Reading in AdWords Help it seems the only way to track clicks to my site from AdWords is to use the Google code snippet.
If I don't want to use such snippet, and simply track the referrer
, can we say that clicks coming from Google AdWords (either Ads in SERPs and Ads in Content Network) starts all with a certain url in the referrer
?
In other words, can we say:
- when
referrer
ishttp://www.google.it/search...
orhttp://www.google.it/url...
then it's coming from organic seacrh - when
referrer
issomething else
(tell me what) then it's coming from and Ad of AdWords
It would suffice for me to distinguish between who is coming form organic SERP and who is coming form click on Ad (I don't need to know which Ad or what keyword).
Is there something (even if non-official) that analyzed this and you could suggest me to read?!
referrer
is so easy in both JS or in PHP that it seems odd to add the nth 3rd party script on my site to do such a simple operation. – Marco Demaio Oct 20 '11 at 11:39
