How to track conversions from a third party email campaign?
-
Heyy..
New to the Moz community, first question so here goes!
I'm going to be running an email campaign with an e-magazine and I want to know how to track conversions from the email they're sending out so I can monitor success/failure.
I've found Google's URL builder:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en
But this doesn't really explain what i'm trying to do.Can anyone of you in this fine community shed some light on this please?

No problem, glad I could help!
There are a few ways to view that info in GA, here is one method:
Go to your Acquisition > Campaigns > All Campaigns report
Then, make sure the correct 'conversions' goal is selected (should be a dropdown in the Conversions section)
Now, input the campaign name you created for the tracking URL into the filter input field. That field is right above the Conversions section of the report and has a small magnifying glass next to the input field (to the left of the 'advanced' link). That will allow you to only view the traffic coming from that campaign and its metrics.
You can also simply click the campaign name if you see it among the list of campaigns.

Thanks so much man, that really clears things up!
Just one more quick question.My goal which tracks my conversions is 'goal 5 payment made'
How would I segment the numbers to view which ones came from the email? -
Well, the Google URL builder is most likely what you are trying to do. If you set the correct parameters, you will be able to track the traffic that has come from that campaign. Then, you can see the goals that the traffic originating from those emails have completed, their behavior, and the outcomes.
A proper URL may look something like this...
- Update your domain to match your website
- the source should be the domain of the emagazine
- medium is email or newsletter
- content should be the name of the newsletter that your advertising in
- campaign should be a unique campaign name for your advertising strategy
I hope this helps! Once setup, you can track those conversions and goals that came from the traffic of the emagazine

Sudden drop in conversions!
Over the past week, I have noticed a drop in conversions. By drop, I mean NONE at all. The traffic to the site seems steady from different sources, so I don't think we've been hit with a penalty. I have looked through the site, and there are no problems with the functionality. Is it possible that you lose conversions because of the type of keywords that are driving traffic? In other words, the impressions and queries remain steady, but you are not getting traffic that converts (if that makes any sense). Thanks in advance for thoughts and advice.

How to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page?
hi, This is my first question in the forums and I'm looking forward to be part of a great SEO community. I was wondering ow to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page? I've been using Wordpress jetpack site stats for while, which shows great data like keywords used in google, landing page etc. But I would like to have access to the full path for each separate visitors (including their IP address and country is possible) to improve my website and conversions. Example: step 1: Visitor X types "seo" on Google step 2: visitor lands on my homepage step 3: visitor visits to order page and buys Is there such tool available as a Wordpress plugin? Or do I have to use Google analytics for this? thank you for your help, Marc
