Cookies/Tracking/Code developement
-
So.
I have an online application form, on the website. It's maked with php, html and css.
What i like to place on the email, is a cookie tracking system.
For example, when someone search on the google for " web design ", and then see my result on google organic, comes the visitor to my site, charge the fields of application forms and click send.
Than, me like an admin, i receive an email with informations of a customer, i see name/surname/etc.. but i like to integrate is for example, like to see a:
-
IP from Visitors, who charged the fields
-
Referrerr, if google, like to see which query he typed.
How can i do this please?
-
-
Is this for free?
-
I can't help with the technical information, but I do want to mention to be sure that everything is disclosed in a privacy statement, and that you're not doing anything to violate Google Analytics' terms of service about personally identifiable information (if you're using GA).

Hi there,
I had the same issue and couldn't find any simple solutions so I went ahead and created a free tool that does exactly what you are looking to do. It captures information submitted through a lead form along with where they came from and if they came from a search engine, it automatically tracks the exact keyword phrase they searched for. Then all of the lead information is sent to you in an email as well as stored in a very basic database for you to manage them. It's still a work in progress but it accomplishes what I want it to do for the time being. Feel free to check it out at http://convertable.com and please let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.
Another option is to add a Unique ID number to the Thank You page URL. For example, add a hidden field to your application form named "uid" which is a random number like 399285. Then when the form is submitted, redirect to a Thank You page such as www.yoursite.com/thankyou?uid=399285. Then you can look up that pageview in Google Analytics and reverse engineer it to see more data about who submitted the form and how they got to your site, such as referral information, keyword, etc.
Hope that helps!

Google Analytics / Facebook UTM
Hello, I have a quick question. I am setting up conversion tracking for my Facebook ads, so I am giving each ad set a tracking URL (UTM) in order to see which ads are converting etc. Is it possible to see on analytics how much I am spending on these ads or a cost per conversion? Or does the tracking merely track general analytics data such as bounce rate, exit rate, revenue generated etc? Kind Regards, James

Conversion Tracking Setup; Is there a decent guide?
Ok, I'm looking into how to set up conversion tracking for our website, and frankly, I'm totally confused. In looking at Google documentation, I'm not sure if I need to use Tag manager, throw some code into the site with jQuery, or sacrifice a goat. I'd like to implement a variety of tracking goals / events / things on several websites, so I'm really looking for a comprehensive guide. I couldn't find any in depth stuff on google. Help?
