Select a conversion window – how long after an ad click and ad impression you want to track conversions) and a view-through conversion window – how long after an image or rich media Display Network ad impression you want to track conversions).

  12. Select one of 2 options under “install your tag.”
    • Save instructions and tag: Install the conversion tracking code on your website yourself
    • Email instructions and tag: Select this option if someone else will be adding the code to the website.
  13. For conversion tracking use a separate page for the confirmation page in your Landing Page form completion settings. If you are using an ActiveDEMAND Landing Page for the confirmation page,
