    I am just wondering how you can track which people arriving to your site via adwords are then going on to actually click a listing to then be taken to eBay ?

    I am using Analytics.

    I am sure it straight forward but would just like someone to hold me hand. :D

    You should be able to track click from Adwords to your site, but I am not sure about conversion tracking.

    Good luck, I alway end up losing money when I use Adwords. I wish I was better at it.

    Thanks

    I am pretty sure that unfortunately it cannot be done.

    you can set up goal conversions in analytics but you need a destination url or action. as there are so many destination links leaving your site to ebay I don't know how that would be done unless analytics allows you to set up a generic rover destination as the "goal"

    interested to hear more comments on this as it would be extremely useful.
