How Do You Remove the "Google Site Stats" Tag from a Conversion Page
-
Our company does not want it up there. Is there a way to remove it without have to change the conversion tracking code? It's quite a pain given our internal processes to overhaul many conversion codes. Is there an easy way to do this so that we can simply remove the tag?
-
Displaying "Site Stats logo" is optional since ages ( http://adwords.blogspot.hu/2008/09/conversion-tracking-site-stats-logo-is.html ).
You can modify the "Tracking Indicator" setting of the existing conversion to "Don't add a notification to the code generated for my page." and generate a new tracking code.
The only difference will be in the following line, this way you can change all your conversion codes in bulk:
var google_conversion_format = "2"; // WITH Site Stats logo
var google_conversion_format = "3"; // WITHOUT Site Stats logo
Hope this helps, feel free to ask.

I did a little research, and this page https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1722022?hl=en has useful information about the Site Stats info. Following is the relevant excerpt about when you need the box. I don't have a clear answer for how to change the settings and remove it in bulk, however.
- Conversion Tracking includes the option to notify customers about cookies: During the setup process, we'll help you create a notification box for your website that lets your customers know they're being tracked. This is known as the Google Site Stats box, which appears on your conversion page -- the page customers see after they complete a conversion. This notification appears only for customers who've been referred by Google to your site. When customers click on it, Google tells them that they don't have to accept the conversion cookie if they don't want to and reminds them that none of their personal information is being recorded or used in any way. Customers will also have an opportunity to provide feedback about your website.
- Promote a clear privacy policy: If you don't use the Google Sites Stats box, we ask that you review your website's privacy policy to make sure it discloses your use of tracking technology.

I'd check with Google's Terms of Service. You may be required by their TOS to have that on there.

If you don't want the text to appear but do want the conversion code to remain, could you not just make the text the same color as the background?
It would look like this on a white background: var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";

Running Google Ad Grants? How Much Is Your Monthly Spend?
Hi all - here's a question for everyone running Google Ads through the Ad Grant. How much of the $10,000 available to your account per month do you actually end up spending? I'm trying to see if I am in line with others in the industry. Would you mind sharing with me the type of nonprofit and the amount you're able to spend of the grant per month, on average? Thank you!

Hi All, Just noticed an unusual gap in PPC ads and organic search results in google NZ. while searched the same term in Google AU, it wasn't the same. Did anyone here see something similar?

How to Tell Google About My Near Duplicate Pages?
For my Adwords campaign, I create a separate landing page for each Ad Group, but are similar enough to one another that they may be considered duplicate content. Should I use a canonical tag on the page to tell Google which page is priority? I don't care about any of those pages ranking in search, I'm just using them for my ads. I also don't want to redirect, clearly. Is the canonical tag the correct way to go?

Google Analytics and WorldPay - Tracking Sales/Conversions
Hi there, I recently remember reading somewhere that tracking code could be used to monitor sales/conversions of eCommerce payments that went through WorldPay. I've been looking around the web for news stories, forums, discussions, but all seem to be from 2007 - 2011; was just wondering if anyone knew any up-to-date info they could point me towards? Thanks

Have you used an ad network other than Google Adwords?
We received a cold call from a company called Division-D. They make a lot of promises which sound good (but that's what marketers do 🙂 ). Advertising on a non-Google network probably would have fewer restrictions than an Adwords campaign and they say that they are fully transparent. Would it be worth it to listen to their whole pitch?
