Analytics starting to remove keywords?

I just noticed a new Traffic Source showing for me under "keywords", one I have not seen before...

...is this the start of them hiding keywords that come through to your site?!

Yeah i'm sure its already been mention on here before, basically if someone is logged into their google account now, when they carry out a search, their keyword data is not recorded for you to look at, so you can't tell what they search you just get (not provided) something to do with Privacy.

I know it's been mentioned, just didn't know it had been rolled out already!

Really frustrating and makes keyword research a lot harder! Interesting to know it only logged in searches though.

Looks like they started rolling it out on the fall of October, bit of stupid move on Google's part i think.

It may be technical issue.

Bit of a bump... but no, it's not a technical issue. Google are stopping us from seeing what people have searched so long as they are logged into google. Otherwise we can still see the keywords.

I'm currently getting about 60-80 hidden searches a day now.
