google Adwords conversion script

Question

I have a form, that after submit the form I want to run the script of google Adwords conversion.

I'm using ajax and jQuery:

var dataString = 'name='+$('#name').val()+'&'+'phone='+$('#phone').val()+'&'+'mail='+$('#mail').val();
        $.ajax({  
          type: "POST",  
          url: "newLead.php",  
          data: dataString,  
          success: function() {  
                alert('Send successfully');
                var google_conversion_id = myConversionId;
                    var google_conversion_language = "en";
                    var google_conversion_format = "3";
                    var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";
                    var google_conversion_label = "myConversionLabel";
                    var google_conversion_value = 0;
                    $.getScript("http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js");


          }  
        });  

Everything works find, the alert message is jump, the script in newLead.php is working. I just don't see the conversion in google adwords.

What can I do?

Of course I changed myConversionId and myConversionLabel to my real details.

Thanks

I just send off the pixel request myself. Something like the following works for me:

var img = document.createElement("img");
var goalId = 123456;
var randomNum = new Date().getMilliseconds();
var value = 100;
var label = "label";
var url = encodeURI(location.href);

var trackUrl = "http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/"+goalId+"/?random="+randomNum+"&value="+value+"&label="+label+"&guid=ON&script=0&url="+url;
img.src = trackUrl;
document.body.appendChild(img);

That at least registers the conversion, but I'm not sure if there are any issues becuase the actual tracking script isn't loaded.

Just a guess, but may be conversion script expects to see it's variables in Global scope. In your code you define it in local scope - under callback

So instead of var google_... write window.google_...

HTH

Answer 3

I think real conversion appears only after you actually use AdWords (click-through and make conversion) - so that is why you get conversions in AdWords based on number of clicks from AdWords and not from all the sources.

Does it make sense? :)

Have a look at Event tracking, you can link custom events tracked from your website to your google analytics, then link everything together with adwords.
