I'd like to ask you, my fellow SEW forumsgoers, how to mine unique queries from adwords. That is, when I get a click on an ad through some long tail variation, how can i find out what the exact long-tail phrase was? Here's a copy of a conversation between myself and abottsys (nothing that can't be shared publicly; if it's a problem, AS, ask me and I'll remove it) to help clarify what I mean:
So if I'm using that in my destination URLs with either phrase or broad match I'll see the unique queries? Any way to do that and get the full thing if the query is over 35 characters? Thanks a lot for your help!
Oh, I think you're looking for something different. What you're asking is how do you track actual keywords. For example, how do you see the actual keywords used when running an ad on a single broad or phrase matched keyword. The {KeyWord:Alternate} construct *will* cause an actual keyword to be displyed in the ad, but I'm not sure how you would do official stats tracking on all the keywords used if your web stats package did not give you this data. It's a great question. Maybe ask the forum. In general, using something like mydomain.com/{KeyWord:Alternate}.html as a landing page URL is not good for several reasons. 1) it will cause the page request to fail if the page does not exists, and 2) spaces between keywords are a problem.
So: How do I find out exactly what searchers are typing when they click one of my broad-matched or phrase-matched ads?
