Google Analytics To Speak Bing Soon

Jun 8, 2009 at 4:58pm ET by Barry Schwartz

The Google Analytics Blog announced that they are currently adding support for Bing in the search referral reports. I actually noticed Bing showing up in the Google Analytics search referral reports this morning, on a limited basis.

Google added that if you want Bing to show up now, you can add a custom configuration to the Google Analytics tracking code for Bing. That looks like this:

pageTracker._addOrganic(”bing”, “q”);

Thanks for the quick fix for Bing to show up in Google analytics reporting, I will wait for most clients for the Bing reporting to work well through this new fix.

I already see Bing as organic. Quick change!
