    Hi,

    I have been looking at Google conversion tracking and Analytics Conversion I am sure they are similar...

    Anyway, my question concerns both of them, when I set up the Conversion Tracking, I am meant to paste the Code into the page I want to track.

    The example Google give is the 'Thank You' page customers see after the purchase of a product....

    The problem I have is that the merchant services control this page, so how can I set up any conversion tracking?

    You have to email the code to the merchant and hope they place it for you.

    So once this is in place I can then monitor conversion rates...The problem I can't get my head around is this tunneling!!??!!

    As we only have one thank page on completion of payment, who do I now which is route is more successful or not...? As the end point is the same for puchases I will never be able to compare two routes for the same product...?

    Or am I being a little thick and I need some coffee and nicotine?
