PPC Tracking

non-hosted soulutions that ONLY do PPC tracking

[edit_g]

Ok... Looking for a non-hosted (i.e. lives on my own server, not somewhere else) program that only does PPC tracking (i.e. no webtrends, urchin, insertnamehere log analyser software).

Any ideas?

Oh - and it's got to be decent. :)

I've always done them custom using php, not really sure if that is an option for you

tracking urls on all the terms/campaigns and then parsing that when they come in, saving it and then producing reports

I haven't really seen anything that is publicly available

[edit_g]

Yeah, sadly that's not an option. :(

Hi,

I plan to use Javascript on my landing pages to write a cookie with referer and search term etc as part of the data written to the cookie. I'm putting an "onLoad" as part of the body tag to action the script. There are standard functions around the web for writing cookies using Javascript.

The cookie will then be read by the (in our case) Perl script that is called on conversion and the data will then be pushed into our database.

I know that cookies and Javascript are not the perfect answer but in our situation I've decided that this combination is an acceptable solution. I may look at using PHP at a later date if I can be bothered to change the rest of my scripting.
