Google analytics Goals and Funnels??
-
Hey - how's things?
I've got 2 goals setup, each of which use the same thank you page but with different required funnels. The results have been identical for the last few weeks - which tells me I've got something wrong!!
The first goal has a contact form on every page in the /products/ directory set up like this:
destination equal to: /thanks-enquiry/funnel step1 page: ^/products/.* required: yesThe first goal has a form on 1 page called /on-sale set up like this:
destination equal to: /thanks-enquiry/
funnel step1 page: /on-sale required: yesAny ideas?

Hi Tye,
This is a common problem with GA. Goals in GA simply work by saying how many people reached this page. The pages in between that you specified only work for the funnel visualisation report; they have no impact on the goal conversion rate.
I would recommend creating new funnels in Padditrack, which is a free tool that should do what you need it to.
I hope this helps.

Any ideas here.... In analytics I just drilled down to the actual /thanks-enquiry/ page and it seems that most referrals are coming from second goal /on-sale/ - so I must have this configured incorrectly - but it looks ok (I hope)
-
Sorry - /on-sale/ is the correct url for the second step - I left off the trailing slash to (try) and show it was a page.
so in full: www.domain.com/on-sale/
In the first step, the urls are:
www.domain.com/products/1/
www.domain.com/products/2/
www.domain.com/products/3/ -
Hi,
In the second step, can you tell me what the complete URL is there? If /on-sale is also in the URLs for the first step: ^/products/.* that could clarify why the URLs are the same.

Can Segment capture organic traffic? If so is it more reliable than Google Analytics?
Hi mozzers, We just learned that our standard GA hasn't been as reliable as we hoped so and we are trying to find other ways to track organic sessions. Which solution would you consider? Is Segment one of them? If so, is it more reliable than Google Analytics? Thanks

Google Analytics Numbers Are Weird

Impressions in Google Analytics
I am trying to compare SERP impressions in Google Analtyics between two different time periods. I want to compare the last two months, with the previous two months. Now this works fine when I go to Traffic Sources > SEO > Queries. Our analytics has been set up since early last year, so I cannot understand why, for a couple of weeks at the start of the previous two months, it is showing that I have less than 10 impressions per day, then in one day, it jumps to 22,000 impressions, and starts to show 'real' information after that... Very frustrating when I am trying to show how effective my work has been. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Tracking Required Form Fields in Google Analytics
I tried searching for this elsewhere but am having a hard time finding a good answer. Is it possible to track the effect of required form fields on conversions in Google Analytics? In other words, how do I track whether or not more/less people fill out a form if I make "Last Name" a required field? Thanks 🙂
