Is there any way around being able to set up 20 goals in Analytics? What if one of my clients want to set up 10 pages with separate actions to track on each page. Will then each actions count as a separate goal? If this is the case, how could I work around creating more than 20 goals? Would I have to look into hiring/buying a third party or separate software?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Yes, it is possible to edit a goal after i has been set up.
-
I do have another question, I see that you can edit a goal. Is it possible to edit the goal with a new action to track?
-
Great thank you
This will help me to be prepared if questions arise from that client. I want to be able to explore different avenues if one suggestion doesn't work.
I appreciate your help.

Honestly, my first suggestion would be to follow Jen's advice in creating another profile within the same Google Analytics account to get access to 20 more goals. You could create a profile for each specific section of the site and/or specific kinds of conversions you are tracking.
Another option would be to use Event Tracking rather than using goals in this scenario. Check out https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide for more info.

Thank you
Are there any that you would recommend assuming that I I want track form submissions, downloads, etc...? Can analytics be integrated into the separate tools?
-
Google Analytics Premium is the paid option and it only costs a cool $150,000 a year. There are other conversion tracking tools out there that are free/much cheaper, but it depends on what kinds of things you want to track (ecommerce, phone calls, form submissions, newsletter signups, etc).
-
Thank you
I appreciate your help and feedback.
-
I believe you get more goal spots in the premium version. You can have as many profiles as you want in GA without any issues.
-
Thank you Jenn -
So I would have to create a new account (duplicating the profile) using the same information as the original. You say "free", are there paid options? Duplicating the account will not skew any metrics?
-
The only "free" way around the 20, is to simply duplicate the profile and you have 20 new goal spaces in the new duplicated profile.

Google Analytics not Working on all pages despite many attempts
Hey gang, So this problem has been going on for months. None of our landing pages track, but all of our blog pages do. I've tried GA plugins, (we are on wordpress) and just now even put the code in the theme header script. Still to no avail. I just checked right now, and the blog pages have the global GA code, but now I noticed not even the home page has the code! Could it be something to do with my theme? I tried to pay a guy on upwork to fix but he couldn't fix it either. Thank you for you help!

Google Analytics & Omniture Discrepancies
I am seeing a significant difference between my traffic numbers in Google Analytics and Omniture (Omniture has significantly more). I do not expect them to report exactly the same numbers but these are just too far off. Any idea why that is, or which one I should trust more? Thanks!

Multiple domains to one payment sub-domain in Google Analytics
Hi Mozzers, I have a series of sites (~25) that are all regional e-commerce sites with the same URL structure eg. www.[region]-product.com as well as a 'master' site (eg www.product.com). I also have a single Adwords PPC account which point to all of the regional sites as well as the master site. As part of the payment/checkout process you only ever get taken to a sub domain of the master site (eg payment.product.com). My question is: Is it wise to use the single PPC Adwords account to set up an Analytics account under which I list all of the regional sites and the master site? Once that's done I'm not entirely sure how I can track sales from a regional site to the payment process of the master site and have sales correctly assigned to the right domain. On the payment process I can only use one site ID tracking code so I'm not even sure I can correctly assign a transaction to a single site if multiple sites use the same payment pages. Example: Visit to region-product.com > Quote form submitted to payment.product.com > Payment completed on payment.product.com > Sale is assigned to which domain? Can anyone who understands what I'm trying to achieve comment on the plausibility of this? Many many thanks!

Regular Expressions in Google Analytics
I want to use the Google Analytics landing page reports to look at the bounce rate of top level pages excluding the homepage. So pages with urls: www.example.com/example Does anyone know a regular expression that will allow me to do this?
