Setting up Goal by Event.
-
Hi guys,
I've need to set gup goal to track Banner Views and Clicks on my website based on the Event. I've set up the Event like this:
| |
Anh the page is http://www.danhgiaxe.com/so-sanh/
When I se the event on goal I filled like below:
Category/Equal to/quangcaoBIG
Action/Regular expression/bannerID_\d
Label/Equal to/view
I do the same for tracking Click. But when verifying, the conversion is 0%. Anyone help me please!
Tks a lot!

Hi Quang, I was looking at the actual page and the event is firing, see the screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/LrWJzTmpt
I'm not sure what's going on but it's strange that you can't even get the event label to fire on it's own - that rules out anything wrong with the regex.
So when you go into the events report, are there events being logged?
-
Here is the screen shot. And I've tried firing the label view but it's still 0%

Hi Quang, can you share a screenshot of the segment you're trying to create, that way I can see the regex. Also as Sajeet said you'll need to use on click to track people clicking the banners not just viewing.
I'd start trying to debug by simplifying the report. What happens if you just try to see how many times the event label 'view' has been fired? Does that still show as 0%?

Event which the View tracking it doesn't work. I've tried changing the regex as above but the conversion's still been the same.

There are two issues with your tracking -
- The code is correct for tracking views to the banner, however its not correct if you want to track the clicks. For clicks, you will have to add onClick function.
- The regex is incorrect. The correct regex is bannerID(.*). Suggest you use regexpal.com to test your regular expressions.
Hope this helps.

Does Universal Analytics auto generate events?
Hi Mozzers, I have been noticing for one of my clients that there are thousands of events generating which I never added a code snippet for ga('send', 'event', 'button', 'click', 'nav buttons', 4);. The code I am seeing instead is following the syntax **PDF FILE NAME.**I don't even use Tag Manager. So are these auto generated? Label names of files aren't great though so I still believe that adding that piece of snippet _ga('send', 'event', 'button', 'click', 'nav buttons', 4);_can still bring some added value. Do you think it still does? Thanks!

Some questions on how to set up a multi-visit advanced segment in Google Analytics
Hi I would like some assistance / clarification on how to set up a user segment so that it can track user behavior over multiple visits. Basically I have a campaign set up and want to see conversions - even if they hit the site and then convert later on another visit. I've read that you can do this (over up to 30 days). So I start off by filtering TRAFFIC SOURCE - easy enough. But then I have to add under "advanced" correct? But then when I set the next filter to the GOAL I want, I only get "by session" and "by hit" as options. The blog post I read made it sound like only "by user" would then really do multi visits. Is "by user" only an e-commerce tracking option? (which I don't have set up) Is there another way/path to get the info I need? Thank you!

Tracking Goals on a Subdomain?

Thank-you page is sub.example.com/thank-you.php What needs to be modified in Analytics (or to the Analytics code) or how do the goals need to be set up to track these subdomain conversions all within the same Analytics profile? They're not tracking currently. Thanks.

Ga event tracking and GAC code placement
Just relaunched website and since then specific event tracking has zeroed. I copied event tracking directly from old site so it should work. Overall analytics are fine. Only variable I can think of is where google analytics code is placed. Does GAC code need to be on HTML header or at end of body specifically for event tracking to work? Example: Steripen.com/freedom/... When user clicks "REI" icon, this tracks an event that a user clicked on one of our"retailer links." Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Google Analytics Goal Funnel Visualization Issue
I've setup a goal funnel but am having an issue when I look at the funnel visualization. It doesn't appear to be recognizing the 1st step of the funnel that I've defined in the goal edit page. The "Property Listing page view" is located at /listings/xxx where xxx is the number of the property. Within the funnel, I've added /listings/*, but when I go to see the funnel visualization, I see 0 counts for this step (even though it clearly shows on the entrance page to the left "/listings/622, etc". I've attached a .pdf with a few images to help make this clearer. Any thoughts? CRD-Funnel.pdf
