Can I creat a goal on G.A. ?
I found this video: https://getsatisfaction.com/mindbody/topics/chalk_talk_how_to_setup_google_analytics
Is this the right way to do this?
About goals, a simple goal I would like to create is, one purchase. Can I acheive that?
Not shure about Goals. When I test and purchase, URL is always the same

The way you have it set up, youll only see referrer traffic from your old site. So you can see how many people came from your site, and ended up converting. Youll never know precisely what source those visits originated from using this method.
Technically in Analytics you can track cross domain, but if you aren't an expert you would probably need to hire one. Basically you tell Google to track both domains, and site A needs to be able to transfer cookie data to site B. You would then set up a custom filter that shows URI so that you know what domain is what when looking at landing pages in Analytics. Its probably better explained in Analytics devguides here.
Gets tough to trouble shoot cross domain tracking. But when it works its great for 3rd party carts etc. Good luck!

Hi Jared,
Thank you for the tips.
Is there a way to track ''Traffic Source''? On my site I have it, but in mindbody, I only see our site Referral.
Thank you,

Yes this is exactly how you do it:
https://getsatisfaction.com/mindbody/topics/chalk_talk_how_to_setup_google_analytics
Basically all you are doing here is creating an analytics profile, and then entering your user account ID from analytics into the Mind & Body back-end (and Mind body does the rest.
Once that is setup properly and working, you can go to analytics, open the profile you created and then choose 'Ecommerce' to see your sales stats.
You should also create another profile, on the same analytics account, for the WP site. Then you can see how many visits you have there, or how many visits to the plan and pricing page, and can compare it (though not in the same window because they are two different profiles) to the sales data you see in your Mind Body profile.
You can't create a goal to see, for instance, how many people landed on page x, clicked button x, and then converted into a sale, because the site is spread across two domains, but you can still track sales. The Ecommerce section in Analytics will also show you conversion rate, abandonment etc once your visitors are referred to your Mind Body page.

I don't think you'll be able to track your sales on GA because you need to have a landing page set as your goal/conversion page.
On my old sites where I had to forward to a 3rd party page, I would set up my goal page as the last page on my site. Obviously that wasn't the best indicator due to cart abandonment, but it gave me an idea of how many people were actually making it to at least that page.

Domain change from .co.uk to .com - do you add .com to the referral exclusion in GA?
Hi Mozzers, Just wanted to double check that when a website domain changes from .co.uk to .com - do you add .com to the referral exclusion in GA? Do you also keep the .co.uk version in the list too? I have updated the property settings to .com Thanks Anthony

Should I use sessions or unique visitors to work out my ecommerce conversion rate?
Hi all First question here but I've been lingering in the shadows for a while. As part of my companies digital marketing plan for the next financial year we are looking at benchmarking against certain KPIs. At the moment I simply report our conversion rate as Google Analytics displays it. I was incorrectly under the impression that it was reported as unique visits / total orders but I've now realised it's sessions / total orders. At my company we have quite a few repeat purchasers. So, is it best that we stick to the sessions / total orders conversion rate? My understanding is multiple sessions from the same visitor would all count towards this conversion rate and because we have repeat purchasers these wouldn't be captured under the unique visits / total orders method? It's almost as if every session we would have to consider that we have an opportunity to convert. The flip side of this is that on some of our higher margin products customers may visit multiple times before making a purchase. I should probably add that I'll be benchmarking data based on averages from the 1st April - 31st of March which is a financial year in the UK. The other KPI we will be benchmarking against is visitors. Should we change this to sessions if we will be benchmarking conversion rate using the sessions formula? This could help with continuity and could also help to reveal whether our planned content marketing efforts are engaging users. I hope this makes sense and thanks for reading and offering advice in advance. Joe

How do I add subdomain tracking to an existing Google analytics account that was set up to track website only (without the subdomain option)
I know you can track subdomains by just selecting the proper code when you set up the analytics and then create filters for the data in analytics. But how do you add a subdomain for existing analytics website. Is there a way to go back and change to the option to include subdomains and then I assume just replace the tracking code with the new code that Google delivers for this?

Why am i getting a flux of increase in Impressions on my site & then it decreases
They guys. Hope everyone is having a great week. I wanted to get some inputs from you guys in regards to what is happening to my site that i quite don't understand. Every month or so i get this influx of high visibility with impressions for my keywords and then the impressions go away but my rankings still keep going up. Has anyone experienced this before and can give me some insight on what is going . Why do i get such a big jump and then it dies off only to return again a month later or 2 months later. I know you guys want probably some info from my site or from analytics or webmaster tools so i will provide as much as i can . For now i have included a screen shot.
