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.

Google Analytics Goals - Button Tracking
Does anyone know if there is a really easy way to track a button in Google Analytics yourself? It seems that most button click goal setups involve some use of tricky code and I'm wondering if there is a much easier way to do this that will allow us to simply setup and track certain button clicks as goal conversions in Analytics. Your help here is much appreciated!

Google Analytics Set-Up for site with both http & https pages
We have a client that migrated to https last September. The site uses canonicals pointing to the https version. The client IT team is reluctant to put 301 redirects from the non-secure to the secure and we are not sure why they object. We ran a screaming frog report and it is showing both URLs for the same page (http and https). The non-secure version has a canonical pointing to the secure version. For every secure page there is a non-secure version in ScreamingFrog so Google must be ignoring the canonical and still indexing the page however, when we run a site: we see that most URLs are the secure version. At that time we did not change the Google Analytics setup option to use: "https" instead of "http" BUT GA appears to be recording data correctly. Yesterday we set up a new profile and selected "https" but our question is: Does the GAnalytics http/https version make a difference if so, what difference is it?

Tracking Goals on a Subdomain?
What needs to be done to Analytics to track goal completions on a subdomain? The main Analytics profile is set up for example.com, but landing pages for paid campaigns are set up at sub.example.com. 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.

Goal in Analytics - mulitple sources for the destination?
Hello, guys. I am trying to find information without luck for my case - I have a contact form, which is placed on many inner pages (about 40). My question is - how do I make a Goal that has simultaneously all the different sources at once (as steps probably) - because there is a max limit of goals, and because analyzing them separately will take much time. When a form is submitted, a /thankyou//?recordid=0d53415b-3e6b-4a32-add7-1586a4737a89 (or similar URL) appears.My guess is that I use a regular expression of ^/thankyou as a Destination, but I do not know what to write in steps. Thank you all in advance, I hope I find a solutions of this annoying problem..

Google Analytics Best Practice Set up for Clients
Hi When setting up new Google Analytics accounts for clinets what is the preferred/best practice. At present we have our own company google account and add new clinets this way (to our account) - the disadvantage with this, we can only grant them limited account access otherwise they would be able to view all the accounts we cretaed. Plus we can't link their adwords to the GA account we cretaed them. Is it best practice to set the client up with their own Google Account and then we just link to their account. Advise would be appreciated, thank you.
