I am going to implement logger to know better where customers came from and how much money the spent, .....

So every my advertising link will include parameter like "src=adwords" or "src=bizrate"

And my logger will log all necessary info and redirect quietly to link without parameters.

Example: User clicked on link [mysite.com...]
He ends up being redirected to [mysite.com...]

Questinos:
1. Is it better to do 301 or 302 redirect in this case?
2. Will it affect any "AdWord score quality" of the page? Since their engine that checks quality will be redirected as well.
3. Anything else i should be concerned with with this aproach?

PS: I do know about google analytic that does same thing but i need to get my custom reporting tool.
thanks.

We have been using a temp redirect 302 for long time now and never had issues. The GOOG quality bot is following the 302 redirect to check the correct landing page.

Every third party ad tracking system I can think of uses a 302 redirect. This has been standard practice for years so you'll have no problems.
