    I have my adwords and analytics accounts connected, i have auto tagging enabled, but the auto-tagging doesn't seem to be working, i get (not set) showing within analytics, so basically i dont see the keywords etc.

    Yesterday i did a quick search and found info talking about redirects and the auto-tagging feature.

    I dont use any type of redirect but im wondering if the server where my website is hosted requires it to be configured to pass gclid, purely for the auto-tagging to work?

    THe page i was reading and also that support from my hosting read is http://analytics.blogspot.com/2008/07/practitioner-post-adwords-auto-tagging.html

    Note: Im not using redirects, just looking at getting auto-tagging working, its definately enabled within adwords.
