Google adwords destination link issue

[devdan]

In google adwords I set destination link like this http://www.abcd.com/ and like this http/:www.abcd.com so how google adwords react on both this? And how it will show data in adwords?

Thanks!

Hello Alick,

Acutally for one of the website our developer implemented new checkout steps after that client says that - In google adwords one issue I have found that when destination url for ad is http://www.abcd.com/ (including last /), the level of conversions sees big changes.

If user clicks on Google Adwords ad, then revisits later by typing URL, then Adwords counts conversion but Analytics attributes this to direct channel.

But here adwords is not tracking anywhere near enough transactions as expected compared to old chekout steps.

So not getting where did developer make a mistake.

The destination URL already includes the http:// so I assume http/:www.abcd.com is a typo on here.

It should make no difference whether you use the trailing slash or not and the data will be the same. https://www.en.adwords-community.com/t5/Advanced-Features/trailing-slash/td-p/434036

Hi Dev,

one quick question why are you using two almost same URL in destination URL? I mean what is your purpose. I am asking this because In my view it won't serve any purpose.

Thanks
