I wanted to be able to use Google Analytics to find referrals from the second (and greater) pages of Google search results (details at the end on how to do this for Yahoo! and Live). We find this data hugely useful during SEO projects because if you are ever getting decent traffic from page 2 (or any traffic from pages 3+) that indicates a huge opportunity for increased traffic.

Great post. I’ve been looking for a way to see this referral information in Google Analytics. You would think Google would have this information setup by default. It’s kind of pain to setup all these filters/profiles for all my websites. And even after I do it, I still miss out on some referrals (like if someone has their results set to display 100 at a time, etc). I would prefer to use another Analytics program, but now that Google links Adsense data with Analytics, it’s a must-use for Adsense sites. I wish Google would look at the user interface of Get Clicky analytics. They could learn something.

Looks a little complicated but very useful. I’m going to try it out!
