---- Keyword Destination URL stops working - again

I found a technical workaround (quick&dirty) for this problem:

1. Your keyword destination URLs need to contain {creative} and {keyword}
2. Your keywords have to be exact match
3. Your system has to know creative id, relations between creatives and keywords (adgroups), real keyword click urls
4. Match the click to a adgroup using creative id
5. Search for the keyword you got from {keyword} in this adgroup
6. Get the keyword destination URL Google didn't use
7. Be happy, keep tracking

Sorry if this makes no sense for most of you, but I'm sure there are some people out there trying to get around this problem, too. And while Adwords isn't reliably using the keyword destination url, this is the only way to get around it.
