      I was recently checking out our analytics keywords stats and I am seeing traffic noted as google organic traffic coming from India.

      When I do a search on http://www.google.co.in/ for those terms using a "incognito" browser with no cookies, and not logged in I don't see our site in the first 100 results.

      The same thing happens on google.com if I try to set the account in india.

      I am trying to see if this might be an issue with an adwords campaign not getting auto-tagged (auto-tagging is turned on in adwords), or if there is something else going on. The keyword campaign gets many more clicks than analytics shows for this organic option so perhaps it is an odd rare occurrence.

      I am glad to have the traffic, but I want to be sure it is actually tracking correctly as organic, or if PPC is not tagging for some reason 😉

      Any suggestions or thoughts?

        I'm not sure what you mean by setting the account in India. If you go to advanced search there is an option for region.

        Google does regional stuff based on your IP address, so cookies won't make a difference.

        You can use this URL. Just replace the word keyword with your actual keyword, or key+word for multiple words.

          Yeah I was going to the account, and trying to set the search location to India locations, but since it was .com it wasn't going to work.

          I was trying to find a way to make it ignore my IP as well. Either way I still didn't see the site on the indian version of Google, when not logged in (e.g. no history to change my results).

          If I am reading the google custom search notes correctly your URL would have google show me Indian sites, but our site is a .com in the US being clicked on by people in India, so I am not positive it would work for what I am looking at. I appreciate the help though 🙂
