Adwords - Conversion on your side...

I'm wondering if there is a way to tell if a Google adwords conversion has happened using PHP/Javascript on my side of things and not on the Google side of things. Want to find out specifically which people/contacts come through from Google. Does anybody know if this is possible? I thought that if I could find the right JS variable I could right a value using JS to a hidden field that then would be analysed by PHP. I've tried searching around on this subject and there is plenty to buy, but I haven't found any helpful code.

Thanks

use a url var from google you could.

perhaps use http_referer in some capacity you could. Know we do that is not entirely reliable.

use a url var from google I do.

just append a url var to your url you can:

ie:
http://www.mysite.com/

becomes

http://www.mysite.com?source=google

has another advanced "conversion" tracking system which uses cookies google does.

found this fun little flash tutorial for you I did :D
