Conversion Software
-
Can someone please suggest a conversion software other than omniture that I can used to track the amount of revenue a specific keyword is bringing into my company?
Is there a way that I can do this using Google Analytics? I know in omniture there is a feature that shows you what the specific keyword is bringing in x amount of dollars. Can you guys recommend any other software that can do this?

Yes, you can track revenue to a specific keyword using Google Analytics. The most thorough way to do this is to implement e-commerce tracking. Google's documentation for this process is here: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingEcommerce.html#Guidelines
That allows you to record both the transaction totals and the specific items included in the order. If that's more info than you need, you can use event tracking to dynamically set a goal value. To do that, you would just add this line of code on your checkout confirmation page:
_gaq.push([``'_trackEvent'``,
'Cart'``,
'Checkout'``,
'Success'``, 40]);
Just dynamically insert the cart value (as an integer) where 40 is in the code and that will record a new event in Google Analytics that includes the value of the order.
Then, within Google Analytics, set up goal tracking based on the occurrence of an event (Cart Checkout Success). When you configure the goal, make sure you select "Use the actual Event Value" for the "Goal Value" option.

There are a lot of other conversion testing tools out there besides Omniture. Unfortunately, Analytics is not one of them. If you'd like to go the free route with Google then you can their Website Optimizer, but it's not very accurate and you can't do full scale testing with it. If you're willing to spend a little money, here are some other popular conversion testing tools:
Kiss Metrics
Visual Website Optimizer
OptimizelyI've also heard Optimizely isn't that accurate though. I'd stick to Kiss Metrics and Visual Website Optimizer. They both come highly recommended. I use Visual Website Optimizer.

Google Analytics may be able to do that for you depending on what type of site/conversion you have. Will you respond back and let me know if you are an ecommerce site, lead gen, or other type of site? I can point you in the right direction with that information. Thanks

Google Remarketing Conversions - Possible Issue
Hi All, When it comes to Google Adwords, when considering conversions, Google assigns each conversion back to the click that originally drove that visitor on the day they clicked. so, even if someone converts today, Google would show that conversion as occurring two weeks ago when the visitor originally clicked on a paid search ad and came to my site. fine...whatever. My question now is if we use a remarketing campaign through the Display Network, and someone converts, will that conversion be shown under their new visit or back on their original click where they did not originally convert, causing them to be included in our remarketing audience? Cant seem to find a straight answer anywhere and hoping someone out there has some guidance.

I really don’t have any data to compare to… For example, this is campaign from the insurance niche from the uk : Clicks – 132
Impr – 6,958
CTR- 1.90%
Conversion – 20 (Not inducing the one that calls the office)
Conversion rate – 16%
Total cost – 704£ How can i know by these number that the campaign is working ? Same here (T-shirts campaign for the Spanish market): Clicks – 1,219
Impr – 26,177
CTR- 4.66%
Conversion – 56
Conversion rate – 4.5%
Total cost – 493€ Probably you will say, check how much you spend and how much you got back ?
This is also a problem for me. I can see the numbers of the conversion but because we are not eCommerce so i cant really know the total income. Do you know if there’s is a way that each for quote that coming to our system
so i will know where it came from ? Like a comment in the url or something ? I think that 90% of our income/quotes comes from the organic as we are ranking very high in Google so its a bit mixed in the system. Any feedback or tips here on this will be very welcome…0 -

Tracking Adwords Conversions for eCommerce ROI
I'm working with a rather large eCommerce customer who needs to be able to track their Adwords conversions for the purpose of determining the ROI of their Adwords campaigns. I've installed code from Google Adwords Conversions on their eCommerce page, but it doesn't seem to be calculating values correctly. Also, where would setting goals in Analytics come in to play if I'm trying to track the conversions of specific Adwords conversions?

How important to conversions is proper English on a website?
Many websites - especially those done in foreign countries by non-native English speakers - have many grammatical and idiomatic errors in the English copy. How important is that to conversions (actually convincing the customer to buy, etc.) Is the poor English a turn-off, a cause for distrust or discomfort - or do people not care? I'd be interested to hear people's personal opinions (the more the merrier) and if anyone has a more global perspective backed by research, testing, etc - that would be great, Thanks in advance!
