Hello world,

Can anybody help me out setting up a solution for filtering out unwanted keywords in Webtrends. This is the issue.

I use webtrends.

We made a seach app like this
[justitieweb...]

And want to show the top 30 keywords in a webtrendsrapport.
Where we want to filter out the keyword het above for example.
We have allready setup de keywords.ini and is working fine.
Only the filtering out of unwanted words isn't working.
I tried with a exclude filter.
File and Url parameter.
File is zoeken.asp
Parameter name : target1=
Parameter Value : het

But isn't working.

Regards Cas.

I would consider a URL search and replace to take out: value=searchword&

Perhaps that will address the webtrends issue better. Filters get weird, I prefer to eliminate certain data from my log, or if you are using the newest version you could at least split those records to a separate log.

Worth noting though is that if you do the search and replace, then you still track the page in your other metrics, this is more favorable then removing the entire row for that reason.

Dear Joe,

Thanx for your reply.
How can I do that. We are using Webtrends Proff Suite 5.
