I'm fairly new to analog but I have already found it very helpful. I have two questions.
Is there a way that I can track where visitors go on my site once they arrive at a particular page? Or alternatively, can I backtrack from a particular page to see where they came from up to the point they arrived at my site? Of course this is a complicated thing as every user will explore in a different order. But there must be some predominant patterns. A second question I have is whether I can get reports of search queries with multiple words. I found a (very helpful) config file on the analog website that gives a list of the top search queries, but it breaks them down into individual words. I'm pretty sure that most of the people who find my site through a search engine used boolean queries. For example, the top two search terms for my whole site are "santa" and "cruz". But I'm pretty sure few of the visitors searched for those words individually, rather using santa and cruz "santa cruz" santa cruz (on google, where an AND is implied). In fact I think the top phrase used for my site is "jobs in santa cruz" - and they found my page http://www.goingware.com/localjobs/ , a list of santa cruz, california computer employers. You just can't tell that's the phrase from what I've been able to do with analog so far. I think it's great I'm helping people find jobs, but I'm a consultant, and I'd like to help clients find a good consultant like me! If I could tell what boolean searches potential clients are using to find me, maybe I can rephrase some of my site to encourage them to contact me too. Also, in analog's report, the search terms at the top of the list are dominated by the job seeker's I've attracted, and the terms seem to have bumped the people looking for a consultant off the bottom of the report. I think if I could track the phrases rather than the individual terms then I'd be able to get a much clearer idea of how people are finding my consulting pages. Thanks, Mike -- Michael D.
