How are you dealing with [secure search]?

Are you bothered with [secure search]? The useless term that google invented just to keep its power is making me crazy. Because I can not exactly know what my visitors are using as search terms to reach my blogs. Almost 50% is recorded as [secure search] and this is way to much for me to make new strategies.

What are your solutions? Thoughts?

Anyone?

Bump!

You mean (not provided) or (direct) / (none) (in the case of iOS and iOS6 now)? If so, I still have yet to find or see anyone discussing a realistic method of trying to quantify anything from that. A few months ago I saw someone came up with a method for calculating a percentage of this traffic that was from iOS and iOS6, but even that didn't seem to be too accurate. I don't really see a way around this, considering Google no longer wants to make this info public or simply is unable to based on browsers/devices using secure search.

there is a great article on kissmetrics about it. just google it like ghost traffic kissmetrics

good work

All incoming search terms are still available for the past 90 days and can be seen in Google Webmaster Tools. That's the only workaround I've known of.
