Hi Joel, No, the normal calls must appear above the other calls as they setup the variables that the later calls (number of products bought etc).

Many of the steps of the purchase path are handled by the same URL so I will need to follow these instructions to make the magic happen: http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=27288 I'm a bit confused where is says this though: <snip> Important: if your pages include a call to urchinTracker(), utmLinker(), utmSetTrans() or utmLinkPost(), your Analytics tracking code must be placed in your HTML code above any of these calls. In these cases the tracking code can be placed anywhere between the opening <body> tag and the JavaScript call. </snip> Does this mean that I have my normal Google Analytics code at the bottom of the webpage (which calls urchinTracker()) but I have an additional urchinTracker call elsewhere on the page? Just seems a bit funny to me to have two calls? Joel -- underscore_ list info/archive -> http://www.under-score.org.uk
