Multiple Adwords Accounts With Analytics

Anyone have a solution?

[PayMePerClick]

I can track all the traffic and conversions from all of the accounts we have under our MCC thanks to manually adding GA code to my ad URLs across our accounts but unfortunately I cannot track the costs, ROI, CPAs, etc. with Google Analytics because Analytics only lets you sync up one Adwords account and it cannot be an MCC.

Is anyone else in this situation? Is there a workaround? I really hope this is something Google is working on.

If there is a workaround; I'd love to hear it.

The Google account's issues are really becoming difficult to to work with.

Your AdWords login must be the same as your YouTube login - or you can't use all of the promoted video features.

If you have multiple domains inside a single AdWords account; then you can only see the full AdWords info for one domain (really need a workaround for this).

With Merchant Center and Google Places; at least Google was smart enough to let you link those logins to your AdWords accounts (and at the campaign level, so you can link multiple places/merchant center accounts to a single AdWords account).

If Google did account linking for YouTube they might see a much higher adoption for YouTube ads and give marketers better analytics insights.

Google Accounts represent maybe 40% of my overall frustration with Google at any given point.

Just a follow-up...

I found out this weekend when working on YouTube ads that you no longer have to use videos from your YouTube account of the same emails as your AdWords login.

Not sure when this change was made; but because it was never announced anywhere that I'm aware of - no idea how long you've been able to do this.

While this is a good change; the lack of any announcement meant that I didn't know (and I'm sure others) that this was now possible.

Wish there was an AdWords change history for things like this.
