Hi, I am trying to start tracking Google Adwords in urchin 6.6. Test CPC Source is successful. The download from my Google Adword Account seems to run without problems. But there are either cost data nor counts for impressions in the Advertisement Optimization. Am I right in thinking Urchin can not read this data from the Google adword report? Is it a problem in Urchin or in Google Adwords?
Are you manually tagging your AdWords destination URLs? Urchin can't read the gclid parameter used in autotagging, so you need to either manually tag or use master codes. These parameters need to be present in both the destination URL and the landing page and read correctly by your UTM code. If Urchin is unable to attribute visitor activities on the site to a specific AdWords campaign, then it won't be able to match up cost data to those visits either.

Hi Jeremy, thanks for helping. Now we are using Master Codes with the lookup table filter (utm_id). Yes, Urchin indicates the campaigns like before. Do you understand the destination URL as a page defined as a goal? However, at next we have to fix this failure message in the CPC Download History: I've read this failure here many times, But no one could give a clear answer. So, I hope know it,s the time ...

OK, now Urchin_help advise me to download manually a .tsv file from Google Adwords Reports. But where I have to put them in order that Urchin can read the cpc cost data?
#Please enlighten me. Many Greets, Johnny

I've got a similar problem like yours, I see successfull accesses to the cpc source in the scheduler logs, but all data being downloaded into the data/cpc directory is like this one:
/usr/local/urchin/data/cpc/1/1# unzip -l 5a3d9f1a.zip Archive: 5a3d9f1a.zip Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 0 02-08-10 15:13 5a3d9f1a.cpc 12 02-08-10 15:13 .5a3d9f1a.lasthit -------- ------- 12 2 files
I trigger the cpc request via scheduler at 2:00 o'clock in the morning and much later the day, according to the timestams, the data file (the zip archive) is being downloaded from the google server.
In my case, the data file is quite useless, as you can see the cpc file has a size of zero bytes.
Recently I found the log in the adwords webinterface that keeps telling me that the cpc request my scheduler issued was about data for the last 10 years? Oh, just had a look in the cpc scheduler logs and there:
Urchin 6.602 (linux2.6_kernel) starting: 20100208 15:08:50 [Mon Feb 8 15:08:50] Processing CPC logs 'cpc one' (adwords) Worker 32005: Requesting data for 2000-01-02 - 2010-02-07
This is from the run which resulted in the zero byte file, I posted at the beginning.
As you can see, we are running urchin 6.602, but we had the same issues with 6.601. I was in hope the update would solve my problems.
Hi there, now I become more clever. Urchin downloads the CPC Log Data and the CPC Account Data. But still it is not perfect. Not all of the Campaigns in Adwords are shown in CPC Structure though I am using keyword insertion. Perhaps keyword insertion is not completely embedded. Is it neccessary to do keyword insertion in each ad group? Have I go like this:
