Adwords conversion data versus Analytics

alinkfred · #1 (**permalink**) 10-26-2007, 02:31 PM

I have been using adwords for many years to record conversions. We have also had our own internal system to monitor conversions. For years Adwords has been overstating the actual conversions. We even had Google people look at our system and they could not find anything wrong.

The conversions in Anaytics seems to be fairly close to the truth. Adwords seems to report 3 times the conversions reported in Analytics

Has anyone got experience with this same problem?

Alinkfred,

I wouldn't mind sharing notes. I've got sites that record more in Adwords than Analytics and vice versa.

Fred,

We also experienced the same and we stopped relying on Adwords Reports. We have started to get reports from Analytics for our strategies.
