    Hi guys,
    Can anyone shed some light upon the Transaction Value within Google Adwords? What is the difference between conversion and transaction?

    From what I can understand up to now it seems that if a visitor purchases 2 products that would count as 1 conversion and 2 transactions. Is this theory true?

    Many thx

    A conversion is the completion of a pre defined action or objective.

    A transaction is well, a transaction. Surely no explanation needed there...

    A conversion can contain many transactions. Think of a buying placing multiple items (multiple transactions) into his shopping cart and then check out (one conversion).
