Can I track user journeys from a particular source?
-
We want to track users from a particular campaign to see what they do when they get to the site.
The site generates revenue from clicks out so we want to be able to see whether visitors from a particular source click on multiple deals. i.e. enters from the source and then clicks on 3 different deals that take the user to other sites. Using GA, can I track this by implementing UTM on both the campaign links and outgoing links? Can I see exactly how many deals the average user is clicking on?
As far as I know I can: Track visitors from the campaign Track overall clicks on deals Divide click outs by visitors
But I can't track how many deals the visitors from campaign A clicked on... or can I?

Hi Ralph. You should be able to accomplish this with Event Tracking in GA. See: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html
From that page:
"In Event Tracking, each interaction with a tracked web page object is counted, and each interaction is associated with a given user session. In the reports, Total Events are calculated as the total number of interactions with a tracked web page object. On the other hand, where a single user session (or visit) has one or more events, this is calculated as a single Visit w/Event, or Unique Event in the reports.
For example, if one user clicks the same button on a video 5 times, the total number of events associated with the video is 5, and the number of unique events is 1."
Hope that helps.

Using Wordpress websites FYI. Thanks, Ricky

How to track PPC conversions?
I use both adwords and Microsoft Adcenter. I am looking to be able to track my conversions from each PPC site. I do not have a "Thank You" or "Check Out" page that I can tag because any sales that I make are through clicks on a link that goes offsite to an affiliate company that I receive commission from. However, the link on my site is a "Buy Now" button, so to get some idea of which source is giving me better conversions I'd like to know whether adcenter or adwords is sending more people that end up clicking this link. Canb anyone suggest a way or a program to set up in this manner? Thanks in advance for your help!

How can I Monetize My Site with The Type of Traffic it Receives?
I was just in here yesterday asking a question, so I appreciate everyone's patience with this newbie! This is a totally different site that I have a question about so here goes: I have a site that has started to receive large amounts of traffic from an image search. My intention was to use Amazon for products based on my website theme. I haven't been getting traffic from my intended keywords. Now I rank #2 for an image search, loads of traffic! GREAT! But what next? These ppl. aren't looking to buy stuff, they just want the image. Fine, it is a public domain image. I thought of adding some more informational articles and using adsense to bring in some cash. Any opinions on the best way to go with this site? I only have 3 articles up so it could go in any direction from here. Thanks!!!
