Facebook PPC. Using Google URL Builder - Now What?

[evolvingSEO]

Hey There!

So I've been trying some FB PPC ads. I recently learned I needed to use Google's URL builder to add the appropriate tracking fields into the URL (source, campaign, etc). The FB ad link now uses a custom URL with all the correct parameters.

Now what do I do in analytics?  Do I create a filter?  A goal?  Getting a little dizzy going in circles with google analytic help, and I'm hoping someone here can direct me.

Thanks!

Hi Dan

Thanks for that article. Just now I realize my mistake.  I was simply looking for "campaigns" under traffic sources.  Since I've not done any adwords before its not something I normally look at.  But when I look at campaign, sure enough I see the Facebook ad traffic as a campaign source.

From there I can set up the goals etc to track conversion.

Thanks!
