I understand that I can get detailed keyword data in Analytics from Yahoo and Bing, but does that include the actual Yahoo/Bing keyword cost?

Hi John,

I have problem in editor approval when i append my URL for GA

My Actual URL is http://www.access-programmers.com/index.asp?id=420004

If i append it with {OVKEY}, {OVADID}, and submit in Destination URL the Editor of yahoo Declined my AD, Can you please help me in this regard.

The URL I submit is http://www.access-programmers.com/index.asp?id=420004&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term={OVKEY}&utm_content={OVADID}&utm_campaign={OVCAMPGID}

It is Less than 1024 characters. Wondering why yahoo editors decline my Ad.

Did you ever manage to figure out how to track {OVKEY} simultaneously in Google Analytics ?

I run some Yahoo campaigns and I would love to know how to build the yahoo campaigns url string so I can track both {OVKEY} in GA?

Any thoughts would be great.

the %2B instead of space is a problem and is it recommended to use the + sign instead of %2B?

If the %2B hampers the tracking what is the alternative for it.

Thanks once again
Chris

This is a great blog for someone who is trying to track their YSM campaigns on GA.Thanks a Lot as this is been really helpfull.

In one of my campaigns i have passed all the utm parameters the way it is mentioned above.But I can see a 35% discrepancy between the Panama clicks and GA visits.There has always been a difference between the two abt 10-15 % as both are different terms,but this time i am unable to understand the reason for this huge a diffrence.I have pasted the format of urls that i am using.Am i commiting a mistake here.

A lot of clients only look at GA visits and dont honour the Panama click data.

Also it will be great and really helpfull for me if you can throw some light on the reasons that this Yahoo Clicks and GA visits difference exists.

Cheers
Chris

This a a great thread on Yahoo PPC tracking… PPC Hero Rocks!
I am new to PPC and and trying the learn the best options of tracking my
campaigns.
I have turn on URL tracking in YSM and using Tracking 202 tool to Track my
KW.
Now, I am trying out Tracking202 and seems like I can Track the Search Term
(OVRAW??) in Tracking202.

Now, My question is, what am I missing in Tracking202 that GA offers?
In other words, for affiliate marketing with direct linking as well as my
own Landing Pages, which tracking tool will serve me better….

Any comments/thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
