Tracking Adwords users who sumbit a contact form after clicking through my Landing page.
-
I have a user, Jane, who comes to my landing page through an AdWords campaign. She click off my landing page, browses the website, then submits a contact form on one of the other pages on the site.
My problem is when I receive the email from the contact form, there is no identification that this user came through adwords. If she had submitted the contact form on my landing page this wouldn't be a problem, but she submitted the form from elsewhere on the site.
I know that I can see a NUMBER of how many goal conversions were achieved this way in Analytics. This is not what I want. I need something to identify it on the CONTACT FORM so that the intake staff in my office can credit that lead to the correct campaign.
Any idea on how to achieve this. Technically, I am using the latest version of Wordpress and the Contact Form 7 plug-in. I can change plug-ins if needed.

Hi McShane,
You can try www.myconversionbrain.com It does exactly that so that you can know which leads came from which
keyword, adgroup, campaign. It also tracks which display partner or remarketing site generated the
lead. Basically it tracks down all the source traffic (Google organic, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook,
referring links etc) for all the leads that you get automatically. It tracks which page the user submitted the inquiry and also the pages that he browsed before and after inquiry...Plus it helps managing your leads so you can see which keyword delivered the best ROI and which ones
waste your money. So you can see the status of the lead from the initial stage of the closing. You can also keep track of all your leads quicker and easier than email programs so that your leads are properly cared for and not being wasted. You can add sales people and much more...It also does other cool things like notifying you immediately once your leads come back to your website again or specific and important pages on your site (your choice).
If you want a free free demo (10-15 min) let me know and I would be happy to show you using
screenshare.Cheers

Hi! what about using cookies?
I mean, when an user reaches your site have a get php rule that appends a cookie to the user if their medium referral is cpc.
In your form you can add an hidden value which is cpc= 1 or 0. When the user send the form you can look for that cookie, if it exists set the cpc value to 1 if not 0. So you'll ahve a db stored information about if that user came or not via cpc.

This is a bit trickier working with Wordpress and a plugin.
If you have your Analytics linked, then Google will add ?gclid=XXXXXXXXX to your URL when someone clicks through. As a result, you can flag that session as an Adwords session. Normally I would add a session flag but Wordpress doesn't run sessions by default. You will have to add some PHP programming to make that work and that's outside the scope of this forum.

Adwords landing pages with no site links
Adwords best practices say to focus landing pages on conversions, with no navigational links to the rest of your website so they don't get distracted. However, now that Google Ads in the SERPs look so similar to organic results, visitors may click the ads instead of the organic result because that's what they see first. What is the risk of turning off these visitors who come to a landing page with a form, instead of a way to navigate through the rest of your site? Discussion question: Trade-offs between a form-focused landing page and providing navigation to the rest of the site?

Is an email signup form more effective than a button?
I'm very confident it is. But I'm looking for a study I can use to tell my conservative bosses that if we replace the button with an email entry field and button, we'll improve conversion greatly. If anyone has a link to a study on how much you can further improve clickthrough by having an overlay form appear, I'd appreciate that as well. Joel

Is anyone aware of stats stating how many people abandon pages the deeper they get in a site?
For example, let's say someone enters via a landing page, and instead of having a form there is a button to a form. What percentage of people will click the button and fill out the form vs if the form was right there on the page? Basically, I am trying to figure out what percentage of users do websites lose for every click a user makes on the site.

Track bounce rate per PPC keyword
Hi all Wondering if anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction with this please. When running an adwords campaign is there a way in which one can track the bounce rate on the landing page per keyword sending paid traffic? I've had a play about in adwords and GA and couldn't find the right option. The site I am sending traffic to is not a ecommerce site so cannot set up conversion tracking so we are going to monitor the bounce rates of different keywords and drop the ones which are bouncing much higher than others as it seems better to invest the budget in those words which are keeping people on the page for longer. Many thanks Carl

Tracking Organic Seach Queries From GA to Companies
Okay, so this is a kinda ridiculous, long shot whim du jour. But it's so intriguing I can't resist. Last week, GA reveals that my client had 6 queries (vs. 0 since the beginning of time) in the format: Large Red Widgets #3 in Obscure Suburb (of my client's head office) Large Red Widgets #3 just happen to be expensive and profitable. My question: is there a snowball's chance in hell of tracking this query any further? I'll take what I can get -- since not many people are interested in red widgets #3 in said obscure suburb. I'd like enough info so a sales rep can follow up. These folks are not shy. Thoughts? Next steps? Idiot proof instructions on where specifically to look in GA?

Goal Tracking in Google Analytics
Hi guys, I just want to ask if you have videos or blogs about setting up goal tracking using conversion page or a "thank you page" in Google Analytics. This will help me to get how many inquiries (from contact form) I am getting and for me to know where they came from using Google Analytics (countries, source/site they used, time on site, category page and landing page, etc.). #2 question - In case I don't have a "thank you" page, is it possible for me to get these "goals"? Do I need to insert a code in each of the "send" button in my contact form? Looking forward for a positive response from you guys. 🙂 Thanks, JC

Does the word next to domain gives more relevancy to the page of it's URL?
Whether putting a (category or brand) word next to domain is better than on the end of an URL? (i.e. domain.com/sony/tvs or domain.com/tv/sony) Which one would get higher result on SERP "tv" or "sony" in both cases? Or maybe they both serves the same?
