A bit late .. But it's better that not saying anything at all about this!

Story start when Google announced to hides search referral data with new SSL implementation for the sake of privacy. Google users who are logged in to Google will automatically use SSL for their search activities. When they click on organic search result, Google will hide the search queries they use to website owners.

The "bad effect"

It's difficult for website owners to track on their SEOs campaign performance. Although some Googlers said that this change will only affect very small percentage the search data. But hey! No matter how small the data is, it's still important for us to improve our SEOs campaign. More over to give more value to our users.

But is it true that this is about privacy! No it is not! Since Google are still sending complete referal data for Adwords advertising. I believe what many people believes. This is purely 100% another Googles effor to earn more money and eliminate their opponents.

Referal data, especially keywords, has been used for long by advertising company -other than Google- to enhance their clients campaign. By hiding this data, advertising company will find it more difficult to survive. -I can clearly see the evil now!

The war between SEOs and Google has started already early this week. And I think I'm in to war with Google. Fuck with your privacy.

p.s. Here's awesome video from Rand of SEOMoz on how we can -win- fight better over this.
