Can someone tell me the best way to determine sales from paid and organic search please? In a nutshell i need to know which is performing better in terms of revenue.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can append your URLs to track each sales source through Google Analytics here:
ironically i just figured this out for myself using only basic queries. It took ages to figure it out though, at least 4-6 days of pain and agony as i tried php server and header functions.
As ever, it brought about more problems. Seems google is forever checking your links and as such logs hits. More so when i update a google ad or keyword. Its a real pain as it looks like the client has been paying for hits it never got. PLUS, not all hits are picked up for some reason? I do block logging of cerain ip's but im not in a much better position as it lonly logs 50% of hits that Google itself logs and i pay for PLUS its logging in googles inhouse link spiders.
Any ideas on that?

Wish I could help you I only specialize in shopping feeds and comparison shopping merchant accounts. Might want to expand this question and post it as it's own topic.
