Why am i still seeing very recent organic kw traffic being reported in Analytics if G is now fully encrypted ?
Should it not all be 'Not Provided' now ?
When this fully roles out if not already wont it be impossible to distinguish between brand and non brand kw ?
Cheers

Hi Dan,
Yeah its pretty tough. You have probably seen the wbf covering this which mentions using adwords for brand search insights, also check out this article which has some interesting points on moving away from keyword/branding reports and going to a full all organic/landing page type reporting model.

Thanks Lynn !!
Blimey ! any thoughts how to explain that to a client (or post covering this) , that we will no longer be able to distinguish between brand & non branded organic traffic, let alone kw specific traffic

Hi Dan,
Google has said that they are going to encrypt as many searches as they can, but obviously not all are yet since I too am seeing some little bits of keyword data still. Some of that data comes from other search engines, and interestingly the bulk of the google data still in there seems to be coming from android browsers (if you check keywords by Browser/Os in analytics maybe you will see the same thing). There are still some non encrypted google searches coming from other browsers, but the bulk seem to be Android based. Anybody else noted this? As for branded vs non branded organic searches... yeah, its gonna be tough!

Direct traffic decline
I've noticed a few of our sites (tour, hotel, and local attraction) which are very established and reasonably high brand recognition that have experienced a significant decrease in branded traffic (-20-30% compared to same period from the previous year) the past few months. There have been no changes in offline marketing though we are seeing a slight decrease in visitor arrivals (-5%) and higher hotel room rates. Is there a chance that Google's not set may be affecting direct traffic numbers? Any other thoughts on how we can figure out why brand traffic is dipping? Thanks

Will 301 redirects (Same Domain) show as referral traffic in Analytics?
For an eCommerce site we have 301'd legacy product pages to new product pages. Is all that traffic going to show up as referral traffic from our own domain in Google Analytics? If so, is there any way to preserve original source/medium info or will all the source/medium info be our own domain since there is a 301 redirect?

Viewing image search data in Analytics?
How do you view image search data in Google analytics? Do you need to apply tracking or can you drill down into the default data? Thanks.

Number of clicks / organic traffic - different data in Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools
Hi. I have a little problem. When I open Google Webmaster Tools I see 3000 clicks (in Traffic - Search queries - Clicks). But when I open Google Analytics I see much more visits from search engine (Google) - it´s 4-5 times more! It´s a huge difference, don´t you think? Do you know, where is the problem? What causes this diffence? thanks a lot

Google Analytics traffic hijacking?
Ran into something interesting a week ago - the same Google Analytics code was installed on two different sites by accident. The account was reporting traffic from both domains. Haven't found a definitive answer on how to stop this yet if it were to be used maliciously?

Impressions in Google Analytics
I am trying to compare SERP impressions in Google Analtyics between two different time periods. I want to compare the last two months, with the previous two months. Now this works fine when I go to Traffic Sources > SEO > Queries. Our analytics has been set up since early last year, so I cannot understand why, for a couple of weeks at the start of the previous two months, it is showing that I have less than 10 impressions per day, then in one day, it jumps to 22,000 impressions, and starts to show 'real' information after that... Very frustrating when I am trying to show how effective my work has been. Can anyone shed any light on this?
