Now I just wonder; what’s next?

If the results were just the result of campaigns to pay, a lot of users probably would switch to another search engine, to display data collected according to a principle of meritocracy.

I bet if you pay them 150,000 a month for their pro edition you can see what keywords are being used :(

Just a little hint from this RFC 2616 right here:
Clients SHOULD NOT include a Referer header field in a (non-secure)
HTTP request if the referring page was transferred with a secure
protocol.

So it shouldnt be possible at all, to get a referer from https://www.google.com/ , though its kind of a very good information.

Think about that one for a minute.

We were able to figure out which keyword was “not provided” in GA for our second top-ranking search query. It wasn’t too hard to uncover but still, so annoying to even have to waste time figuring it out in the first place!

Honestly I’ve been feeling this way since it was first announced. What’s worse is people would refute me and say “well it’s not that much data”. Well now it’s increasing more and more and the geniuses that refuted my opinion forgot to realize that overtime the (not provided) is basically taking data from EVERY keyword query more or less, so this in time will equal to the majority of the queries jumbled together in a hodge-podge of missing data. If you hide 10% from 500 different keyword queries (of varying amounts), that’s a LOT of data that you aren’t seeing in the grand scheme of things. And that’s just an estimated number….how many people are signed into Google Plus, Gmail, AdWords, Google Music while searching? Increasing numbers I’m sure.

At any rate, I too find the issue frustrating and one has to stand in AWE of the hypocrisy of it; in the name of “safety” yet available for paid searchers….there’s nothing unsafe about any data from a query as far as I can tell and that being said if it were, I could pay some money and get the “unsafe” info I need anyway. Give me a break.

Sorry I would like to rant with you. Let’s form a coalition.

Google has been trying to kill off the SEO industry for quite a while now. Remember they killed off rankings as a meaningful metric when they forced personalized results on us all. They are hell bent on killing off SEO and small businesses at the expense of the big brands and their advertising cash cow.

Google wants great, new fresh content on websites. It kind of helps to know what people are searching for when they come to your site, so that way you know what content to provide. This makes it very hard when this information is hidden from us.
