On that page they actually went through the list of SEOmoz's directories.  (I think SEOmoz will be removing that directory list soon)

I just want to remind everyone that since the Penguin update, we need to be very careful about directories.  Here is a great article about Directories and with an analysis of SEOmoz's directory list.

What is the reason they don't want to use images.  I believe to have a professional looking site, you do need images.  I don't believe it's a SEO issue, but more of a UX issue.

"An image is worth a 1000 words"

I would find two websites.  One designed beautifully, and the other minimal.  Ask him which company he would call.  46% of people will judge the company based by the appearance of their website.

GA does still provide keywords, so you must be talking about the (not provided) list of keywords, correct?

If this is the case, then No, there isn't an easy way to track this information.  But if you want to spend some time you can get a rough idea of keywords based on the landing page they are hitting.

For any page on your site, you can see a complete list of keywords that landed on the page (with percentages).  So now you can take these percentages and use them with the Not provided numbers from Google.

For example:

page1.html - 100 landed visits from the keyword "example", which accounted for 10% for that page.

page1.html - 1000 visits from the keyword "(not provided)", so with a little math you can estimate that 10% of the 1000 visits came from the term "example"

**I should note the term used from GA is "Entrances".  This is the number you need to use.
