Have you been able to find out how to obtain the AW code?
Ok I finally found how to get the code, sheesh.
Here's a link to the instructions http://adwords.google.com/support/aw...&answer=115794
Since the receipt page template is used for all product sales, I am wondering how it will collect data only for the chosen add and it's relation to sales of that product? Would it be this line in the code?
var google_conversion_label
Those are basically the same instructions as those I pointed to several posts back.
I'm not certain, but I believe that the specific ad in question is identified by "var google_conversion_id = 1234567890."
BTW, it occurs to me that, since you're already getting Conversion Counts & Cost/Conversion data displayed in AW, you must somewhere already have AW conversion code in place.
Yes, the company had put in place the aw code several years ago but it is on the wrong pages; download pages, install confirmation pages, etc. Those produce ncorrect data because a person can install a trial but not purchase.
Since poutting the code on the receipt page yesterday, there's still nothing reported. It shows "unverified", does that mean nobody has been to the receipt page at all, or nobody has been to the receipt page after clicking the ad?
If it says nobody has been there at all, it is mistaken and I have done something wrong. Or is there something I need to do in order to verify?
"Unverified" is returned until such time as a conversion resulting from an ad click is first recorded and reported, which can take several hours to be evidenced.Originally Posted by pcs800
It's a good practice to test such by clicking on your own ad, and placing a dummy order, so that you can both capture the source code of the confirmation page that bears the conversion code, for possible troubleshooting purposes, and observe the reported data.
BTW, make sure that said code is in a static portion of the <body>, preferably close to </body>; and, that the confirmation page is not itself generated by a script call.
Well nothing has changed as of the last post. Still says unverified so I went and did a google search for my adowrds keyword, clicked my ad and purchased the product. If that doesn't show up I don't know what to do nexrt. When I created the code for the receipt page, it said there will be a line of text on the page saying something like "data collected by google", but there's nothing of the sort on the receipt page.
The AW conversion script dynamically generates a small screen display advising buyer of their tracking action. If that was not displayed, then most likely either the code is in the wrong place, or the receipt page is being called by a script.
Yes, the receipt page is a "Layout" called dynamically. I was unaware that was going to be an issue. What can I do to remedy the situation?
I have been speaking to support at our seller, they say the code has been placed in the right spot. They don't do it, I just told them where I put it and they said that is correct.
Ok I found out that everything was correct, I had simply not "published" the layout I changed. So I have done another test purchase and "Google Site Stats - Learn More" was there this time, telling me it is working. Now I just have to wait for the sale to show up and see if I can get it over to analytics. Will keep you posted.
Well, nothing is coming up in analytics that I can tell.As mentioned earlier, the two accounts are linked already.
Campaign says "not set" and revenue says zero.
Any ideas?
