How to create a lead (being tracked by Google AdWords) via API(not Web-to-Lead form)?

Hi 

 

Is it possible to create a lead (being tracked by Google AdWords) via API without using Web-To-Lead form?

 

If it is what fields should be modified to after lead creation?

 

Thank you for help!

There's an unsupported way to attempt to directly write to the servers we use to synch Adwords with Salesforce.

If you have a custom form that submits via a non-web to lead method, you should be able to add the hidden field named SFGA with your org id to the form, which works for most forms.  Directions are in the Google Adwords Setup tab.

Tom-

I am pretty new to this, so this might be a basic question:

 

I am using the PHP Api rather than a Visualforce Site.  How does this translate?

ah... well unfortunatley, that will require some more work... Have look at these posts regarding php and lead tracking:
