I am an AdWords advertiser who heavily advertises on content network. I use Google Analytics to track my visitors, but I noticed all clicks on content network are grouped under the same heading. I wanted to be able to track visitors, conversions etc. per individual content site. So here's the JavaScript code I put on my page to do it: <script> var r = document.referrer; if(r.match(/googlesyndication\.com/) && r.match(/url=([^&]+)/)) { var u = unescape(RegExp.$1); if(u.match(/^https?:\/\/([^\/]+)/)) { var d = RegExp.$1; __utmSetVar("AdSense: " + d); } } </script> Code (markup): Now I am able to see on which sites my ads are clicked. I was also able to launch site targeted campaigns to the sites where my ads get most clicked
Nice script dude! I've got this implemented into my own tracking software a few months ago, and being able to track the content network is a huge advantage Simply block the content sites with a low CR/ROI, and start site targeted campaigns for the content sites with a good ROI. Lots of targeted traffic + low CPCs = So, great work on the Analytics add-in! It will definitely unleash some extra potential for the average Adwords advertiser .
Yes, exactly that's what I primarily made it for - block sites with low ROI... but I was also abloe to launch site-targeted campaigns on the best-performing sites, with lower CPC that my original campaign - woohoo!
Excellent I have added the code yesterday and it works great. filtalr, you can add the code between </head> and <body>
Nice script but everyone should keep in mind that in the coming months there's transparency coming to the AdWords content network
