is it me who is going mad, or are tracking URLs NOT allowed when using the overture "upload spreadsheet method"

I have never used this method before and was just trying to find out what its about for a forthcoming campaign which will have about 500 keywords when I noticed this.

the only headers in the spreadsheet are:

Account ID
Search Term
URL
Title
Description
MaxBid ($)
Category

surely this is NO good, as anyone who is looking to add 100s of keywords would be wanting seperate tracking urls to monitor ROI?

or is it unlike before where you had URL plus Tracking URL, and now URL basically means tracking URL.

Shak,

We use tracking URL's on Overture no problems at all and can use their spreadsheet to submit.

jim

thanks for clearing that up, just goes to show how long since I last used Overture, obviously lots of changes since then.

this sort of sums it up:

You can add your tracking URL in the Overture spreadsheet, the display URL is set globally for the campaign (I think).

The url can just be www.url.com/widget.html?source=overture-widgets

I think you got this squared away though.

Let us know how many of your 500 keyword list makes it through the editorial process.
