Picking up information like AdGroupId, KeywordId and TextAdId on Landing page

[tank104]

Hi,
I ahve a question about picking up extra information about the click
through from google adwords and cannot find an answer anywhere.

I really need to get the TextAd that was clicked on, and the keyword
that was search for on my landing page. Does google supply this
somehow (perhaps in query string, or can get from looking at referral
page?).

I know that I could change the destination Url from my Text Ad to
truncate the TextAd Id on at the end, which would work fine - however
it won't have the keyword Id. I could also put a destination url for
the keyword Id but then it won't have the Text Ad Id. They seem to be
mutually exclusive.

Any ideas? Much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

There's nothing specific to the AdWords API for doing this, but
AdWords in general does support dynamically inserting creative and
criteria IDs into URLs. This functionality is available whether you
set up your ads and keywords via the API or via the web interface.
Please see these previous threads for more info:

Hello,

We don't mention this anywhere on the AdWords API developer's site
because this functionality is completely separate from the AdWords
API. It's a feature built in to the AdWords serving system.

I must admit that the full range of tags aren't featured very
prominently on the AdWords help center either, and I'm not really sure
why that is. Some of the tags are documented there, and references to
others only seem to exist in third-party blogs.
