Penguin 2.1 - October 4th Googles Spam-Filtering is at it again. Some sites took a big hit while others are recovering from a previous update in a big way. Google Encrypting Search - No more keywords for you Last year about this time, Google began encrypting searches for logged in users. This year... all searches are encrypted. This means the actual search terms that people used to find your site, are no longer available in your analytics. Instead, you will see Not Provided.
