    Hi everyone.
    Lately I've been experiencing weird and suspicious activity with my Google conversion tracking.
    Every two days or so Google tells me there has been a conversion, but ClickBank still shows me no conversions or conversions from other words.
    What's going on? I've contacted the publisher and ClickBank, checked all my affiliate links, and made sure nothing can hurt the buying process or steal my commission (such as save-a-sale).
    But Google stills shows conversions and ClickBank still shows Google is wrong.
    What's going on here?

    Blame Google. They wouldn't admit it, but they have been giving me some weird results lately. And when I got in touch with them via chat, the representative had no idea what he was talking about :(

    bl4ckmaN^ - I do the TID at the page level since I still need to figure out a way to use TID without interfering with my QS.
    And I like Google's tracking because it shows me the exact keywords in the reports, CB's TID doesn't (since I don't use all exact match).

    Maybe someone gets to your thank you page, without paying, and Google counts that as a conversion?

    Probably someone has bookmarked the thank you page and has gone back to re-download the product.

    this is what happens:

    Somebody clicks on your ad... google registers the click.

    they then click on another ad that is promoting the same product. They then purchase the product from another aff.

    Once the thank you page comes around google sees that you got a click and then a purchase was made. So it will mark this as a conversion.

    I guess you could say getting a ggl conversion but no CB sale is like an assist in YSM


    hope that makes SOME sence
