is conversion tracker accurate?

Hey all- I just added the conversion tracker and I wanted to know if this offers accurate stats. Does it only work if the client clicks through and make a purchase right away? Or does it also track if they visit and buy at a later date.

Also- should I shut off content matching? It generates a lot of clicks but I feel less in control of how targeted it is.

Thanks

Also.. I looked and looked but couldn't find a way to edit this signature- I went into userCP but cannont see that option.. HELP!!

This is a current limitation and why it is not entirely accurate. It is still a worthwhile tool but only your logs can tell you actual conversions. To do this ad a ? variable to the end of your referring urls in adwords. I make it real specific like ?uk1 which tells me that visitor clicked on my first campaign targeted to the UK.



I have all mine off because the conversions are horrible for my industry. I suspect most of the clicks are webmasters. However, you need to measure this for yourself and make a decision dependant on YOUR industry and YOUR site.



You gain the sig option after 90 days and 100 posts...Good Luck!

Thanks so much!!!
