What is a Yclid tag?
This is a backup way for the system to find the source of clicks on your ad, and it’s needed when the pegged counter can’t link a click to Yandex.
Yclid will also help if you forgot or did not have time to specify the counter, creating a new campaign.

The share of ad transitions for which automatic link markup works will gradually expand, as a result, Yandex Direct will begin to use it for all ad transitions to improve the quality of statistics.

The system, first of all, will look at the meter data. Only if this field is empty, it will find the source of the click in a backup way (via the clid tag), you will not need to make changes to the work of already configured advertising campaigns.
