Google Analytics "Undetermined" Keyword
-
Google analytics is suddenly showing a new keyword "undetermined".
Traffic Sources > Sources > All Traffic with the primary dimension set to Keyword. It's currently our 13th keyword and it is displayed without parentheses around that you see with (not provided) or (not set).
Anyone have any idea what this is?
Thanks!

My mistake Rod, but all's well that ends well, as it would appear sorted reading the response below
-
Sorry everyone -- we clarified.
It was a ppc display ad that was bringing in the "undetermined" keywords.
Thanks for your responses though.

I think he is saying that there is a new one, aside from (not provided), called "undetermined"
-
Not provided comes by way of Google protecting the privacy of those that have logged in and done a search which has resulted in the keyword bringing them to your site. It is hard to tell what that term is unfortunately and there is no definite way round it, however you might find this post interesting - be sure to read the comments as well - http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/how-to-analyze-google-analytics-not-provided-data
Hope this helps - sorry I couldn't be more specific for you...

In Google Analytics, what is the correct format for excluding traffic from single IP address?
In the past, when we've setup a filter to exclude a single IP address, we just entered the IP address normally. For example, 64.68.82.164. However, I was researching how to exclude a range of IP addresses and found out that I might be using the wrong format to filter a single IP address. Is it supposed to be 64.68.82.164 or 64.68.82.164? Will it still work if it was entered without the escape characters? Thanks in advance Moz community for your assistance!
