Google’s Ajax SERPs Could Break Keyword Web Tracking

Once more big G is behaving like a bunch of naughty boys: According to several sources the new Google SERPs are breaking the ability  for “any external analytics service” to determine the search query used by a visitor arriving at your website”.

Instead of showing google.com/search?q=sitemeter google is showing www.google.com/#q=sitemeter

The funny thing with this is, that nothing after the “#” can be send by the web browser, so most analytics solution will have a big problem.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some nonsense like this happens….and G Analytics will increase there 60% market share to 99.9%.
