One more point to add here:
If you are looking at "Total Conversion Value" instead of specifically "Transaction Value", you could have other goals set up with some value tied to them.
For instance, you could have a lead page goal setup with a value of 1. Whenever an AdWords users hits that lead page, the Total Conversion Value is going to go up by 1. '
You can review all your conversions you are tracking in your account in the Tools tab under Conversions.

Alick has some good points, but I would also point out that depending on where you are accessing data in Analytics you might be picking up information for your Bing PPC account as well, assuming you have a Bing PPC account.
Do you have conversion tracking set up in AdWords? Are you tracking calls and clicks as conversions or are you only tracking revenue?

Hi Dev,
You are not going wrong any where. AdWords & analytics track data differently .Please read below two points your doubt will clear. I hope it helps you.
- Different attribution models: AdWords will give attribution to AdWords click during the set conversion window irrespective of other sources which may be involved during conversion. Analytics by default will attribute goal completion to last non direct source. For example User clicks on your ad on 1<sup>st</sup> January >> visits website and exits >> he visits website again via referral link on 5<sup>th</sup> of January and converts. AdWords will attribute conversion to AdWords click and Analytics will attribute goal completion to referral.
- Different Attribution for conversion date: AdWords attributes the conversion to click date while Analytics attributes goal completion to actual conversion date. For example User clicks on your ad on 1<sup>st</sup> January >> visits website and exits >> he visits website again via referral link on 5<sup>th</sup> of January and converts. AdWords will show conversion for 1<sup>st</sup> January and Analytics will show Conversion for 5<sup>th</sup> January

How is Google Analytics defining page depth?
We run two websites and as part of our KPIs we are treating those who visit 3 or more pages of our website as a client served. As a digital team we are not convinced that this is the best metric to use as the improvements we are making to the sites mean that people are able to find the information quicker. Additionally other organisations including forums etc link to us so those users will get the info they need in one click. What I would like to know is how Google calculates page depth in GA. Are they treating the landing page as ground zero and then when users clicks a link they go one page deep? Or is the landing page, page depth 1 . Is page depth a measure of how many clicks a user needs to find their information?

Conflicting data in Google Analytics
Hi Guys I've been looking at the data for a client in Google analytics and I was wondering if anyone knows why some of the data doesn't tally up. In my case its the following: Under Aquisition

No of Sessions for a Keyword shown in Organic Search tab (compared to)
No of Clicks for a Query in the Search Engine Optimisation tab For example, for a brand term, Google are showing 17 Sessions in Organic Search.
For the same term Google are showing 90 Clicks in the Queries section of Search Engine Optimisation OK, we know that Google are a little cloak and dagger regarding keyword data but surely Sessions and Clicks for the same keyword should be identical unless I'm missing something.0 -
How long does Google Analytics credit a source?
I was under the impression that GA credits the source with a conversion if it is the source for the current session but it seems that if the user returns later that the source may still be credited. Is this the case? How long does GA credit a source?

Weird Google Analytics tracking question
I have a client that has a market place site, where people list goods and sell them, think something like Etsy. Instead of developing a system to show the users page views and things like that, does it sound reasonable to let them enter a Google Analytics property on the pages they list on, then let them monitor through GA? Does anyone see any fatal flaws in this thinking?

How to filter many cities from Google analytics
I need to filter hundreds of cities from my traffic reports. I've been told that adding them all in this format: |Knutsford|Ripon|Cheadle Hulme|Congleton| and using the 'matching reg/exp from the drop down should do it... Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working as I can still see cities like London in the results.... Any ideas?

Google Analytics Title tag vs landing page visitors numbers
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why im getting different results in Google analytics. I'm using the Content Efficiency Analysis Report from http://www.kaushik.net which is absolutely awesome.
