Search Analytics update in Google Webmasters Tools? Where can we find search queries bringing traffic to website?
-
I just got up and see Search Analytic's being updated today totally. Their is no option to see old reports. As Search Analytics only share 999 keywords.
Whats next now?
How can a webmaster finds all search queries bringing traffic to his website?
Any paid or free tool?
Google Analytic's > Acquisition > Search engine optimization > search queries will this area helps?Whole question revolves around. Any good tool that will help you find all the queries bringing traffic to my website?

For what it is worth, I'm in the US and seeing the 999 limit on all my accounts and domains. So, I guess that means the clock is ticking and if you don't have that limit yet, then you better get downloading fast!

This is where moz is great - as anyone in the US who needs that data - now knows they have till midnight tonight to capture it.

Yes, I'm in US. That's why at the moment I'm like "What are you guys talking about?!"

Charles - google have killed off the old search queries on search analytics in WMT's.
I assume it is a midnight rollout - ticking over on 0001 am on 1 September in whatever country you are in.
ie in Australia it has gone. If you are in the US you probably still have it until midnight, so yours may not have changed. I was working on it - when it disappeared!

You are correct that the Search Analytics queries report does limit down to 999 queries. However, when you load the Acquisition -> Search Engine Optimization -> Queries report in Google Analytics, you may be able to see more than 999 terms. I just double checked in a dozen or so accounts and all reports in Google Analytics were plus 999, though that may or may not be changing based on Google's new updated to the Analytics report. Also, keep in mind though that there is a limit to how long the data would stick around - for clients I work with ongoing, I export the reports monthly just so I don't lose the limited data you do have.
As Charles said, though, this data about queries isn't always reliable and it is limited in what you can get out of this data. That said, if you are using it for a general idea of what terms people found you for and what pages were related to which term, it can be helpful. Certainly not as good as the pre-"not provided" days and you obviously can't rely on it to calculate ROI, but it at least gives you an idea of terms and a relative idea of performance.
As for other ways to get around not provided and find those queries, here are some articles with some good tips and tricks:

That literally happened 25 minutes ago, good pick up. You can not do on webmaster anymore. Google did say the transition was in August. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/new-search-analytics.html
On tools - none are accurate to the level of webmaster. You could try similarweb, ahrefs etc. but I would not recommend.
I suggest you still use WMT's - Though 1000 is the limit - you can partially get around it, on the actual keyword. If you go to queries and look for any keyword ie a keyword containing "travel" - your limit is still 1000. So the 1000'th word for travel would likely the 20,000 word for the website. Does that make sense, so it has to be done by keyword category now.
Hope that assists.

Hi.
Not sure what you're talking about, since my Search Console (GMT) is the same as last week.
To see queries there, go to Search Traffic -> Search Analytics.
And yes, the Google analytics does tell you the same data. However, this data on queries is very inaccurate. I'd never use it.
About tools - ahrefs has that. Under positions explorer -> organic keywords.

Massive unexplained organic traffic drop; disappeared from Google
Hi there,
Search Behavior | | katelynroberts
Our site has experienced a huge organic traffic drop, specifically from Google. The drop occurred on Feb 19 and I've got no clue why it happened. We have not made any significant changes to the website and it doesn't look like there was an algorithm update last week. We don't have any Google penalties or indexing issues noted, and the drop isn't specific to any particular segment/region/keyword. What am I missing? Any advice or insight is super duper appreciated. Our site is a Wordpress/WooCommerice e-commerce site with a blog and long-standing #1 ranks for keywords related to our main product offering. Screen Shot 2024-02-26 at 3.12.25 PM.png

When Googling site:mydomain.com what does listing order tell us?
To find all the pages on my site that are indexed by Google I can search using site:mydomain.com and it gives pages of results. But what does the order of results relate to? Is it page rank or strength? My list of pages doesn't appear to be in order of strength. And it's definitely not by age or alphabetical...

Can I use Google Analytics to find out actual times of visits during the day??
Hi, I'm a newbie at all this - I hope someone can help me. We're thinking of running time-specific offers to try and convert as many of our customer site visits as possible e.g. 15% discount if you call between, say, 2 and 5pm. It would be really helpful to me to find out what times of day people are visiting our site. I can't seem to find a way to do this on Google Analytics. Can anyone help? Thanks so much Sue
