    When I check the Traffic Sources of my websites in my Google Analytics account, the top searched keywords are (not provided). I have read on one blog that Google is showing (not provided) keywords for the users that are logged in. However, I still do not understand for what reason is Google doing this? Here is that blog post: http://www.highervisibility.com/blog/how-to-address-googles-not-provided-keywords/

    Also, I wonder if I will use e.g. StatCounter, will I be able to track the (not provided) keywords? I have a new website that receives only a few searches per day, but the traffic sources show (not provided) keywords and I would really need to know what were the keywords that brought the visitors from Google to my website.
