    Dear Friends,

    Please explain me in google analytics why some keywords simply metioned (not provided) which I spotted in red color in this image GA(report).jpg

    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Mick,
    The not provided keyword indicates a logged in Google user has visited your site. Google claims they are protecting their users privacy by not providing a keyword query in these cases. Of course if you're checking in your Adwords campaign you will not see "not provided" as keyword data. Apparently if you are paying for the traffic Google's happy to provide you with the full dataset. Go figure

    Totally agree with the reply of the "ParadigmAU". This the perfect answer to your query. I don't think so that someone else can describe such type of complete description regarding your query . If you are using google adwords and you are tracking the traffic of the website then you can get answer of all your queries and issues.
