Does anyone know of a good free log file analyzer that can show where
a
visitors entering via a search term browsed?
Ex. User xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx entered via a search for "puppies"
visited /lab.html
visited /care/fleas.html
visited /beagle.html
ended visit
All of the free ones I know of only show a list of search terms - not
any type of tracking.
Boy, wouldn't the Government LOVE to subpoena Google for that info!!!
Generally speaking, there's no way to track what links a user actually
clicks on in search results. Once a page has been delivered to the end
user, clicking on
http://www.some_web_site_listed_in_search_results.com
won't notify the search engine that it's been clicked.
HOWEVER, if your search engine has a CGI script that redirects links,
you can track it. An <A> tag such as:
<a
href="http://www.search_engine.com/track_my_ass.cgi?http://www.some_web_site_listed_in_search_results.com";>
some_web_site_listed_in_search_results</a>
will return to the search engine server (or wherever you want) where it
can be logged and then forwarded to the actual destination.
So, it *is* possible, but the system needs to be set up ahead of time...
