Google adwords & conversion results tracking

[sarah1980]

People don't click the google conversion feedback link at the conclusion of their order.

 

This obviously is a big problem because I just don't know the cost of conversion.

 

Does anyone know of a work around to bypass the voluntary aspect of getting this conversion info?

 

Any info would be appreciated.

Hello Sarah ...

 

Your customers DO NOT need to click on the link in order for google to track that conversion. The link Google provides is there for the Customer to "Choose" wether to accept the Google conversion tracking cookie. If they do click the link (99% dont give a sh8t), google will simply prompt them to continue to accept the cookie.

 

Here is the actual FAQ article from Google:

 

Google has chosen to use visible Google Site Stats text for the conversion tracking process to make this process apparent to users. Our goal is not to place our brand or promote our company on your web pages; however, we feel that it is important to be honest with and respect the privacy of users being tracked.

 

For example, if users see and click on this text, Google provides them with information about not accepting the conversion tracking cookie if they wish, and we assure them that none of their personal information is being used or recorded in any way. Users can also learn more about conversion tracking itself by clicking on this text, and will also have the opportunity to provide feedback about their experience with your site.

 

We made the Google Site Stats text block as unobtrusive as possible, and ask that you place it in a corner of your confirmation page (the page after a transaction has taken place).

 

 

Hope that helps

I installed the affiliate contribution and then setup my different adwords as affiliates. I can then add a ref onto the link submitted to adwords and this is then tracked. Its not full proof as people may add you to there favourites with the reference in the url. This could be solved in htaccess I think. It will however tell you if someone enters from your adwords and buys something. Its working enough for me to track whats going on.
