    FYI, this will only impact organic searche keyword reporting in Google Analytics where someone is logged into their Google account. It will not impact paid search keyword reporting.

      That's still huge, we're already seeing the impact in our GA reports.

        I don't know if this is a valid question. Does this mean if you are purchasing/using adwords, you are now kinda guessing?

        TIA,

          No with AdWords you still get the data. It's more about where your SEO searches are coming from.

            Yes, that pretty much makes google analytics all but worthless if you can see what keywords BUYERS are actually using to find your products.

            It's funny that this is being hailed by google as a "security" feature for users. If only the users knew how much personal information was being RETAINED by google (especially if they have a google account) then they certainly would not feel so secure using google products.
