Quick Conversion tracking question

I don't get it, I have the code installed properly. I have conversion tracking in google set up to "sign up" or "lead" but it tracks the clicks from my ads, not the people that sign up. I've gone through all the google help but I can't figure it out. What am I missing?

      Are you sure the code is on the correct page?

      Your conversion tracking code should be on the thank you page or the page you are taken to after signing up for your offer not the page your offer is on.

      Other possibility - Google can sometimes take up to 24hrs to track a conversion so if you have only just put the conversion code on then you might want to leave it a day or so.

      When a user converts on your site are they taken to a page with a different URL? If the URL remains the same then you will probably need to look at event tracking.

        Google tells you to paste the action page. Is that the thank you page that they get taken too or the opt-in page that they enter their information into?

          It should be the page they are taken to after they opt in. If it was on the opt-in page then it will think that everytime someone lands on that page then it is a conversion (even if they don't fill in and submit the form). So the code needs to be on the page they land on after they fill in and submit your form (the page they can only get to after they perform your desired action).

          Googles official instructions:

          "Where should I insert the conversion tracking code snippet?


          First, choose a page that users reach when an action you consider to be desirable has been completed. For example, this might be the 'Thank you for your purchase/download/subscription' page, which a user reaches after they've finished a transaction. This is the conversion page, where you should place the conversion tracking code snippet.


          The code should be placed between the <body> and </body> tags, in a valid HTML location. It should not be between the < and > of any other tag.
          Usually, the tag is placed towards the bottom of the web page."
