Can I pass keyword match type through the Adwords dest URL?
-
Hi guys,
I'm currently using duplicates of the same keyword with different match types, and I'd like to pass the keyword match type through the query, the same way I can pass the keyword and creative.
ie. http://my.site.com/?kw={keyword}&kwmt={matchtype}&aid={creative}
As far as I can tell, Google allows you to pass the keyword, creative (ad id), network and a mobile flag.
Microsoft allows you to pass the match type and and ad id, and I want to be able to do the same in my Adwords.
Is this is possible, or is the only way to create different ad groups for each match type and pass a custom query?
Cheers, Jez

Hey David, Thanks for answering - I should have specified in my question that I'm using SiteCatalyst to performance manage my paid search, as the site I'm working on is heavily sampled by Adwords due to massive traffic. As such, I'm looking for a way to pass campaign elements, such as match type, via the query that I can then pick up on the landing page. Possible? Cheers, Jez

If you are using google analtics you can connect it to your adwords and see that data.

How do YOU do an AdWords Audit?
Audits Audits Audits! I am overhauling my AdWords Audit Process and the Documentation and I was wondering if any generous souls our there mind sharing a few ideas or learnings that they have had along the way? I aim to make it as thorough but as quick and automated (think scripts) as possible. I'm also 14 pages into the documentation that I will use for some audits that include explanations, recommendations & definitions. I'd love to hear your opinions on what to Audit, how to audit and how to report on it 🙂

Which of my products should I advertise for first using Adwords?
Serious Adwords noob here. I have been reading a great deal in preparation for my first Adwords campaign. Strangely enough, I have not been able to find information that might help me determine which of my 180+ products I should begin with and use in my first campaign. I imagine that there is some sort of general criterion like the highest selling item, lowest, one meeting certain criterion in the popularity of it's keywords/difficulty, one with least competition or, most likely, something that I haven't even thought of. Does anyone have any suggestions or a link to something I might be able to read to solve this? Thanks for your help!

Keyword Traffic - Does this count paid traffic?
I'm looking at keyword rankings, and specifically at the number under "Keyword Traffic" for one of my keywords, which is described as "how many visits this keyword has generated for your website". We run adword campaigns for some of these keywords. I'm wondering if this number is tracking visits from adwords or is this only organic?
