Found this on the SS forum,
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-gone-dark-search-giant-142955454.html
Thats quite a bad move for the Symbiostock community for the exact reasons stated in the article. Bad move in my opinion.
I think keywords are on the way out and phrases in
This has nothing to do with the NSA but forcing people to pay for their ads.
Notice this is the article:
Advertisers running search campaigns still get that keyword data for the ads that they ran. (In other words, when you click on a regular “organic” Google search result, it generates no data; when you click on an ad displayed alongside the organic search results, advertisers get to know which words generated that click.) It’s a contradiction
I know, but it kills our ability to see what buyers are looking for. Bad.
That’s how Google, Facebook, etc, works!
They push us down a tunnel on internet. They need to show us things they think are important for us to see. The open internet isn’t open anymore! The trick for us is to find our way through those tunnels.
actually, this announcement makes the sym network even MORE powerful & useful. we’re already tracking this sort of data…

shows views based on keywords across the network
there are other reports that show views for each site
meanwhile, google is still systematically crawling our sites based on keywords:

Yes, but I believe that only lists keywords that are used by the artist to describe the image.
IMO, it would be better to track what the customer is actually searching on.
no – the ‘views’ column shows how many times that keyword was used in a search (for v2.8.x+)
what it doesn’t track are keywords that no site has, but there are over 5000 unique keywords presently

But that is my point. I believe that it is very useful to know if customers are searching for a keyword that I might have mistakenly forgot to enter on an image. There have been many times when I have forgotten to put a very basic keyword on an image. It would be nice to know if someone is searching for that keyword.
In addition, if a specific keyword is showing up over and over again, then it might give an artist the idea to go create images for that keyword. For example, I don’t have any images of squid, but if I start to see hundreds of searches for the keyword squid, then I might want to go create images for that keyword.
