How to track Adgroups through landing page

[icomunik]

Hi,

I tried to look for this answer everywhere but unfortunately couldn't find anything that would help me to create a system to track adgroups as a subid through my landing pages.

In reality I would love to set up a system where each keyword would be tracked by the LP and assigned a unique number in a database, to hide the keyword from the affiliate company. I found a page that explain that, however it is not very clear and easy to understand the tutorial for some people without PHP and mySQL background.

So what I am planing to do is a system where I would only track an adgroup code example (ADW-01) as a subid. I know how to do that, but only when i enter the affiliate link with the subid in the destination URL on my ad.

What I need to know is whether is this is possible.

ADWORDS - Adgroup 01 - Destination URL www.mylandingpage.com/index.php

When someone clicks gets to my page the landing page will get the adgroup code, then transfer that as a subid and display in Azoogle CP for example.

Is this possible? Anyone has a simple code or tutorial?

Thanks in advance.

Here's a way to do this (and you can do it with keywords too).

Destination URL:

http://example.com/index.php?ag=AdGroup1

On your LP:

<a href="http://nbjmp.com/click/?s=xxxxx&c=xxxx&subid=<? echo $_GET['ag'] ?>">Affiliate Link Here

I think that should work.

Ok, this won't tell you the adgroup, but it would allow seeing which keywords are sending data through.

h..p://domain.com/?kw={keyword}&referrer={ifsearch:GoogleAdWordsSearch}{ifcontent:GoogleAdWordsContent}

This will tell you the keyword, and where the traffic came from.


I have also stuck in some simple tracking for the other data:

h..p://domain.com/?gaw-agGROUPNAMEABBREV-adWHICHADNUMBER&kw={keyword}&referrer={ifsearch:GoogleAdWordsSearch}{ifcontent:GoogleAdWordsContent}

So I know if was from Google AdWords, the AdGroup(ag) and which Ad(ad) too.

I parse that stuff out, but should really turn them into real variables... someday...
