How do I set up goals in analytics to track the sales funnel when several pages of the steps required to checkout have the same url?posted in Reporting & Analytics
I have found this in Google Analytic but it makes no sense to me - is there are better resource which explains how you do this step by step ( or a good video perhaps?)
Identical URLs Across Multiple Steps
In some situations, the URL does not change across a sequence of activity. For example, a sign-up process might have the following URL path:
- Step 1 (Sign Up):
www.example.com/sign_up.cgi - Step 2 (Accept Agreement):
www.example.com/sign_up.cgi - Step 3 (Finish):
www.example.com/sign_up.cgi
To track visitors' progress through a funnel with the same URL for each step, modify the tracking code to create a virtual URL for each step in the sequence that you want to track. For details on how to use this in your tracking code, see Virtual Pageviews in the _Asynchronous Migration Examples_guide, which shows how to do this in all versions of the tracking code. The following example shows how you might fabricate 3 URLs using the asynchronous tracking code:
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/funnel_G1/step1.html']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/funnel_G1/step2.html']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/funnel_G1/step3.html']);You would then define your funnel and goal URLs using the ones you created in the tracking code modifications.
