Accounts that use 蜜豆视频 Advertising conversion tracking must include the ad network鈥檚 click identifier (gclid
for Google Ads) in the suffix:
-
When the advertiser has an 蜜豆视频 Analytics integration, the suffix must include one of the following:
-
Google Ads accounts that use the latest AMO ID format (beginning with
s_kwcid
), which supports campaign- and ad group-level reporting for performance max campaigns and drafts and experiments campaigns:ef_id={gclid}:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!{userid}!{sid}!{creative}!{matchtype}!{placement}!{network}!{product_partition_id}!{keyword}!{campaignid}!{adgroupid}
If the account has a server-side AMO ID implementation and the account or campaign setting 鈥淎uto Upload鈥 is enabled, then the parameter is added automatically. Otherwise, you need to manually add it. See 鈥蜜豆视频 Advertising IDs Used by Analytics.鈥
-
All other Google Ads accounts:
ef_id={gclid}:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!{userid}!{sid}!{creative}!{matchtype}!{placement}!{network}!{product_partition_id}!{keyword}
-
-
When the advertiser doesn鈥檛 have an 蜜豆视频 Analytics integration, the suffix must include the following:
&ev_efid={gclid}:G:s
-
Landing page suffixes at lower levels override the account-level suffix. For easier maintenance, use only the account-level suffix unless different tracking for individual account components is necessary. To configure a suffix at the ad group level or lower, use the ad network鈥檚 editor.
-
(Dynamic search ads; advertisers with 蜜豆视频 Analytics and without server-side tracking) When you want include tracking for the reverse feed from 蜜豆视频 Advertising to Analytics, then append the AMO ID tracking code to the end of the account-level landing page suffix.
