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";

304 "If Modified Header" Triggers Error in Google Ads?
We have a client who is launch some Google Ads campaigns, and they recently asked us to fix 304 "Errors" on their website as per this feedback: "When we inspected the website we came across a number of 304 status errors. In order to get the ads running, we will need all of the website domain status codes converted to 200. “ Of course, all of their website pages return a 200 Status, it's just the HTTP headers that additionally clarify with a 304 Response (not an error). Has anyone else ever run into this issue with Google Ads? IMHO it makes no sense to remove this functionality. Google has even recommended in the past to use this it: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2008/11/date-with-googlebot-part-ii-http-status.html Thanks for any tips or feedback!

Tracking Chat Conversions on WP?
We have a WordPress site where we use the plugin Chatra for our chats. It works great...except, that you cannot track conversions from Google Ads. There is another plugin called Apex that allows tracking, but their people answer the phone instead of ours. So does anyone know a way or a plugin where we can have chat enable on our website that our people are solely responsible for responding to that allows you to track conversions from Google Ads? Thanks, Ruben

Paid Search Visits Not Showing Up in Google Analytics
Hey all, Just took over SEM for my company, and noticed a bit of a problem with GA. Whereas Adwords has registered 141 clicks on paid campaigns that go to the site, GA has tracked only 5 vists in that time. Two things of note: The GA account was not linked to the Adwords account until today, and also, auto-tagging was not turned on. I understand these two things are important to having proper GA tracking, but I just want to make sure that there aren't any other things I should check right now to make sure I start to see tracked paid visits again. Is there anything else I should try? Cheers.
