I know Google did make it this way before but after Penguin 2.1 update it's almost the only thing I can see on Google Analytics (real-time reports).

Aside from (Not Provided) the keywords they show are mostly long tailed keywords as organic traffic coming from Google. I want to have a clue and find out what are this keywords shown as (Not Provided) for analytic reasons.

How to know what are this (Not Provided) Keywords? Anyone?

(forgive my grammar) lol

    The best source of data for that is Webmaster Tools - it's not as good as the data you used to get in Analytics, but it's really the only option now.

    Google made it pretty clear they are moving in the direction of not showing ANY keywords that you are getting organic traffic from. There may be alternative services that pop up to give us some options, but I'm not aware of any yet. It would have to be something integrated with a traffic analytic tool, so it's unlikely.

    I'm still seeing a few incoming Google search phrases with STT2.

    yukon, that plugin can't show any more than any other stats program.

    WMT can give some indication of where you are getting the most exposure and CTR.

    As some people have already mentioned, GWMT can detect which keywords your website is getting organic traffic from.

    This includes impressions and rankings for the keywords. However, the accuracy is still questionable.

    Also by looking at the landing page where most users land can give you some ideas what keywords they come from. but the annoying thing is that you dont know where your conversions come from..that is which keywords. and webmaster tools doesnt help with that either.
    so the best thing you can do is to build rich content and hope many different search queries will bring up your site.

    Yes google is trying to guide wembasters to build more content on their sites. It is kind of enough to know that conversions come from search, so you can invest more money into ranking your site for many keywors, instead of getting into the trap of just targeting the whole site for 2-3 keywords that convert best. Create authotrity sites!

    Basically, Google is trying to force companies to pay for Google ads, over SEO, and one way to do this is by preventing people from seeing exactly what keywords are bringing traffic to the site. It's very sly of them, but - of course - perfectly within their rights to do!

    In my opinion the "NOT provided" keywords is shown in google analytical, when some one search keywords in Google in Login Mode and they find your website, in that case, google show NOT PROVIDED message in keywords.

    Hi "Dokemion":
    There's actually a hack you can use with Analytic's Filter but it will only provide (really good) hints as to what keywords visitors used to find your page. I learned this hack from Premium Content inside Weatlhy Affiliate so it wouldn't be right to disclose it.
