Hello,

I have a Yahoo Search Campaign currently active. The paid traffic is not showing up in Google Analytics. After doing some research online, I find that the Yahoo tracking URLs must be turned on.

Currently the tracking URLs are turned on, and still no traffic.

do i need to change a setting within Google Analytics? Are my tracking URLs old?

any suggestions?

Thanks a million

P.S. Here is an example of one of my destination URLs from Yahoo

I have the same problem as well, you probably should look at third party tracking software

Thanks for your feedback javaongsan,

I have the new yahoo tracking software installed within the site. However i would like to keep everything through Google Analytics. - I know you can set google analytics to track yahoo traffic - however - the numbers are just not adding up....

You don't need to put the variable at the end of your URL, as Yahoo automatically sends it to your site, if you have selected the 'Tracking URLS feature'
You will do this by going to the tab field on ADMINISTRATION >> TRACKING URLs

and you will see it in analytics

you need to look up the link structure that you're using for destination url... they have a utm_var extension that you should add to url.

Basic link would be something like this: http://www.example.com/tracking?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=cpc &utm_term=Nba Basketball

Use this tool:
