Below is the php code using which you can receive a email when Google directs a visitor to your website. Using this you will also come to know serch keywords used i.e. what exactly visitors searched when he/she was redirected to your site. If you are using WordPress self-hosted blog, then you can put this code somewhere in header.php or footer.php file of your current theme.
<?php
// Script to email you when Google refers traffic to your site.
$name = "Your Name";
// add your name here
$email_address = "abc@xyz.com";
// add your email address here
$keywords = "";
$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ((
stristr($referrer, "google")) && (stristr($referrer, "search")) ) {
parse_str($referrer, $output);
$keywords = $output['q'];
$email_message = "Hi $name, A visitor just arrived to your site after searching for '$keywords'. ($referrer)";
mail ("$email_address", "Google referred a visitor", "$email_message");
}
?>
