Adwords only Tracking Conversions 1/2 the Time

sashagilberg · 08-25-2008, 04:44 AM

hey,

I've got a CB product at powerhome4free.com .

I added the google tracking code to the thank you pages (I have 2: one for the basic pack and a second one for the upsell deluxe pack).

Sometimes whenever I see I made a sale on clickbank, I have a conversion in my adwords account to show the keyword that did it.
Today I had 6 sales and in my adwords account, it only showed 3 conversions. Now I'm not promoting this on places other than PPC, so I'm not sure how that could happen.

What can I do to get google to track 100% of the sales all the time - not just on some days like they are now.

thanks

Did you check back a few hours after the sales occurred? AdWords interface isn't real-time.

Maybe the problem is just in time.

Clicbank needs only 2 minutes to display your sales that you made.So if someone purchases a product now the sale will appear after 2 minutes in your account.

Google needs about 3 hours to display your statistics,in other words you don't have real time statistics in your adwords account.So if someone purchases a product now the sale(conversion) will appear after 3 hours in your google adwords account.

All that is average time,it can vary sometimes but often not.

I don't think that's the problem, it's been well over 8 hours since the last sale

Hi alexgilberg,

The AdWords interface states that conversion data is delayed 24 hours.

sashagilberg · 08-25-2008, 09:04 PM

ah k that seems right. I just checked yesterdays stats and it's tracked 4/5 sales. I'll see if it can track the final keyword by the end of the day.

thanks dburk!
