Tracking Sales to Sources
-
We're trying to set up a commission system for the different people who contribute to our site.
We just want to see a list of transactions and the path back to source for all of them. We haven't been able to figure it out and know other ecommerce sites have had to have figured this out.We have GA Ecommerce tracking on. How can we find last months sales:
source / medium / keyword / landing page / revenue / etc
Sorry if this is an obvious question. We have spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.

We are still searching for a solution to this. We have worked on it though and this is what we've come up with. Please understand we're just driving to the finish line anyway we can with hopes someone has found a better way to do it.
I attached 2 videos of what we are looking for and sort of explaining where we are at.
Thanks In advance.

You're very welcome.
Re: More detailed information: Custom reporting in Google Analytics should allow you to do all of them. You should be able to drag all the appropriate metrics and dimensions you need!
So instead of "Standard Reporting", go to "Custom Reporting" along the top.

Thank you Josh,
IT's very close to what I'm looking for, that is the closest solution we have come up with as well.
Here is where that method is falling short for us.
We want to be able to see more than they are showing us. All the dimensions we want to see are in the list, but we can only select 2 at a time.
Can we see more than just Source/medium plus a secondary. Is it possible to see
"source / medium / keyword / landing page / revenue / etc" in 1 report somehow?

Hi Christopher,
I think... If you go into the new analytics and select your site. Go to Traffic Sources in blue down the left, and then to Sources below that. Select All Traffic (or if you want a specific one, select that instead).
Now in the main part of this page, below the orange bar, then the grey bar and then the "All Traffic". You will have "Explorer" and below that "E-commerce". Select "E-commerce".
This will add a number of elements to the table below, which you can then add a "Secondary dimension" of landing page (or whatever else). You can burrow down into that information to find everything you're looking for I think. Then just change the dates to the window that you need.
Let me know if that's not quite the information you are looking for!

Experiences Tracking Phone Call Conversions?
Tracking conversions via phone call can be challenging. The Adwords phone ads only register a conversion if someone clicks on the phone number from their mobile phone. In many cases a landing page on a website has a lead/contact form AND a phone number displayed. The user calling that number would not be registered as a conversion unless you setup multiple virtual forwarding phone numbers for prominent keywords, ad groups and/or campaigns. This can be costly for smaller advertisers. Has anyone done or know of any empirical data on the average percentage of leads generated via phone call versus online form on a landing page. I know it can vary from business type to business type (and the form layout itself will have a modest effect.) More specifically I'm interested in the professional business services industry such as Engineering, Surveying, Commercial Real Estate, Accounting, etc. So for example if you conversion rate for online form submission on a landing page is 3%, and your phone number is prominently displayed, what would be a realistic ballpark estimate for the actual conversion rate including phone calls? 25% more? 50% more? Double? "Ballpark" is the keyword here. Just seeing if anyone has measured this and what their results were.

Tracking Facebook Mobile Visits to Desktop Conversions?

Then I go home from work, open my laptopn and go on XXX website and send an email enquiry form in. Is this possible to track? Thanks

Has anyone ever used Adwords' Forwarding Numbers as a Call Tracking Service?
Hi, I was taking over a client's Adwords account from a previous agency. It appears the former agency added the Google Forwarding Number (for call tracking on call extensions) and added it to the client's website. Therefore, if anyone calls that number from the website, it would register within Adwords (just not as a conversion but as a click under "call extensions") The problem: you can't filter by phone number (the same number calling +1 would indicate spam) you can filter by device (so tablet / computer) can be considered spam generally. Questions: Anyone ever used this before? Your thoughts? Does anyone know if there is spam coming from mobile devices now-a-days? Please tell me what I'm missing. Any advice / anyone else seen this / done this? Thanks Moz Community, Cole

Tracking homepage visits
Hi Mozzers, I run a website that has some buttons on the homepage. These URL's are not unique as they are accessible from the nav bar at the top of the page. I want to see the conversion rate of the homepage buttons. Is this possible? I currently use Crazy Egg to see how many people are clicking on the buttons but I want more information as I'm sure whether they are converting. Thanks, Karl

New client in the pensions market and they want to launch a new product. There are They have asked for a site build but my question is Is there a benefit to writing unique copy for this one product on each micro site/sales page and focus on a particular keyword, with an email capture for lead generation and also a link back to the main site. Buy domains with targeted keywords in them : www.workplacepensions.co.uk www.auto-opt-in-pensions.co.uk etc? Thoughts please as it will change my proposal 😉

Analytics : Goal tracking for multiple payment methods
ello! I don't know if anyone else has come across this problem, but our ecommerce site offers two payment methods during checkout. I've set up goals and they successfully record the total number of transactions. Our site offers two payment methods (credit card and purchase order) and once you hit the 'select your payment' page, you're directed to different pages to make payment and end up on the thank you page. I created two goals, a credit card one that has "funnel" turned on and lists every page a 'credit card' customer would undertake, and a 'purchase order' goal listing all the pages a customer who undertake when making a "purchase order" payment. Google is however recording figures for both. Say I had 10 credit card orders and 5 purchase order, my Goals report 15 for both. Anyone come across this?

Setting Up Ecommerce Tracking for Google Analytics?
Hello SEOmoz members, this is my first forum post, so i hope that it goes well. my question for today is, How can i set up set up Ecommerce Tracking for Google Analytics, if my website Does NOT use a Shopping Cart tool? I am currently SEO'ing a couple of Translation Service websites, and the Ordering System is a little different from the regular Shopping Cart tool that you would normally find on a Product website. so far i have added the analytics code to all the pages so i can track my SEO efforts, but is there no way to track the sales from each visitor if the website only provides Quotes? the website has a Quote form setup into 3 steps, and at the end of step 3, a general price is generated for the visitor and a CSR is supposed to contact them to completete the order. we can normally see the total orders and clients in our own system, but does anyone have any way to combine SEO with this information, like how google analytics Ecommerce can? if anyone could provide any helpful information, i would be very Greatful. thank you!
