We’re noticing over the past 3 months that more and more people are coming in with encrypted keywords in their search. We see this in our GA. We also use an app to monitor real time visitors and more and more people are coming in with their search words encrypted. I assume that since this is only for logged in users (Google), more and more people are signing up for Google.

I’m very disappointed in this for now our keyword monitoring is being degraded.

Thank you Dali.

As I mention, I’m not thrilled about the (not provided) double standard but I’d rather find solutions rather than fume about it the ‘problem’. There’s enough data there (and elsewhere) to allow us to do our jobs. Thanks again for your comments both here and on Google+ Dali.

Hey AJ,

It is nice to read an article that provides some solutions to getting around the (not provided) keywords issue. I admittedly was upset about it, but then got over it. So simple a recommendation – taking a closer look at your Google organic traffic by Landing Page – and it makes sense. Instead of being mad about it, you can find ways to work around it. Thank you for the insights, AJ.

And you cracked me up with the “I’ll take no for 800 Alex.”

Well written. I couldn’t agree more.

Still having data is better than nothing, and if you really feel that you can’t comprehend the missing data, it would be a sign that you don’t really have a strategy for your rankings for the given landing pages, so back to basics and start with that, and your intuition combined with the existing data, will reveal the true nature.
