INCOME EVERY MONTH

If you are a Google AdWords advertiser and rely on Google's conversion feature to help you figure out your campaign budgets, you'll be interested to learn more about some conversion tracking features they put into place last month. John over at PPC Hero has a nice write up on the features and how you can apply them.

John explains:
Conversions can now be segmented as one of the following types:

* Leads
* Purchase/Sale
* Sign-Up
* Pageview
* "Other"



Within each conversion type, you can create any number of actions. For example, let's say you are selling neck ties for Father's Day. This is a limited time offer and a very specific sale. So, you would click on "Create a New Action" and select "Purchase/Sale" to choose the right conversion tracking code. Input "Father's Day Neck Ties" as the action name for reporting. To complete the setup, you would then place the tracking code on your purchase thank you page. Once visitors to your site begin buying your Father's Day neck ties, these conversions will show up in AdWords appropriately labeled!

While I'd encourage any business to look toward investing in strong analytics software that can do this type of tracking without giving Google access to your exact conversion rates and online sales flow, this is still an option worth looking at if you're starting out with zero budget.
