When you set up conversion tracking in Google, does the "Google site stats" logo at the bottom of the page have to appear? Or is it against TOS.

Only if OK,
What is the easiest way to get the picture off.

Thank You!

Not sure if it has to or not but you could hide it using CSS. Stick it off the page using positioning or use
visibility: hidden;

Nope, it has to appear.

However, I believe that the latest incarnation of it only appears if the user is being tracked, so users who didn't come via Adwords they won't see it.

That is correct: If they weren't referred by Adwords, the 'Site Stats' banner will not show up.

At least be thankful it's not 'Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite Stats by Goooooooogle'!

What if they were referred by adwords, but someone elses ad?

An ad that didn't have conversion tracking.

Say they were referred from adwords, but not the account that had conversion tracking set up.

IntegraGsrBalla, your conversion tracking stats will only be updated if a user has gone to the site from your ad, then navigated to the conversion page.
