Figure 3-1 Google Conversion tab

Managing Google Conversion Tracking The Google Conversion tab (Figure 3-1) allows you to add conversion tracking for your website through Google Adwords. You must have a Google Adwords account to use the Google Conversion Menu.

Conversion tracking involves placing a few lines of code into your website to track how a user navigates from a Google Adwords ad to a conversion page within your site. A conversion is define by the Web Analytics Association as “a percentage of a visitor type who complete a multistep conversion process with a defined beginning and end within 30 minutes, whether it be signing up for a newsletter, buying a product online or some other desired outcome.” You can read more about conversion tracking at https://adwords.google.com/select/setup.pdf
