Google Adwords Tracking, Please help me!

14 replies
I have this google tracking code (From Adwords) : Google tells me to cut and paste the entire code, is this including the first line (Google Code for Kitejunkiee Sales Conversion Page) ?

Here is the code

<!-- Google Code for Kitejunkiee Sales Conversion Page -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var google_conversion_id = 1049430624;
var google_conversion_language = "en_US";
var google_conversion_format = "1";
var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";
var google_conversion_label = "QgfkCNqMoAEQ4JS09AM";
if (43.0) {
var google_conversion_value = 43.0;
}
//-->
</script>

I just got a sale today, but I cant see it in my adwords stats? Im not 100 % sure the sale came from adwords, but also not sure I have the tracking code in the correct place on that page.

    Not familiar with that, but Tracking202 works for me and is also free!

      yes you place all of that code. no, it will not be seen on the page.

      You need to place it on whatever page defines a "conversion" if the shipping page is only hit when someone purchases, then that is probably a good page for it. You only need to place it once, as long as the visitor hits that page then your good.

      put the code at the bottom of the page.

        You have to place it on the final "bought it" page, right aftrer the payment. In xt-commerce it is called checkout_success.php

    Yep, I have it on checkout success page, though its in the middle. Ill wait for another sale and see if it records it - if not ill move it towards the bottom. I have looked at Tracking202, might try it though would like to get google tracker working first, so I can compare them .

    Is there a way to do conversion tracking if you're marketing an affiliate product. All the affiliate sites I know of don't seem to provide a way place this code.

      Yes,

      Prosper202 and Tracking202 are your friends. Free tracking tools,
      Google them. Their is a learning curve, but once you are familiar with it, it will be smooth ride,

      Hope it helps.

      Have you asked the merchant to place your code? I have never had a problem with this.

        Never though about that. But I've heard about merchants stealing affiliate success keyword campaigns (especially if their running PPC campaigns of their own) -- so I really don't want them to see everything I'm doing and keywords I'm bidding on. They might not steal it but some merchants do when they see that they can override you and make all the money with your techniques. So I'd really like an independent way of tracking conversions if at all possible.

    you can't copy paste like that .. it will break the code oscommerce code and it won't work .. use the modified version I posted above .. it will do the trick.

      Since starting affiliate marketing over 4 years ago I have always wondered how to find out exactly which keyword produced my affiliate product sales... I always wanted to be able to track the sale through from my Pay-per-Click Ad through to the product owners remote website thankyou page.

      Finally I have "cracked the code" of exactly how to do it, and I figured if I needed to know how to do it, then other serious affiliate marketers would also need to.

      What I am proposing to do is this:-

      I am going to put together a comprehensive training course on exactly how to do it. It will be a series of videos and will contain full instructions of how to do it - It will be just like as if you were looking over my shoulder as I set it up for myself - everything including how to set it all up, will be explained in full detail.

      So, before I put this course together I am doing an introductory survey to see if this is something people want.

      If you are interested in participating in this survey then please go to
