How to send CreativeID?

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by fischermx, Oct 27, 2006.

    I see in my ads that each ad has a unique number, may be within the campaign or the account, or the whole system.
    The thing is there "is" a creative ID to which identify our ads.
    Can this creativeID be sent in the landing page parameters, like the "{keyword}" thing?

    I don't know if I got what do you want exactly but: I understood that you want to send the ad id to a tag variable to your landing page.

    As far as I know there is no variable to send it.

    But you can send it by adding it manually to each of your destination URL on each of your ads, just adding a tag like: &adid=xxxxxxx for each of your ad destination URLs

    but it will not work if you use redirection per keyword in your adgroups like:

    keyword1 ** url1
    keyword2 ** url2

    as the ad destination url will be ignored.

    Yes, that's exactly my question.
    I was wondering that if instead of adding a tag like: &adid=xxxxxxx, I could just do something like &adid={creativeid}.

    let me correct this: you have also the {ifserach:} and {ifcontent:} parameter that distinguish if the click is from search or content network

    example:

    http://www.mysite.com?clickfrom={ifsearch:Search}{ifcontent:Content}

    that will result

    http://www.mysite.com?clickfrom=Search

    when search network


    - or -

    http://www.mysite.com?clickfrom=Content

    when content network

    The parameter you are looking for is

    {creative}

    :)

    H
    (I use this in the URL in combination with {keyword} when tracking adwords performance for Taguchi split testing etc)

    thanks for that.

    Google should document better these parameters.
