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.

Is there a tool for finding shared interests?
Do you know know if a tool exists that shows shared common interests? For example, people interested in Soccer are also interested in Cricket, beer and Scarlett Johansson. The data might could come from social media or search queries. Anyone seen a tool that does anything like this?

Using Google Analytics to See What Time of Day Visitors View My Site
Hi folks, My company has Google Analytics setup for all of our websites, but I am a bit stumped on something.

Safari Has Top Browser in Google Analytics?
I find this hard to believe but it looks to me as though Safari has jumped ahead as our top browser in the month of January. At first glance I would think it was combining mobile safari with desktop safari numbers but then on the 5th spot I see Safari(in-app) which after looking into could be multiple things from safari mobile, bookmarked pages, or Chrome for ios. Just looking for thoughts on this, are others seeing a large uptick in Safari traffic for desktops?

Massive Google Drop on two sites!
Hi All, We have experienced a massive Google drop on Two of our eCommerce websites in the past week. From Feb - July we were ranked 2 for various key words In Aug we dropped to 8 In September to 96 if not lower. We pay for monthly link building and add unique product info each week (but not much new content such as articles or blogs). My SEO guys has not been that helpful and just sent me a link to the Panda update blog, which doesn't mean a great deal to me. Obviously this has had a massive effect on business, and ideally i need to diagnose the problem and find a new startegy on moving forward, so most likely looking for a for a new SEO guy/company as well. I need someone is proactive, communicates well and make constant suggestions about moving forward not just link building. One thing I would like to add is these two site have a different homepage, category and range structure, but do share some if the 2000 product database. Can anyone help? Any advice on sorting this would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks M

Internal Site Search Analysis
Hi Folks, I have about 6,000 internal site search phrases that I want to analyze. There are many variations and duplicates that have similar intent within the data, e.g. Employment, Employment Opportunities, Employment Application. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can aggregate the data to get an idea of user intent. There's a lot of long-tail in there. The data does not come from Google's site search tool. I just have a spreadsheet of the terms and the number of times they were searched. Cheers!

Spam like visits to website
I am having a problem where I'm getting an enormous amount of unique visitors that bounce from a small area in Oregon even though we never market there. It appears to be some type of ping. It messes up our tracking and inflates the bounce rate. Is there a way to block this? I'm OK with any type of block because our reach is statewide in Florida. ANy feedback?

Google Places, NAP, multiple address with one phone number
How sensitive do you think the Google Places NAP algorithm is? If I have different Google Places pages for one client with multiple locations, but the same phone number for all locations with different addresses, will this hurt my Google Places ranking or organic webpage result?
