Moving servers

⌛Time it takes to read this article: < 1 minutesLess than three months after I returned to Japan from America, I suddenly had to move my web server. Seriously, it was tough. (__;) For more information, see News ⇒ We have moved the server in a hurry! *Added on April 3rd By the way, during the process of relocating the server, several broken links occurred where dynamic links were posted. This seems to be due to WordPress specifications. WordPress has a good plugin called “Broken Link Checker” that allows you to quickly check for broken links. This plugin was very helpful.

Mystery where search keywords are gone

⌛Time it takes to read this article: < 1 minutesBy the way, I noticed something while looking at Google Analytics that for some reason the search keywords were not included in the access analysis results. I wondered why, so I googled it and found a blog that explained why, ``I can't track search keywords...Is there a way to deal with direct referrals?'' In other words, the cause seems to be that Google encrypted the search itself with SSL in October 2011, making it impossible to retrieve the search keywords of users who visited via Google. From a webmaster's point of view, this information is what I most want to know, but I feel that there is little point in doing access analysis. I wonder if other search engines like Yahoo!, Bing, etc. are going in this direction (–;)
