: How to track in Google Analytics registrations coming from Google AdWords ads? I created a campaign in Google AdWords and some ads in it and gave them URLs like mydomain.tld/registration/?utm_campaign=mycampaing&ad=x

To track registrations in Google Analytics, you need to set up a goal. You can do so by clicking "Admin" -> "Goals" -> "New Goal". You will want to create a new goal with the following details:


Name: registration
Destination: begins with "/registration-completed/"


After you do this, the report in "Acquisition" -> "Campaigns" will automatically begin tracking the number of users that get to this goal as part of this campaign.

To track different ads on the campaign you will need to set a parameter to which Google Analytics pays attention. It will ignore your ad parameter, so you need to use a parameter that it uses. The Google Analytics URL Builder Tool has a list of parameters that you can use:


Campaign Source (utm_source): referrer (google, citysearch, newsletter4)
Campaign Medium (utm_medium): marketing medium (cpc, banner, email)
Campaign Term (utm_term): identify the paid keywords
Campaign Content (utm_content): use to differentiate ads


It would appear that utm_content would be the most appropriate. The problem is that Google Analytics doesn't allow you to deep dive on this parameter that I can tell. If you are not otherwise using them, I would suggest setting utm_source or utm_medium instead. Google Analytics does allow you to click through from the campaign report to see your campaigns by source and medium.

Google Analytic's terms of service preclude tracking individual users. There will be no way of seeing which users are created through your campaigns with Google Analytics.
