How to Know 'Not Provided' data of Google Analytics.?

Discussion in 'Google Analytics' started by shawn_michaels, Apr 3, 2014.

    For one of my client I have found that 80% transaction (sales) had have happened from 'Not Provided' data. Now because of this I am unable to do any research of organic keywords for which actually my client site is attracting visitors and generating revenues.

    plzzz help me out..

    Thanks
    Shawn

    You get the information if you use AdSense

    If you use adwords it only shows data for adwords but not for Not provided.

    Use google webmaster tools (number of impressions) and cross reference them to landing pages via Google Analytics - it will give you some impression of keywords

    i am also getting this problem. I google so many times for this but not get right answer.
    Google Webmaster tool shows the keyword on which website has been open.

    I found the results in the webmastertools to be the most helpful. For bigger work, I usually download both analytics and webmastertools and then cross reference them if possible in excel, though it is far less useful than it was before they withhold the information, especially missing the drill downs. :(

    You can also try with query search provided with Google Webmaster Tools, and intersect with Analytics reports.

    Basically, all the methods above will be able to give you a general idea of what keywords are being used to get to your pages. However, there's no way to know for sure. You really have to cross reference a lot, check for any overlaps with the data you have, and then guess. Google becoming a secure Search Engine has created a lot of problems for us all. :(

    I agree with the suggestion to use webmaster tools - that's what we did and it helped.
