If you have used Google Analytics but haven’t logged in looking for information about your website traffic in a long time, you will notice that there are a lot of new ways to track metrics and almost all of the data you are looking for has moved or is missing.

Where to find Referring Keywords in Google Analytics
- Click On Acquisition in the left menu
- Select Source/Medium from the sub-menu
- Click on Keyword below the graph and above the report

Why is Google is hiding your keywords? The short answer is Google is protecting the privacy of the web surfer and won’t list the keywords for surfers logged into a Google service.
