How will you ADAPT to Google's 100% NO DATA policy?
 

http://marketingland.com/no-search-d...provided-60101 google's encrypted keyword referrer stats EXCEPT for adword buys.... How will you ADAPT to this?

Push towards content optimization? Heavier emphasis on social interaction/engagement?

Some alternatives/work arounds... from the article:

Not cool...

I'll focus on producing quality content that keeps people on my site.

I shall adapt via taking a huge dump...

Major hurt.

To make matters worse google stock went down not up.

I just noticed that search terms were encrypted..was wondering what happened - life will go on though!

Doing stupid shit like this just re-invigorates their competition.

Uhm.... no? http://www.ereviewguide.com/news/201...s-bing-failed/

How will people find your quality content?

If you're citing this as Google can never be unseated by competition than you're straight up ignorant.

I am sure that Lycos, Ask, Hotbot, and Yahoo all thought the same thing once upon a time.

Open up a history book and educate yourself.

:2 cents:

I will only focus to the on-site content and forget about SEO.

You forgot Altavista, metacrawler and dogpile :thumbsup

crossing my fingers for Bing :)

By using search enginges.

You do realize that serps are staying, right? All this does is stop you from sitting in Google Analytics and wanking over your search terms. It's pretty simple for people in adult: if you're getting a good number of hits on a site, the keywords you were aiming for are probably what's good. If you want to keep it up, just keep adding content and relevant backlinks.

It's not hard to imagine what a site called "teen sluts" with videos entitled "slut teens" and written descriptions that say "slutty teens" is going to rank for. :2 cents:

Best reply ever

I'm loving this change!

will they delete old results from previous years?

Probably not. Expect some funky movements though.

You forgot Infoseek...huge in '95.

but good to know keywords people use to find out your site.

it was always for me a big help to analyze your reffer data....

there are other ways to get data :)

hah, ya... back in the late 90's i used to be able to get #1 listings for ANY search term i wanted in a matter of about 2 minutes with infoseek...

i had this html page i liked to call "the super bowl source" which was a story about a past super bowl, that contained 14 instances of the term "super bowl". i would find/replace that with anything i wanted "big tits", "lesbian sex" or whatever i wanted a number 1 listing for, then upload the page to my server.

if you recall, you would submit a page and it would tell you "your page has been added for spidering" or something and then you would wait about a minute and refresh, then it would say "your page has been indexed". then i would go to infoseek and type in the search term i replaced "super bowl" with and wallah! #1 ranking, every single time.

then, i would replace that page on my server with whatever i wanted and watch the traffic roll in. all those .28 per click i was getting from xpics publishing back then added up to a mountain of cash!
