Buried treasure in Google Analytics!
So I'm checking my stats in Google Analytics as I do each day. I've been spending a lot of time in the User Flow area recently due to some little problems but I digress.
After doing some exploring, I think I stumbled upon a buried treasure of keywords used to get to my pages! Yes, I was rubbing my eyes to see if it was true. So here's what I did:
- Scroll down to Acquisitions
- Open Search Engine Optimization
- Click on Queries
You should see all the queries people are using to access your site! Also, if you click on Landing Pages, you can also see what pages were viewed.
Why is this exciting for me? Because if I just click on Organic Keywords, I only get around 10 results. This method gave me over 200 results! That's a lot of keywords to check out!
This was an exciting find for me. I don't know if this has been previously mentioned here at WA. I hope I'm not late to the party. Or worse yet, that this information is useless. I hope that Jay Neill will weigh in on this. He's our resident Google Analytics expert!

That's great, Mgriffin! Use those keywords to create articles around those products!
that's a good idea....i'm still learning how to actually build a site, my main website is just a deals site and i'm not doing articles on it.
