This user returns on the next day, with a direct visit, to order another product from you.\u00a0 The &#8220;Converted Click&#8221; metric will count this as 1 conversion as it was one single click on the ad that resulted in the conversion. \u00a0The &#8220;Conversion&#8221; metric records two separate conversions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the most fundamental\u00a0level, that&#8217;s the difference between these two metrics. If you would like to read the differences in details, please read <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adwords\/answer\/6085379?hl=en\">this article from\u00a0Google AdWords help<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To generate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.karooya.com\">negative keywords recommendations<\/a>, we use &#8220;Converted Click&#8221; metric. We think, this is a conservative metric to suggest negative keywords.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On 25th July, Google <a href=\"https:\/\/adwords.googleblog.com\/2016\/07\/simplifying-conversion-measurement.html\">announced<\/a> that the conversion metric &#8220;Converted Click&#8221; is being removed from September. You may have already seen the notification from Google about the same.\u00a0Google recently updated its APIs and libraries to make the change effective. \u00a0In a few days, Google will stop sending this data with APIs and, the Google Ads UI &amp; Google Ads Editor will no longer show this column.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To be compliant with this new change, we are migrating negative keywords recommendations by Karooya from &#8220;Converted Clicks&#8221; to &#8220;Conversions.&#8221; We are in the process of updating our tool to this new metric. The new change\u00a0will be effective very soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Google has provided a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adwords\/answer\/6372468\">guide<\/a> on the migration to &#8220;Conversions&#8221; as your conversion metric.
