Hi everyone,

I'm trying to track our CJ data in Google Analytics and want to tag the data according to Google Analytics URL parameters:

[mysite.com...]

How can I get the the URL of the publisher who sent me that link and also some sort of unique ID of the ad that generated that link?

I'm hoping CJ lets me have access to particular parameters (such as {OVKEY} on Yahoo) that I can put into my link URL field..I just don't know what these are and haven't been able to find them documented anywhere.

Any help is appreciated.

Does GA not read the referrer tag automatically?

I haven't launched the program yet (though I will soon). Are you saying that the CJ referrer tag has all of this data in it automatically?

I would expect GA will correctly categorize the traffic as coming from CJ...and I can add the tags that make it easy to know what the source is and what the medium is, but what I'm hoping to do is make sure it also passes in some parameters that allow me to see which ad was served and which publisher sent me the traffic.

The publisher site and the ad that was served are the two dynamic fields that I need to get data on from CJ somehow.
