Google Analytics and WorldPay - Tracking Sales/Conversions
-
Hi there,
I recently remember reading somewhere that tracking code could be used to monitor sales/conversions of eCommerce payments that went through WorldPay.
I've been looking around the web for news stories, forums, discussions, but all seem to be from 2007 - 2011; was just wondering if anyone knew any up-to-date info they could point me towards?
Thanks

The "idea" is still valid. You need a "Thank You" page that actually sends the transaction details to Analytics. Users must be redirected to that page after completing the payment, and I guess the return URL is just a variable you set while sending the order details to Worldpay (look into their docs for that: return url).
Then, in the "thank you" page you trace the order and create the analytics ecommerce call (with any programing language) depending on the version of Analytics you are using, it could be the ga (ga('require','ecommerce','ecommerce.js'); and then the rest of the transaction details) or the older _TrackTrans() (after the rest of the transaction details).
Hope that helps!

Looking at google shopping results from other country
Hi, I run shops in several languages out of London. One of our key revenue drivers is google shopping. It is important for me to look the the shopping search results for example in germany. Recently Google changed something so when I want to look at the german shopping results from here, eg. http://www.google.de/shopping it always shows me the english ones with prices in pounds. Is there a trick to still get the foreign results? Thanks in advance Dieter

Is there a way to track visitors that watched my video on YouTube and became a direct visitor to my website after the fact?
I am trying to understand the impact my commercials are having on website beyond just the clicks I get from YouTube as a referring site. Google is telling me there is not a way to track users that have viewed a video. I am trying to think outside of the box to figure out a way to use the remarketing cookie to my advantage. Google says there is not a way to track a user that watched a video and then eventually came to my site. But at the same time the "Earned Views" metric is similar to what I am trying to accomplish. As per Google, "An earned view occurs when someone who views your video ad and then watches another video or videos in a linked YouTube channel within 7 days of the ad view." So I want to be able to apply this same method to people that view my video ad and then surface on my website eventually. Please let me know your thoughts on this and if there is a way to accomplish this goal. Thank you

Best way to automize generation of google ads - API, scripts etc.
I am in the process of setting up a fresh adwords account for a recently launched ecommerce site with about 3000 products and would like to automize the generation of the ads based on a spreadsheet of our product database. I would like to have full control over the code to generate these ads and a programmer with knowledge in SOAP and javscript would be availlable to assist in implementation. Any recommendations? Would you use adwords API or rather adword scripts?

How to improve data analysis that come from the Analytics ?
Hello guys,
Paid Search Marketing | | WayneRooney
im manager the PPC campaign to the company that im working.
Its a t shirt printing company.
I know how PPC and how its work but im not an expert. So far the campaign is working and we getting clicks and and leads. But, i cant understand perfectly how to look at the information and decide whether the campaign works well. For example : What is considered a good conversion ratio?
What is considered a good conversion cost?
How do I get a final summary of how much i spent and how much was the income ? I add tracking code to the 2 main pages,
The page when they leave their information - The quote,
and the thank you - The payment page. The problem is, that we don't sale t shirts online, we are printing house so we cant know by the number of the peoples that
land the thank you page the value of the deal, its can be 10 shirts or 1000 shirts. Is there's a way to track all the information's but more accurately?
To know each lead that come to our system from where he came from ? Thank you very much for your help !!0 -
Adwords & Analytics Different Product Listing Results
Hi We have recently set up a Product Listings ad campaign via AdWords and have seen some impressive initial figures in our AdWords account. However, when viewing data from the same period in Analytics it shows completely different statistics. For example, from 1st-16th June, AdWords shows 604 clicks and 29 conversions from our Product Listings campaign but Google Analytics only shows 23 clicks and 0 conversions across the same period. Any ideas why these variations show? Is there any additional tracking code that needs to be inserted at all? Thanks
