Google Analytics Goals are not recording
-
Hello!
I've set up Goals within Google Analytics and they aren't registering. I'm wondering if someone can review what I've set up to see if I've entered something wrong.
I'm trying to track enrollments. Here's the site info:
Enroll URL: http://www.careplusdentalplans.com/individuals/enroll-careplus/
Upon completion, the user goes to a Thank You page and our CMS generates a trailing URL parameter. For example:
http://www.careplusdentalplans.com/index.php/individuals/enroll-careplus-thank-you/#123456789
My Goal info in GA:
Goal URL: /individuals/enroll-careplus-thank-you/
Match Type: Head Match (to disregard trailing URL parameter)
Goal Funnel: Step 1: /individuals/enroll-careplus/I'm curious if the problem lies in either:
The URL: Notice how the URL adds /index.php/ on the thank you page. In that case, should I enter the full URL in the Goal instead of the truncated URL?
The Funnel: Is it necessary to show the initial Enroll page or if I'll see that in the Flow Visualization regardless?
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
Erik

No problem! Happy to help.

That worked. Thanks again, John!

Thanks for the quick reply, John. I'll give that a shot!

Head match means your goal URL has to match everything after your domain, not just the end of it. In other words, you should be using /index.php/individuals/enroll-careplus-thank-you/ as your goal URL.

Google Analytics - Next Page Path is the Same URL?
Hey Everyone, I have a Google analytics question. I'm looking through a client's site and when I look at the next page path, I get the same URL as the next path. For example, on the homepage, the next page path I get is the homepage again? This happens for all URL's, is this an implementation error? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Google Analytics Custom Reports eMails only one reporting tab
Goog Morning from 18 degrees C mostly cloudy Wetherby UIK 🙂 I'm on a mission to get away from manual reporting and move over to eMailing custom Google analytics reports. Thanks to this tutorail http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2175001/7-Time-Saving-Google-Analytics-Custom-Reports Ive made good progress but ive hit a snag. The snag being when i email the report the recipient only recieves one 1 report tab of data. This causes a problem when you eMail a report that has multiple reporting tabs like this: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/tab-export-custom-problemcopy.jpg So my question is please..."When you eMail a recipient a custom report how can you ensure they receive "All" the reporting tabs data and not just one"? Any insights welcome 🙂

Can you filter referring keywords in Google Analytics by language?
Hi All! So yes, I know that you can see/filter the language that the computer or browser was set to (en-us, ru, fr, etc.), but if you look at the keywords used by visitors falling under "fr", some are in English. Is there any way to get, say, just the keywords in Russian - regardless of what the visitor's browser language was set to? Thanks! Aviva
