I can currently track every keyword in the Urchin Program I recommended that we buy from Google for $10,000 6 months ago -- now they make an important part of the program worthless. I will have to consider cutting my AdWords expenditures now that I don't get the tracking data to justify the AdWords buys.

This kind of asinine policy will just drive people to advertise and optimize for other search engines. Piss your customer off and drive them to the competition -- taking lessons from the Bank of America Google?

This is why oligopolies are evil.

Google sends no referrals with personally identifiable information. The Google idiots just dried up the source of keyword tracking that drives their AdWord purchases ... Congratulations arrogant idiots...
