g1 | Campaign name |
g2 | Ad set or placement |
g3 | Creative ID |
g4–g15 | Any additional custom dimensions |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many sub-parameters can I use? A: source plus g1 through g15 — 16 total per link.
Q: Can two affiliates share one tracking link? A: No. Each link has a unique affid. Never share one affiliate's link with another — attribution will be wrong.
Q: Where do sub-parameter values appear in reports? A: Custom Report → Group By Source, g1, g2, etc.
