Keyword Tracking Problems

Alan36 · January 6th, 2004, 5:35 PM

My Cpanel does a very poor job of tracking keywords and keyword phrases surfers use to find me.

I have been doing a lot of tests lately by typing in various keyphrases at google and when I find a listing in the serps for my various pages and click through to my site I notice that my Cpanel very rarely shows these keyphrases in the keyword stats section, it's so innacurate that it makes tracking keyword popularity a joke.

What could be the cause of this ?

Did u click the update now link when looking at the stats page?

Alan36 · January 6th, 2004, 7:18 PM

Yes, I allways update every time I check my stats, (about once a day), two days ago I found my site around 20 times in googles listings for various keyword phrases yet according to Cpanels keyword tracking section it did'nt show even 1 instance of any of the phrases I know was used to find my site !

If this is the best Cpanel can do I will have to find another host as tracking keywords is vital to targeting visitors

well keep in mind its not Cpanel that records the stats.. Your prob getting your stats from Awstats or Analog..

I perfer to use Analog myself.. which one are u using?

I have been using awstats because analog is an even bigger joke on my account , (the keyword section has'nt been updated for 3 months)

Even so the tracking system of awstats should'nt be this bad

Alan, I do not know why you are having this problem. Awstats is usually very reliable about things like this. I have never had a problem on any of the sites I run. Nor have I heard anyone else with this problem.

If you would, PM me your login information, and some of the keywords you are searching for through your site, and I will look into it and see if I can figure out the cause. It is just weird behavior...
