Hi

Is there a way that I can capture the referal string that a customer used to get to our blog? What I mean is, if someone went to Google and entered “car hire” and (somehow) found our blog is there a method of capturing the “Google” and “car hire”?

I have my own tracking software (written in ASP) that works fine on our website. If I could somehow upload that to our blog that would be great.

Thanks

Mick

If you have a WordPress.com blog, search engine referrer tracking is built in to the stats feature (Dashboard / Blog Stats).

Thanks tellyworth

(cute kid!)

I never noticed that option, thanks for pointing it out. (unfortunately not found via any search engines, just people clicking from our site).

All the best
