Does anyone else think it would be useful if the FQ stats would save the search terms used when the referrer is a search engine? I always find it useful to know what search terms people used to end up to my site. Might be a good suggestion for the rent-a-guru guys.

The stats do carry this information over for you to view.

If viewing your stats from the web.... Click the ALL Refers button... while viewing that list if you see an referrer you want to have a closer look at click on the link to it.

For example.. on my midnightmerchants site I can click ALL Refers and I see Altavista in the list... when I click on that link a new page is brought up with even more details...
In these details I see what keywords were used. If I click the links from this page I am brought to Altavista with those keywords already in the search box and I can not only see what keywords were used but also what sites showed up in the list next to mine http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks Deb, I guess I didn't get into that one "deep" enough! Other than that things are going well, the domains have been transferring quickly. The second one (which was requested on Saturday) is active today already. Thanks for your help.!
