New AdWords Reports in Google Analytics: Impressive as usual
Google has announced new AdWords report sets in Google Analytics that will help view more specific and detailed reports. These new reports can offer more insight on what happens after a visitor clicks on your ads.

But the new reports provide additional data, like actual search query etc. which were not available in Analytics previously.

New reports will help you establish your Google AdWords traffic by the actual search term, keyword match types, network distribution and many other attributes. To boost performance, Google has also included day parting, placements, and destination URLs reports.
With the help of these new reports, you can see user clicks on exactly matched ads for any key phrase, ad group, or campaign in your account. It will also allow you to see how many pages that ad group visited and the average time spent on the website.
