I am developing a web site. The use can enter the website through goggle Search. I need to track the no of counts of user who had entere the website through google.
You could check the "REFERER" HTTP header of the incoming request. It contains the URL of the page where the link was located, which would be something like "http://www.google.com/search?q=foobar...". It's not a reliable method, though, because the user/browser may choose not send this header (E.g., Firefox has setting to disable the sending of REFERER headers.)
