Recently only i came to know that these are encrypted searches by the users.

Google is making everything better for their users!

Talk about being misleading. I think that a large percentage of this information is to get you to upgrade. We can’t think that Google is not concerned about making money. Google is a business. They have they eyeballs; they have the audience. Thus, unfortunately, you can’t say I am going to go away from Google. That is not an option. Google can say whatever they want, at the end of the day, they know what power they have. It is foolish to think that Google has the bloggers/marketers best interests at heart.

We’re seeing more and more people coming in with the keyword “Encrypted”. It’s effecting the keyword monitoring that we do. I also can see this in the “Not Provided” in GA. This is not good and degrades the analytics.

My “Not Provided” is about 20% of my keywords now. This is not good.

Hey Gerry

I don’t know how you arrive at 4.59% – 1129 out of about 10,000 visits = 11%. You have to calculate it as a percentage of organic search traffic, not total traffic. Otherwise if you’re doing really well with other traffic sources it obscures how much data you’ve lost.
