Adding Google Adwords Conversion Tracking to thankyou page (for enquiries)

When you setup a Google Adwords campaign it is a good idea to setup conversion tracking so you can monitor just how many orders or enquiries are coming from your Adwords investment. With this data you can then calculate the cost per conversion or cost per sale and decide whether or not this method is really worthwhile. If setup correctly Google Adwords is a very effective method of marketing and can generate a high return on investment. If you would like to setup Adwords tracking for an ecommerce order conversion you should use the Adding Adwords tracking code to an order receipt page article
 

Step 1. Setup Google Adwords

Of course you cannot setup conversion tracking without a Google Adwords account. You can setup a Google Adwords account yourself or you can get us to help you with it
 

Step 2. Setup Conversion tracking with Google Adwords

Once you have setup your Adwords account and created your first campaign, you should then setup conversion tracking. You do of course need to think about all the different conversions you would like to track. For example a service based website might track enquiries. Perhaps signups to an email newsletter?
Because all conversions are not created equally, for example an order will be of greater value than a simple enquiry, you have the ability to give each conversion goal a separate value in $$. You might apply $100 for an email signup and just $20 for an enquiry.
You should setup separate conversion tracking for each conversion on your website
