AOL Descrambler

Decrypt AOL Keywords from Referrer URL

This form accepts the HEX encoded gibberish we sometimes find in our AOL referrals. Paste the weird encrypted string of letters and numbers you saw in Google Analytics or other referrals and this will translate it for you.

Encoded Search Phrase:

Note: The AOL decryption will not return a valid search phrase for partial strings or data with spaces. Google will truncate long encoded phrases and end them with a tilde like so: "cf34a…"

In order to obtain an entire long phrase from Google Analytics, drill into the Search Engine Keyword report and double click the phrase to highlight all of it and copy it to your clipboard.
