dimension select say keyword that may give you a clue.
Otherwise if you have an event set up for the contact from that specific page you can track back to the source.

Title tags seem to be going against Rand and suggestions here, what can I do? Can you help me please?
Hi to all, Ok so I have been beating myself up trying to figure out how to create a good ranking title for my websites homepage. My competition uses commas in its title tags But these are 100% against what Rand and many posts say here. I watched his whiteboard where he says don't use commas. There are posts that say, don't use commas. The biggest one is mortonbuildings(dot)com - followed by - lesterbuildings(dot)com They basically have the same title tags with commas. So what's the catch here? What am I missing? of course these sites have Great Domain Authority, but I swear what they are doing is going against what Rand and many other seo professional's are preaching. I thought it should read better for visitors? But to me it looks like keyword stuffing with a brand name? Any help is greatly appreciated to let me know if these commas and strategies are good to do? or bad news? Again thank you for your time to help a small business. Chris

Link to image (jpg) - Do I benefit? If not how can I?
Doing some research I found a .edu page linking directly to an image on my site. I can't see how this really benefits me so am wondering how to point the link juice somewhere useful, like the page on which the image resides. Can this be done? One idea that just occured to me would be to rename the image and set up a 301 in the .htaccess. Would that work?

What Sources to use to compile an as comprehensive list of pages indexed in Google?
As part of a Panda recovery initiative we are trying to get an as comprehensive list of currently URLs indexed by Google as possible. Using the site:domain.com operator Google displays that approximately 21k pages are indexed. Scraping the results however ends after the listing of 240 links. Are there any other sources we could be using to make the list more comprehensive? To be clear, we are not looking for external crawlers like the SEOmoz crawl tool but sources that would be confidently allow us to determine a list of URLs currently hold in the Google index. Thank you /Thomas

Client Can't Write His Own Articles
Hello, I'm helping a client put together an FAQ and 5 thorough, graphically stimulating, articles. The client can easily write his FAQ articles. However, he's not knowledgeable enough to write the 5 thorough articles, and hiring an expert to write them from scratch would cost a huge chunk of money. Should we have a writer put together an outline or rough draft and present that to the expert for editing? The client can afford that. Or what's the best way to move forward without costing a huge amount of money?
