Page Rank

What is your rank in search results?
We've updated the Google Analytics Search Engine Optimisation reports to now reflect the first position of a link to your site. Previously we reported the average position of all links to your site. Look under Traffic Sources > Search Engine Optimisation to see how your site rankings were updated. Learn More

Search Engine list expanded
The "Search Engines" report in Google Analytics is auto-populated with a list of known search engines. Periodically,


we update our list to reflect new or more popular engines. You can always add any search engines we missed into your tracking code snippet, but it's nicer if they're automatically included. We recently added: http://rakuten.co.jp, http://biglobe.ne.jp, http://goo.ne.jp, http://www.startsiden.no/sok
