This is the wonderful funtion that helps you to deal with large PPC campaign. Although baidu is quite different with google. There is some our clients already have some succesful PPC campaign, they want to copy the success to Baidu. They have their experiment to do. This tool is quite useful then. I attached baidu’s own version of UTM template here. The encodeURI is included. It will convert the Chinese charactor to a recognizable code. So you will be able to track Chinese charactors correctly using google analytics with no problem.

The End

Many of our clients still have problem with using this tool. It might be caused by the system or anti virus software that used in western country. I hope Baidu could spend more efforts on improving its English version. We will keep an eye on it and update to you.
