Number of E-commerce transaction is less while goal conversion count is more
-
Hi All,
As far as I know for one goal conversion I could have have more E-commerce transaction but in my case it is opposite I am getting e.g two goal conversion count for one e-commerce transaction or 6 goal conversion count for 3 E-commerce transaction.Why this is happening & How could I fix that?
Thanks

Without seeing you analytics I can't do much more, but with what you are saying I think you should re-look at how your thank you page is performing, see if that page is getting 2 around double as many page views as sessions, or if there are a large number of page views with less than 1 second, or if you look at your thank you page, is the previous page nearly 50% of the traffic. If your goal is set up correctly the only thing that could be causing this would be the page double loading in quick succession or having 2 copies of your GA code on the page.

Hi,
I have defined only one thank you page in goal set up, no automatic page reload.
@Hutch42 - What info do you want me to share here to find the main reason/resolve the problem?
Thanks

Hi there, did you see the response to your question from Hutch42? He brought up some good points.

How do you have your goal set up? it seems like your goal is firing twice, or you have an automatic page reload somewhere, unfortunately problems like this are hard to diagnose without being able to actually see your analytic's information. The best you can do is look at the rules defining your goals and see if they are to broad, if you are basing them off on an event that is hard coded onto your site then you should also look into your code to make sure it is not firing twice during a purchase.

Adwords and Analytics Conversion Tracking within Adwords
I am trying to decide whether to setup conversion tracking in Adwords using the website/page as a source, or Analytics. I do understand the (basic) difference, however in tossing up the pro's and con's of each I would be grateful for some input. The advertiser is in the (offline) retail and service industry and so conversions being tracked include completing a form, making a booking etc - so it is no problem to implement the tracking snippet. My gut instinct is that Analytics is not as accurate as a reflection as the webpage (due to the way it records only the last conversion). Would it be a mistake to use both? (my concern is that double clicks will be recorded)

How to track offline conversions
What are the best ways to track offline conversions that have come directly from paid ads such as Adwords? Say for example, John searches for 'luxury armchair' and clicks on one of our ads and is directed to the landing page that sells the luxury armchair. John then calls us and completes the transaction over the phone. How do we know that the advertising channel is responsible for that transaction without physically asking the customer? I know Google provide free forwarding phone numbers which can be provided in the Ads, but if they call us from the phone number we list on the website there is no way of tracking down that exact sale? Google mentions something to do with providing a unique ID, called a "GCLID" but I'm not familiar with this or how it works. Any advice is much appreciated.

Google Analytics and WorldPay - Tracking Sales/Conversions
Hi there, I recently remember reading somewhere that tracking code could be used to monitor sales/conversions of eCommerce payments that went through WorldPay. I've been looking around the web for news stories, forums, discussions, but all seem to be from 2007 - 2011; was just wondering if anyone knew any up-to-date info they could point me towards? Thanks

Help with getting no conversions
Ok, so let me give you the breakdown here. So I have recently optimized this product and am trying to focus on getting this product to sell a couple times a week before I move onto the next product with SEO. Google has not updated my title and description yet to see if my SEO has been even somewhat successful, so I am waiting on that. While I have been waiting, I started a PPC campaign. I would say over the last 7 days I have had about 250 visitors to this page, however, none of them resulted in any questions about the product, no account signups, no orders that are incomplete and worst of all, No Sales.Here is a copy of the add. RC Nitro Truck 60MPH $219Buy Now Remote Control Nitro RC Truck. Redcat Racing Volcano S30 60 MPHwww.rcnitroshop.com Can someone look at the page and tell me if it looks fishy or if there is a reason you would not buy from this page? Any advice would be appreciated. Also, if you notice any critical SEO errors that would also help! I ran the on-page optimization through SEOMOZ and i got a letter grade of an A with everything 100%. Thanks in advance. I have been working 5-10 hours a day on this website and on eBay and would love for it to actually pay off someday lol. The links to the page are in that add above. Just click on that to take a look.

Google Adwords Conversion Tracking Code Help - Not Showing Conversions
Hi, all. I am having issues with a clients website. They have their website developed by a company http://www.flowerstoreinabox.com.au/ my clients website is http://www.flawlessflowers.com.au the google adwords conversion tracking code has been added to their site. It measures all details as far as ads clicked on, etc.. the only part that is not been measured is the conversions of the adwords campaign. So I cannot see if the ads are successful or what their conversion % is.

Adsense and e-shops.To do or not?
I own a furniture e-shop with 240K pageviews per month. Should I put Adsense to gain some more money? Or it would drive my customers away? I see many e-shops using Adsense advertising. Is there a good reason not to use it ?

How Do You Sell View-Through-Conversions and Remarketing?
Hey Mozzers, We have a client that has spent $500 on a remarketing trial. This resulted in 4 direct sales with a revenue of $600 and 75 view through conversions. The average sale is about $150. I presented a report with a best and worst case scenario of the VTCs (that is all VTCs were responsible or no VTCs or some VTCs were a direct result of the remarketing campaign). The client needed more proof that the VTCs were a direct result of the remarketing - which I did not have. I know this was a really profitable campaign, but I just cant prove it. Has anyone had any experience with this? Or know of any good blog posts I could read up on? Thanks.
