Is It Possible to See Referral Keywords Hidden in Google Analytics?

Hello,

I have remarked that Google has started to hide certain keywords from the data provided in Google Analytics. However, I would like to ask if there are tools that could be used to track a site's traffic and know which are these hidden keywords?

If you have a wordpress self-hosted Blog then you can try these Plugin to know what your visitors targeting - SlimStat | SEO SearchTerms 2

Both of these plugins are FREE

Nope. These are hidden because people are logged in to their Google Account when searching. However, you can look at a break down of these referrals, comparing to your keyword list, and make educated guesses on what percentage is brand, non-brand and so on. A good article on it here -

When you go with real time search in Google analytic then you have all options to see like GEO and keyword and where is that traffic I really love to use that tool and get better then previous Google analytic

Try registering for an analytics account for Histats. Essentially it's Google Analytics but not owned by Google=)

Just install "jet pack lite" on wordpress and that will tell you every keyword that people
used to get to your site.

Good suggestion as i have had this installed for a long time now but what if the thread creator or other members don't have a WordPress blog?

Any other tools to use then that is "good"?
