I am looking for the raw search term used in a Google search that resulted in our Adword ad being displayed and clicked.

I am currently using Google Analytics. Which appears to only provide the raw search term from organic Sources. This is found in the CPC vs Organic Conversion report. This report only provides Adword keywords for Google CPC Source and not raw search term (keyword).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is so important to know. I use the LevelTen Hitcounter (do a search, it's free) coupled with Google Analytics. It shows the raw query string that triggered Google Ads, as long as you make sure to tag the ad on your destination URL with something to the tune of?source=PPCgoogle_campaign_adgroup_keyword.

Tagging the URL in Adwords is a good idea and does work. But I have thousands of keywords and it is not feasible to associate each keyword to it’s own tagged URL. I do not understand why Google is not providing this information. Yahoo has a new tool called “Tracking URLs” and it provides the raw search term, my keyword and landing page. I just started using this tool and have learned more in the last few weeks about how people are searching for my products then I have in the last four years. Also, it very helpful in building a negative keyword list.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
