Hmm having looked over that, it looks like we have that sort of system already in place. It's really individual clicks that we need to match up which is why ideally we need a list of clicks that Google say we have had so to reconcile that with our list of visits. It seems that the gclid is used in Analytics for just that purpose. Unless I've missed something in the Value Track documentation you linked to, there doesn't seem to be a way of passing a unique identifier for each individual click that we can later reconcile to ensure our recorded number of clicks match Google's number of clicks exactly so we can display the correct spend for a day overall. The gclid seems the nearest thing to what we need, the missing link being the gclid being available in the click performance report in the previous reply...
