Hi, guys, I am using google conversion tracking to track the leads generated. Ideally, I should place the tracking code on the confirmation page, which is from the confirmation link in the sign-up confirmation email. In my case, my confirmation page is an OTO sales pitch. Can I have accurate tracking if, A) My prospects refresh the OTO sales pitch after their sign-up? B) In the first several days, I need to access OTO sales pitch to do some tweak. Will my visit be considered a 'conversion'? Thanks David
David, It will only register as a conversion if you find went to the page through a paid search ad. Not sure if there would be a conversion with a refresh.
sinpeople, depending on how comfortable you are with scripting you can exclude the conversion code for testing. For example, on our landing pages I use a piece of PHP code to block the addition of the conversion tracking code to the page when the request is coming from our office IP address or when a visitor has a login cookie from the admin section of our website. As for the page reload, my testing resulted in the following: In adwords reporting you have "conversions" and you also have "counts". The conversion happens once but the count (and value) will double. So say you setup a conversion action called "ThanksPage" and set its type to "Signup" in adwords. If you go to the "Thanks Page" once you will get 1 conversion and a signup "count" of 1. If you then reload the page you will still have 1 conversion but now the "count" will be 2. At least those are my results. I would be happy to hear from others that have tried the same thing.
