Does anyone know if there is a reporting software that monitors the exact keywords used when visitors click your ads.

Google Analytics does not do this correctly, all it really does is give a report on the keywords as typed in the Adwords accounts.

I do have reporting software in the admin section of my site, but I can't seperate the organic KWs and the paid KWs, so have to go through all.

Have you tried the seach query report in Adwords?

Just reread your post. Analytics will tell you the paid for and organic keywords seperately.

When you are looking at the Keywords Dashboard you should see to the top left underneath where is says something like
Search sent 30084 total visits via 1027 keywords

you should see tow links. One says paid, the other says non-paid. Click on non-paid to get your list of keywords filtered.

Hi Mike

(you mean click on the paid link to show reports of KWs used through adwords).

Tried that, but all it gives you is a report on the keyword that you have actually listed in your adgroup.

For example, if I have a keyword in my adgroup as 'rc helicopter' and someone clicks through using 'petrol rc helicopter', the paid section in analytics keywords will register it as a 'rc helicopter' and not the actual keyword used.

I know this as my own reporting on the back end of the site shows the exact keyword used.

I learnt sonething new again oday - although to be fair I don;t tend to use Analytics for check keywords thru adwords.

Seems you have two votes for statscounter, although as per my previous post, the adwords report will show you what keywords searches are triggering your ads. Try that as it will already have the data collected and you can go back over all your old logs to find the exact keywords triggering the ad.

I use statcounter on most of my sites, great tool, tells you all sorts of things, in real time too.

Deviltronics - Google Analytics can do it because I recently modified a load of keywords based on what people were actaully typing in. For example one keyword was 'face mask' in a safetywear campaign but some traffic was actually coming from 'buzzlightyear face mask' - not very obvious but it's now a negative keyword.

Analytics is great for this, it just takes some getting used to
