Hello,

trying to figure out how to track the real search query the user typed in.
I have an e commerce site and would like to know exactly which term brought the sale.
Was looking for a long time for answers and couldn't find any thing.
Is it possible? Is there a technical way to do that?

Thanks!
Joe

If you setup Google Analytics it will give you a report of what keywords triggered what conversions.

You can track this data on your website, but it doesn't always work.

Some browsers will send to the server the referral URL that directed the visitor to the landing page of your website. Internet Explorer often strips this referral URL, but Firefox and others will include it if the users settings allow it.

Google Analytics seems to be able to figure out what the keywords were using the JavaScript inserted tags.

You want the Search Query Report. You could also look into your log files.

I have GA filters and know the AW reports, however, it seems that a lot of the info is missing, and I can't make a connection between a specific user's query and the purchases.
I know there are softwares that have this info.
Any clue?
