Link your Paid Web Analytics profile to the Domain that you are working on or an Ad Account / Page (recommended). For more information see, Create Web Analytics Configuration for Domains and Configuring Web Analytics at the Accounts Level, respectively.
After the Paid Web Analytics profile is created and associated with either a Domain, Ad Account, or Page, the web analytics will be applied to the Web URL section or the Text fields within an ad.
