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.

Hi everyone. We have had a new site up for over a year now. When I search site:sqlsentry.net the old url still shows up and while those pages are redirected to .com I'd like to get the .net URL's out of google forever. What is the best way I can go about that?

Big Drop in Traffic, No change in Position
Penguin 2.0 was a great update for one of my biggest client. A website that was using terrible black hat techniques and ranked first on the most important keyword in my clients niche got kickt from the SERP's and my client jumped from 4th to 1st. The jump in traffic was enormous and on top of that 5% of the traffic converted instead of the usual 2,5%- 3% on other traffic. Untill July 2nd. Traffic from the keyword dropped by 80% while we were still in position 1, after a lot of digging I thaught I found what caused it, Google booted the keyword from their autofill. My question is if anyone has seen a removal from tthe autocomplete making that big of a difference in search volume.

How can I get an XML sitemap in the order that I want?
I use Screaming Frog and Xenu on a daily basis and I use them for sitemap creation, but the functionality is limited. With huge sites, it's really easy to create an ordered list of URLs for the sitemap in excel or word and upload that to Screaming Frog to crawl. The only problem is that it won't export the sitemap in the order that I uploaded it. Does anybody know of a tool that will do this or am I doomed to sit an manually arrange the URLs the way I want?

Is there some tool or person that can review my site and tell me what to improve on?
I'm using the SEO on page tool from this site but I get no help on how to fix the problem. I'm looking for the all in 1 tool that tells me everything about my site (description, keyword density, what to improve, what to add, what to remove, etc). If someone would be kind enough to review it for me, that would be great !
