Adwords {placement} Tracking Problem

Hey guys, I have this tracking link

http://mydomain.club/?flux_fts=qttzoooqpxlqoxttxzeqzzxcaiatergergqoxtx3 cd2e&gclid=0&adgroup={adgroupid}&ad={creative}&mat chtype={matchtype}&network={network}&kw={keyword}& placement={placement}&target={target}&adposition={ adposition}&lpurl={lpurl}

My issue is with the {placement} variable and this is what Adwords ad placement stats look like Click image for larger version.

Views:	46

Now this is what Funnelflux shows me Click image for larger version. 

Name:	screenshot2.png 
Views:	39 
Size:	315.1 KB 
ID:	18124 for the {placement} variable.

I thus have no idea how to correspond what placement from Adwords goes with which one from the tracker.

I've talked with both FFlux and Adwords support on this and no side seem to have a solution.

Hopefully someone can chime in on what's going on here?

I know this maybe be silly and not too accurate, however it's options.

OptionA
1. Export the placement data from google, then export your tracker data.
2. Put them in 1 excel file then you can either do a vlookup or index match on click volumes per day or what time period you want. Or just sort by volume filter to the larger volume placements.

The numbers won't be on point however it may possibly give you a clearer click match on placement which you can exclude then see what numbers/ placements drop off in your tracker then you can start matching up the placements in the file manually.

Long winded however, if you do the excel match up and the numbers are close matches you going in the right direction.

OptionB
Your alternative, this is long shot however it sometimes depends on who you get on chat or phone you can get an account manager you can share the tracker variables with via google doc and they can pinpoint for you on the backend, which they most likely cannot tell you upfront or they know someone in-house who can point them in the right direction.
However you got to find the right person, maybe use linkedIn to find google reps or something.
