If it is a requirement in the Google TOS can someone point me to where it is.
Thanks
Does anyone know if there is any way out of having to display the Google Site Stats Text link on the receipt page when using conversion tracking?
No way out bert. ;)
If I recall correctly, you'll see information about this requirement during the setup process for Conversion Tracking, which links to the following page in the AdWords Help Center:
Where do I put the tracking text block on my page?To keep the text block as unobtrusive as possible, we recommend placing it in the lower right-hand corner of the conversion page (the Thank you for your purchase/subscription/visit page).
However, the text block should still be available for your visitors to view. You should not hide, obscure, tamper with or distort the text block in anyway. Please note that you may only select the background color for your text via the conversion tracking setup page; you may not alter the color of your text. Finally, the text block should also be placed no further than a quarter of the screen away from the last line of content on the page.
To install the text block on your page, you'll need to place the JavaScript code snippet between the <body> tags of your web page HTML, closer to the </body> tag. You should not add the code to dynamically-generated header and footer code. Doing so will cause you to track every page sharing the same header or footer, leaving you with meaningless conversion statistics.
Please be sure to copy-and-paste the entire code snippet we provide. The conversion code you place within your site code should not interfere with any other code, including other tracking code.

Here's some information about why this is so:
Why use visible text for conversion tracking when everyone else uses an invisible image?
