    Hi,
    I enabled the conversion tracking option on AdWords. i installed the code on my thank you page.

    I'm starting to see conversions already but i don't know which ones they are. We have about 3-5 sales a day and i can see that 1-2 a day is coming from my AdWords campaigns on average.

    I'm not interested to include the amount of the sale on the Google code because many of our sales have to same amount - same products.

    How can i track the orders i get with the conversion tracking feature? I thought of putting the order number in the Google code on the thank you page but I'm not sure if that the way to go...

    Hope you can help..
    thanks

    "I'm starting to see conversions already but i don't know which ones they are"

    What do you mean by this? Adwords shows which keyword has converted.

    I mean that i don't know which sale is the conversion. i know the keyword but if i had 2 sales of the same product on the same day i can't determine which one came from my AdWords campaigns...

    You can check your sites log files to see which sale came through a Google Ad. This is the manual way. Alternatively you can change your basket process to stamp the referer URL onto the sale. Thats more tricky but it will mean you have an automatic process of tracking.

    It sounds like you want transaction level tracking. Options for this: DART Search, or some kind of hack to match up data logs (manual, as someone else mentioned).
