Google analytics Goals and Funnels??

[agua]

Hey - how's things?

I've got 2 goals setup, each of which use the same thank you page but with different required funnels. The results have been identical for the last few weeks - which tells me I've got something wrong!!

The first goal has a contact form on every page in the /products/ directory set up like this:
destination equal to: /thanks-enquiry/funnel step1 page: ^/products/.*   required: yes

The first goal has a form on 1 page called /on-sale set up like this:
destination equal to: /thanks-enquiry/
funnel step1 page: /on-sale   required: yes

Any ideas?

Hi Tye,

This is a common problem with GA. Goals in GA simply work by saying how many people reached this page. The pages in between that you specified only work for the funnel visualisation report; they have no impact on the goal conversion rate.

I would recommend creating new funnels in Padditrack, which is a free tool that should do what you need it to.

I hope this helps.

Any ideas here....  In analytics I just drilled down to the actual /thanks-enquiry/ page and it seems that most referrals are coming from second goal /on-sale/ - so I must have this configured incorrectly - but it looks ok (I hope)

Sorry - /on-sale/ is the correct url for the second step - I left off the trailing slash to (try) and show it was a page.

so in full: www.domain.com/on-sale/

In the first step, the urls are:

www.domain.com/products/1/
www.domain.com/products/2/
www.domain.com/products/3/

Hi,

In the second step, can you tell me what the complete URL is there? If /on-sale is also in the URLs for the first step: ^/products/.* that could clarify why the URLs are the same.
