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";

Adwords Ad disapproved - Banned product on Site (glutamine)?
We are starting to get ads disapproved. One yesterday, one today. The reason - banned supplement 'glutamine'. Neither of these ads were for glutamine so I assume it's because l-glutamine is sold on the site. The actual ad for l-glutamine landing on the l-glutamine page has not been disapproved? In 2012 Google informed us the glutamine was no longer on the banned list so I'm not sure what's going on here? Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there a solution apart from removing the product entirely?

Adding AdWords Remarketing Pixel to "Partner" Domains?
I have read through the AdWords advertising policies, but there isn't an extremely clear answer to my question: does it break AdWords policy to include a remarketing pixel on a partner website? Example - I own and run 123boats.com, my acquaintance who owns abchotels.com has agreed to put my remarketing pixel on his website, and I plan to show remarketing ads to his website visitors advertising my services at 123boats.com. Is anyone aware of any documentation that explicitly allows or disallows this type of "partner" remarketing tracking?

Should I subscribe my site to bellnet.de?
I am unsure whether I should put a link on bellnet.de. As the web directory is rather a common one and not specialized on web design (as my site is)... On the other hand it has a higher PA and DA then my site. And its spam score is very low. What do you think. Will google reward it and is it worth lazing 50 bucks? Cheers Marc

Optimising 2 ecommerce sites
Hi there I have been optimising an e-commerce site snowsupermarket.co.uk and it's range of products available to B2C customers. I have now been asked to do the same for the B2B site shop.snowbusiness.com which sells the same products but also, many more. My question is, Should i use completely different meta information or choose keywords that are my second choice? Both sites are also on the same IP - would this be a problem with potential duplicate content? Many thanks in advance, Ben
