not provided isnt anything to do with Panda or Penguin. For pretty much every site its their #1 referring organic keyword - Google doe snot provide keyword info for users who are logged into their services anymore

Have you looked at your keywords? I would be surprised if (not provided) did not stand out massively

Have you checked against (not provided)? That may well have swallowed a large chunk of branded

BTW, the big (not provided) switch was early March for the UK and it makes a heck of an impact on reporting

Other things to check:

have you stopped any marketing activities in other channels that would have driven brand traffic?

Are your segments correct? Double check, maybe someone changed whats in them. How are you handling (not provided) with respect to assigning brand or non brand?

Very unlikely: tracking code misfiring on your homepage i.e. affects brand count but not longtail

Personally I like to have links open in the same tab, I will open them in a separate tab if I want them there.

But like Alan, Ive never heard of it being an issue one way or the other

I'm just using the free bit myself.

Its pretty new, but seems to work well enough. It may well pull some wrong info (or maybe pulls the info it gets to first)

- for the PR, does it always show the home page PR? Or does it calculate the PR for other pages by subtracting 1 for every click from the home page? I mainly ask so I can respond to client questions if they ever see the tool.

I doubt its that clever, its just aggregating data

I've been using http://www.outreachr.com/bulk-domain-checker/  to pull data out of batches of urls for this. It goes and grabs link data from SEOmoz and then has a go at getting contact details including twitter etc

Ryan are you using the client's email address? Seems it may get a better response rate
