The key is "clicks on an AdWords ad". If you are not running a Paid Search campaign, then Google Conversion tracking will not "work for you". In that case, you will want to make sure you setup Goal Tracking and e-commerce within Google Analytics in order to track conversions.

I am just completing a video tutorial on how to setup Goals tracking, Conversion tracking, Sales Funnels etc... I should have it up at my site in the coming week.

It may help you make sure you have everything in place.

wow, that sounds fantastic... i'd love to see it...

We ARE using google adwords for advertising, fyi...

I set up a goal, with the following steps:

1. http://www.designertoybox.com/index.php?main_page=index (Index Page)
2. http://www.designertoybox.com/index....=shopping_cart (added item to shopping cart)
3. https://www.designertoybox.com/index...ckout_shipping (checkout shipping)
4. https://www.designertoybox.com/index...eckout_payment (Checkout Shipping)
5. https://www.designertoybox.com/index...t_confirmation (checkout confirmation)

i didn't set up the 'ecommerce' as it needs additional coding it appears, and that scares me.

either way, i thank you for taking the time to help me out econcepts...
