    i am having a problem, i am sure i have made a conversion from my adwords campaign but the conversions are not showing up, and when I go to my thank you page the "google stats" image does not even appear. Will google adwords conversion tracking work with a clickbank product? since they go to the clickbank order form and then to the thank you page? How can I make this work? thank

    Hey ViralGuy,

    Simple, non-techie answer: If the "thanks for purchasing" page is tied to a URL other than the one you're driving your traffic to (ie, you're driving your PPC traffic to your URL, but they purchase at a different URL) then no, it won't track it. It doesn't track activity across multiple websites.

    no it is the same website, but im wondering if the problem is because the user clicks to the clickbank payment page and then to my thank you page. is that the problem?

    Hmm. In theory it would cookie your PPC user, but it sounds like the brief kick over to the clickbank page is erasing that.

    Do you have goal tracking set up in Analytics? If so, does it track ok through that route or is it dropping it there as well?
