Okay...I am utterly frustrated with Urchin. I can't find any documentation on reading ppc stats versus incoming traffic from organic search. Even using unique identifiers for all pcc campaigns doesn't help.
So what's the best stats program for specifically tracking organic search??? I know there are a lot of managed services available, but are any of them actually good at this? |

Truthfully, I think Urchin is the best one. Although I haven't done any PPC in a long time, so I don't use it currently. Are you using Urchin 5 or 6?

I have the same issue. They should route PPC clicks like they do AdSense clicks via a URL like googlesyndication but then more appropriate of course. Then stick the KWs at the end as if it was a normal search query.

It's Urchin 5 (5.7.02) and I don't have admin status. It's provided through the host as part of a package. I might be willing to pay for something better but my funds for this project are limited as this is not my own site. I have all the PPC campaigns heading to a landing page AND using referrer ID's. Urchin reports this in such as way that I'm not sure how to define it. They use the term "Count", but there's no definition for this. Adwords/Overture reports approximately 6000 clicks thrus. Urchin reports... 8500 - Landing Page (requested files pageviews) or... 5200 - Landing Page (entrance pageviews) Referrer Queries are shown at 11,000 for this same landing page.

I thought that their extended log format (ELF) did something to track this. I know that overture has formatted their referring URLs different to make this easier. I read something about this once in the Urchin docs I thought

You can double-check that by looking at your reports. See if you have the Campaign reports for your site(s) listed at the bottom of this page: http://www.urchin.com/products/v5/fe...st_master.html You can see on the Campaign tracking stuff it isolates PPC and organic automatically... http://www.urchin.com/products/v5/mo..._overview.html
