Facebook Connect login preventing traffic source conversion data. Any solutions?
-
We're buying traffic to the website via Adwords, and when they hit the website and go to sign up for an application (enter into our conversion funnel), the session concludes as a bounced session, a new session starts and that session now has a referral from Facebook rather than the original referring source. This means we can't monitor adwords conversions properly (or any other traffic source conversions) this seems to be quite a common problem with Facebook/Google account logins, in the case of Google, people block account.google.com but we can't afford to block Facebook outright as we're wanting to see other Facebook referrals.
Has anyone come across this problem? Any suggestions of how to fix this?

Hey, how did this work? Did you get it to track appropriately?

Cool, thanks for the quick response! I will see if that is going to work for us.

There's a take on this at Quora here: http://www.quora.com/How-do-you-track-Facebook-Connect-signup-goals-in-Google-Analytics where the attribute is getting applied via a query string. In his example "redirect_to root_url(:new_facebook_user => resource.new_facebook_user)" 'resource' would be replaced with 'adwords' or whichever attribute you'd like. Cheers!

Have you notice that more you spend on a Facebook boost, less you make?
On a Facebook page I manage it has been noticed or atleast argued that the more you spend on a boost for a specific day the less conversion it makes. for example: spending 10 euro/dollars on a boost would give: 160 likes, 6 comments, but by spending 40 euro/dollars would give nearly the same: 170 likes, 7 comments we have run this a few times with similar outcomes.. Any ideas or did you have a similar outcome?

Buy Facebook Likes for visitor trust?
I was curious if anyone ever considered buying Facebook likes to increase visitor trust. Our homepage has only 75 likes even though we are a leader within our industry. A smaller competitor has over 1,000. If all else is equal, I question whether this helps to influence trust amongst visitors and whether there is any value in doing some Fiverr deals to buy FB likes. My concern would be to be in Google's bad graces by them thinking we are doing this strictly for ranking. However, now that Google has declared that social signals are not a ranking factor, I feel this is less black hat and maybe something that Google won't care about. Thoughts?

Suggestions to Improve Worst Conversion Form Ever Designed?
My commercial real estate web site has about the worst conversion form ever designed (http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/visitor-details). The form appears whenever a visitor does a property search. If they do not release their phone number and email address they don't get results. The form only gets completed 25% of the time and often the contact details are wrong. The visitors either exit the site at that page or go to the listing or neighborhood pages to view listings without doing a filtered search. In an attempt to increase conversions we are softening the form and not making completion mandatory. After entering an inquiry the visitor will be shown three property listings before the form pops up, The idea being that once they have seen product they will be more inclined to release contact info. Also, the form will appear once they have viewed three listings anywhere on the site, not just for search results. Unlike the existing conversion form (http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/visitor-details) we are trying to keep the text very concise. The new form will be Java script rather than a URL. Can anyone offer some ideas on how to make the text of these new forms more enticing? The forms are listed below. We will probably show the first one after the visitor views 3 listings and the variation of it after the visitor views another 3 listings. ** FORM #1** Quit wasting time searching for listings. (watch icon) Call me to discuss available space. Yes No --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORM #2 Don’t search for listings, we will do it for you. We have off market listings that no one knows about. Contact us now about off market listings. Yes No ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Alan
