Conversion value data

If you track the value of your conversions, either manually or automatically,

there are a number of columns to help you analyze the conversion value of

your campaigns.
The following key conversion columns from the Report Center are available in

the Campaigns tab:

• Total Conversion Value

• Value/Conversion

• Conversion Value/Cost

Additional conversion value statistics, such as “Conversion Value/Click,” are

not available.

Invalid click data

Invalid click columns let you see the number and percentage of clicks that have

been classified as invalid and therefore automatically filtered from your account.

Remember: you aren’t charged for these clicks, and they don’t affect your other

account statistics, such as cost or click-through rate (CTR).
In the Report Center, invalid clicks columns are available for campaign and

account reports.
In the Campaigns tab, you can include these columns in the data table on the

“Campaigns” sub-tab.

Interaction data

Interaction columns in the Report Center show you how users interacted with your

display ads before clicking them.

Before

After

These columns, such as mouseovers, interactions, and video playbacks, are not yet

available in the Campaigns tab.
However, with richer advertising options now available through ad extensions, a

number of new interactions are now possible with AdWords ads. Statistics for each

of these extensions is available through the optional “Ad extensions” tab in your

account. You can also see some interaction data by applying segments to your data

table (for example, URL clicks versus calls for phone extensions).

Local Business Ad interaction columns

Local Business Ad interaction statistics show how your customers are interacting

with these ads. For example, you can see how many users opened your information

window from a map marker, clicked to get directions to your business, or used

Street View to see your business.
