False Positive Offline Conversion Post

[chi...@wpromote.com]

Anyone having an issue with false positives when submitting an offline conversion? I noticed that not all of my conversions are showing up in Adwords but I get a successful response (no errors). I check the soap log and there's no evidence of failure.

Hello,

Please note conversion uploads are atomic. So if you submit 3 conversions and one results in the error, none of them are uploaded, though you don't get errors for two of them.

Thanks Danial, 

So, would there be any issue if I removed the offending results from the array and resubmitted those that were successful? Or would it make sense to submit individual posts for each offline conversion?

There is a considerable delay in the AdWords interface "Tools > Conversions" view. And We've noticed discrepancy between that Conversion View and the "Traffic Funnel" View. The numbers do not match. 

1.) What is the generally accepted delay from post for the conversion to appear in the AdWords interface?

2.) What is the generally accepted delay from post for the conversion to appear when we Call KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT or CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT Requests?

3.) Would you suggest using the API to view results or the AdWords Web Interface?

Hello,

Yes, just remove erroneous items and re-send the rest. It is also ok to resend already accepted conversion.

As per guide:

  https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/importing-conversions

"It takes up to 3 hours for imported conversions statistics to show up in your AdWords account."

API and UI should reflect the same data.
