  • Publication number: 20140095427
    Abstract: Search query analytic reports may assist a website operator in understanding web traffic patterns in relation to the website. A search query analytic report may be generated by receiving web search data for a website from multiple data sources and assigning the web search data into multiple website-specific categories of the website. The web search data is then analyzed based on the website-specific categories to generate the search query analytic report. Server status reports may provide details on errors in the indexing of web pages stored on a server that hosts a website. A server status report may be generated by analyzing the server log data to determine web page indexing behaviors of the one or more web crawlers with respect to the web pages stored on the server.
