WebSearch keywords

How do you find out what people are searching for?

Hi:

I've been an AdSense publisher for just over 3 months now. The results have been great.

We've just added WebSearch to a few pages to try it out.

Is there any way to find out what keywords people are using when searching from my site? I've looked through the reports, but can't find any references to keywords (just dates and channels).

Set the logo to an image on a web server for which you have access to logs. For users whose browser reports the referrering page, as long as your web server records it you can parse your logs for the search phrases.

I used my AdSense tracking PHP scripts to tell me what search terms people are using, when they are searching for those terms, and who referred them to the site.

Hi:

Thanks for the ideas. I'll probably start with the searching the logs approach.
