    How To Setup Google Adwords Conversion Tracking In 5 Easy Steps

    Most clients I come across that has done “some” Adwords Pay Per Click (PPC), have lots of questions about it, since it’s not working for them.

    And, with Google Adwords new options, tools and strategies (more competitive marketplaces) – answers get more complex too.

    We use a checklist, and when we ask about targeting, display (content) network versus search network, bidding strategies, ad copy, ad optimization selections, keyword match types and perhaps most importantly, conversion code – we get blank stares. That’s ok. It’s not their job to run a profitable PPC campaign, if they can only spend 20-30 minutes each week. And, they are unsure about how to set it up correctly in the first place, test and create viable actions based on results.
