Extract Search Query from Referral?

[96ukssob]

F-ing Google and their privacy, it's so difficult to find something that works to pull out the search query (what someone typed in) and post that into a hidden form.

Here is what I'm trying to do, any help would be appreciated and/or I can drop you a few $100 AdWords vouchers

Someone search for XYZ and goes to our site, they mostly land on the home page or a product type page, or even a squeeze page but unlikely. I want the search query to carry though (cookie?) and then be placed into a hidden form field on the signup page.

This works just fine with AdWords and Bing, but not organic.

Any advice?

this works with organic if surfer isnt logged in his google account.
if he is logged in then the query gets encrypted means we wont be able to know it.

you can check stats of extremetracking of any sites, it can detect the not logged in users query ,


its very easy.
get referrrer url find the pattern and catch the query then store it in either cookie or a session variable, and on signup page echo.....buahahaha
good luck.,
theres this function too for stripping queries from all major search engines referer url.

Google has been trying to stop this behavior for the last few years.
mainly due to privacy concerns.

Thats the problem, is a majority of our traffic IS logged into Google and they hide the query

And that's impossible to get the query. But for those not logged in, it shouldn't be hard to extract that data.

there is no solution for this, even in analytics it doesnt shows the keywords.

unless you break their encrypted code.
