Its very important to track the taste of your site's visitors so that you can make out what you should write to make them more satisfied with your content and to make them to visit your site again. A tracking of the keywords searched by your visitors on your site using your site's search box can also provide enough idea about the taste of your visitors and what they search most on your blog or site. Now you can track all those searched keywords by using google analytics. Here is how..How to track the keywords searched on your site or blog in detail using Google Analytics ?
1) Login to your Google Analytics account.
2) Click 'Edit' in the Website Profiles summary box for the profile you would like to enable Site Search for. As shown in the screenshot below :
3) Click 'Edit' from the 'Main Website Profile Information' section of the Profile Settings page. As shown in the screenshot below :
4) Select the 'Do Track Site Search' radio button in the Site Search section of the Edit Profile Information page. As shown in the screenshot below :
5) Enter your 'Query Parameter' in the field provided. Please enter only the word or words that designate an internal query parameter such as "term,search,query". Sometimes the word is just a letter, such as "s" or "q". You may provide up to five parameters, separated by a comma.
I would suggest to enter "term,search,query,s,q" as the five parameters. But also check your site's search parameter as it may be different from these five. As shown in the screenshot below :
6) Select whether or not you want Google Analytics to strip out the query parameter from your URL. Please note that this will only strip out the parameters you provided, and not any other parameters in the same URL. This has the same functionality as excluding URL Query Parameters in your Main Profile - if you strip the query parameters from your Site Search Profile, you don't have to exclude them again from your Main Profile.
