Changes to Keyword Data

So I was looking around on the net and decided to check my stats for my blog. When I did that I noticed that I've had a lot more hits thanks to searches from google, but also there was a couple of 'unknown keyword' hits. Being confused as I usually am when it comes to this stuff, I did some checking and found an interesting article online. It mentioned that google was going to be limiting the amount of keyword referrals that are visible. They said it would be only for signed in users, and should only affect 10% of a sites search engine refers. The problem comes in when you only have a bit more the 10 people searching! Out of my 12 searches, 11 are on google and 2 are unsearchable. Those 2 could help me so much, if I just knew how they found me. This action is suppose to be a way to help with privacy, but truth be told what does it matter if search engines know what you searched? If they don't tell exactly where you live or something you're just a number in the system, a number that could help a site owner a lot.

Some people don't want to be found because of stalkers such as ex's. Some are hiding from bill collectors and so forth. As for your situation I don't know as I am not that technical. I should learn as I have sites for some of my jewelry and so forth. But, I take so much medicine that it's very hard to focus at times. And my short term memory doesn't work that well. Maybe the 2 that found you are actually connected to another site that is selling info?

Okay its very simple, the problem is I don't know how they are finding me. If i don't know how they are finding me then I don't know what to improve upon.
