		<description>Peace, 

Just leaving the money parameter empty is not enough. You have two options you can choose to populate the money parameter. First, you can hard code a value for the money parameter (i.e. &lt;code&gt;money=299.95&lt;/code&gt;). I am assuming, however, that this is not the option you want to use. The second option is to dynamically populate the value for the money parameter programmatically. At the bottom of this post under &quot;Update&quot;, I linked to a follow up post that explains how to dynamically add values to the conversion tracking URL. The example given in that post uses javascript to accomplish this task, but you can use another language if you choose. If you have already attempted to update the money parameter programmatically and are still having issues, I would contact our customer service team. They will be able to help debug any problems that may be occurring in the code you are using. You can reach customer support at (919) 595-2500. Hope this helps!</description>

		<description>We have done putting bronto tracking code but it doesn&#039;t track the revenue in the report. We assumed that when we will leave the parameters for money as empty, it will get the revenue dynamically. Could you explain to us how to correct it?</description>

		<description>Peace,

The installation method described in this post is the only way to install conversion tracking on your site. In regards to your first question, you will need to have one &lt;code&gt;img&lt;/code&gt; tag with a completed URL for each conversion you want to track. This &lt;code&gt;img&lt;/code&gt; tag is embedded on your site and is tied to a specific conversion, not necessarily a specific product. The goal of conversion tracking in Bronto is to track conversions resulting from email, and not individual conversion rates for each of your products. If you really wanted to, you could create unique conversion tracking URLs for each product you want to track (either by hand or programmatically), but this is very much a custom solution that would need to be created on your end. Hope this helps and let us know if you need any additional support!</description>

		<description>Just a follow up. Is there an easy way of installing the tracking code without applying extensive coding. By the way we are using Yahoo store, will there be an easy way to apply it in our site.</description>

		<description>Question: Regarding with the three parameters, Should I really input each description and price of each item that I need to track? But we always have many items featured in our email campaign, should we always define it in the parameters? Do we need to change  the url snippet every time we have another email campaign and another items featured?</description>

		<description>Jake,

Great question! We are able to determine that the source is from email by means of a cookie that is set in the browser when a contact makes a conversion via an email sent from our system.  This cookie contains identifying information that lets our report tracking system know that the conversion resulted from a specific email sent via our system and not some other source.  So for example, when one of your contacts clicks a link in an email that you sent to them via Bronto, a cookie is set in their browser identifying the source message and delivery time.  The conversion tracking URL will only pass conversion data back to Bronto for contacts who have this cookie in their browser at the time they complete a conversion.  Hence, when you take a look at your conversion metrics in Bronto, you are only seeing the conversions that directly resulted from messages sent via Bronto.  Hope this helps and feel free to ask more questions if you have any!</description>

		<description>I have a question, how does the conversion tracking code know that its coming from Bronto. We have the tracking code on our thank you page. So if the an order is tracked, how does bronto know that the source was from an email as opposed to another source?</description>
