Google and Privacy


The privacy of Internet users is a major concern for Google, which is why the giant has announced that its search engine to provide secure search users logged into your Google account . Any registered user to access Google.com will be redirected to the secure version https://www.google.com.

However, searches involve using secure SSL encryption is in queries made by users in the search. This means that search terms used by users are not visible in the eyes of any web analytics tool, such as Google Analytics.

However, the visits will be attributed to organic search, only instead of the keyword will be displayed "not provided".

Google believes that this change will affect only a small part of the visits received, though not entirely clear what proportion of traffic will be affected.

For the amount of traffic affected will have to use Google Analytics (or any other web analytics program) to collect data and to estimate the number of visitors "not provided" received. Based on this data may be established to what extent affected the data collected by the analysis tool.

On the other hand, search queries will still be available on the lists provided by Google Webmaster Tools, which provide queries that brought traffic in the last month.
