Event Tracking or Goal Tracking?
-
Hi guys,
What do I need to implement if I want to track sign-ups (and where this successful transaction/goal came from) and email inquiries (from a contact form)? Event Tracking or Goal Tracking?
If you can share some of your guides or blogs/articles you found online, that would be great.
Thanks in advance!

For any people later coming in, in this thread. I got in touch with the site owner, it turned out that the GA tracking code was missing on the thank-you page.

Sure, if you want, we can discuss this through email. May I know your email?
-
Redirected, how? It could be via Ajax so it won't trigger an official new pageview? If these are not the case can you PM me the site we're talking about?
-
- Is there a new pageview when the user completes the form?
Yes, the person will be redirected to the thank you page once he/she completes an inquiry through our contact form.
- Have you validated the URL by looking at the pages viewed via the Content sub menu item in Analytics?
I don't know why it(/thank-you.html) is not showing.
What do you think is the problem?
-
Hard to say from here what your problem could be, I'm thinking about:
- Is there a new pageview when the user completes the form?
- Have you validated the URL by looking at the pages viewed via the Content sub menu item in Analytics?

Hi Martijn,
Thanks for the suggestions. We've already setup a goal tracking in Google Analytics using a URL destination (a "/thank-you.html" page) but I don't know why it is not working on one of our 2 sites. I still can't see any conversion data from the traffic reports once I click the "goal set 1". What we want to track is how many inquiries we're getting (the no. of people who contacted us from a "contact form" in a product page) and see where they come from (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Google Adwords, Facebook Ads, Direct Traffic, Social Media sites, etc.). Let me know your thoughts.

Hi,
That would be goal tracking, but you might have to use event tracking to set up the goal tracking. I can give you the whole explanation on how this works but since Google Analytics already created a pretty useful help guide for this: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1032415?hl=en I would recommend reading it.
Cheers!

Google Ecommerce Tracking
Hey all, I have GTM set up on a site and I am trying to enable the Ecommerce tracking functionality. My problem is this, I have access to the basket variables all they way through the checkout funnel to the payment page, but they are then lost on the payment completed page. Does anyone know how I can pass the value of the basket across to the payment completed page so I can mark the transaction completed with an actual value present. I cannot post hidden input fields or change the url get variables as the third party system that us used fails. I have thought maybe javascript calls, but not managed to get to work as yet. Can the Google session pass and hold them in the cookies that are set? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers Tim

How to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page?
hi, This is my first question in the forums and I'm looking forward to be part of a great SEO community. I was wondering ow to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page? I've been using Wordpress jetpack site stats for while, which shows great data like keywords used in google, landing page etc. But I would like to have access to the full path for each separate visitors (including their IP address and country is possible) to improve my website and conversions. Example: step 1: Visitor X types "seo" on Google step 2: visitor lands on my homepage step 3: visitor visits to order page and buys Is there such tool available as a Wordpress plugin? Or do I have to use Google analytics for this? thank you for your help, Marc

Google Analytics e-commerce tracking on multiple pages
Hi, I work in the airline industry and we are trying to implement Google analytics on our site. We are at the stage of getting e-commerce tracking setup. The problem we face is that we have multiple receipt pages (booking confirmation pages in our case) instead of just one as most carts would have. These are completely independent of each other. My question is can I use the same e-commerce tracking code on each page or do I need to setup multiple trackers. I reviewed the documentation here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/ecommerce#multitracker however I'm unsure if multiple trackers are needed when using it on multiple pages or is this just for multiple trackers on the same booking confirmation page. any help on this would be greatly appreciated

How can I track the traffic source/keyword of form submissions?
I'm using Google Analytics on www.nhfinehomes.com and would like to track the source of leads submitted via form submissions. Ideally, I could track if the lead originated from organic search (and what keyword phrase), PPC, referral links, etc. Is this possible with Google Analytics and if so, can anyone point to some documentation on how to do this or better yet someone who can help me set this up? This site is running ASP.NET and uses JQuery so there is not a 'traditional' thank you page that I can reference. I'm not a programmer and do not pretend to be one! Thanks in advance. Link
