Google To Begin Encrypting Searches & Outbound Clicks By Default

"might" ? :)

It's surely a game changer ... how many times haven't many of us picked up long-tail traffic that they didn't ever think of and started drilling down for keywords in that topic ... now that's gone (almost completely)

Guys, I wouldn't over-react just yet. Big G is saying that only single digit % of Google users use Google Search while they're logged on their Google Accounts.

Surely, single digit is still massive amounts of traffic when we're talking about Google, but still it leaves us with a lot to work it. I don't think this spells the end of tools like Market Samurai just quite yet.


What I think is _really_ bad is the fact that in the future (or actually even currently), this will really affect mobile users. Already, Android devices tie your Google account into every possible action (and keep track of it too I'm sure).
 
Bad news big time...

But we need to accept google won't stay the same forever and never change a thing, so we just need to accept their decisions and figure out a way to get past this shit!
 
Fuck you google trying to kill our seo efforts till years ...
4-chan and the anonymous really have to look at this , i'll be happy to help them :)

Google are the biggest computer/software/anythingeles in the world you really think Google don't employ hackers crackers software engineers 100x better then any anon/*****ner lol?...
 
Well then Google would have to shut down their "Google Trends" service. I don't think that is going to happen. And that is wayyyy too much data to encrypt anyways. I hope this isn't true.

They can also receive an aggregated list of the top 1,000 search queries that drove traffic to their site for each of the past 30 days through Google Webmaster Tools. This information helps webmasters keep more accurate statistics about their user traffic.

It won't be too bad. You just won't be able to find out those really obscure search terms.

Indeed bad news, but hey, we can always use Google webmaster tools! (#@!$!@$%)

Top 1k, they just killed the term longtail
 
Actually as someone in the article said:

"Anyone not signed-in to Google will still send referrer data with search terms in them."

And, as someone noted above, this is "single digits"

So actually, you don't need to panic too much yet...

I think you'll only be mostly losing data from the gmail and googlePLUS and Adsense people...

And, seems like those people are less inclined to click ads anyway... So, ironically, this change might actually improve your dataset.... for a little while...

That is, until every user "goes secure"... And then, "long tail chasing" will be mostly over for the mega sites--that are mining their data and chasing long tails.... looking for those sweet long sentences.

WTF! Meathead's $100/day method is looking pretty sweet right now.
 
Does this mean Market samurai and other search type of software will be useless? Dude this is fucked. They waited till SEO is a big market and then they monetize this....typical google. I would lend a hand to ***** and Anonymous if that helps.

Yup. Same with youtube---Google bought a platform whose community was built on fair use uploads, by structure, thus specifically exempt from copyright (making the site a defacto public domain paradise for video sharing). Then they gutted the whole concept by making the place an ad-ridden copyright gestapo, where the media corporations' claims are accepted by default. Big G builds or buys a next wave phenomena, then hijacks it back for traditional big business to monoplize the profits.
