    Hello,

    I have set up a paid listing in a niche directory.
    I sent the administrator a tracking URL that looks like this, I've replaced the real URL www . mywebsite .com /default.asp? utm_source=DirectorySiteName&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=468Banner&utm_campaign=MyCampaign

    My question is that when I go into Google Analytics, Executive View > All Reports > Marketing Optimisation > All CPC Analysic

    all I see is GoogleAds. Do I need to set anything to see this CPC listing for my niche directory listing?

    thanks.

    oops.. thanks guys.

    For some reason I wrongly assumed that I would use that tracking URL and it would show up in the CPC analysis. I guess it could do if I changed it like you said but it's not really a Cost Per Click campaign, it's a CPM.

    What's the best way to track a CPM?
