That was a most excellent example Jay. I see what the issue is now. This could be related to work Google did to plus shortly after launch. Buzz and now Google+ are https only. Google cooked up a URL processer that took clicks to external content like article links, and massaged the referrer be readable as http to show where the visitor came from. Sanitized of any personal data I assume. The problem they were trying to fix was no one knew any users were coming from Buzz clicks. They fixed that in +. I am thinking something of the same might fix the search issues. It could also be that a Googler saw Lauren's post and the debate has already started. -steve On Oct 23, 2011 4:04 PM, "Jay Ashworth" <jra () baylink com> wrote:
