Great questions KC. Google is changing and testing so many things these days so everything isn't like it were earlier.

To answer your questions:
The filters should be in the order as they are presented in this blog post.

You can track everything within the same profile. However, I had to change the tracking of Full Referral Path. Instead of sending the output to Campaign Content, I'm also sending this output to User Defined. This means that the User Defined report can be messy.

The reason for sending the output to User Defined is that Google Analytics stopped showing organic URLs in my reports when the output were sent to Campaign Content.

Regarding your question about Google Instant. I haven't done extensive tests, but from what I can see the answer to your question is yes, it should also work with Google Instant.

So, We have 4 filters and 2 segments. What order should these 4 filters be in?

Or are you showing 2 separate profiles that could be created to achieve the same thing?

Thank you for your time and attention.

PS does this still work with google instant?

The solution is tracking the ranking the search phrase had when the user clicked on it.

If the ranking go up - or down, these changes will be reflected in your analytics reports, but only if the search phrase sends you visitors and ranking information.

Good article, but I have one question. How does the rankings in analytics change when the actually SE rankings shift up- or downwards?
