: How to see the searched terms that refer to my homepage I have put the google analytics script in my page, but I need to know the search terms that users use in order to refer to my page.

@Gonzalez347

Go to your Google Analytics account and do the following:

1) Acquisition - All Traffic - Channels

2) Select Organic Search

3) Add a Secondary Dimension - Landing Page

3) Use the Advanced Filter and set it to Include - Landing Page - Exactly Matching - / or in your case /~u5410055/



You should now see all of your keywords for the home page.

Keep in mind that any searches that are done by users logged into their G account will not show up and will be labeled (not provided). There is a work around for that so that you can at least see the pages those unknown keywords lead to. You will have to setup a filter for your view. Got to Admin - > Select the view you want this to apply to - Filter - New Filter. Below is a screen shot of settings:

You should actually use Google Webmaster Tools for this kind of information. You can connect your website with GWT using your Google Analytics account and then just wait for a couple of days until the search queries will be shown in Search Traffic -> Search Analytics

You can put in a filter for just the home page while still showing queries:

You can actually get a good answer without google analytics.

If you scan your site through a keyword density analyzer, you'll find out important sets of keywords you can use in google search to find your site.

I use textalyser.net to check my keyword density. Another beauty is that it has a prominence measurement that shows how important groups of words are in your page.

Also, you may use google webmaster tools search analytics section to see what people are searching for in order for your site to appear in their search results pages. Also, you'll see the search engine position (rank) of your site based on the keywords.

I'm sure if you play with google (and other) tools long enough, you'll get a better idea which of your pages pop up depending on search terms.
