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.

Google Tag Manager chrome plugin to diagnose Analytics issues
Hi I've just used Google Tag Manager chrome plugin to look at possible analytics issues on a clients site and it has reported that its Analytics ID is being tracked twice. 1 is Universal and the other is Universal Asynchronous And when i click the question mark next to the 'Where to Optimise' info in GTM this page is displayed with teh following info highlighted: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/asyncMigrationExamples ga.js is a legacy library. If you are starting a new implementation we recommend you use the latest version of this library, analytics.js. For exisiting implementations, learn how to migrate from ga.js to analytics.js. Since both versions seem to be on there surely i dont need to migrate but just delete the old non-asynchronous version ? Or do i need do anything else or additional ? All Best Dan

Google Analytics Automated Reporting
HI all, I tend to do a big reporting powerpoint deck using screenshots from google analytics and tables I create year end and mid year. It's like an 80 page report for the 10 webisite swe have and then I go ahead and make annotations as I see from the data. That being said this can take a lot of time, up to a 40 hours of time to pull it all together or more which is challenging when you have daily meetings. Anyhow, I've looked into automating and tried a couple things: 1. Tableau- but it keeps crashing and seems tedious 2. Dashlane and supergrabber- seem a bit tedious to set up too. Anyone have ideas on how to better shar ereporting in the organization in this type of format for a website (websites)? Organic, paid, traffic, etc. Laura

Goal Tracking In Analytics On Separate Ordering Website
I have a question for any Google Analytics wizards out there. We have two clients that have a similar complication when it comes to tracking goal conversions in Analytics. Basically, all the conversion actions we want to track occur on a separate website; either an iframe embedded on the page or through an entirely different ordering website. Trick is, Analytics sees the source for all these conversions as referrals from the main site. We'd like to get visibility back to the original source/medium that brought visitors to the site before they converted. Anyone have a suggestion for making that happen?

Does Google encryption of keyword data impact SEO revenue reporting in Google analytics?
Hi there, I know Google has been encrypting SEO keyword data which they rolled out in September 2013. My question is - will this impact SEO revenue figures reported in Google analytics? I have been monitoring SEO revenue figures for a client and they are significantly down even though rankings have not lowered. Is this because of Google's encryption? Could there be another reason? Many thanks!
