Just to get a bit of feedback and perhaps share a bit. The Google change of late to using encryption for logged in users results in 'keywords' of (not provided) and (not set) aka - we're not telling you.

In the last thirty days on a site I look after, it had (not provided) or (not set) at 8% of all search terms (8% logged in!).

That sites traffic is fairly healthy. Anyone else (with decent traffic) like to share that metric.

Just to see if its anyway similar

I've got 6.66% on one site and 7.19% on another. Both are fairly busy sites.

Edit: Just looking at the logs for the last few five days, Not Set and Not Provided have taken a massive jump, they're between 13% and 18% on both sites.

Interesting they are both about the same - but a far cry for the proposed '3%' estimated by google at its outset

I'm still seeing 16-19% per day now, on both sites. Very strange. What's your daily rate in the last few days?

now you mention it - since Mar 1st

Too coincidental?!

It must have finally gone live on searches performed on Google.ie. As far as I can remember, when it launched it was only for searches performed on Google.com.

I don't mind that high a percentage to be honest, you're still left with 80%, which will give you a fairly accurate idea of what the searches were. My top keywords prior to this increase match my top keywords after it. Losing that information was my main concern.

Of course - it reached our shores! True the relatives are still the same - top is still top
