If you don't know what I mean, read on -- look for your ad in the SERP and then click on it yourself, and look at the landing page (I guess that is the home page)URL, does it have the word "gclid" in it? If not, the referring info is getting stripped out, almost always by a redirect. Pixels, do a gclid test.

How about two different accounts … a Google Analytics account and an AdWords account?

When you sign up, each account gives you JavaScript with its own unique ID number.

I’m trying to figure out the best setup.

Do you think the best way to track AdWords is to use the Google Analytics JavaScript on each web page, and track AdWords in GA?

Would you ever use the AdWords JavaScript?
