You have a lot of data and some of it is hiding
It starts with Nicolaus Copernicus
In his day, the 16th century, geocentric theory was accepted as the
most logical way to describe universe, and it all revolved around us
He took his theory, heliocentricity, to the grave, and scientific
progress briefly suffered

Tip #2: Mapping Universal Search
http://faenasphere.com
Hours after Einstein's death on April 18th 1955, an autopsy was conducted by Dr. Thomas
Stoltz Harvey. This was not your ordinary autopsy as it involved the heisting of the most
famous brain in history
Just as Copernicus kept his theory from all but a few, Dr. Harvey took the fate of the
scientific study into his own hands by deciding which scientist (many of them his friends)
should receive which pieces of brain

HE KEPT A FEW CHUNKS FOR

We have a Problemo

Hey Tim, check
this out! I hope
you speak
Spanish.
As search marketers we like to share the
love, such as this guy who first wrote about VED

VED is still present even with Secure Search queries…
How awesome is that?
Put it to use in Google Analytics
STEP 1: SETUP A PROFILE
FILTER
Profile Setup – New Account Profile
Profile Setup – 2 New Filters
You’ll need 2 profile
filters to make this
work
Profile Setup – Universal Extract
Regex to capture VED
in referral string
Profile Setup – Universal Extract
Regex to capture CD in
referral string
Profile Setup – Universal Extract
We’ll use this in the
next filter: “VED – CD”
Profile Setup – Universal Display
Profile Setup – Universal Display
Calls the custom field
we just created: “VED
– CD”
Profile Setup – Universal Display
Extracts the referring
search engine
Profile Setup – Universal Display
Displays “(VED – CD)
Source” under traffic
sources > sources >
search > organic
/dimension = source
Profile Setup – Example
Put it to use in Google Analytics
STEP 2: SETUP ADVANCED
SEGMENTS
Advanced Segment Setup
Without Universal Information
Voilà! – With Universal Information
Put it to use in Google Analytics
STEP 3: GET IN THERE
Get in there: Example 1
Great News coverage in
Universal search
Get in there: Example 1
Not so great
Get in there: Example 2
CD = absolute position.
This will tell you which
Sitelink position is being
clicked
Get in there: Example 2
0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 30000
1

3
4
5
6
Visits
Position
Get in there: Example 2
Underperforming
Sitelink? Do something
about it!
Get in there: Example 2
If one of your Sitelinks is sucking, tell Google to
demote it in Webmaster Tools.
Q&A Time!
