I'm got some AdWords campaigns running that send traffic to my landing page which links to an offer at CPA Storm. They - like many other affiliate networks - use the DirectTrack affiliate platform.

I've been trying forever to get my AdWords conversion pixel in place on the conversion page of the offer at CPA Storm. It never fires and I've tried various formats.

This has been a major pain in the ass :mad:. Anyone else able to get AdWords conversion pixels placed on the conversion page of an affiliate network using DirectTrack?
 


I just posted about this and received a response from my AM that said adwords pixels are too large for me to upload and that I would need to send the code to them to be inserted.

I'm going to try using my own tracking instead. I'm guessing you can just use a simple PHP script. Probably already one created.
 
I use CPA Storm and Adwords Conversion Tracking. Ask your AM to set it up. They replace the Google graphic with their own pixel and it works just fine. No need to go through any hassles.

Do what they say - email them the tracking code and they will take care of the rest. Just make sure you use a different tracking code for each separate conversion amount ($$$) so you get accurate tracking.

Thanks AlexJames - reassuring. Could you post the code that you send your AM (remove whatever u need to)? I've tried the same and nothing worked.
 
Here it is for one of my offers that pays $1.40 per conversion:

<!-- Google Code for default Conversion Page -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var google_conversion_id = xxxxxxxxx;
var google_conversion_language = "en_US";
var google_conversion_format = "1";
var google_conversion_color = "666666";
if (1.4) {
var google_conversion_value = 1.4;
}
var google_conversion_label = "default";
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js">
</script>

Strange. I've tried the same thing and was told that the pixel code is too large for DirectTrack (too many characters). Even the <noscript> img pixel was "too large" (which doesn't make sense at all).

AlexJames, can you PM me your CPA Storm AM's name? Maybe I can put my AM and yours in touch so they can resolve the problem.

Thx again.
 
Just a quick follow up. My conversion tracking is working now. Only the <noscript> portion of the Google Adwords pixel is being used (due to pixel max character limitations with DirectTrack) but it still works the same (from what I can tell). I can now see my converting keywords and ROI from within my Adwords account (and Analytics since my accounts are linked by using auto-tagging).

Thanks for the help Alexjames.
