Can I add the Adwords conversion tracker inside a button instead of a thank you page?

TIA!

Hi Hutch42,
Here's what we did.
What do you think? We haven't implemented this yet. It's still in planning stage.

First you will need to create an event.
You may need to wait until this event is populating in GA to continue, but then you will need to go to the Admin panel of GA and create a Goal. Select the option for Event here and add in your goal's details.
Assuming GA & AdWords are linked: Once your goal is registering in GA, it will appear in the "Import Conversion from Analytics" tab in Tools > Conversions and that will allow you to bid against it as a conversion.

Hi Jasmine,
How do you do this?
-
I'm not sure about the specifics around using the AdWords code for this (you may need additional code to tell the conversion tracker t, but here's the way I'm most familiar going about it: you will need to make the button click a goal in Analytics then port it over to AdWords.
-
Yes you can, make sure that you don't just add it into the button but you use an onclick command to call a script that will run and place the code onto the page. Be careful because if you do it this way it will send a conversion on the button click even if it does not lead to the proper conversion (such as if you placed it on a form submit button but the user had not completely filled out the form).

Lead Conversion on Facebook
Hi Mozzers, We are currently running FB ads and I am wondering if I should rely on the facebook lead conversion metric https://cl.ly/412f1j1a021I. I tend to rely heavily on Google Analytics for this kind of data(by adding goals). Of course GA doesn't not show as much conversions as Facebook does. So which platform should I be relying on for conversion metrics? Thanks for letting me know!

Near-duplicate content for landing pages - use noindex?
We want to create 5-10 near-duplicates of our homepage to use as landing pages – nearly all same text, but some different images. We want to make sure Google doesn't ding us for duplicate content. Is the best way to do that to tag each of these pages with "noindex"?

Does anyone else get a crazy amount of misdials to your AdWords call extension?
Not sure how many people here also do PPC, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Since we added a call extension to one of our AdWords campaigns a few months ago, we have gotten a crazy amount of misdials/wrong numbers. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Here's what happens: We choose one of the numbers we own, say 888-123-4567, and set it up so it displays ADWORDS on the phone's screen when it rings. This way, our customer service and sales reps will know when they are taking an AdWords call. We type that number into the call extension settings. AdWords then assigns a different number to us, which will appear on our ads and forward to our number. Say it's 888-234-5678. Then for months, every "ADWORDS" call we get is someone trying to reach a different company at 888-234-5679 or 888-235-5678. In other words, the number they're trying to dial is one digit off from the number AdWords assigned to us. When we first reported this to AdWords before Christmas, they simply assigned us a new number. It did not help. Now we just get misdials for different companies. So are we alone in this wrong-number phenomenon?

Adwords Bulk Discount
Had a few calls recently from agencies offering bulk discount on Google Adwords spends if we pass management over to them and spend more than £5,000 ($7,500) a month, they claim they can offer a 5% discount over what we're currently paying... Can't find anything about this, does Google offer such a deal to agencies?

Google Analytics and Adwords Tracking Codes
A site I help someone with in link building was recently redesigned. I do not have access to the site in any way. Well, after the redesign, no conversions were tracking in Adwords and Analytics ecommerce tracking showed no transactions and no amounts. I found the Analytics code and sent it to their programmer. I have linked the Adwords and Analytics accounts. So now conversions are tracked in Adwords and transactions are tracked in Analytics. However, amounts have vanished and not returned. I'm not technically savvy enough to figure this out. How do I get this Analytics code to track transaction amounts so that they appear in Adwords and in Analytics ecommerce tracking?

Does an AdWord campaign affect your rankings?
Say for instance you are in the business of "lawn mower repair," and you are ranking for that keyword. If you were doing an AdWord campaign on that keyword, would that also affect your organic rankings in the SERPs for that keyword?
