That website would be ours and it would not be positive I would think... I've never put "buy viagra" on my sites but I am sure it would not be best for them since they are almost all business and finance sites.

Never noticed this! I guess it's hard out there for a free service.

Hmm, I received an email from StatCounter a few months ago saying how Google has stopped them from being able see keywords. Preventing them from passing that info on to those of us who have websites. Maybe StatCounter got "slapped". Lol. They sounded kinda angry about it in this email:
Have you noticed 'Keywords Unavailable' in your StatCounter reports?
Unfortunately, this is due to a decision by Google to withhold this keyword
information.
Since 2011 Google has been steadily expanding its policy of withholding
keyword data for organic search. This means that website owners and
professionals have limited access to the keywords used to find their sites.
While we at StatCounter can't undo what Google has done, we have added a
new feature to our service to maximize and streamline access to available
keyword data.
We have integrated Google Webmaster Tools (GWT) keyword data into our
reporting. This means that you, our members, can have efficient,
streamlined access to all available keyword data.

Maybe so. I didn't think about that. I believe I saw an area in Google analytics that requires payment to see keywords. So when I got this email, I just assumed Google had stopped all trackers from being able to see keywords so they could force us to use the paid area in Google analytics. But after seeing this thread, I'm wondering if maybe this ban only happened to StatCounter. Maybe Google saw they were planting keywords in their code and has now stopped StatCounter from seeing keywords altogether.
