Hi
On GA, checking the stats for organic searches, the vast majority are listed as Keyword: (not provided). Does anyone know what/why that is?
Cheers
Bob
edit - done a little looking around via a well-known search engine and got some answers but if anyone has anything to add would still be appreciated. Ta.
Hi freebetsfreetips,
It means the user was signed in to google when they clicked the search result.
Google says it hides this information for user privacy reasons.

It sucks and there is nothing much you can do about it! I miss seeing all the keywords
often wondered that myself, and the answer is now below. cheersQuote:

Hi Bob,
Organic searches are the results of the search engine spiders crawling and indexing the web. When someone visits a search engine and searches
for something they are given a list of sites. Some are paid advertisements and some are "organic" search results.
I remember when they first changed it, everyone was trying to think of 'ways round it' but I am yet to read a decent oneQuote:

You can try and have a guess based on the landing page, but that's about it.
There is a tactic for removing that phrase and making the keywords visible but you have to again Google to over-Google it ! ;)
