Yahoo! Online Marketing provides tracking code to track of conversion rate on the ads. However, the codes they provide has to be inserted between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags. Can I insert the codes like the Google AdWords tracking codes just before the  on pc/OrderComplete.asp? If not, where should I insert the conversion codes?

Hi Yeeyeng,

For Yahoo! Search Marketing you will need to create a new header.asp, which includes that code in the HEAD section. Then you will need to edit orderComplete.asp so that it uses the different file. Since you don't want that code to be loaded with every ProductCart page, you will have to use two "header.asp" files.

Here are step by step instructions:

Download the files "header.asp" and "orderComplete.asp" from the "pc" folder
Make a back-up of the original files
Add the code to the HEAD section of header.asp, right before the </head> tag
Save the file with a new name: e.g. "header-tracking.asp". The only difference between the two files will be the tracking code for Yahoo!
Edit "orderComplete.asp" so that it uses "header-tracking.asp" and not "header.asp"
Remember to edit "orderComplete.asp" when you update to a new version, if that new version overwrites the file (which sometimes happens).
