This is our Google UTM Parameter string that a user clicks on to gain access to our site from an ad campaign. Is this a common thing? Let me know. Thank you.

Hi Matt,

Where exactly are you getting this error, in the AdWords UI or in your server logs?  I'm not confident if this is an AdWords Scripts question/issue.  

Thanks,

Hi Tyler-

I'm getting them in the server logs. If this isn't an Adwords Scripts question, can you please direct me to the correct forum? :) I'm struggling right now to correct this issue. :(

Hi Matt,

This would be more of an Apache question.  This article would be helpful in fixing your issue.

Hi Tyler-

Thank you! Most people just bag on me and don't send me any solutions. This link is very helpful. :) Thanks again.
