Do any Search Engines give daily results for search terms?

[nipplecharms1]

I tried to search for this answer and came up nil. Does G, Y, MSthen or any of the other smaller engines have a way to see how many people searched on a particular term yesterday, or a given date?

I know if I go into Overture for example, and click the "Keyword Selector Tool", I can find out how many searches there were for a give word or phrase last month. I was hoping to know now many people searched the phrase "body jewelry" yesterday, or Monday.

If anyone knows of a site or service, I would be interested.

Thanks gang,

Michael

Not that I know of. Your own logs can help you with this though.

Sorry. It seems like overture is your best bet, but the #'s aren't completely accurate at that. But I guess it's good enough. One would assume that if enough buzz is made about this, eventually the monster of a company we know as google will come up with some sort off tool for this. Good luck with your search.

Here's a link that can help with weekly trends, but not daily.

Lets you see the most popular searches for the week.

There are a couple of engines out there that will remember what you searched for. My engine keeps track of all searches for a thirty day period. I would not like to think of all the computer space that would be needed for a large engine. But, it could be done with ease if it had to be done.

I recommend checking into StatCounter:
statcounter.com - This tool has some useful things, and some worthless, but it DOES show the most relevant keyword searches I've noticed yet. Google's new part of it's "Webmaster Tools" has some useful things www.google.com/webmasters/

Hi Nipplecharms,

I'm wondering what your objective is in tracking the most popular search queries?

The leading query is going to vary widely depending on so many factors -- seasons, current events, holidays, etc.

I'm curious to know your reasoning.

I obviously did not articulate my question properly.

I want to know yesterday how many people searched for the term "nipple jewelry". Not what was the most searched term, not what is more popular by region.

If I enter the term above, I want to know that yesterday 36 people searched on Gozizzle. So when I do look at my logs Jaan and I can say, oh, "15 of those people from 'G' came to my site."

My hits are about 3/4 of what they were last week. I want to know why. I am still high on all my key terms. Nipple jewelry, #1. Body Jewelry, #19 (very very competitive word.) Pu$$y Shaver, #4. So we are doing OK on those. I think we are tanking on some of the lesser used terms that just might be the ones that convert. I have no way to track conversions. I have asked that question here before with varying degrees of results.

Short of moving to the Yahoo Merchant Platform that has great tracking, I am not sure now to accomplish the conversion goals.

So, again I am still looking for that elusive site where if I type in a phrase, I can find out how many people searched for that phrase yesterday.

If a site can tell you what they did last month, they MUST be able to tell you by day.

Or maybe I have to put down the Vodka bottle this early in the morning!

Thanks all

Michael

Hi Nipplecharms,

Ah! The light begins to dawn!!

I agree with Incredible, I don't think there is such a service. Wouldn't it be nice though!

You already know this I'm sure, but I think the best you could do is track your site visitors and what their search terms were using your traffic logs (or Awstats) and see how many didn't convert and which term is most popular.

Peace

I really cannot tell who converts. I do use Awstats and another one that tells me what terms were used.

What I do not know is A) what terms am I missing and B) if 200 people search "nipple jewelry" but I am getting only 10 of them, and I am in position #1, there is something wrong.

Just free thinking and looking for help.

thanks

Hi Nipplecharms,

I'm no expert, but could you get IP info or user-agent info for each conversion using server side functions and compare them to your logs and see what search terms match? Would that be of any help? Would that be feasible or worth the effort?

Also, if there are 200 people searching for 'nipple jewelry', you get 10, are ranked #1, and 190 other sites get 1 hit each, out of a possible 2000 sites, I'd say you were way ahead of the pack!!

Hey Parrot!

No offense but when I read this I kept hearing Charlie Brown's teacher in the backgound! LMAO.

Huh?

Hey Nipplecharm,

I'm asking hoping you'll tell me!

I'm not tracking things that closely yet, but I know my day is coming so I'm asking questions to see what answers I get.!!

Peace

[nipplecharms1]

Not sure what SERVER-SIDE funtions are.

The Doctor is in. 5 cents! :)

Again not daily but will show popularity of a phrase:

WOW thanks. Look at the spike during the "Super Bowl Malfunction." But when I tried nipple jewelry it claims nothing since '04.

But this helps. the regions do show where most of our customers come from.

thanks seiretto.

Hi Nipplecharms,

By server-side, I meant PHP or ASP. I know that PHP can ask for the remote address of a browser that asked for a page. Awstats reflects that data. I was hoping there was a way to track which IPs went with which conversions went with which search terms.

Wha Wha Wha Wha ;-)

Thanks Seiretto for the Google Trends link. This is definitely more user friendly.

You can write it in PHP (or ASP if you really need to).
We use it to track sales and where each originates (nothing worse than not knowing where a sale came from).

We published a simple JavaScript tracker a few years ago here:
http://www.seiretto.com/newsletters/...e%20viewed.php

If anyone is interested I could release a PHP version that would track search terms with ips?

[okparrothead]

Thanks Seiretto,

I'll keep your site on file.

Peace
