Hello,

What are some ways around the (Not Provided) traffic results in Analytics?
I imagine that there are plenty of Plug-ins/ alternatives, but I have no idea where to start looking.

Additionally, why did Google do this?

      I guess you can use tracking code from more than analytics to track your traffic, and see if you can fill the blanks with data from other sources like statcounter, etc

        The most popular workaround is to look at the queries your content shows up for and the clicks you get for them in Google Webmaster Tools (under Search Traffic -> Search queries).
        But the way, Google just revamped this feature, and the stats there seem to be more accurate.

    I agree that the Webmaster Tools route is definitely the best way to get the data. It's how I get the information. Though I do complain about this once a week. What's the purpose of still giving us the data but not letting us know what keywords actually converted? It seems like it would be a no-brainer to provide this information since most users are likely going to bid more for those keywords within AdWords.
