			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you using Wordpress for your blog?  Who isn&#8217;t <img src='http://phpkitchen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But a fairly simple sounding task like tracking conversions for Adwords campaigns actually requires a bit of work.  Here is the system I found works best, you can get it up and running in only a few minutes.</p>
<p>The goal is to be able to track when contact enquiries result from a paid campaign.  I&#8217;m using this systems at <a href="http://seagullsystems.com">http://seagullsystems.com</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>the contact form plugin you need is <a href="http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin/">cForms</a>, version 1.5 or later (scroll down past the pluses, big banner on left hand side)</li>
<li>install the plugin, you will probably need to create the file abspath.php manually</li>
<li>configure a basic contact form, for example name it &#8220;my_form&#8221;</li>
<li>insert the form in your relevant page by pasting the html comment &lt;!&#8211;cforms name=&#8221;my_form&#8221;&#8211;&gt;</li>
<li>in the cformII options panel select <strong>Form Settings</strong></li>
<li>make 2 settings:
<ul>
<li>disable the Ajax mode in the first section</li>
<li>in the <strong>Core Form Admin / Email Options</strong> section, tick <strong>Enable alternative success page (redirect)</strong> and enter a <em>Thanks</em> page URL you previously created inWordpress</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>in your <em>Thanks</em> page paste your conversion javascript code provided by Adwords</li>
</ul>
<p>And that&#8217;s it!  Any probs please mention in the comments.</p>
