One more point to add here:
If you are looking at "Total Conversion Value" instead of specifically "Transaction Value", you could have other goals set up with some value tied to them.
For instance, you could have a lead page goal setup with a value of 1. Whenever an AdWords users hits that lead page, the Total Conversion Value is going to go up by 1. '
You can review all your conversions you are tracking in your account in the Tools tab under Conversions.

Alick has some good points, but I would also point out that depending on where you are accessing data in Analytics you might be picking up information for your Bing PPC account as well, assuming you have a Bing PPC account.
Do you have conversion tracking set up in AdWords? Are you tracking calls and clicks as conversions or are you only tracking revenue?

Hi Dev,
You are not going wrong any where. AdWords & analytics track data differently .Please read below two points your doubt will clear. I hope it helps you.
- Different attribution models: AdWords will give attribution to AdWords click during the set conversion window irrespective of other sources which may be involved during conversion. Analytics by default will attribute goal completion to last non direct source. For example User clicks on your ad on 1<sup>st</sup> January >> visits website and exits >> he visits website again via referral link on 5<sup>th</sup> of January and converts. AdWords will attribute conversion to AdWords click and Analytics will attribute goal completion to referral.
- Different Attribution for conversion date: AdWords attributes the conversion to click date while Analytics attributes goal completion to actual conversion date. For example User clicks on your ad on 1<sup>st</sup> January >> visits website and exits >> he visits website again via referral link on 5<sup>th</sup> of January and converts. AdWords will show conversion for 1<sup>st</sup> January and Analytics will show Conversion for 5<sup>th</sup> January

Google Analytics Campaign Tracking overriding each other
Howdy, fellow mozzers. So, here is the situation: Let's say someone comes to the website through Organic Google Search, and first thing they see is the banner on the website, on a click of which it takes you to a promotional landing page. I have this banner being tracked with GA campaigns. Now, here are my questions: If that user makes a purchase, which source / medium it will be assigned to? Organic/google or website/banner? (as far as i understand it assigns it to website/banner) If that's the case, is there way to find out afterwords where the website/banner sessions came initially from? If there is no such way, how shall i setup the tracking to be able to see wherre the initial visit to the website came from, yet also track how many people clicked on the banner and made a purchase? Thanks 🙂

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?

Setting up goals in Google Analytics
Hello! This question is seems so obvious that I'm also ashamed to ask... almost. If the goal of a website is to have a visitor complete a contact form, when setting up the Goal in Google Analytics (as a "URL destination") the URL of choice would be the form's thank you page, correct? Because that's the page that proves the visitor completed the task we want them the achieve. Right? Thanks!

Google Analytics question
Hi, I recently relaunched my site on a wordpress CMS. The relaunch has gone well except for a category of traffic within Google Analytics which is referral traffic from google.co.uk (its a UK site) which has dropped off hugely. The non-paid search traffic from google.co.uk is the same or better than it was. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between referral traffic from google.co.uk and non-paid search traffic from google.co.uk. Thanks for your help. Ben

How Can I Record .zip Traffic in Google Analytics
The company I am with shows traffic coming in to .zip files in Google Analytics. The traffic being recorded stopped a while back, but I know people are still downloading/visiting these .zip ULRs. I'm not sure how they were recording/tracking the .zip URLs (in Analytics) before, but I'd like to track them once again. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks
