Word up,
wasn't sure where to post this but i got a wicked good question for ya.
I put up a post on some awstats hack
Blue Hat SEO-Advanced SEO Tactics » Awstats Hacks
I got a really good question about it. Is it possible to use the same awstats hack to monitor your ppc traffic? Since I've never done PPC before I really have no idea how the PPC traffic referrers display in the combined logs.
I"m looking for a way to make a table that displays how much traffic comes from your different ppc campaigns. For instance if the referers show up as ads.google.com and clicks.peakclick.com (just throwing them out there) i'd check for clicks from the domain ads.google.com OR clicks.peakclick.com and put those in as the variables in the conditions grab and pass it to the ColumnValuesX
I want it to show up as
Campaign.........Clicks...........Percentage.............Last Visit
Adwords..........100..............10%......................thedate
Peakclick..........99...............9%.......................thedate
I hope that made sense
I know theres some awesome PPC and arbi gurus here. Anyone got any ideas? If i figure this out i'll post it up in the comments, and then i'll make a wickedfire exclusive tool for the resource area where you can add your own campaigns through a form and it'll automatically generate the awstats code. If you don't know the regex portions thats alright i can figure it out. but if you guys in the know could donate some referrer examples from different ppc campaigns for this project that'd be awesome.
I'm not even sure this is possible.
Thanks
