I accept both PayPal as well as Google Checkout on my site.

Does anyone know how I can implement conversion tracking from my AdWords campaigns to my PayPal and Google Checkout services?

I've searched, but was unable to find an answer.

Thanks everyone!

Do you have a common checkout "thank you" page that you can use to track all of them?

Unfortunately not... the thankyou page is on Google/Paypal :(

I have the same problem/question - What can we do for conversion tracking if we don't have a "thank you page"? Any alternatives?

Here's an unresearched, wild stab. You do have the ability to place your logo/header on your PayPal page. If other HTML cannot be added, perhaps you could code the ".jpg" request to trigger a PHP script that runs the AdWords conversion code (maybe not checkout value, but just that there was a sale) and then returns the logo as image/jpg. This will involve some conditional programming for Apache. Also, Google "return jpg in php" for code examples.
