Hi There
I'm not an advanced analytics expert (maybe medium level ) but let me try to help out.
1.Enhanced eCommerce vs Event Tracking
Enhanced eCommerce helps you measure how users interact with your products, shopping cart etc - so you can see in depth information around adding items, viewing items, cart abandoning, purchase completions. You can slice and dice this at a product level. This is only for sites where you can purchase products on the site.
Event Tracking is like a blank canvas to track any sort of user behavior you want (within some limitations) - but you might track a button click, interaction with a video (play, pause, etc), or PDF downloads, or scrolling behavior.
Importantly, you can turn and event into a goal where you could track sign-up form completions (via the click of the 'submit' button) as a goal and tie that back to your standard analytics data.
Event tracking can be done on any website - even if you don't sell products.
2. In short: no. You may still need event tracking.
If you enable enhanced eCommerce, this will give you the capabilities described above (measuring product and shopping cart interactions) - see this for more info https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6014841?hl=en ...BUT your option to use event tracking is your choice based upon what you might want to measure. If you want to measure clicks on your email list signup button you need event tracking. If you want to trigger an event with scrolling behavior (see this for an example http://cutroni.com/blog/2014/02/12/advanced-content-tracking-with-universal-analytics/)
Hope that helps!

Tracking goals on a subdomain with traffic coming from main domain subfolders. Mission Impossible?
Hello guys, I'm facing a huge challenge setting my goals. Here is the situation. I'm having the same Universal Analytics code on my main domain with different languages www.example.com/en/, www.examples.com/fr/, etc and my www.shop.example.com subdomain. So a French user will go to www.example.com/fr/, see a product that want's to buy and after the registration will see a thank you page on www.shop.example.com/success.html, and here comes the problem. My goal URLs are not "fired" with my filter. I have set up a filter (attached) to include traffic only for the desired profiles, but when this filter is on I can't see conversions. When the filter is off I can see conversions but for all languages. Any ideas how to set up the filter properly? Thank you! Filter.png

Why do WMT's Search Analytics & GA's Real Time Keywords Differ?
I took a screen shot of the keywords from Google Analytics Real Time Keywords for Google / Organic. Then I waited a week and filtered Google Webmaster Tools' Search Analytics for queries with those keywords. None of them showed up. Why not? What I missing? Why do some keywords show up in Google Analytics RT for Google / Organic while most others are in Not Provided? I see WMT's Search Analytics says that it doesn't always show queries that "are made a very small number of times or those that contain personal or sensitive information." But most of my queries are like that. Anybody know any patterns / criteria that leads WMT to show some but not others? Thanks

Difference between site: search and Total Indexed in Google Webmaster Tools.
This morning I did a search on Google for my site using the site: operator. I noticed that the number of results returned was significantly different than the "Total indexed" in Google Webmaster Tools. What is the difference and is it normal to have two very different numbers here?

Looking for a Drupal module to track conversions...
I don't use drupal very often, so I'm looking for some help. We manage two sites in drupal, and the way they are set up, it creates a new thank you page every time someone fills out a contact form. The thank you page displays the information that was entered, so I assume it is necessary to create a page to do this (this was set up before I came on board). What I'm trying to do is track conversions in analytics by thank you page, but because a different node is created for every page, it makes things really difficult. My guess is that there's some kind of module or shortcut that could make this easier. Do any of you know of something, or preferably, is there something you're using that you'd endorse? Thanks for your help. -Adam
