This script will show the visitor to your web site, which keywords they searched to arrive on your site as well as the search engine used. No doubt you have landed on a site, and it's displayed something like:

"Hi, i see you came from Google looking for Information About SEO so i hope you enjoy our site"

Where the bold text is the engine and keywords used. I've found this can boost pageviews and time spent on the site as it delivers a more personalized message to the visitor, and gives some level of interaction beyond just presenting them with a default page that everyone else sees.

So here is a script to show the keywords and engine used by the visitor:

searchcode.php

PHP Code:

<?php

class search_keywords
{
var $referer;
var $search_engine;
var $keys;
var $sep;
function search_keywords()
{
$this->referer = ”;
$this->sep = ”;

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] OR $_ENV['HTTP_REFERER'])
{
$this->referer = urldecode(($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : $_ENV['HTTP_REFERER']));
$this->sep = (eregi(’(?q=|?qt=|?p=)’, $this->referer)) ? ‘?’ : ‘&’;
}
}

function get_keys()
{
if (!empty($this->referer))
{
if (eregi(’www.google’, $this->referer))
{
preg_match(”#{$this->sep}q=(.*?)\&#si”, $this->referer, $this->keys);
$this->search_engine = ‘Google’;
}
else if (eregi(’(yahoo.com|search.yahoo)’, $this->referer))
{
preg_match(”#{$this->sep}p=(.*?)\&#si”, $this->referer, $this->keys);
$this->search_engine = ‘Yahoo’;
}
else if (eregi(’search.msn’, $this->referer))
{
preg_match(”#{$this->sep}q=(.*?)\&#si”, $this->referer, $this->keys);
$this->search_engine = ‘MSN’;
}
else if (eregi(’www.alltheweb’, $this->referer))
{
preg_match(”#{$this->sep}q=(.*?)\&#si”, $this->referer, $this->keys);
$this->search_engine = ‘AllTheWeb’;
}
else if (eregi(’(looksmart.com|search.looksmart)’, $this->referer))
{
preg_match(”#{$this->sep}qt=(.*?)\&#si”, $this->referer, $this->keys);
$this->search_engine = ‘Looksmart’;
}
else if (eregi(’(askjeeves.com|ask.com)’, $this->referer))
{
preg_match(”#{$this->sep}q=(.*?)\&#si”, $this->referer, $this->keys);
$this->search_engine = ‘AskJeeves’;
}
else
{
$this->keys = ‘Not available’;
$this->search_engine = ‘An Unknown’;
}
return array(
$this->referer,
(!is_array($this->keys) ? $this->keys : $this->keys[1]),
$this->search_engine
);
}
return array();
}
}
?>

Save the above script as searchcode.php and upload it to your /public_html/ directory. Now use the following in your page:

PHP Code:

<?php
 require_once(’./searchcode.php’);
 $keys =& new search_keywords();
$keys = $keys->get_keys();
 if (count($keys))
{
echo “Hi, i see you came from <b>$keys[2]</b> looking for  <b>’$keys[1]‘</b> so i hope you enjoy our site!”;
}
 ?>

This will detect and display the following search engines:

Google
Yahoo
MSN
AllTheWeb
Looksmart
AskJeeves

If you want to customize the output, you just need to edit this part:

PHP Code:

echo “Hi, i see you came from <b>$keys[2]</b> looking for  <b>’$keys[1]‘</b> so i hope you enjoy our site!”;

Hi my name is D.K.

[kermit-frog]

Hi there, I just found this script. just what I want to get my landing page customised with the visitors keywords to say "we provide the best <keyword used> " etc in increase my conversion, or least test to see if it does.

I just cant get the code to work.

I uploaded searchcode.php to my public folder. also chmod to 777 just incase it needs execute? (didnt work before chmod as 644)

I also put the code
<?php
require_once(’./searchcode.php’);
$keys =& new search_keywords();
$keys = $keys->get_keys();
if (count($keys))
{
echo “Hi, i see you came from <b>$keys[2]</b> looking for <b>’$keys[1]‘</b> so i hope you enjoy our site!”;
}
?>

in the body of my page.

also checked that php is not set to safe-mode on my server which might restrict it. (??)

when I load my webpage in the browser is shows

get_keys(); if (count($keys)) { echo “Hi, i see you came from $keys[2] looking for ’$keys[1]‘ so i hope you enjoy our site!”; } ?>

So looks like code is not working.
any ideas really greatly apreciated.
manythanks
