How to get Around Google's "Not Provided" Keywords

As most of us know, every month it seems as though more and more of our valued keyword data in Analytics is showing "Not Provided." BOOOO

So fellow Warriors, what have you done to get around this?

I have tried using HitTail, but it basically just takes your data from Webmaster tools and shows you it in a pretty little box...go figure.

Are there any other analytics tools that will actually do what Google Analytics does but actually provides everything?

Cheers guys and thanks for your responses.

    There is no way for a tool to provide the data because Google does not share it.

    The best any other tool can do is guess.

      There´s no way to get around it, just guesses. For example, if you received a lot of traffic one day from Google and you see that there were more visits than usual to a certain article on your website, then you can guess that the keyword that your article is targeting has been the way they found you, but it´s just guesses.

    If you integrate your Analytics account with Webmaster Tools, they actually show you the keywords in Webmaster Tools....

      This is true just if you are working with adwords as well and you have integrated the information.

      The way I have been able to figure some of the keywords is like this:

      1,- I go to content/Landing pages, I review what are the titles on those landing pages.

      2.- I go to the Acquisition/Search Engine Optimization/Queries and I made a cross references between the searches it shows and the phrases I have on the titles of my landing pages. (This is taking into account that you have your Google Webmaster Tools and Analytics linked)

      This gives me a good idea of what phrases people are typing in.

    As Mike said you can use webmaster tools to get more data there, but dont think there is any trick or filter in analytics that will let you see it.

    One thing I do is when i get a converting customer ill often ask them how they found me in Google, but you dont always have this option with regular site visitors.

    You could always use Google Analytics and one of their competitors at the same time to help you narrow down what keywords people are reaching your website with.

    you may also connect your adwords account with your analytics account to get more insight.
    As Escalate said, you may use other third party analytics apps or some action tracking or even marketing solutions such as marketo for ecommerce & lead-gen...

    You can get the actual keywords in Google Webmaster Tools, but unfortunately that doesn't show which keywords actually converted. You'd think Google would want you to have that information so that they could convince you to "bid up" those keywords in AdWords.
