Adwords Conversion Tracking

[mwilliamson]

Hello,

I'm trying to get Adwords Conversion Tracking up and running. I've followed some of threads - but am getting confused as to where the code should be placed.

Where should the code be placed? In Act_Order04.html? Or Act_ReceiptPrimary.html?

Hi Mike.

Act_Order04.html is the last stage of the checkout process, but a customer can get to this page and then turn their PC off without entering their credit card details. This obviously wouldn't be a conversion.

To record conversions Act_ReceiptPrimary.html must be used. The user will only get to this stage after they've entered everything that's required for the sale to be complete.

The following thread should help:

Thanks. This is really useful. But I have one question on one of the instructions:

5) Now you need to set up your Receipt goal in Google Analytics. You can call it what you like. I call mine 'Receipt'.

Goal Name: Receipt
Goal URL: /receipt.html

How should the Goal URL be entered? As:

http://www.yoursite.com/receipt.html

or

http://www.yoursite.com/acatalog/receipt.html

Enter the goal URL as

/receipt.html

...just as it is above with no domain or path.

This file doesn't actually exist. It's used as a marker to tell analytics that you've reached the goal.
