Different segment dimensions for paid searches

While segmenting traffic from paid searches on our website I discovered that in segment manager there are 2 dimensions that seem to relate to the same thing, but the numbers slightly differ when applied in a report. What is the difference between dimension "Paid Search" and "Search engine - Paid"?

Hi Alev,

You can configure paid search in the Admin Console > Report Suites > Edit Settings > Paid Search Detection. Here is the document explaining the same - https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/reference/paid_search_detection.html

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you, but where do I configure the "Paid search"? I'd like to know what counts as paid referrer.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. 

The 'Paid Search' would include the traffic from all existing paid referrers but 'Search Engine- Paid' would include the paid links on only the search engine websites like google, yahoo etc

I hope this solves your query.
