Google Analytics Goals - Different Domain
-
Hi,
We currently need to setup a goal that involves a different domain. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
more info: the checkout process is redirected to a secure.domain
Just let me know if I can provide any additional info that may helpful.

Thanks William. I was hoping for a solution for cross domain tracking. I'd ideally like to setup a goal in the first site to track the conversion on the second site.
Both of your suggestions are good ones. I appreciate the time.

Do you need to track through the checkout process on the second site, or do you just want to know how many people are clicking "checkout" on the first site?
If you want to know the number or people who are getting to the checkout site from a specific link, you can use onClick and javascript to fire virtual pageviews to analytics.
If you need to track throughout the checkout process on the second site, you would need access to that site. If you had that, you could track the path of conversion back to the referrer (the first site).

Tracking Google places (7 pack listing) traffic in google analytics
Is there a way to see Google Places traffic (traffic from users clicking through the 7 pack listings) segmented in Google analytics ? Normally is it just lumped together with the organic traffic ? Can you see the search phrases used to find your site, or do they also show up under 'not provided' when from Google Places. Im aware i can see some limited data in the Google Places analytics, but these seem to be 2 days behind when ever i view them.

Google Analytics Organic Accuracy?
Hi, On a cool summers day, I was quenching my thirst for SEO Knowledge in the depths of Google analytics, When I stumbled upon a most troublesome sight. I was Browsing the data inside Acquisition->Keywords->Organic and comparing them to Acquisition->Search Engine Optimization->Landing Pages, to find the results quite questionable.. Since Keywords->Organic measure the visits from the organic results, and Search Engine Optimization->Landing Pages measures the clicks onto one of my landing pages from Google, I assumed they should be the same or very close, (besides Keywords->Organic having visits from other search engines) but they were not the same, as a matter of fact it was telling me that Keywords->Organic visits = 1,474, 27.19% of total(5,422) and Search Engine Optimization->Landing Pages, clicks = 1,548 154.80% of total (1000). Even worst the Search Engine Optimization -> Queries clicks = 1,123, 160.43% of total(700). I have been searching, and come up empty handed in the answer so does anyone know why Google is showing me different results and strange numbers that don't make sense? Any information is greatly appreciated?

How to compare Goals in Analytics
I setup LivePerson web chat on my site. In doing so I integrated it with Google Analytics as a conversion goal so I can track the visitors that engaged in chat. I want to see the affect these chats have on my other conversion goal, a completed lead. How do I figure out the conversion % of new leads for people who have enaged in web chat vs. those who haven't?
