9. Why is Autotagging your links important?
   
   Answer:
   Autotagging helps Analytics differentiate the traffic coming from Google paid listings (Adwords), outlined in green on the slide, and traffic coming from Google organic listings, which are outlined in red.
   If autotagging is not enabled, your Analytics reports will show that the clicks from the sponsored listings and the organic listings are both coming from the same source: google organic. By default, Analytics considers them both to be from Google organic search results. For this reason, enabling autotagging allows you to see which referrals to your site came from your paid Google campaigns and which ones came from Google organic search results.

10. Is there a way to see a list of Keywords and their gclids?
    
    Answer:
    You can not tie a gclid to a keyword search. But you can add a tag to your URL that will show you the keywords searched. We add this to the URL as a query string:
    
    ?utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=PPC&utm_term={keyword}&utm_content={creative}&utm_campaign=AdGroup&Network={ifContent:Content}{ifSearch:Search}&SiteTarget={placement}
    
    That takes care of your internal tracking and also gives Analytics something to track.
