ConversionRuler is tracking landings, but not orders!

Symptoms

Some orders are recorded, just not when you test it yourself.

You have installed your order snippet on the order confirmation page, and it has been verified by our staff.

Solution

The reason you would see a landing, but no order is that the browser is not accepting cookies for our site. This is one possible reason for this. The landing page records the landing correctly, sets a cookie, but then every subsequent page, the cookie is set to something different.

On the order page, it determines that the user did not land via a sourced URL, and ignores the order as an unsourced clickthrough.

Assuming you're using Internet Explorer of some version. try the following:

• Click on the "Tools" menu and select "Internet Options..."
• A properties window will appear. Click on the "Privacy" tab in the properties window.
• You should see two sections "Settings" and "Web Sites" on this properties page
• Under "Settings", it should state "Medium" settings. If it doesn't, then click the "Default" button to reset your privacy settings to what most users have. This section should have a bold word stating "Medium" after you click the button
• Under the bottom section of the properties page the section called "Web Sites", click the "Edit" button
• You should see a second dialog box which has two sections: "Address of Web Site" and "Managed Web Sites".
• In the "Managed Web Sites" section, check to see if ConversionRuler.com is listed within this section. Remove it by selecting it and clicking the "Remove" button.
• Close this dialog box by clicking "OK"
• Close the "Internet Options" properties dialog box by clicking "OK"

Try your tests of ConversionRuler again.
