Ok, here's the deal - developer only has the ecommerce module from Urchin - has not upgraded to Campaign yet. We need to stay with this solution for right now.

here's what we wanted to do to try to track PPC referrals in the meantime, but a test shows that it isn't working correctly - use a second domain - the .net version of the .com to pass the Google, Overture referrals through, and use an
http refresh OR a meta refresh on the .net domain to pass the user to the .com domain, and hope the .net would show as a referrer - it seems like it should have, but it's not.

was there something wrong with the logic there, or is there something we may be missing, or another solution we can try, short of building a custom cookie deal, which may be the next step, but the domain plan was the easiest for the short term.

Elisabeth, I am not sure if that would work well. Maybe I don't understand how your doing that. Seems like it would be much easier to track it yourself with custom software then do what your doing.

Of course I use the campaign tracking module, so i dont have this problem. :)

Oh, but the ROI tracking is a bit of a pain to set up correctly in 5.6.

Obviously the Urchin users are hiding... did you get it worked out Elisabeth?
If not will find out for you, don't use it personally but others I know do.
