In all cases that I'm aware of, the partner site will show up as the referrer rather than the PPC provider. To track partner / PPC combinations, you could set the PPC destination URL to include a tracking code - eg www.example.com/index.html?ppc=espotting Matching up these requests with the referral info will give you a good picture of where your paid traffic is coming from.

This is a question I have been thinking about as well. I need the blanks filled in ;-) A referrer string ie. www.example.com/index.html?ppc=espotting leads to a non existant page on my site...so do I make a change in my httaccess file to redirect this page to my main page? Thanks ;-) itrainu

So long as index.html exists you should be fine - anything after the '?' will just be discarded by the server, but will show up in your logs. Anything you put after the '?' is treated like parameters passed to a CGI script, but as the page is actually html and not a script, it just ignores the parameters you've given it :) Added: This might not work if you already have some URL rewriting going on using mod_rewrite or similar
