Very good point Andy – who knows how much data you’re really missing already. I was hoping my data would help users see that there isn’t that much data missing that would cause huge issues, since some are touting this Google decision as horrendous for SEOs.

Thanks for the comment!

If the way you use the data is to help you make decisions on keyword optimization or anything else, then this small percent change should not effect that decision making. Especially if the change effects all your keywords equally.

Yeah, it’s a bummer to have a little slice of your data set taken away, but who knows what data your’re already missing? There is a lot of strangeness in analytics that I just have to put up with, and move on.

But thanks for reporting it. Knowlege is power.
