    Hey Guys,

    I have an Adwords problem, see if any of you have come across it before.
    Basically we are plugged into an affiliate program and we get affiliates making sales for us, one thing they have asked us to do is place the Adwords tracking code on our successful order page.
    Problem is this.
    I have already placed my tracking code there. Will putting both create problems or not? I don't want to break any Terms that's all.

    Not sure about multiple code in the same page, but I would just have your affiliates pass a key in their affiliate link like:

    www.domain.com/?glid=1234532 and then program your sales page to convert that to a variable in the google analytics script. Pretty easy...

    just a thought. you can even do it with clickbank stuff and the variable will pass through with the hoplink.

    Thanks spider, we do track stuff vuia affiliate codes but this guy specifically wanted Adwords and he has been a good affiliate so we were trying to accommodate.

    Just so everyone knows you CAN NOT stack them. It breaks it.

    You are right. It does break it. Add the code to a a special thankyou page with a unique ID for the affiliate.
