AdWords Conversion Tracking

[Gary]

I am really fed up with Virtuemart now. The forum is practically dead.

I understand the whole community thing, but when you put days, weeks and months into something and then hit a hurdle that you cant overcome, its really annoying

I have a company managing our adwords campaigns, its costing us money, yet we cant track what sales comes through adwords.

Is there a way to track CONVERSIONS that ACTUALLY works???

Thanks to anyone that bothers to reply.....

Looks like the problem people are having is adding code to the ADMINISTRATOR file via the rool level...proper place is here.

Right - this guy has got the answer:

http://www.serr.biz/virtuemart-1-1-2-seo-cart/google-adwords-tracking-code-virtuemart.html

Via FTP, open components > virtuemart > themes > default > templates > pages > checkout.thankyou.tpl.php
*Having reviewed the forums myself, it seems some people have been adding the code to the same page, but in the ADMINSTRATOR folder. That is where there mistake lay. DO NOT add the code to the ADMINISTRATOR file.
At the end of the code, just add your Google Conversion Tracking code.

just implemented the whole thing in 5 mins, & tested it, and Bingo!! it works

Can you please post the code you used? I think I'm having issues figuring out which variables should be used.

I'm using the OpenPotion analytics plugin, which supports the asynchronous snippet. I'm also using the asynchronous version of the ecommerce code. It should be working, but it's eluding me so far.

I've put this text at the and of checkout.thankyou.php. Conversion_id is of course not real ;-)

<!-- Google Code for purchase Conversion Page -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var google_conversion_id = 100000000;
var google_conversion_language = "pl";
var google_conversion_format = "1";
var google_conversion_color = "000000";
if (<?echo $order_total ?>) {
var google_conversion_value = <? echo $order_total ?>
}
var google_conversion_label = "purchase";
//-->
</script>

Any suggestions how to Echo the Order total? The above suggestion does not work and Google Tag Assistant report an error with the code above.
