SEO Killer! Google is the Primary Suspect


SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the primary way to drive traffic to your website. It is what facilitates you coming up in search results and therefore facilitates people going to your website. But Google might be trying to kill your SEO.

SEO primarily operates from the use of keywords. These words are used strategically in your site to help the search engines find your site and match it with appropriate search terms. The better your SEO the better you will turn up in the search results. Really good SEO can result in you being one of the first few websites found in a relevant search.
Google is jumping on the privacy train, but not in a way that users will actually know. They are making it so if you do a search, and you are signed into Google, your search will be encrypted . What does this mean? Good question! This means that the information about your search, keywords and the link you clicked to get to the website will not be shared with the website.
What this means to websites: When someone comes to your website from a search engine, they use a search term to find your site. That gives them a link to a page on your site. They click the link and go to your site. As obvious as this is, this information is important to your SEO strategy. You want to know the words people are using to find your site. You want to know the links that are bringing people into your site.
The data you will not be receiving due to the new encryption is:
  • Referral Data - This is the link they clicked to get to your site.
  • Key Words- These are the search terms the used to find your site.
